It's like a staccato attack but the note is partially choked right after it's played and the hand slides down the neck. A lot of surf guitarists use this technique, and it's famously used as the pickup note into Dick Dale's Miserlou, though I often hear the sound as less pitched than it's used in that context.
First...is there a term that surf guitarists use for this technique?
Glissando is the musical term I've seen used to describe this.

Yes! Is there a term for when the glissando happens specifically with a half muted note? The version I hear in a lot of surf rock seems to be more of a really quick punctuation between phrases than a full on slide, but I might be splitting hairs here. Perhaps it's just an accented glissando!

Hey BB,
Do you plan on doing any Slacktone? 
Here's your Slacktone.
Glide
Slacktone - Glide Transcription
Some of the recording was difficult to hear. Dave Wronski absolutely hammers those double picks and sometimes the bombastic stylization makes the pitches a bit obscured. It can sound like he's striking open strings, though it's hard to say if this is part of the song or if it's just kind of an 'accent' sound as he's shifting positions. In any case, the gist is there, so I'll leave it up to you do your own tweaks.
The fingerings for the main melody are pretty accurate based on his youtube channel, but the solo section was based on what I thought he'd do based on what came before it. Feel free to adjust as you see fit.
The video posted is not the version I transcribed, but I can't find a copy of the cut from "Into the Blue Sparkle" on Youtube.

I owe you a beer or something. Can't wait to learn this.

Good luck with those double picks! Dave is a monster and just fires them off at will. I don't even think I caught all of them in the transcription. This track makes for a really good right hand study trying to get those double attacks clean and sounding effortless.

And continuing on the Messer Chups project:
Chupacabra Vs. Batman
Chupacabra Vs. Batman Transcription
Edit: Fixed some stuff in the TABs. In general, the traditional notation will be more correct than the TAB which I usually do second.

I'll put it in queue! I unfortunately got caught up in work-related stuff so I haven't been as active on here lately, but I'm hoping to pick the transcriptions up again in the very near future. Would you be able to do me a favor and send some links to those songs?

Updated with links. Thanks for thinking about it. I can grab phrases here and there but I seem to always drift out of key and I think some of this is fairly simple for someone already familiar with the typical scales and motifs in surf but doing it cold a note at a time for a newb like me is tough.
