SUPs are the cause of all tension in the lineup.
« on: October 22, 2014, 04:39:57 PM »
Proners get along with each other fine.  It's those stupid SUPs, sweepers, oarons that cause all the problems in the lineup.   If you don't believe me, watch this vid showing the true "aloha" spirit between prone surfers.  Warms your heart, doesn't it?

That makes it four guys that have an idea how to fight and that need a good lawyer after been filmed.
Punching an opponent on the ground or applying a rear naked choke are both illegal (outside ring or cage) not to say lacking the basic sportsmanship.
Not sure if this has much to do with surfing as I am sure that many sports could have this kind of happenings.

In that last fight Kala Alexander beats up an already beat up (by Kianoa McGee) haole from Texas.
Lots of video... but any charges?
Not on the North Shore.

But does Kala want haoles to buy his signature stand up boards?
You bet.

It is still two home boy burly guys beating-up a lonely skinny guy in their own backyard - not much challenge in that and difficult to gather much sympathy from my point of view...

Rear naked chokes are illegal? 

They are done all the time in martial arts and it's arguably a more humane way to control someone than kicking or punching them....Hell, I missed first place in a recent jiujitsu tournament because I stupidly allowed myself to get put in one and then I defended, spending the dwindling seconds on the clock struggling to get out and ultimately losing on points.  But i was none the worse for the wear.

Are they in some special category outside the normal assault and battery menu?

Regardind lacking basic sportsmanship:  It's a valid and humane control measure in a fight, a place where basic sportsmanship could get you killed.

Not sure why you're playing the race card on this one.  What this abbreviated video doesn't show, is that the Haole guy refused to leave the closed (for surf contest) surf break. That's why the Ski-Doo is present. The Locals were upholding the 'rules'.
Act like a jerk (North Shore or anywhere else), and expect to pay the price.

Sick and tired of hearing about the race card.  Shove a cop, expect to get shot--I don't care if you're white/black/purple.

not knowing all of what caused the beat downs it just seemed to me like a lot of big guys  beating up on smaller guys.  Once the guy is down  why keep pounding on him.   it might be a different story if  the small guy is a martial arts expert  say bruce lee  it might be different

I hope you were not talking to me, Ralph.  This thread was offered as a joke.

i got the joke--but wow was it a disturbing watch.

i have never seen a full-blown shit beating ever around surfing--seen some posturing pushing shoving but never like this

guess im lucky

couple of these guy were at least close to requiring hospitalization, if not pretty damaged

for a drop in?? or some other relatively minor affront. sorry that's nuts
