I took my very first surfing lesson last week and tweeted “after decades of surfing nothing but the world wide web, i’m finally tackling the waves.” I was a terrible first-time surfer, but it did make me wonder, where did the phrase come from? I wanted something that expressed the fun I had using the internet, as well as hit on the skill, and yes, endurance necessary to use it well… I also needed something that would evoke a sense of randomness, chaos, and even danger.
