Surf's up dude!

A term coined by the DC 'crew'. One who rides the metro without sitting or holding on to anything. Some call it an art form while others simply see it as something stupid to do while riding on the metro, I have some tips for those who want to try it.
  • A wide base is important, but too wide is cheating, shoulder width is what I recommend.
  • The use of arms to balance (what gives it the surfing look) are discouraged especially when it's crowded.
  • What's most important is to courteous to those around you. Everyone's probably going to want to kick you in the shines anyways.
Hopefully I'll have some pictures to better document some of my tips but we'll save those for later.
