kook: A person posing as a surfer, or telling everyone that he can bust a
snap, bottom turn, or barrel when they can't. Does not know the proper surf terminology or vocab. Ie. uses terms that
don't make any sense
Non-kook: A person being honest about their surfing ability. Honestly expresses their surfing ability. Does NOT drop in on other surfers or
snake them. Follows the rules of the lineup.
Kook: "So yea, I was out busting some
gnarly pounders when this huge curler came through and swamped me. Lucky for me I just jumped on my board and threw a gnarly
air over the white wash without even trying. Hee hee hee."
Surfer: "Awww man. That last set was a clean out. I got
hit pretty bad. Damn thing held me down for a while.
Hey heres a good set. By the way you can bust a pretty solid snap on these. Not much force though. You have to really paddle for these."
OR
"Did you see that
air? I was worried that I was going to break my board that time. But this kook dropped in on me and freakin' nearly took my head off. It's all good but...
(kook now yelling at surfer to not drop in on him).
Surfer: "You dropped in on ME! I didn't drop in on you!
Kook: Yeah well, watch where you're going bro!
Surfer: "What a kook."
ETC.
