A Guide to the South Bay Surf and Action Sports Scene
Hipster surfer?

What exactly makes a hipster surfer? I haven't a clue.
The New York Daily News ran a piece titled, Influx of hipster surfers in Rockaway.

I was honestly unfamiliar with the idea that one could be both a hipster and a surfer (as opposed to being, say, just an ordinary surfer). Do you surf ironically? Don a pair of Buddy Holly glasses when your grab you old school Malibu single fin? Throw some flannel over your vintage beavertail wetsuit and paddle on out?
Since the South Bay has more than its fair share of hipster, I only though it fair to share the plight of these poor NY surfers. Spread the word! The hipsters are coming!
