Kookiness...

Kookarama today got beat up by some waves and I drifted into serious rip current...was not fun and I am sure not pretty!

You’re Probably a Kook if…

---you have stickers all over your board, but you’re not sponsored.

---you have claimed a maneuver in waves under waist high.

---you gave yourself a nickname like “Shredder” or “Airman”.

---you continually ask others if they saw your last wave.

---claim that you could surf as well as any pro if you just had good waves to practice in.

---think that being good at that Kelly Slater video game somehow translates into being a good surfer.

---when watching someone on video straighten out at huge Backdoor, you yell, “What a wus! I would’ve pulled in.”

---you purposely drop in on someone in good surf.

---think that anyone who rides a different board (long, short, fun shape, boogie board) has less of a right to be riding waves than you.

---actually utter the statement, “I was ripping today.”

---when the waves are good, you leave the water for a cigarette.

---you hoot at yourself.

---your nickname is “Flappy” or something similar.

---you think you have the authority to write a list that explains why other people are kooks.

---you wear your rash guard as a regular shirt.

---you broke your board hopping across the face of a knee high wave.

---you have never surfed without a leash.

---You are reading this list.
