So if you're coming get ready to go[/quote][URL="http://www.ci.huntington-beach.ca.us/"]Huntington Beach, Surf City, USA[/URL], home to a major annual competition. Located in Orange County (the OC), south of Los Angeles
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malibu,_California"]Malibu,[/URL] a beach in Los Angeles area.
Shooting the pier, surfing amongst the pilings that hold up the pier. Very dangerous and generally against the law.
[URL="http://www.ventura.com/activities/beaches/rinconbeach/"]Rincon[/URL] a beach north of Los Angeles in Ventura.
Walking the nose = moving from the rear/mid area of the surf board up to the front. This is a lead up to 'hanging ten', placing one's toes off the nose of the board.[quote]Come on (surfin) baby wait and see (surfin safari)

[quote]They're anglin' in Laguna in Cerro Azul
They're kicking out in Doheny too
I tell you surfings mighty wild
Its getting bigger every day
From Hawaii to the shores of Peru[/quote]Anglin', surfing across the face of the wave, as opposed to riding it straight in.
Laguna, another beach in Orange County, California, further south than Huntington.
Cerro Azul could refer to "the blue hill" of a wave or Cerro Azul in Peru, a famous surf spot.

Doheny is a beach further south than Laguna.
