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

Surfing

Shakas

Driving down the highway the other day, early in the morning, I had my surfboards strapped to my surfmobile, looking for surf on what was promising to be a totally fat totally flat day. Passing me was some guys with shiz-eating grins, with a pink and blue softboard on their roof. The passenger sent me a shaka. Ok, fine. Kooky, yes, and it was a bit awkward as I…errr…waved at them. I just felt a bit weird sending them shakas back. But then, I ended up having a fantastic session - I mean - awesome where I just felt great. And so, on my way back, probably because I was totally surfed out, hadn’t eaten breakfast, had a coffee, I was sending everyone - everyone - shakas. Dude on the bike with his stick? Shaka. Old guy headed to the break? Shaka. Is that inapporpriate? Somedays I feel weird - by shaka-ing people. I’m not, afterall, Hawaiian, and I am, afterall, Mr. Kook. What do you think? Stop now?

As always, don’t drop in.

  1. It’s not very nice or funny to make fun of heavy people at all. People having feelings you know!
