Don't be a shoulder hopper!

Today’s word of the week? Shoulder hopper—and no, it’s not a dance move. It’s that one surfer who repeatedly snakes waves from the shoulder, cutting off riders with priority and generally acting like the ocean owes them something. In this episode, we unpack the meaning, the etiquette breach, and why everyone hates a shoulder hopper. Plus, did you know there's an actual song about them? We’ll play you a verse or two from the Surf Punks’ cult classic and talk about why this term still hits a nerve in the lineup.
