Listen "Word of the week: Kooksplaining (because of course it is)"
Episode Synopsis
You’re paddling out, minding your own business, and then—bam—you get hit with a “friendly tip” you didn’t ask for. Sound familiar? In this episode, we dive into the world of kooksplaining—when someone (often a fellow beginner or self-appointed surf expert) dishes out unsolicited advice in the lineup or on the beach. We talk about where it shows up, why it’s especially common for women and beginners, and how to spot the difference between helpful guidance and just plain condescension. Come for the stories, stay for the solidarity. And remember: you’re allowed to learn, mess up, and surf without commentary.
