surfing lingo

[oldmansurfer]

I am starting surfing again after not surfing and it seems there is a bunch of new lingo and I mostly surf alone so never talk to other surfers. Pop up I get that but what the heck is a green wave? Someone may have told me but I forget. While we are at it what are some other terms that we should know?

Those pesky kids and their new-fangled fancy surf talk!

Green wave is just an unbroken wave with a clean face.
