Kooky things we love to see

1) Sitting on board for 1-2 hours straight and just conversing.
2) Getting in others' way mostly being in our takeoff zone and also on drop in.
3) Wearing a hooded 4/3 and up with gloves/booties when air is 60-75 and water 62+ in September while I'm in just baggies. News flash: it's still summer til tomorrow and you're 2 months away from a hooded fullsuit w/heavy boots & gloves. Saw this yesterday AM & today. Bet they don't even hit up the winter sesh.

When the old guys shred on longboards better than the guys on shortboards.

 

When a kook starts cussing real loud after eating it after being gifted with a juicy wave to go on by his self because every one else had already gone on the last set and gotten barreled or shredded it up and as we are paddling out he gets a gift wave and eats in in front of everybody and starts yelling ****!

Then everyone yells ****! in mock anger and then laughter erupts.

 

every summer I lend my boards to kids who never surfed before,and they go to crowded spots and launch my boards at unsuspecting surfers.sometimes I like to sit on the inside and paddle for every wave somebody else paddles for then not go!sometimes I like to go to crowded beaches and run out the water arms flaring screaming sharrrrrrrkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yesterday I was dropping in on a waist high wave on my longboard, a girl was paddling out on her long board about 20 feet away from me, and was easily going to make it past the wave on the shoulder. I knew she was there, and had plenty of space.. I had no concern because I had space to go around her and worst case, if I got too close to her I could have stalled a little, but apparently her life flashed before her eyes bc she started screaming like she was dying! "Watch out watch out watch out!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
Maybe her first time paddling out? Either way, shut up kook! Your making yourself look like even more of a kook by making all that noise over nothing.

 

Pink soft tops.
At Croatan (VB) last winter, I saw a guy trying to paddle out on one. He wasn't having much luck and looked like an ant flailing away in the toilet. When I was leaving, I saw in the parking lot a SUV with NY plates and four more pink soft tops on the roof. Never was able to figure that one out.

 

Shortboarders that are aggro and think they own the break but really suck

 

When kooks put their boards on the car nose first. Stupid KOOKS!

 

But isn't that more aerodynamic!? I always laugh when I see that too.

I love cruising down the line in trunks and and letting my balls hand out to the folks out the back of the wave.

 

Alright, I'll admit it, when I see the dinner cruise boat ride by, I throw both arms in the air and yell "where's my dinner?!"

 

Girls on longboards with booties and gloves on when the water is 70 degrees and a go pro when they can't even stand up yet they need to film themselves.

 

When people ask this same stupid question, over, and over again.

 

Putting a board on the roof nose forward is just wrong. It's like wearing a baseball cap when riding a motorcycle, bicycle or skateboard the brim is always turned backward.

 

...wax side up.

 

Watching someone paddle and miss every wave because their nose is 2 feet out of the water.

 

Dragging all their gear out to the beach - board still in bag, wetsuit under arm, changing and putting on wetsuit while standing in the sand. Parking lot is right at the beach.

 

A bunch of stoned surfers asking are there gonna be waves and then bragging about dropping a deuce in the line up.... Oh wait, this is kooky things we love to see. The 15 member family that rolls out to the beach with a sup board, then proceeds to take turns battle wagoning it thru the line up. Oh wait, "love to see"... Crap, I keep messing this one up. Okay, everyone else take this one.

 

I feel like many are judgmental of others by their gear, so I enjoy seeing guys on foam boards or real generic pop out boards who can surf really well. Just goes to show that you cant judge a book by its cover. I also dont mind seeing the newbies barebacking it when its chilly out hahah they just sit there like shivering buoys hating life..
