I say Blue collar
And no offense intended towards anyone.
White collar = hobby (spend more on the price of the gear, than on the experience gained by learning from mishaps) fishes more the "easy" way.
Blue collar = obsession (spends more time fishing than money for coffee, gaining more experience than "top of the line" gear.) Tends to know all the rocks on their favorite jetty personally, and at night!
This has been my observation, and by no means is indicative of surfcasters as a whole.
