Stoked Information

The word stoked is centuries old and refers to stoking a fire with wood, a fire that is "stoked" burns bigger and brighter. Stoked has been used as a slang word to describe a state of excitement and fun in surfing culture as far back as 1902. Today the word is used in many ways throughout the world to convey a good feeling, but it is still primarily used in its root sport cultures to describe a feeling of joy about a specific thing or about the moment in general, for example, "I'm stoked about this new board" or "I'm so stoked right now".
