Description of a holiday
‘It’s an area of pine forests, sand dunes and amazing green surf.’
The sentence is from quite a relaxed, borderline colloquial, description of holidays. I’m not very familiar with the term, but I’m guessing it has to do with surfing? Does it stay in English, i.e. do the French use the term in English?
Thanks!

tubes de surf
Green surf se réfère probablement à de belles vagues émeraudes dans votre énumération, mais il existe bien un terme de surf associé à cette couleur, la "green room".
"5 conseils pour faire des tubes. Des tubes, barriques, barreaux, barrels, tuyaux, cavernes, barichons, visiter la chambre verte, vérifier la tuyauterie, enfiler des perles, etc… Qui n’a jamais fermé les yeux lors de ses premiers tubes, qui n’arrête pas de respirer dans la chambre verte ?"
