Finding a Name for the Event

To get some inspiration I started to look at surfing again and the terms. Found out some pretty interesting stuff actually, listen below..

Point Break - The Swayze / Reeves flick entitled "Point Break" was named after this type of wave! The point break is a wave that breaks onto a rocky point. A good example of a point break is Bells Beach in Australia. (It's nice how this links the film and the wave together!)

Any of the above can be used to describe a young or inexperienced surfer. Grommet is also the cute doggie character in the Nick Park animation creations. (And they are really rather good!)
