body whomping

Localized southern California term for body surfing at a beach with an extreme beach break. Any failure to pull out of the wave can result in being thrown into less than 2 inches of water, potentially resulting in injury...like a broken collar bone or neck.

Dude, let's go body whomping at Marine Street.

Aren't you a little old for Marine Street? Let's go to Sea Lane.
