Meaning:

“陆” is short for “陆地” (lùdì, meaning “land”), and “冲” is short for “冲浪” (chōnglàng, meaning “surfing”). This term, coined by Chinese netizens, refers to surfskating, a type of skating done on a board called a surfskate, which is a skateboard with a special surfboard-esque shape and unique features that essentially allow you to surf on the street. The sport was invented by Californian surfers who looked for ways to practice their moves on hard surfaces during flat sea days.


Example:

A: 周末有空一起玩吗?

Zhōumò yǒu kòng yīqǐ wán ma?

Are you free to hang out together this weekend?

B: 好啊,你有什么计划?

Hǎo a, nǐ yǒu shénme jìhuà?

Sure. What plans have you got?

A: 我刚买了一块陆冲板,一起玩吧。

Wǒ gāng mǎile yīkuài lùchōng bǎn, yīqǐ wán ba。

I just bought a surfskate, so let’s try it out!
