English term or phrase: Catch a tube
"For those gainly few who are capable of not only getting up on their boards, but also able to remain standing while a wave comes their way, the holy grail of the sport is to 'catch a tube.' This is when the surfer manages to maneuver in to a position whereby the top of the wave curls over them, forming a tube or barrel, with the rider lost from sight inside the wave as it breaks over him."

Har fått ett förslag: "åka tub". Vad sägs om det? Tack på förhand.

catch a tube
göra en tunnel


Explanation:
eller ta tunnelbanan
Vet inte alls om surfare i Sverige använder dessa uttryck, men originalet är ju en ordlek, eftersom catch the tube betyder att ta tunnelbanan
