Hanging Five

In surfing lingo "hanging five" refers to riding on the front of the board such that all five toes of one foot hang off the edge. This is typically done on long boards. In contrast to the dramatic aerials of the short board riders, these surfers focus more on grace and style.

perhaps the foot becomes an improvised bowsprit of sorts, adding a personal stamp to clarify who is the board'sowner...or maybe its just a matter of tickling one's toes!!...good catch..
