== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure]]'': Bill S. Preston and Ted "Theodore" Logan speak with quite a lot of surfer slang, despite being metalheads instead of surfers. They're from San Dimas, which is in Southern California, but far from the ocean.
* Spicoli, from ''[[Fast Times at Ridgemont High]]''.
* Chicken Joe and Geek/{{spoiler|Big Z}} from ''[[Surf's Up]]''.

Line 54 ⟶ 55:

* Zoe from ''[[Knight Rider]] 2008'', while being a [[Cunning Linguist]] and [[Asian and Nerdy]], speaks like a surfer (Awesome ''is'' her favorite word) so it is no surprise when she turns out to be an actual surfer chick, which allows her to get some field experience in 'Knight of the Iguana'.
* Wilder from ''[[The Latest Buzz]]'' is more of a skateboarder, but his speech is, like, totally
* One episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' has Elaine dating a guy named Tony. He is not a surfer, but he has a surfer-like attitude, and he likes dangerous activities. George [[Even the Guys Want Him|admires him,]] but Jerry is not impressed.

== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 76 ⟶ 77:
* Jeff from ''[[Maniac Mansion]]''! Gnarly!
* Bonaire in ''[[Alundra]]'', though that was probably an [[Woolseyism|invention by Working Designs]].
* ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]''

* The surfer weasel from Spyro: A Hero's Tail on Coastal Remains, who gave you the "Fill the Pool" mini quest. He was such an obvious parody that his talk after you beat the quest is nothing but him saying [[Verbal Tic|Dude]] a dozen times.

* Inverted in a way with Joseph Trundle, a basketball player in the ''[[Furry Basketball Association]]''. He is an English nobleman--[[Impoverished Patrician|12th Baron Overstone]], to be exact. (Yes, he is often called Lord Trundle, a [[Shout-Out]] to the ''[[Fern Hollow]]'' series). He has the appropriate mannerisms and accent of the
