Yes, you're basing your opinion off of one small sample/experience.
Yes, a hasty generalization and a stereotype are similar in that they both involve making assumptions or judgments about a group of people based on limited or insufficient evidence. However, stereotypes are typically more ingrained and pervasive in society than hasty generalizations, which can be more individual instances of faulty reasoning.
A synonym for stereotype could be generalization or clichΓ©.
Generalization is the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus.

A stereotype is a fixed, oversimplified belief or idea about a particular group or category of people, often based on assumptions rather than actual knowledge or experience. Stereotypes can be harmful and perpetuate unfair biases or discrimination.
A simplified generalization regarding England, the English language, and the English people is what an English stereotype is. For example, beautiful complexions, rainy weather, and unpredictable spelling may serve as examples of respective stereotypes regarding England's people and weather and the English language.
Hasty generalization is a logical fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence.
When using inductive reasoning, be cautious of generalizing conclusions too broadly based on limited evidence. It is important to recognize that inductive arguments can only provide probabilistic support for a conclusion, not absolute certainty. Additionally, watch for biases or hidden assumptions that may affect the validity of the reasoning.
Hasty generalizations are often typified by exaggeration and poor preparation. Thus, one example of a hasty generalization may be "everyone knows what generalizations are." While a hasty generalization may sound accurate at first, a cursory fact check can quickly disprove it.
An informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence
A generalization that is made after seeing only one or two examples
A faulty generalization is a statement that's not true while a valid generalization is a true statement.
The fallacy identified in the excerpt about Sam the surfer is the hasty generalization fallacy. This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn from insufficient evidence, in this case assuming all surfers are careless based on one individual's behavior.
My classmate's house is big, so his family must be rich :) (Hasty generalization is a claim that, as it may seem fact at first, can be quickly and easily disproved) Apex :)
