Saw a kid get his nose broken one time back in the eighties and get this it really was at Belmar. Back in the seventies in the keansburg area of NJ you had to fight to survive, it was a jungle back then. Even with all that street fighting I never came to blows in the water. I've had shouting matches, I have told large numbers of people to f-off while in the water but most didnt want to fight any more than I did. Everyone should be ready and able to fight to defend themselves but barring an attack it's not worth the trouble.
Same sizzle my nizzle. @Metard. Work eat sleep repeat. With alittle moto on the weekends with my sons. I speak from real experience on this topic. I had a heater of a scrap last year. The guy went to the ICU and I went to the holding tank. We just settled out now and 20k later it's in the past. That was the most stressful and unnesscary thing that ever happened to me. One thing I can say is if the fight is unavoidable just don't win. The winner is the Loser in the long run now adays. The fear of prison and the fines plus lawyer fees hammers you. Best to just smile and wave good by in any conflict. Also I live in a straight up yuppy town and the rumors that these fembots come up with is unreal. Peace Be With US ALL
...I'd add...fight for your property, too. When I saw that guy on my board, I called him out of the water. He paddled in and actually came at me! And I'll tell ya, it felt good to make that situation right. Another time I had my bike stolen. I saw a guy riding it, and he was coming right toward me. I grabbed him and pulled him off my bike and he started crapping himself... "what?! what?!..." he totally didn't understand why I was about to maul him. I'm like, "you stole my bike!" He's like..."no! I swear! I just bought it off a guy for 20 bucks!" I pulled out 20 bucks and took my bike back.
Did you get sued? Was the $20k in legal beagle fees or fines of both...? America the Litigious: if you have worked for your assets, they want you to give them to them.
All that sh!t combined! Coulda went to Figi for a month! Plus no alcohol or 420 for three years. I gotta say I'm alittle over 6months clean and it feels damn good!
Good points cep. Once you open Pandora's box, there is no telling what pops out. Best to leave the lid closed tight.
Slight derail here... I had a bat sh!t crazy student once... Her mother's name was Pandora... Every time I saw here I thought, "This came out of Pandora's box..."
Never had a fight on the beach, however a few years ago some butthurt redneck sucker punched me in a parking lot while I was trying to get in my car. He said I was talking shlt to his friend? I probably was.... Anyway, I can only remember the first hit which was weak as hell and I guess the second one connected. It broke my nose pretty bad and knocked me out. I went after that mf'er with the full force of the law and got $10k out of him and now hes on supervised probation for 5 years. Wish I could have sent that fukoff to prison. You truly have to be a fuking retard to ball up your hand and swing it at someone in 2017.
Let's change tack here for a sec: Would getting cut off on a perfect Honolua wall be worth swinging for?
not to me KR if I did that, then I might reduce my chances of getting another one I will jaw and call a snake a snake, but wont take first swing, would defend myself tho aside, I think if you get burned in HI at big name spots and dont do something about it, everyone will just label you burnable
These days that's how you get shot dead or go to prison: club fights, parking lots, guns in cars, friends, phone cameras. No bueno The damn pool bar I used to hang out at by the beach got so full of idiots, I never go there anymore ever. Even in broad daylight. Bad mojo or something. My luck some senior citizen biker war vet would shoot me, or stumble over and bleed out on the pool deck, either way I'm screwed. If I'm drinking under an umbrella on the beach after a water session, life is pura vida. No worries
