KookCast: Surf Education

Coach Chris and Coach Evan checking in with a kooky story, sharing a short little piece of inspiration for anyone who feels stuck in the doldrums, a discussion about a clip seen on Instagram of one surfer burning another in retaliation for serial back paddling, and a last clip of a group of kids surfing random pieces of wood. Just goes to show what your coaches always preach...it's not the board.

This week on KookCast the bulk of this episode entails Coach Chris and Coach Ev enjoying the memories that came from Coach Evan's bachelor party weekend with all his closest friends. Additionally we take a look at a recent clip that hit the gram featuring one of the oceans most graceful, yet fiercest creatures...the great white. And it was filmed in none other than one of our home bases, Montauk, NY.

In this episode of KookCast we're sharing a personal story about getting burned and how that sucks even for the best of us. We also share some clips and a discussion about how fear, even hesitation is the worst ingredient for catching a waves.

In this episode of KookCast, Coach Chris and Coach Evan are taking a look at a wave where both Coach Chris and a student are taking off.
