smnmntl wrote:Pulling back from a no-hoper too late & going over the falls sitting on your board takes some beating for kookiness. Come on, you know you've all done it. Apart from that, my most excruciating moments:

1: First day ever on a board, I'm like 11 years old or so. Kiddies Corner at Palmy - where else? Take off in the white water, struggle to my feet, wobble along completely out of control, run into a girl who's a few years older than me. She abuses the shit out of me, then leaves the water. Later, when I've had enough and hit the beach, she's sitting there with about 20 friends, and I hear her say "there he is...". Next thing I'm walking back to my friend's parents' car, with a large crowd of older kids following me, all chucking chips & Coke cans and yelling "westie... kook.... fk off.... dickhead.... wanker..." etc etc. Attracting lots of attention, heads are turning all along the beach and people are laughing. It was about a mile back to the car, and they followed me all the way. I guess I deserved it for being such a KOOK.

2: Scotland, early 1990s. Three of us walking across a field in our steamers & booties, to get from the road to the surf. Bunch of people watching from a picnic area, real curious because they said they'd never seen anyone surf before, so we've got an audience & feeling like we're pretty shit hot. Get to a wire fence, swing one leg over. Hello, it's an electric fence. For about half a second I'm straddling it with my balls on the wire. Next thing I'm on the other side, arms & legs & board everywhere, lying in a patch of thistles. Hysterical laughter from the audience in the picnic area. KOOK.

3: Rode a lid once. KOOK x 100
GAY.

Taking this board out this morning. It's 5"7' x 19 1/2 x 2 3/4, 4 channel bottom thruster thats probably as old as me ( 26, i've had it for at least 12 years in the shed ). It got ripped off the car by a passing semi, got damaged, and just now i decided to bodgy it up and try to ride it. I usually ride a 7"6' minimal, and not all that great either hahah!. So, yeah, i paddled around looking a bit silly this morning!!

Passed a swim shop and they were selling a Speedo full face bathing cap-balaclava type thing which I thought would be pretty cool for open-eyed bodysurfing. Wrestled the thing on and must have looked like Spiderman on a bad trip, scaring the s... out of a few guys on the shorey as I swam out. Actually worked pretty well on the first wave but on the second I did a barrell roll and the thing ripped off. 65 bucks down the drain. Never bothered to wait and see if it drifted in

I've walked down to the waters edge and casually pushed the nose of my board into the sand while doin' up my leggy, only to have the nose snap off about 6 inches down the board.



Didn't I look cool......

You said it.

But pete... let me offer you some advice on witty comebacks. When someone posts a wry, self-deprecating story about how they once acted, like, totally gay, then posting a reply that says GAY is redundant. And retarded.
it was in reference of the WHOLE comment you posted not for being a kook but for just being a homo.simple.

I was was going to teach a friend to surf and i wasnt much of a surfer but think that mattered, i had two boards so we were just going to muck around. We got out of a car and being the idiot i am i thought it'd be a great idea to rest the two boards (both mine) up against the car. i tripped, knocked one which knocked the other and they all crashed fantastically and i had to get two glassed in fis replaced off one - not cool for a 13 yr old with not much money - an fcs fin from the other, as well as fix a few dings. needless to say we didnt get to surf but i have never again rested a board up agasint something.

Got to Yamba one arvo with a mate. Had a surf followed by a session on the piss at the pub. Staggered out of the pub and drove down the hill near Turners beach for a smoke. Windows were down and the mozzies were just killing us so I sprayed aeroguard around to kill the little bastards. The aeroguard was getting too much so I turn on the fan and then we be crash out in the front seat to awake next morning with a flat battery. The NRMA (it pays to belong) turn up next day and we get the car going. Later on I lock my keys in the car at the same spot and the NRMA guy turns up again to get us out of the shit again. Wonder what he was thinking.

:oops: two for you:

• water taxi across to Box Head with car key stowed in legrope pocket. Chuck board in water only to notice that the key flap looked like it just might have been open - it was... luckily the old VL was easy to get the back open and a hasty call to she who must be obeyed, “darling...”

• lowtide at the Bower, go to launch into water - boing - legrope around rock and face plant into shallow water... :D

Actually, talking of Box Head, i once motored out to Boxy with a brand new anchor on board my boat. We decided that our spot was safe enough to moor and, in my excitement, threw the anchor overboard before tying it on to the rope.

Ah, the legrope faceplant! Brings back (not so) fond memories. :lol:

Last year, rocking off at DY point. High Tide. Set comes. Whole platform is awash. I see my moment to scramble across and ... promptly step in one of those damn holes, both legs up to the knee.

No real damage done to board (whew), but lost some bark off my shin which later got infected, and the main knuckle on the big toe on my lead foot had this bloody big swollen lump for about six months that hurt like blazes whenever I caught my toe on the deck of the board gettin up.

Arrgh! Then I go to see the doctor, and she pulls out this whopping great horse needle and Smack! jabs it into the lump! :shock: Knuckles go white. Between grittted teeth I quietly ask "Errngh, What is that for?"

"Oh, I thought there might be some, you know, material in there we could draw out."

"And is there?"

"No."

"Hnnnnggggggh!!" :evil:
