What is much rumor going down. TJ Barron beat up Makua Rothman. Eddie Rothman show up with gang at Billabong house party and beat down TJ and execs from Billabong. Local brahs tell Bong to hurry up and run contest and then to fold tent and leave town. Under threat from locals, Bong runs contest on final day to hurry and finish so they can leave town with tail between legs. All local brahs in Pipe get $7,000 taken away from them by Billabong. Now more threat going around in pro industry trying to keep people from talking. Not very aloha. Da hui untouchable by cops because they fed informants. I dont know what true here, but not aloha at all.
This thread deserves a giant obnoxious yaaaaawn.......zzz.zzz.zzz Also some proper english would help too.
those dudes dont play nice, gotta be keen on who not to eff with edit: someone just posted an urban dictionary link to da hui pretty funny

"a family(ohana) of Hard Core Surf Punks who will KICK YOUR ASS and bury you in a cane field if you f*** with them or any one of their relatives. They are from the North Shore of Oahu aka "The Black Shorts" dont ever mess with da hui man they will string you up by your macadamia nuts."
it won't be on any surf source since they are trying not to make it public this blog, http://blog.demonfactory.com/ some dude from the north shore tells some off the record stories, I don't know if its true but they are interesting (obviously some stories in thee are jokes, but some talking about Parko last year at the triple crown and gabs mendia I believe are real). I heard about this fight somewhere else, I think in the stabmag.com comments from some article about the pipemasters. Interesting, indeed.
this day and age, it is almost impossible to keep stuff like this under wrap, with social media, forums, blogs.. It made it on the Swellinfo forum, so I bet we will hear more info on this soon.
There might be something about it on Twitter. It's funny too because most people don't know that Eddie Rothman is really a haole from the mainland. He was born in Bellflower,CA. And, didn't move to Hawaii until his late teens. He isn't even Hawaiian....he's Jewish. Eddie Rothman couldn't of started Da Hui. He doesn't have enough triangles. ^^ my new sig
And all of those "Brahs" get run out of california when they come out here. Rumor has it that Gerry Lopez and Sunny Garcia got run out of La Jolla and all of SD county about 10 years ago. The rumor was that Sunny got beat down on CA soil.... The rothman clan is nothing but a bunch of Meth Peddling Fed Rats.... If they lived on the mainland, street justice would take care of them.... Shame on Billabong if they listened to these cowards at all... I mean, its 2011. A simple call to the cops would have halted the whole thing... I dont believe that Billabong did anything to leave town. They probably laughed at them.... I mean seriously... what are they going to do? NOTHING. I have had nothing but great times in Hawaii, but I can't remember ANYONE in modern pro surfing from Hawaii that represents this whole "Aloha" thing... From Sunny, to Andy, to Bruce, to Freddy... I mean, none of them act the way I believe they should publicly... They give HI a bad name.... I am just saying, give me 10 guys from Jersey in a fist fight, or all those herbs from the rothman clan, I would take Jersey every time... Its not the 50s. This is not the outsiders novel. I mean, what to they show up to the billabong house with siwtch blades?
lol...hilarious! One of my favorite all time movies. I heard none of the wild cards got paid as Da Hui withheld payments. And, don't know how true it is but rumor has it that the Hawaiians are trying to secede from the United States because of this whole thing. On a side note, when I was in Hawaii last year....I as well had nothing but great times. I was blessed to visit Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Lanai. Never once had an issue. I don't know if Hawaii can secede or not. But, it sucks they are trying to accomplish this.
Seems like Linsey Lohan was involved some how LOL Surfer mag thread about this fight was deleted??? wtf everyone seems to be scared to be associated with this thing..
