Workout KOOK Photo: Kook of the Day.
Kook of the Day is one of the best surfing Instagram account out there. It rarely showcases actual surfing, but man oh man does it make you laugh. It keeps surfing light, and it constantly reminds us that we really are not as cool as we sometimes make ourselves out to be.
This morning’s post from Kook of the Day is pure gold. The video features a clip of a die-hard surf fitness guru. While his feet are bound with an elastic workout band, he gracefully hops up, on, and around a stationary “surfboard.” Just when you think things can’t get kookier, they do, and he begins doing push ups on the “surfboard” and eventually practicing his popup. All of this is set against the scenic backdrop of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” and set to some classic, club-style, dubstep.
This quick clip reminds us to not take ourselves so seriously. It’s great to train hard, eat clean, and do what you can to surf your best. At the end of the day though, surfing is best left in the water, and when we take surf-style training a little too literally, the results are pretty damn funny.
Also, in case your computer is a kook (like mine), here is the link to the original video if you can’t view the one above.
