Quote.. "The white surf flinked on a coral reef..." The word flinked appears to have been invented by the author and in this passage seems to be suggesting the distant flickering glint of white caused by the waves breaking on the coral reef. It has been suggested that the word was formed from a combination of the words flashed and winked.
