I was talking about both, though it might be tough to sustain an hour long
surf on an ocean wave.  But it doesn't matter at all to the surfer.  The
only difference will be that on an ocean wave, the surfer will move over the
ground, while on the river, the surfer will stay in one place relative to
the ground.  But he or she will still be surfing!

Based on what you said in the above paragraph, I still think your paradigms
are wrong. I don't know how to make you understand, short of showing you
first hand.  Check my definition for surfing, which I just posted. Perhaps
that will make more sense.
