Local warns “La Jolla Kooks” against coming north to surf a fat San Clemente burger

"Threatening death with a knife to those that are not as good as you is not cool."

Arms have been taken up, proverbially, this morning after a man who appears to be a San Clemente local warns those who call La Jolla home against coming north to surf a chonky burger called 204/5s. The initial bit of the clip focuses on a younger man initially sporting a pony tail wading into the warm waters with what appears to be a full deck-tractioned mini egg. The San Clemente local declares that he, the surfer, is from Windansea and named “Jake the Snake,” though does not provide evidence.

The local is passive-aggressively frustrated at the incursion, eventually declaring that Jake the Snake is “a good guy” while filming others dropping down gentle slopes once again mentions Jake and how he should go back to La Jolla before pivoting to “just kidding” at the end.

Those in the comments, maybe from La Jolla (?), were not happy.

A sampling:

“Surfers are supposed to be cool. Threatening death with a knife to those that are not as good as you is not cool. Check yourself.”

“Why I learned to hate surfing. Waaaay too much hate. It’s not yours, it is everyone’s.”

“Claiming 205s is like thinking the stripper wants to sleep with you. Whose the kook?”

“I’ve always felt that as long as you know basic surf etiquette, don’t snake waves, and respect other surfers that surf there everyday, you should be fine to surf anywhere.”

“Being overly protective of dog shit must be exhausting.”

“A lot of hate in the surf.”

“You can’t talk shit and then say 205’s.”

“surfers the cyclists of the sea.”

Etc.

But do you surf a wave that is less-than-critical yet feel wildly protective over it?

Me too.
