Winter Kooks

ill agree with that
maybe its being from a very secluded surfing community that i have this out look
but i kinda understand what you are saying

 

i just hate it when there are people out who do not no how to surf out in the water and just because their out there they think they are entitled to every wave that comes in.

 

ill agree but how you deal with the determines what type of person you are

 

I was at the beach on 12/27 about 10:00 am. I ride a longboard and took one look and knew it was not for me. After being out of the water for about 25 years it took the last year just to get the basic skills down. It aint like riding a bike for sure especially with 30 addl pounds hanging around. Knowing you limits will help you progress at a faster rate and maybe save your life. One things for sure - I'll be paddling out till I'm ready for the box.

Amen to that!

 

There was a few unexperienced people out today . I had one kid he must have been 14 or 16 and he was riding this old 60's Gordon & Smith Longboard . He didnt have a leash and he was dropping in at the end of the first section of the wave. He was every place I was I would move down and he would be there like 2 mins later. Soon as I seen him go for the same wave as me I turned out twice. I seen he didnt have a leash I let him know with board he has he should be a bit more careful cause if he looses his board it could hurt someone else. I gave him a few pointers and took him down to a less crowded area. He thanked me for giving him the heads up and he said he was gonna get a prorper leash for his board.

NO FISTS , NO CURSING , NO CONFICT. NOBODY GOT HURT

He kept or even gained more stoke from his session and so did I ,

 

perfect edict
keeps good vibes all around

 

i wish i could have gone out!! ive been sick

 

i find it funny that there are pics posted of every little swell and then people ***** about the crowds. You can't have both; pics = people. The young folks on here don't grasp that concept.

 

LOL everyone is young at some point. They will lear , They will learn

Unfortunately, the Your Daily Donkey stopped his blog citing reasons of karma and bad taste. It was good for chuckles

 

that made my day!!! great post!

 

Thats funny stuff

Thats just too darn funny, Guess he was a kook in training to be a big kook. I have had problems where I am out and someone learning is just going for anything and everything snaking all your rides and never even standing up. All apart of learning. What I usually do is just chat with him a little on my paddle back out and let him know your gonna be going for a waves even if he is as well and I let him know that if he gets up and going and has the wave that I will pull out or back off.

I have no problems with sharing.

 

If the conditions are good there is a rule that applies to every break I have ever surfed. If you are in poisition in the line-up to go, and you blow the wave, for ANY reason (unless youget hooted into a 10 footer at blacks and go over the falls going for broke), but other than that, if you cant stand up, or flop in the face, or miss the bottom turn, or just take a straight line to the beach, you are officially done for the day. You will be dropped in on EVERYTIME a set wave comes until you prove that you can catch the wave. Even if you get one, it may take you all day to get your priority back....

And I will give you MAYBE twice if you are the guy that paddles out really fast, turns like you are going to go cause you are in position, then you pus$ out as the face starts opening up while you are paddling in and then you pull out. You do that more than once, you are also done and every guy in the lineup is gonna drop in on you... ANd they will tell you why every time...

I won't usually be rude or talk smack to anyone in the water, but if I am sitting next to you, and I back off of a good set wave because you went for it, then you pull out or something. I will let out the biggest 'UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" you'ev ever heard... Just a sound of disappointment.

 

I hear ya

My example was one on a mellow, small, non-crouded day. Your right, if its good there is a defined lineup; your absolutly right. Move down the beach buddy cause your not surfing here. But if its just me and a very few other people in the water I'll help them out.
