Where did all this stoke come from? (Not from my mouth!)

I consider myself a proficient surflingo user, dude. But I’m not sure I’ve ever actually said the word “stoke.” Until now. 😜

In this episode, I dig into the history of one of surfing’s most iconic—and oddly poetic—words: stoke. From 17th-century Dutch fireplaces to the 1950s California beach scene, this word has traveled its fair share to become the defining expression of surf joy.

We’ll talk Beach Boys, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, skate culture, mountain bikers, and getting excited about a burrito.

Let's get stoked on it!
