Pearl isn't exactly a very aggressive sounding name to follow Tiger.


Not to mention that to a surfer...."pearl" is not a good thing.

I don't think Hobie Alter would approve.

Actually, the 16 should have been called the Pearl.

"<pearl>...(surfing) to dig the nose of one's surfboard into the water, often on takeoff. also [pearl diving]"
