People been scrolling since they got control of screens. The common term shifted from "surfing" around when connections got good enough to deliver content in a steady stream vs loading wave after wave, surfing connotated a level of skill in keeping the next one lined up and there were all kinds of tools to help with that. Forums, webrings, link aggregators, RSS. This pic would've been taken around the time of that transition and I feel like the guy in it was probably one of the trendsetters already scrolling chan sites at that point
