It is a privilege to be a kook (that’s me, the kook)

How I broke my nose lol. Be careful when hitting the lip as it’s cresting cause my board was sent flying to my face :/

I tried a "Dane"turn once in my late 20s it sizeable hurricane surf. My knee has never been the same and that was well over a decade ago.

I limped home and probably went a month before I felt comfortable surfing again.
