I'm at university at the moment, so my BB collection is on my hard drive, with the artwork left back home.

I'm making a surf compilation for a friend of mine going away for a surfing trip and was going to inclue the amusing list of 'surf terminology' found on the back of the Surfin Safari LP.

If anyone could copy and post the list here, or post a scan - that'd be fantastic!

Many thanks

I'm thinking you might mean the "Surfin' USA" LP.  Here's what it says:

Those not familiar with the wet variety of surf-in' might like to know that:

*A "good set of heavies" is a run of really big waves... the best kind for high-speed riding.

** A "gremlin" is a beginning surfer.

+ "Toes-on-the-nose" means riding way up front, standing with the toes right on the nose of the board for maximum speed and thrills.

A.k.a. gremmie... Which reminds me... Anyone ever heard Pearl Jam's cover of "Gremmie Out Of Control"? It was co-written by Gary Usher and originally released by The Silly Surfers in I believe 1965... Now that's a great surf song...
