We'll never be cool as far as surfers are concerned. We're still the rollerbladers of the sea.

Surfers really aren't that cool in the scheme of things anyway... It's all about snowboarding and skating.

I would say boogyboarders are the rollerbladers of the sea, we are more the razor scooter of the sea.

Lostinlondon's Rules of Cool:

1. Calling yourself cool is NOT Cool
2. Discussing the nature of Cool is NOT Cool
3. As soon as the paper says something is Cool, it's no longer cool.

All these rules apply to everyone, except Dave Grohl...

Seabreeze does not condone the use of plumber's cracks, lighters in unventilated areas, c kites, 2 liners, jumping solid objects, or hitting the water after your kite does...

THEORIES OF COOL:

Cool as social distinction
According to this theory, cool is a zero sum game, in which cool exists only in comparison with things considered less cool. Illustrated in the book The Rebel Sell, cool is created out of a need for status and distinction. This creates a situation analogous to an arms race, in which cool is perpetuated by a collective action problem in society.[42]

Cool as an elusive essence
According to this theory, cool is a real, but unknowable property. Cool, like "Good", is a property that exists, but can only be sought after.[1] In the New Yorker article, "The Coolhunt",[43] cool is given three characteristics:

"The act of discovering what's cool is what causes cool to move on"
"Cool cannot be manufactured, only observed"
"[Cool] can only be observed by those who are themselves cool".

Homer: So, I realized that being with my family is more important than being cool.
Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool.
Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square".
Lisa: That song is so lame.
Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool, not caring, right?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried everything here.
Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you don't need to be told you're cool.
Bart: Well, sure you do.
Lisa: How else would you know?

the only thing good in ten4 is the fact they wear boots & Dre.
Kiting's got a long way to go still before its cool at least Hadlow and Len10 started wearing boots.
