This term has also transferred over to the snowboarding world.  Although as far as 
I can tell it has lost the negative association it used to have for surfing.  Now 
it just seems to mean "board babe" (no political incorrectness intended) although 
this may be a purely Canadian phenomenon.


And what do big purple dinosaurs have to do with surfing anyway?
