B-grade pro'z giving props!

Figures.

 

[Aruka]

I dunno if I would call him b grade. I think he is one of the better non competitive surfers in the world.

Pretty dicey move though.

So cool for the gram tho! Look at me!

non story

The comments on the Instagram post by people purporting to be surf coaches and surf school instructors are just mind boggling. The buoy on the fun/long board had no business even paddling out into that lineup in the first place based on his obvious lack of ability and common sense. Kooks like that need to go off on their own so they don't get in the way.

 

[bluengreen]

yes, and you don't hold your line and ollie over someone's head.

Uhh... would this be similar to people who post incessantly on internet message boards? I dunno.

He did bunny hop the kook instead of spearing him, and maybe he was trying to teach other people.

Kook A had no business being in the water.

Kook B saw Kook A and but still decided he'd roll the dice and go for it.

I am so outraged.

You must have been watching a different video than I did. There is only one kook in the video I watched and that is the guy who made no effort to stay and get out of the way. I mean WTF????? The only possible excuse for the longboard kook would be if he has some sort of vision malady that he only has tunnel vision. People like this have no business being around other surfers where they could cause a collision.

I'd also be real curious what break this happened at.

Kook or not, it was dangerous and unnecessary.

I don't view it that way. The guy who got run over is 100% at fault. This isn't even an 80% 20% situation. That guy is 100% at fault. Like standing on the side of a busy highway then darting out into traffic and expecting not to get hit by an unsuspecting driver and then blaming the driver who runs you over. If you don't have a clue of the most basic rules of the road you don't belong paddling out among other surfers.

Even dumber and douchier than your political takes.

Right.

Because one happened to make contact there's no similarity between the two incidents.

agreed - but if you can avoid someone w/o much effort than you try an avoid them. Evan didnt have any where else to go but up an over him. would be good to see a longer clip to see if Evan spotted him earlier or if he was unaware the kook was there at all.

Punishment for being a kook should be getting your head smashed by an InstaPro.
