2. The Problem
“You know what I hate about summer? Too
many fucking kooks.”
- @chuckdeuce
3. “Kook”
• “A kook is a poser who turns up in the beach car park wearing a top of the
range wetsuit and carrying a spanking new surfboard, checks the surf for an
hour before actually going in, when it is so obviously pumping, then when he
enters the water proceeds to splash around like a drowning rabbit. tip stay
at home” - Urban Dictionary
• Anecdotally: any non-local visiting or living in Santa Cruz who causes bad
traffic, fills up the beaches, drives up the cost of living, is a dick to local
service workers, throws parties with shitty beer, has only visible tats,
commutes to San Jose, attends UCSC, has lots of money, and/or is otherwise
not a local.
