Surfing
Surfing is the act of rapidly navigating through the Net. As one may surf on top of waves, so one
surfs over the Net's flow of information. The descriptive moniker also alludes to the very active, dedicated
nature of the sport. Also called "cybersurfing", "netsurfing",
"websurfing", "surfing the net", etc.
