there is usually a perfect spot to be in just in front of the breaking wave

Mr. Kook

Mr. Kook is a recent surfer who is slowly but surely emerging from kook-dom. He'll been dishing to new surfers with an irreverent approach to surfing etiquette and all things kooky.

Dear Kate Bosworth

Dear Kate. I loved Blue Crush. Don’t you think, some six years after release, it’s time for the sequel? Please don’t make us wait like the Endless Summer II.

Cigarette Butts and the Ocean

It’s a little known fact that the biggest pollutant to hit the oceans isn’t those plastic bags from your local supermarket, or oil from the Exxon Valdez or brown trout from your local sewer, it’s CIGARETTE BUTTS. If you’re a surfer who smokes, well, you should quit. But if you’re in town, and you see [...]

Surfing in Pensacola, Florida - Cop gets pummeled

So, aside from the fact that the surfer in this vid is attempting to surf Hurricane Ike - complete with crazy winds and tons of whitewater - and is later seen “riding” closeout crap, the best part about this vid is the cop getting totally pummeled by a wave, as he attempts to drive his [...]

Umm, no thanks

This is just ridiculous. Do marketing folks think this is actually interesting? It’s boring, and even the clothes are ridiculous. Nice surf hats though - that’ll keep the sun away.

Surfer gives up surfing too early

Well that just sucks. Saw this on Craigslist Newport beach the other day. Land lover indeed. It’s a sign of the end of summer. Poor ex-surfer gets frustrated at a sport that requires a serious commitment to fail, failure, fail again, can’t paddle fast enough, pearling and other general kookiness. But man when you get [...]

Surfboard Fins to the Front of the Car

Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit harsh on the dude pictured here, who has committed the error of putting his fins on the back of his…errr…Italian beach vehicle.
But for new surfers, it’s always a weird feeling seeing someone drive by in their JALOPY with their fins up, but at the front of the car. [...]

Perils of pearling while “surfing”

Ahh yes. Goat boats. We’re sure it’s quite a rush to surf down the face of a wave in a big mofo of a boat. But, as any kook knows, pearling happens from time to time. It can be rescued. You’ve got to push yourself off of the deck of your board etc. etc. Anyway, [...]

Surfing Rules and Surfing Etiquette Signs

At my local beach break, there are no surfing etiquette signs, and it shows. Today, I was dropped in on by about 5 people, even though I whistled, occupied the corner and let other pulses slip past to clear out the masses. A sign is needed. I have three pet peeves, and I’d bet you [...]

Funny Sex Wax ad

This is a Sex Wax print ad campaign. Good stuff. I haven’t personally picked up a stick of Sex Wax in a long time, largely because I don’t think it’s as good as Sticky Bumps or Palmers. Just personal preference, but when I wax my poly boards with Sex Wax, the wax tends to crumble [...]
