hang ten
Classic surfing stance
Hang ten is a surfing maneuver where the rider walks to the front of a longboard and curls all ten toes over the nose, requiring precise balance as the wave pushes from behind.
The phrase extends to any act of relaxed confidence or showing off: Just hang ten and enjoy the ride.
