It's a badge of honor to be called a surfer dude. There are plenty on the Laguna Beach High football team, led by its 6-foot-4 junior quarterback Jack Hurst.
Surfer dudes are fearless, agile and stay calm under pressure when there's an approaching wave. They have good timing, great instincts and enjoy moments of serenity while gliding on a board waiting to test themselves against a wave.
Hurst has to avoid tacklers, so when a wave suddenly appears it's good practice making quick decisions just like he does in football.
"I do surf a little bit. Don't know about good. Being on the water is time to be calm for me," he said.
