There are only about 20% of long boarders that aren't kooks.
It's a bit like the over 40's mid life crisis Harley Davidson Syndrome. You've just got to surf around them like its a slalom course.
I find the young guys that snake you much more of a problem.
They choose not to Short board because they're gutless.
This is a very broad observation and my apologies to all the legitimate long boarders but you've got to pay your dues and a large percentage of guys out in the water just haven't.
In the end you've just got to deal with it and move on. My personal hate is those guys that go right on lefts and vice a versa.
