There was almost some surf one day a couple of weeks back, 2' 9 seconds, mushy. Mushy is the new normal here, I guess. When I first got to the beach I saw this really long, red empty board bag lying on the sand. A SUP sized board bag. So I scanned the horizon before I paddled out. Didn't see any SUPs so it seemed safe. After a while, I see a really big, long SUP, it looked like one of those racing SUPs, I guess, but the guy was sitting down paddling with what looked like a kayak paddle. Idk wtf. So he turns toward shore, and I thought uh oh. I made sure to paddle clear of the path of destruction between the break and the red board bag. So he jumps off of the thing, right in the impact zone, and lets go of it. A wave picked it up and it went rocketing towards the shoreline. I expected carnage, but a guy wading near shore managed to get a hold of the ark before it killed someone. The kook apologized, zipped the thing up into the red board bag, and departed. Some of these clowns are lethal. Now that the Erika hype train has left the station, I'm sure that every kook in the state that can get its hands on a sup or surfboard will be heading to the beach this weekend.
Ol' MISY you know I'm pretty sure I seen them characters Monday..I should have snapped a pic so you can relive your fond New Jerseyian memories
some lifeguard a few years back broke his neck in the shorebreak on a yak... sups and yaks should require a boating license
I miss the guy on the firewire in a fully with gloves and booties in July who dropped in on me kicked his board out after shoulder hopping, wind blew it back at me and I swatted it aside and kept on keepin on down the line. When I paddled back out he said what are you just going to run over my board then invited me to the beach in an angry tone. I asked in my calmest voice, "why did you lose your hood and you need help looking for it?" People laughed at him. He threw a fit then went home to Pennsylvania or Ohio or whatever. Calmer than you are...lol.
I fail to understand how people fail to understand the dangers of such kookery. Had a SUP'er zipping back and forth from peak to peak one morning, regardless of the fact that one of said peaks was the one me and a homie were on before anyone was out. One time, chest high short period sloppy day, four dudes on SB's swimming out to the line-up with their boards dragging behind them, pointing towards shore, covering a span of about 30 yards. Cristo swell, last year, kook booger(who I know well enough to talk to) drops in on me on the nicest right i had all day. The coup de grace? He bails his board right in front of me as were paddling back out right after that wave. Some people are totally clueless, and as o'Barry says, should stick to knitting. <grin>
I just like the common every day kook. You know- they guy who just started surfing a year ago- but continually paddles around you on a 2ft day and tries to show off and kinda gives you a look like "see how I shred"
A guy got mad at me for not accepting his apology for dropping in on me a couple weeks ago, that was definitely a first. "**** YOU I'M SORRY!!!"...
Saw a guy last week that looked dead up like Putty from Seinfeld. Big, muscular, dumb as hell looking guy with a constant confused look on his face. He was on a SUP, which he could barely stand on. Kept falling off and wobbling all over the place. Oh, and he was WEARING AN IPOD. Dude would paddle for absolutely everything in his wobbly kooky stance. He usually fell before he could catch the wave, but in the event he did catch it he couldn't hear the guy coming down the line due to his IPOD. It was a mess.
Ha, yes. There's always the one guy on his brand new 5'8" Lost Channel Eye that can't catch a single wave because he's afraid to actually take off on the critical part of the wave, getting pissed and yelling and punching his board because he can't catch ****. Then getting doubly pissed when people inevitably start taking off in front of him. These guys are almost always military.
My son and I were the only surfers out on a knee high day. There were three sand bars working in a three block stretch and we were sharing some waves. This big guy on a costco sup paddles out to our "two person line-up," bails on a wave about six feet from us and launches his board at us. We both duck and his board goes over the top of us. My son and I laugh and my son says "WTF?" The kook on the sup doesn't say a thing, mean mugs us, and paddles further outside where he continually missed waves before finally giving up.
