    Damn, that so rough...Hate to see such a terrible act claim a surfer's life. Thoughts go out to his family and friends who will bear the brunt of this tragedy.

    An off duty military police officer, high on crack? I'm not surprised about that happening in Brasil. I was warned to avoid police all together while I was there. They are known for making people disappear, particularly homeless folks. Indifference to human life is very common in Brasil, but when someone famous like Ricardo gets killed, it gets some notoriety.

    Medina does something great for Brasils reputation, and a crackhead cop, almost immediately, sh!ts on it. Lame.

    Condolences to Ricardo's family and friends.

    that's a damn tragedy. It's always crazy when one of these dudes dies, like Andy or Ricardo, because they seem so superhuman, the things they can do in the water.

    True, but it's strange in the least to describe them as similar; one man had his life ripped from him and the other burned it out himself...

    At least this young man lived his life to the fullest. Good on him for that.

    There is no respect for the sanctity of life anymore, it's not just Brazil or third world countries either. It's right here in the USA and many other countries.
    You make one comment that "disrepects" someone and your life could be taken in an instant.

    RIP Brother

    This is really sad. What a waste. What a great surfer. Why can't people just hash it out with their fists these days? This blows. Worst story in surfing in a long time. His poor family.....
