If you touched a basketball at any point in your childhood, you played the game of H.O.R.S.E. It was simple fun that could kill hours upon hours before a time when kids had tablets or their parents’ smartphones surgically attached to their hands. The game is so universal it’s safe to assume you know the rules: make a shot and your opponent has to successfully make the same shot. If they fail, they get a letter. Keep doing this until somebody spells out HORSE and that somebody is the loser whom you’ll tease and ridicule for the entirety of your childhood.
Here are Beyrick De Vries and Shane Sykes playing K.O.O.K, surfing’s adapted version of the same game and a new web series that will feature surfers attempting to one-up each other and avoid being the kook. Because nobody wants to be a kook…even though we all are.
Here are your official rules:
– Two surfers take each other on.
– A game of rock, paper, scissors determines who sets the first challenge.
– The next person sets the next trick.
– If you fail to do the challenge you get a letter.
– If you both fail then you both get a letter.
– If you both achieve the challenge then whoever does the weakest / lamest attempt gets the letter.
– Only 2 attempts per challenge.
– If it’s a tie break on the final ‘K’, the first person to complete the trick is the winner.
– First person to K.O.O.K is the looser
