Leash or No Leash…My Vote
There are two schools of thought - or two different debates - when it comes to surfing. One: Longboarding or shortboarding? Longboarding is better. That one’s easy. Moving on to the second: Leash or No Leash? I thought I’d cast my vote in this debate (er, school of thought), since the first one is an [...]
How do you know you’re kookin’ out?
Let me tell you the ways.
A Kook’s Guide to: Not looking like a kook while walking up to your break
(Sorry Mr. Kook, I know that kookiness is your domain, but I had to do this subject - Feel free to put up any posts using the title “A Kook’s Guide to” if you want…)

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 [...]
The effect of women in the surfing lineup
I’m probably going to chatch sh!t from Hot Wahine or Julia is Stoked for this, but what-EEVVVer! Women, girls, female surfers, surfer chicks (or just surfers, I guess) in the lineup have an interesting effect on the lineup, largely because where I surf, for every girl, there are ten guys. The effect is that guys [...]
Top surfing misconceptions
Below is a list that I compiled that showcases many misconceptions that non-surfers make regarding surfing as a sport, surf culture, surfing gear, and other surfing related things. *sigh* If only they knew…
1. Surfing is easy! “All you do is stand up on a board!”
Which is all you really need to do [...]
Buena Onda
I just want to say how nice it is when there is a good vibe in the water. In Mexico, we call it “una buena onda.” You can call people or different things “buena onda” and even say it as a, “Thank you so much, you’re so sweet!” = “Gracias! Buena onda!” I forget sometimes [...]
Drunk at the Wavepool: Shots n Tubes
The mission:
Get hammered
Invade the wavepool
Tie up/Pay off/Enlist the power controller
Turn it on full blast
Charge it!
Yeah!
**I don’t know what’s up with the guy at the end.
Local Surfers You May Know
This is probably nothing new for you. I am sure you have a good idea of how you fit into your local break. People know your name and you know people’s names. Along with their basic CV of familial relations and work status, you have probably tried to put them in some category of surfer. [...]
A Kooks Guide to: Not looking like a kook while floating in the lineup
Disclaimer: This is a parody meant to be read by real surfers. But read this as if you were a clueless kook. That is the the only way that this post will be funny. You have been warned.
So, somehow, you make it into the lineup with that sorry duck-dive of yours and [...]
