The inertia's "Where do Kooks come from?" brought me here.

[@KooksandTigers]

Yeah great article 👍very deep analysis of my life including my mascara lol

[@dantakeoff]

Dont let it bother you, we can all see who the real kook is in that article xd_@@KooksandTigers

[@geezersurf]

You go girl. Congradulations on achieving your goal of surfing big waves. Now you know what a heavy wipe out is all about.

[@michaelshanahan2844]

No business being out there She will put other people in danger with her lack of skills

[@kapunas]

For real! I mean, where's she going to go next, Pe'ahi or Mavericks to endanger herself and all the others out there?

[@KooksandTigers]

how exactly are people put in danger here?

[@michaelshanahan2844]

@KooksandTigers First of all the driver of the ski. He knows she hasn't got the skill set to save her self.

[@KooksandTigers]

@@michaelshanahan2844 I'm sorry, are you a big wave surfer or judge or a lifeguard? Because I am not sure how you can tell if I'm capable of saving myself or not in a situation like that. How accurate is the data you're basing your assumptions on? You're aware of my skills?

[@TheDieterlehmann]

Absolutely ate it, but super work done by the rescue team. Awesome experience on a small day!!

[@tobycunningham560]

Nice footage Tim!

[@KooksandTigers]

Thank you for capturing these moments! 🙏✨

[@Killemgrillem00]

She's maybe like the climbers ascending Mt Everest you just have to pay without having the real ability. But way kudo's on her waves.

[@KooksandTigers]

Thank you. I've been training for this trip for years. Not 10 but 3 years of full time training to prepare to tow & paddle on small days I don't see a problem here

[@ianrawlings2546]

Not really a place for tourists/amateurs.

[@Arghyrou123]

Yup but if she can afford it and is willing to put her life on the line then fair play. Dont be salty. We’d all do the same if we could.

[@kapunas]

Big difference between courage and stupidity. Seriously, no kooks aloud. Trying to save your life bra, glad she was ok..

[@GuapLord5000]

@@kapunas Dunning-Kruger effect. She doesn't have enough experience to know what she's getting into and the thousand ways it could go wrong for her and everyone around her.

[@jamisonatanasoff3890]

Nothing beats first hand experience

[@pcarrenom1234]

Wow!!! this is amazing! so much respect! im gonna be there one day too :)

[@KooksandTigers]

Thank you! 🙏✨

[@scottlambert6081]

Tim did a great bird's eye view of outlining her experience. Ballsy effort on her behalf, good on her in having a go ! Maybe have been slightly premature in her ascendancy in surfing Nazare, but 10 points for effort !

[@KooksandTigers]

Yes absolutely so happy Tim has captured that, all his footage is amazing

[@AndrewMitchell001]

Imagine the wipeout on a proper huge Nazare wave then that was a baby wave.

[@KooksandTigers]

yeah maybe it's ok to surf baby waves if it's my first time. What's the problem with that?

[@AndrewMitchell001]

@@KooksandTigers You maybe misunderstood my comment I wasn't making fun of you I meant imagine what its like to wipeout on a 70 footer its a generalized comment

[@alanmackillop1595]

Hilarious, especially when you can see a guy PADDLING in BEHIND her. I mean, I guess she at least went for it, but really should not be out there, if for no other reason than endangering everyone else out there.

[@JacuzziSurfer]

Hell yea! That chick has the right idea! Quit working, chase waves!

[@KooksandTigers]

Lol yeah but struggling to pay rent a bit. Other than that all good :D

[@seancallahan1312]

If you can't swim out of it without assistance or flotation even once? I recommend free-diving and that big-wave safety course they have now. Work your way up the ladder. Glad she's ok.

[@sam57890]

Shes awesome! What cool story she has too.

[@KooksandTigers]

Thanks so much! 🙏😊✨

[@MightManchild]

Wow! Massive respect!! 🫡

[@KooksandTigers]

thank you! 🙏✨

[@CAB1701]

she's Russian & Flyin 👏👏

[@RockStorePhotos]

Sorry. Lost me at "Vell I'm from Raasha."

[@KooksandTigers]

Sorry. Can't choose where to be born. If we could choose - WHO would ever choose Russia?!

[@JacuzziSurfer]

Yew she’s killin it! 🤠

[@KooksandTigers]

thank you🙏✨

[@ActiveEnglishNow]

I love this video and she is a great character. I tip my hat to her !

[@KooksandTigers]

Thanks so much! 🙏✨

Thank you for everything you do for surfing ❤

[@Leadership_matters]

I have such mixed feelings. On one side, "yah go big!". And on the other side, "i think I saw this movie. Was she the arizona state surfing champ?"

[@curtisautenrieth3342]

How’s that jet pack

[@adzoutnabout8666]

She has saltwater in her lungs…. Not good

[@BrooksTownsley]

It probably be more prudent if she knew how to surf before she tried this

Nonsense. Fake video. Where is the can of coke for the marketing?

[@KooksandTigers]

What's fake in it? :D

[@joelcorral2475]

What the frick? This is what's wrong with surfing these days...
