Swarm of Kooks

So the surf is, again…flatter than flat. But, after not surfing for a week, my friend and I decide to hit up the ankle rollers and test our luck. We had already gotten the heads-up from a surf buddy, “Tiny, but fun!” So we paddled out to the usually kook-filled main beach. We usually like to go to the left break on the other end of the beach, but the tide was super low and rocky, so we were forced to go to the right. I brought my thicker 6’0 Kennedy fish (the closest thing I have to a longboard) and was pleasantly surprised. The waves weren’t too bad. “Tiny, but fun” was a perfect description. I never really got a wave by myself, (that’s what happens when the kooks are out) but it was just nice being in the gorgeous warm water until…………all of a sudden…………..wait! What’s that!? Uh oh! A SWARM OF KOOKS heading right towards us!!! Sh*t!!!!! As the swarm paddled towards us, the number of kooks in the water more than doubled. That’s when it came time for me to take my last wave in. The more kooks, the more chaos, the more hazardous to my health.
