The theme of his entire career has been surfing and/or beach tho.
He has an album called Surfer's Paradise and his last 3 album cover shoots have been on a beach, some of which have surfboards. And this song was complete in 2013.
I doubt Beyonce can even surf anything other than Jay-Z.
If anything Beyoncé was inspired by Cody. That is, if she even came up with the serfboardT line.
Obviously Cotex Simpson is a surfer dude, but that doesn't mean he didn't blatantly copy Drunk In Love. The beach scenes are extremely similar, not just because they are on a beach, but how the scenes were filmed. And the surfboard reference is obvious as well.
