hanging ten
Toes over edge
Hanging ten is a surfing maneuver where the rider walks to the front of a longboard and curls all ten toes over the nose while riding a wave.
It requires exceptional balance and wave positioning.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for staying relaxed or riding something out with style: Just hanging ten until the project wraps up.
