Oooooooooooooooooooooo have I got a good one for you today. Today the Rockstar Super tour went under way. Waves started off at 4-6ft with sick pits to be had at backdoor and Pipe. Well the second heat paddled out to an intruder from California. This barn dog of a surfer paddled out to backdoor pipe and thought its cool I can just burn the body boarders in their contest area. Well after 4 stern warnings from the Hawaii Water Patrol (these are big scary guys who would intimidate anyone) Kainoa Mcgee decided to paddle out and remove him from the line up. At this stage you would have thought I don't want to die so I will get out. After Kainoa asked him to kindly get out the water, he supposedly told Kainoa to get f@#$%! And as Kainoa paddled toward him the surfer swings and connects him on the side of his head hard. So Kainoa losses it and starts laying into him about 8 shots to the mouth. A wave came and forced the surfer in but he hadn't got the hint so he paddled out again only to get another shot to the mouth and have Kainoa takes his surfboard from him and paddled away. As the surfer from Carlsbad California was paddling in and Kainoa was breaking the fins off his board and sending it over the falls at Off the Wall, Kala (one of the heaviest North Shore locals and a member of the Dahui) was coming down the beach. At this stage the whole beach was laughing and going ooooooo crap you going to get it suckaaaaaaaaa. So funny. Well he gets to the beach and Kala walks up to him and asks him to follow him to the Volcom house but no he would not move so Kala lost it and tackled him to the ground. On the ground he proceeded to knock the living daylights outa this guy, teeth gone here and there and a face that looked like I boxing bag... The crowds ran and surrounded him and all the locals where screaming at him and all the bodyboarders were laughing at him. Eventually the Life Guards pulled him off before he killed him. Kala was soooooo mad. The guy then stands up all dazed as his surfboard washes up on the beach. But before he could get to it another Dahui guy grabs it and says no board for you and smashed it onto a no swimming sign on the beach. He then removes it and jumps on it once or twice and it snapped in half, after which he hands it back to the IDIOT. Now you would think he would realize these guys are going to kill him, but no he just came and sat by the SA's on the beach as everyone through comments. Eventually one of the Dahui Water Patrol walked up and was "You see you mess with the Boogie Boarders and you get F#@%& up". Man everyone was like OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Well as this was all going on some sick surfing was going under way. But by midday the winds were up and the waves went kuk. As the boys plodded through their heats some huge airs by Hubb and Sean Virtue helped take the talk off the incident from the morning. In the End the final was between, Guilherme Tamega, Spencer Skipper, Damian King and Rui Ferreira. After an entertaining heat in some sub standard waves Tamega ended up getting an interference and King got maybe the wave of the Comp. At the prize giving the following where the results:

1- Damian King
2- Spencer Skipper
3- Rui Ferreira
4- Guilherme Tamega

The Super tour also had a DK expression session, this included David Hubbard, Kainoa Mcgee, 2 other Hawaiians, Ian 'The Godfather' Metcalf and Myself. With Kainoa straight outa the fight we were all rather intimidated and after all said and done the waves were kinda kuk for DK. I just got creamed no hope on the backdoor, one of the Hawaiians who ended up winning the event was busting some huge airs so wait for footage from today in the up and coming bodyboarding videos.

CHEERS
GOD BLESS
