English term

wiping out

English to Swedish Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Surfterm
When done well, surfing appears easy. Yet, as all those who have tried to stand up on a board on even the most placid of water will tell you, it is incredibly hard to master, and falling off - or wiping out to use the technical term - is a common experience.

Finns det någon svensk motsvarighet, eller används det engelska uttrycket? Tacksam för synpunkter.
Proposed translations (Swedish)

Vurpa eller krascha

Förlora Kontrollen is too formal to explain the sense of wipeout. The above suggestions feel closer but may not be not perfect.
Peer comment(s):

agree Anders Ryman : "krascha" (or simply "falla")

Förlora kontrollen

Hej,

Det kan översättas som "förlora kontrollen" i andra sportsammanhang, men det kan hända att svenska surfare har en egen jargong.
