5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)
surf
 v.

    [from the ?surf? idiom for rapidly flipping TV channels] To traverse the
    Internet in search of interesting stuff, used esp. if one is doing so with
    a World Wide Web browser. It is also common to speak of surfing in to a
    particular resource.

    Hackers adopted this term early, but many have stopped using it since it
    went completely mainstream around 1995. The passive, couch-potato
    connotations that go with TV channel surfing were never pleasant, and
    hearing non-hackers wax enthusiastic about ?surfing the net? tends to make
    hackers feel a bit as though their home is being overrun by ignorami.
