Gidget

[Rick H Kennerly]

Matt Warshaw, long-time editor of Surfer Magazine, is reported to be working
on an Encyclopedia of Surfing, due out in 03.

Besides defining terms like "right side slide" (a beach situated so that
approaching waves brake from left to right), one of the listings will be for
petite archetype surfer girl Kathy Kohner (now Zuckerman), who around 1956
was nicknamed Gidget for Girl Midget by the Malibu surfing crowd.
