"Money Line"
The secret line in the surf that allows you to pass all of your friends.
"Where you going Shell Vaa?" "Slow down OPT" -With respect of course
When you are lined up with friends for a long surf piece and then one of them takes off with 75 rate and victory in their eyes. Guys will yell at him and say "Where you going Shell Vaa? Slow down OPT."

gets used in other sports too. originally heard it when I used to snowboard.
Yard Sale:
Most often seen when someone's hot dogging in the surf or at the beginning of a race. Paddler gets dumped or huli's and his/her paddle, water, Gu's, boat, seat, hat, and spare paddle go everywhere. usually if it happens to you about 40-50 people will see it go down to enhance the embarrassment factor. so called for giving the impression that one is having a yard sale and has strewn everything out for display purposes.
#17 Tue, 12/25/2012 - 10:39am
"Skin off" what you reply to someone when they say they are going to paddle with another crew....
#18 Wed, 12/26/2012 - 9:58am
"I got trash bag stuck under my ruder the whole run." or "I had water in my boat that was slowing me down."
Just did a Hawaii Kai run yesterday and the current was backing up bad. I was thinking that the whole time. So much so I wanted to stop and check under the ruder and see but I didn't.

"clean start"
where all the canoes in a race false start at about 75% of race pace. then the officials blow the starting horn 30 seconds later. usually triggered by some guy in the middle of the pack yelling "GO GO GO!!!!"

"I took the inside line"
-What you tell your friend when they find you clean, dry, and clearly done with the race. Of course, your friend usually beats you and is perplexed at how badly they were left in the "bushes". That's when you truthfully explain how you went driving past along the coastal road because you turned back at the first buoy.
A true story re-told, original courtesy of Mr. Jeff Cummings.

"Going Nuclear" or "Dialing the launch codes"
Usually said from the chase boat when someone on your team is so frustrated and about to blow up because timing, crew, blending...etc. is off!
