surfer greeting

by **nosferrari** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 1:45 pm

Hi,

I am not a surfer - I never tried it (just a little bit of wind-surfing) - so please pardon me, if I am using the wrong terminology.

I am a boardgame designer and currently I am working on a (rather abstract) surfer game.

I am searching for a title.

I would think a short but typical "surfer call" or "surver greeting" would fit best.

Any suggestions?

What about:

"stoked!"

"the perfect barrel"

"boardwax" - since its a board game too,..double entendre

"la vida puro"

"swell", "a good swell", "a great swell", "swell swell" Lol

"reef break"

"board break"

I dunno,...

Yunno!

:wink:

You already helped me.

What about "Waves!" - "Surf!" - "Super Surfer" - "Surfboarder" - something like that or names of places "Waikiki" (is this a surfer spot at all - ...don't know much about geography... :wink:

Thank's for any feedback

North Shore is the most surfed area I think. That and somewhere in Australia. I'm new, too.

Cowabunga!

Another good boardgame title would be "Wipeout!"

Nosferrari - I think you should try surfing, this would give you inspiration for the game and for the title!!

As regards suggestions - it's hard without making it sound cheesy.

If you want to appeal to real surfers you have to try and avoid stereotypes like 'dude' or 'whoooooaaaa'.

Something like 'Stoked' maybe - or the classic trick names?

'Hang Ten' - 'Five Toes Over' - 'Cutback'

or Conditions like

'8 to 10' - 'Offshore Glass' - 'Going Off'

or Wave types like

'Point Break', 'Reef break', 'Peeling',

Just a few ideas. It's easier to say what you should avoid really!!

wow a boardgame? that would be different. hmm... im thinking like the game of life with little 3d hills and waves to go over. awsome. woops, i mean rad... wow i just might buy a game like that! a good slogan might be sumtin like "what to do when the beach is flat'' or "after done picking up chicks at the beach, keep surfing on our new boardgame WIPEOUT!'
awsome dude (rad?) you are a genuis (did i speel that right?) anyways, great idea. keep it up :D
