surfers
Ocean sport athletes
Surfers are people who ride ocean waves on surfboards, balancing as the water propels them toward shore.
The term extends to anyone who moves through something in a casual, exploratory way—most commonly the internet, where surfing the web became the standard phrase for browsing without a fixed destination.
Channel surfers flip through television stations looking for something worth watching.
The beach was crowded with surfers waiting for the next set.
