Car surfing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Car surfing is an illegal stunt in which passengers of moving vehicles perform various stunts, including hanging out of the car or 'surfing' on the hood while it is in motion. Car surfing has caused several people to be killed[1] during the course of such stunts. It is normally done lying on the hood or on the roof while the car drives.
Car surfing has been popularized by the hyphy movement and is similar to ghost riding.
[edit] In popular culture
In the Akio Ohtori Saga of the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena, the character Akio preforms a move where he flips himself from the driver seat over the windshield of his convertible and car surfs at high speed, presumably after turning on the cruise control.
