SouLoc sat down with Victoria Skimboards/Freak Deck team rider Hunter Poller to discuss how you can spot a kook at your local beach. Although some of these pointers may only pertain to Laguna, many are universal at any beach.
1.Puka shell necklace....chances are the guy is not very common in these parts.
2.Boardshorts over their fullsuit...WTF!?!
3.Rolls up to beach with or seen hanging out and stone cold chillin' with a rash guard on.....it's now "cool" for MMA fighters to train in these but hang out and relax in one? C'mon!
4.Tells you 10th street sider is firing in the middle of January...Where dude? Inside the cave?
5. Rolls to the beach with a skim, boogie, 8 other dudes and no chicks....at least bring some girls for us to look at if you're going to be a traitor (ok, I admit once in a blue moon I will sponge, but thats when I borrow a board from someone on the beach because its just one of those fun days)
6. Walks up to you and asks if thats a "surfboard" or a "wakeboard." You politely reply "It's a skimboard" and they say "SkiNboard eh?, never heard of that before."
7. Graffiti's up your beach area or stairs with the wackest style...just walk down West St. stairs and you'll see what we mean.
8. Leaves trash on the beach...you're obviously a kook if you do this
9. Does not have the slightest clue as to what skim etiquette is...
10. Cuts off and collides with legends like Tex or Hende and has no idea who they are....
next time...top misconceptions assumed by WC riders about EC riders with Joey V.
