Agreed^^^ - he certainly put up a fight, that clip is from around 2008.
I wonder if this still goes on today, or things have changed for the better or worse ?

Unless some fully pro annual surf contest, everyone should ignore surf contests in my opinion. I've seen way too many good waves go to waste due to surf comps. They have permission to hold a contest, not own the break exclusivly, don't be fooled....get out there, challenge them. Show a little respect, sit wide & if a waves gonna go unridden....GO...

Barely a single brain cell among the bunch.

Wanna be surf gangsters can all go die in a fire.

TBH they were some of the nicest and fairest people i have ever surfed with..I was stunned. Yes i didn't surf the big name spots as it was huge. I saw one guy (boogie boarder) with his windscreen punched in, apparently he dropped in once at pipe then twice and was told off. Did it again and was sent to shore. One local followed and gave him a talking to. Upon the bloke driving out in his car he yelled some abuse, another local next to his car punched in his windscreen..SO three drop ins and mouth full i think the guy exactly what he deserved.

The point was he than had to drive around with a broken screen, no one on the island will fix it and everywhere he goes to surf, the local grape vine tells of his transgressions. All seems really fair to me

Ahhh yeah, true mate & I agree...I meant at your local break. I wouldn't do it if I was away from home. The frequency of surf comps run by local surf clubs can be unfair to everyone else sometimes. Last year was ok, but the year before was not. There were a lot of complaints which I think influenced how things went for last year.
