Attack on US Surfers in Pavones

[Don de Salea]

SUP Pilon (Pavones Break)...the truth is...

There are NO knife fights near Pavones between surfers and surfers.  The truth is that a local lodge owner attacked two veteran surfers on SUP (61 and 67) via kayak with a machete. This is an assault with a deadly weapon and either surfer could have been killed. This not a surf style beef...ALL surfers and our Pavones community should condemn violence.
Surfing is a noble sport with a rich heritage of Aloha. don de salea

I was interested in the reason behind this but didn't see any explanation, did they ever find out why this happened?

Bummer,those guys are from hawaii & built homes and retired there to ride perfect waves..now they have to deal with this shit.The hair farmer thinks he owns the ocean with his gringo friend,hard to deal with people when they 're not rational.

But hey..look at the way that Starboard handles that machete blow!!

No really,this sort of thing is brewing everywhere in one way or another,seems like the dogpatch thing is a good example.
They hate us because we catch too many waves, period...even if you don't take theirs.

Im sorry you cant catch the wave, so i'll take it...im not gonna let a perfectly good wave go to waste. So we keep showing Aloha and move on.
I've been surfing forty years with rarely a problem.I don' care what you're riding, never have, it's all good.
Drop in on me or take too many waves & don't share, your gonna hear about it...wish they could do the same.

Be careful out there & watch your back,oh..the daughter was never in the water
Just wanted to see her nutty oldman snap,really not a stretch if u knew the family.
Remember, plain and simple..most surfers don't like us.. just the way it is. I don't even think they like each other.

The machete guy is off his rocker, plain and simple.  Dogpatch/San-O has not real issues, other than stupid tickets if you go outside the "OK" zone.  No one is out yelling and having a hissy fit.   This guy is getting more attention than he deserves.

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?

Starboard should use that in their ad.
I wonder if the brushed carbon version would have held up as well.

You are correct.  They don't.  Trust me.

Great line... because it is true (for the haters at least).
