double tracks


Explanation:
They say literally; Let's draw some big twin (double) tracks together.
So I have to disagree with Carlis Hsu that this is about tandem surfing, as that would only leave 1 track on the wave.
double tracks or twin tracks would be better, but I don't know if there is maybe some surfer slang for this.

agree  Jean Deklerk: Well, Weblio likes the "tracks" translation. And "tracks" is a term commonly used among surfers.

carving parallel/twin tracks


Explanation:
I agree with BPlonk with the tracks translation but feel if it's in a novel or piece of literature talking about what two people are doing I'd go with making parallel tracks across the face of the wave or something to that effect

probably carving tracks would be my choice to give it a surfing vibe
