Don't you just hate Shoulder Hopping Kooks ? He doesn't even check to see if others are on. He didn't even actually even get to push up and bailed his board. He's on a too wrong board for the level he is at. The other rider could've seriously get hurt ( but after popping up to the surface after getting rag dolled, he still wouldn't even know there was another surfer ).

Cool video. It's interesting to see that surfer easily avoid the kook and try to cram himself into a tube but unfortunately goes down himself. Conditions like that usually preclude kook involvement but you can see why.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Looks like he got caught up in the “go shorter” hype. Seems to be a Rusty Dozer shape. Bet he got it to be able to duck dive and make it out to the main peak. Then what ??
