Too far from a surfer's position? (9)
I believe the answer is:
overboard
'too far' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a surfer's position?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'position?' could be 'over' (I have seen 'superior position' mean 'over' so perhaps 'position' could also mean 'over') and 'over' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bord' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overboard that I've seen before include "in need of a life jacket" , "off deck?" , "Man . . . . . . . . . - launch the lifeboat!" , "(Fall) into the sea" , "in the main, unfortunately?" .)
