Which musical instrument do surfers love to play while riding the biggest waves in the ocean?
A ukulele
The humor here comes from a clever blend of maritime action and Hawaiian culture. Surfers look for the 'swell', which sounds suspiciously similar to the musical strumming associated with tropical island melodies. When you catch the right break, you are essentially playing the rhythm of the sea.
