Description
How does a tombstone differ from a headstone?
Headstone is a gravestone, a grave marker: a monument traditionally made of stone placed at the head of a grave while tombstone is a headstone marking the person’s grave.
Tombstone is (surfing) for a surfboard to stand upright half-submerged in the water (like a tombstone, above) because the surfer is underwater with his or her legrope pulled tight often this indicates a surfer in difficulty, either held down by the power of a wave or unconscious and unable to get to the surface.
