Stoked, Stoked, and More Stoked!: The Word That Took Over Surfing

On beaches around the world, there's a word that has taken over surfers: "stoked." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's no longer enough to be excited or happy; now, everyone is "stoked."

What Does "Stoked" Mean?

Imagine being so excited that you could burst. Well, that's being "stoked." Surfers aren't just riding waves; they're riding them with ear-to-ear smiles, shouting "stoked" every time they get out of the water. A one-meter wave? Stoked! A spectacular wipeout? Stoked too!

Blame Instagram

Thanks to Instagram and TikTok, "stoked" has become the mantra of the surfing community. If you don't use #stoked in your surf photos, are you even really surfing? Spoiler: no, you're not.

A Philosophy of Life

For some, "stoked" is more than a word; it's a philosophy of life. If you're not stoked about your morning coffee, your dog, or even finding a good parking spot, maybe you need to rethink your priorities.

The Future is Stoked

So, dear surfers and aspiring surfers, get ready. The future is bright and full of... stoked! And remember, the next time you see a perfect wave, there's only one word to say: Stoked!
