Surfing Waves

Same thing goes if you are a KOOK.

Paddling back out to the peak after nearly getting my eye poked out by a kook on the inside, I hear " what's your problem man ?"
Me- Excuse, me ?
Kook - " Yeah, you, why'd you cut me off for ? You went right across me, I was going straight !! "

Summer feelings.. We are on kook season here as well. A while ago I almost ran a guy up, he was paddling out and I set myself on the wave line because there was lots of room for the guy to paddle to the white foam. But instead he kind of froze there, and tried to paddle straight. I didn't have reaction time to pull out so I tried to swerve a bit and jump from the board in case I actually ran over him. Close call.

At least in my case the guy was very apologetic, he was so nice I ended up apologizing too and encouraged him on some waves. It's not always like that though.. It's more annoying when the person screws up and still feels like they are right (like in your case).

Well I hope you calmly explained how it's supposed to work

One thing I've learned over the years is:

"YOU CAN'T REASON WITH STUPIDITY"

It's just a waste of time and energy trying to argue a point they don't grasp anyways.

As Oscar Wilde said. "Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

That said, from my observation, the idiot rate is NOT lower in better surfers and/or locals. It just shows differently.

Bad thoughts, very bad. It's all winter, it will pass ... spring will make you think about life!

I have borrowed in various places. They were just like any other company, have never had contact with the company but only paid the invoice when it arrived. And yes, I know it is better to borrow somewhere else but not from a lending company. click to read more

Hi Enchavi, you seem amazed by surfing attitudes and our toying with fear and cold water in our oceans.
World surfing champions are known to punch out sharks when the sharks tangle their leashes.
We look reefs in there at pipeline, JOB is our ambassador of weird and death defying surf.
So there is only one question for your bewilderment, actually two.
Do,you surf and if so where?
Then we can see where you coming from!

What ? Winter is when there all the least amount of Kooks. Spring break and Summer is when they're out the most.
