What is a kook?

[Headhighandfuckemall]

I ask because the way the term is thrown around it seems to simply mean anyone that you dislike. If Kelly Slater burned you on a wave you could call him a kook and that would be perfectly acceptable. According to the Urban Dictionary, however, a kook is "most often used by aggro locals, to describe any surfers that: ... pretend like they can surf when, in reality, they suck-ass. don't follow the rules of the lineup. show up in the lot with a frappachino, excited about 2-footers."

I think the term should apply to:

1) Anyone on a softy.​

​

2) Any longboarder who goes straight and doesn't do any cool turns or hang-ten and stuff (I don't know longboarder lingo).​

​

3) Anyone on a kneeboard... is an enigma, because why?​

​

4) Anyone on a surf SUP without exception.​

if you have to ask you are probably a kook

Exactly, it’s merely a derogatory term that’s used pretty much indiscriminately.
