Surfer is a 2001 EP by NOFX in 2001.

The record was released on Fat Mike's record label, Fat Wreck Chords. The methodology for writing and recording the songs was much the same as the band's Fuck the Kids EP, with Fat Mike writing all of the songs in a limited amount of time (he claimed to have only given himself ten minutes to finish each one) and not teaching the songs to the rest of the band until the day of recording. The EP was recorded in two full-day sessions, making it the band's second fastest-completed EP or album recording (Fuck the Kids was recorded and mixed in a day and a half).

[edit] Notes/trivia

The EP was later included on the second disc of 45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records, but with one track omitted ("Three Shits to the Wind") in order to preserve something unique about the original 7" release.

The album cover is a parody of Bad Religion's 1988 record Suffer. Another reference to Suffer is etched into the vinyl: "THE MASSES OF HUMANITY WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO SURF," as opposed to "HAVE TO SUFFER" which is etched on the Bad Religion album. The infamous artwork of the lyrics being written on a wall was also replicated for Surfer.

The record is 13 minutes in length. The first 500 copies were pressed on blue vinyl, while the others were released on black vinyl.
