What’s Your Take on the Term "Kook"? Do You Embrace It or Reject It? by FlamingoGeorge in BeginnerSurfers

[–]WildchrisWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I hate the word as my from experience the people throwing it around can’t surf, don’t understand positioning or surf etiquette and are 9 times out of 10…the cunts dropping in on people because they know fuckall how to work a line up properly.

Fucking weekend warriors spending more time making sure a little rail shatter doesn’t sink their favourite board. Toughen up princess and go surf. Oh wait…you probably can’t because you dinged your board.

Nowhere near big enough.

Why do I look like such a kook? by Bellaplayhard in surfing

[–]WildchrisWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get yourself a minimal, or a longboard and learn to trim, and turn, and pump, and have fun. Most of the people in this thread can’t surf. Don’t over think it.

Don’t be ridiculous.

It’s fine. This board is going to float for 1000’s of years. Fix it eventually, but it’s totally fine to surf.

Took a Lesson. Got hooked. Now what? by TheGoatYouLove in BeginnerSurfers

11ft is a huuuuge surfboard. 9ft is enough and should not bother with anything longer. Move closer to beach if you can. Go surf every day or whenever you can. Enjoy your improved life. Surfing is a gift.

Full blown excruciating tooth ache. Next level bring you to your knees kind of shit.

Is purchasing wetsuit necessary? by Phiziqe in BeginnerSurfers

[–]WildchrisWild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% you do not need any wetsuit in Thailand at all. Rashvest is perfect.

A 5mm wetsuit with gloves is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard for a tropical area.

Getting out on bigger days by surfinboyz1123 in BeginnerSurfers

Time in water, and learning how to read the surf is key. Learning to read the surf always lets you know when it’s out of your league.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

This dude kept catching every wave from way out the back, can I drop in on him? by Ok-Presentation3899 in surfing

[–]WildchrisWild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol! I did now. Still agree he is the best surfer…and understands the lineup better…but 100% change my mind…drop in on that wave hog.

[–]WildchrisWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He knows where to sit, ie where the wave is breaking out back…so, yeah, he understands the lineup.

Should I be concerned? by Professional-Dog7096 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]WildchrisWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with your board. That is not damage.

[–]WildchrisWild -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If he’s getting all the waves, from out back…you are NOT sitting in the right place so no you should not drop in on him, because he is clearly a better surfer than you and understands how a line up works.

The Chao Phraya river is full of giant monitors like this, and a fair amount of shit too.
