Tarp Surfing - Catching urban waves

via tarpsurfing.com

Very clever, visually arresting use of tarpaulin.

In the parlance of the kids.:

"Homer Henard (Wizard of the Tarp) friends Nic Lamb, Omar “Odog” Etcheverry, Chris Killen and Ruse Entertainment bring you the phenomenon known as Tarp Surfing…Watch as the Santa Cruz boys score some mega slabs in the tarp…..ENJOY!"

I believe they call that the verbiage of Tarp Surfing.

Wont be too long before this "inspires" a TV spot by [insert hipster agency]. I hope they get paid well.
