yeh dont know the full story, but yeh Big tough guy that seppo Garcia, kid looks half his weight, what a cat.

Karma will deal with Mr. Garcia, It always does! Go back and watch "Feel Good Friday" Remember you don't have to be a Hawaiian to have " The Aloha" spirit and you dont have to be a non surfer to be an aggro wanker. There may be two sides to the story, but as I have said in this forum before violence is never the answer. He is guilty of assault and there is video footage of him in the act. The umbrella of protecting your kid does not spread does to nearly killing some one else's.

So what exactly has the "spirit of aloha" got to do with it ?

on the plus side Taj wins go Taj

Great win for Taj, hope he steps it up this year.

I was kind of dissapointed as I was sure it was going to be a good year for Flores. He is on my Fantasy Surfer team. I hope this incident doesnt knock him off his roll.

I am hoping Kelly retires so it comes back to a Mick, Parko, Taj, Jordy chase for the title. As long as Kelly is around and wanting to win he will and those guys will battle for 2nd.

Nothing to do with Aloha.

Pro surfers and supposedly role models, competing in another country. They should have simply walked away, no matter who was involved and what was right and wrong. I agree that sometimes violence is unavoidable, but from Flores statement to the media and the fact Garcia ran 100m to get to the incident, this would seem to have been avoidable.

What a disgrace. I am once more dissappointed but not surprised that the asp has not issued a statement yet on this subject matter. They really are a useless organization. Not too mention I just did a quick check if the Aussie surf mag websites and it's only mentioned on one. Seems every time there is an incident they run for cover so as to protect their own....its time they grew up. Act tough and stop all this crap - get on the front foot and show the younger folk coming through that violence is not the way forward. ITs not a solution.

As I recall the Frenchman is the same one who called the judges racist last year after getting knocked out of the quicksilver pro....it would appear from eye witness reports that he was keen to start things off on Friday. Send him home.

Oliver,
You live in Melbourne and your putting sh_t on Adelaide? Ha ha

Flores is out of the quick pro and Garcia from surfest. They will both also face an ASP disciplinary committee for further sanctions.

On a side note there is a really funny video on vimeo of Flores not signing an autograph for a kid, think it was a hoax but it is pretty funny.

Drinking again Oliver?

Violence between humans is unfortunate and unavoidable. I'd just hope it's kept in places like around Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Chechnya, Pakistan, Moe, Adelaide and well away from my life.

About 8 or so years ago I spent a few months working in Moe... very interesting few months.

I dont even know where moe is....

Oliver,
Beat this>
Coopers Pale Ale
Farmers Union Iced Coffee

You say MCC and I will piss myself.....

Interesting...

Settling a disagreement / teaching someone some respect / standing up for yourself face to face (using force) = NOT COOL

Bagging someone out on an internet forum (eg. the Guy Andrews thread, and Sunny & Flores) = OK

I love the Utopia for which you live.

PS. From what I've heard the guy that got dusted wasn't a kid, he's about 25.

Totally agree WTF does have to do with what happened.Bad title for this video Definetly not a supporter of what happened but lets stick to the facts.

Welcome to Burleigh Heads...... the word Aloha doesn't exist there.

The footage on Channel Neign or is that Channel Eddie had a guy with a sup nearby pushing out through the shorebreak, hope he wasn't involved but at least he had a ringside seat where was Jack Whathisface and he could have said Book'em Dano!
