This glossary of surfing includes some of the extensive vocabulary used to describe various aspects of the sport of surfing as described in literature on the subject. In some cases terms have spread to a wider cultural use. These terms were originally coined by people who were directly involved in the sport of surfing.
About the water
Beach break: An area where waves that are good enough to surf break just off a beach, or on a sandbar farther out
Blown out: When waves that would otherwise be good have been rendered too choppy by wind
Bomb: An exceptionally large set wave
Choppy, chop: Waves that are subjected to cross winds have a rough surface (chop) and do not break cleanly
Close-out: A wave is said to be "closed-out" when it breaks at every position along the face at once, and therefore cannot be surfed
Face: The forward-facing surface of a breaking wave
Flat: No waves
Gas chamber: The effect when a big wave rolls over, enclosing a temporary horizontal tunnel of air with the surfer inside
"Wipe Out" is an instrumental composed by Bob Berryhill, Pat Connolly, Jim Fuller, and Ron Wilson. It is a twelve bar blues first performed and recorded by the Surfaris, who were elevated to international status with the release of the "Surfer Joe" and "Wipe Out" single in 1963.
The single was first issued on the tiny DFS label (#11/12) in January, 1963. It was reissued on the tiny Princess label (#50) in February, 1963, and finally picked up for national distribution on Dot 45-16479 in April, 1963. Dot reissued the single in April, 1965 as 45-144.
The song – both the Surfaris' version as well as cover versions – has been featured in over 20 films and television series since 1964, appearing at least once a decade.
The term "wipe out" refers to a fall from a surfboard, especially one that looks painful.
Background
Bob Berryhill, Pat Connolly, Jim Fuller and Ron Wilson wrote the tune almost on the spot, as a suitable B-side was needed for the intended "Surfer Joe" single. In late 1962, while the band was in Cucamonga's Pal Recording Studio recording the single, one of the band members suggested that a gimmick sound indicating a wipe out off a surfboard be emulated. The suggestion was made that during the introduction before the music starts, a cracking sound, imitating a breaking surfboard, should be made. This followed by a manic voice babbling, "ha ha ha ha ha, wipe out." The spoken voice at the beginning of the song is the voice of the band's manager of the time, Dale Smallin.

Hey, I'll move out of the way for you Hey, I'll move out of the way for her too I never thought we'd end up here in separate cages It doesn't go like this, you've left out some pages Hey, when was the last time you laughed And did you mean it when you did? I'm just wondering, the sound in your voice it's abounding It's astounding how you live so close to your cure I never know what to do with my love I never know what to do with my hands So I'll put them behind my back I'll put them behind my back Behind my back Hey, don't you know what I mean when I say Hey, see it in my face, I'm breaking I've waited for so long just to know That you'd wrap yourself around me if you couldn't let go I never know what to do with my love I never know what to do with my hands So I'll put them behind my back (Put them behind my back) I'll put them behind my back (Behind my back) Behind my back (Put them behind my back) Can I move out of the way tomorrow?
