Surf Zombies

Surf zombies are seemingly lifeless beings that stand by the sea, motionless for hours, watching surfers with the cold stare of a hungry shark.

Their eerie silhouettes scatter the shoreline like tombstones, forcing intrepid surfers to circumnavigate the seaside cemetery.

Ok, I’m getting carried away now but you know the people I mean. They’re usually an assortment of indecisive surfers, hypnotized wave lovers and concerned parents.

A ‘surf zombie’ is anyone who spends too much time looking at the surf and not enough time splashing about in it. Here’s what I mean:

North Shore surf zombies

Surf zombies at Vieux Boucau, France

North Devon surf zombies

Surf zombies meditating at The Cribbar

Surf zombies at high tide

Friendly zombies

Sunset surf zombies

This article was inspired by a thread on the Magic Seaweed forum where you will find these and other surf zombie sightings.
