Some day, I would love to see the local media progress beyond this inane "hey dude"/Jeff Spicoli stereotype of surfers. The Australians have, why can't we?

I won't hold my breath.

I think the laid back dudeness is the nature of the beast -- at least in Socal and Hawaii. Steeping in sun and salt water for hours daily makes for a wet noodle communing with nature. The antithesis of a formica concrete constructed word driven lifestyle. Even brainy surfers (and many are) will talk you know like that.
