means Someone who rides ocean waves standing on a board, and by extension, anyone who glides along the surface of something — the internet, a trend, a mood.

from From 'surf,' which English borrowed in the 1600s to describe the foamy swell of waves breaking on shore — its own roots murky, possibly linked to 'sough,' an old word for a rushing or sucking sound. 'Surfer' itself is a 20th-century coinage, riding in on the wave of actual wave-riding as a named sport, first among Pacific and Hawaiian surf cultures, then exploding into American beach slang by the 1960s. 'Surf the web' came decades later, borrowing the same image of skimming a vast, unstable surface and somehow staying upright.
