The whole thing is embarrassing for me and i'm not even involved. It looks like they do touch, and by 2018 definitions it is clearly attempted murder
Looked like normal kookery to me, where’s this vicious assault / battery? Wtf has this world come to?
Man it has been years (maybe a decade) since I paddled out to 1st street jetty. 1. It's knee high. I have shortboarder DNA and never would go out there and try to paddle under 25 LBers to scrap for that shit. 2. That said, and even though the LBer was up and riding, that guy should get one slap for even bringing a case...
Careful dude you might get arrested at work for saying that. If that LB'er was on SI we would all be locked up by now.
This is why we need more wave pools. Stuff like this never happens at the wave ranch I bet! And if it does, they could create a little MMA dojo for people to "experience real surf rage" in the confines of a padded room.
Should be a non-event. But it's the world, or country, we live in and certainly not restricted to VB.
Hey, what's going on here? My comment was silently removed from this discussion. No infraction notice from Mr Moderator or anything, just gone. Have you guys really given the moderators that kind of power? To just selectively remove posts without saying anything about it? You know, there was a time when this place was great because the content was largely unregulated. We talked about kooks and tourists and the like, and we all had a good time. It didn't become the Anarchist's cookbook or anything like that. Surfers are a unique bunch. This was a place where people could talk-the-talk with each other, make stupid jokes, and banter with each other at no consequence. Like, where's yankee? I owe that guy a cold one. Good times. I love to make a buck like the next guy, but I hope it's obvious that what has happened here is the direct result of capitalism. Mr swellinfo gets enough ad traffic (FROM US, MIND YOU) and suddenly he can bring in some more pricey advertisers. These advertisers require you to regulate the content and moderate anything that would possibly put out a negative message associated with their product, or in general, the entire sport of surfing. The result is instant shadow moderation of anything that doesn't paint a pretty picture for tourists to buy hotel rooms and spend all of their money on new cars or whatever advertisement is plastered across each page on this website. I don't know because I use adblock plus... but we won't go there. Anyhow, I hope we do get some action out of this swell. I'd love a shot at another run of surf before the spring breakers show up. I'm still down for Jager bombs though. JAGER BOMB! Yankee let's have some Jager bombs on me with the college kids. It'll be fun. Will anyone even read this other than the moderator? Will the moderator even read it? Or will it just get automatically deleted because I used the wrong key word? Ok boys. Cheers. Keep going surfing.
^^Not gonna do the whole quote thing Lee, but it's not just capitalism; it's fascism which is all the rage these days. Glad your still around...
