Smashed My Acai Bowl, Bro

[racer1]

Maybe it's because all the Brazilians that are able to travel internationally are rich?

 

[grg]

what sponsors?

Xanadu.

LOL

 

[StuAzole]

Shouldn't Tanner be concerned about losing his sponsor for such behaviour ?

Tanner isn't in the wrong here

Yeah, an almost 30 year old professional standing at the top of the stairs and starting a fight at a WCT venue is clearly the right thing to do.

I dunno, seems like Michael had made it a point to be an asshole and routinely try him.

This can test even the longest of fuses.

Do you think Michael is going to keep running his mouth?

Yes.

He's on the CT and Tanner is Tanner.

I could be wrong, but that fight looked like only one guy was fighting. The other guy knew he was on camera and just hunkered down. Tanner got kicked out of the event, and MR didn't.

Unless I see some "after" shots showing a bloody face, I'd say MR still owns Tanner.

 

[StuAzole]

what sponsors?

Xanadu.

LOL

Tangent, but regardless of what his current stable of pros looks like, Xanadu is still one of the gnarliest shapers out there, and he's one of the few guys on that level who will sit with you, regardless of your name or talent level, and work out your next board.

Yes.

Considering how fast Michael folded I think you're wrong.

Exactly.

I said it here or some other thread. The ones you see traveling are from $$.

Yup. Plus they grow up never having to lift a finger around the house and have everything handed to them.

He knew what was coming, and knew he was on video. He folded on purpose. At least that's my guess.

Rodrigues's latest instragram post (translated by Google):

Faced with the repercussion of the aggression I suffered here in Hawaii, I would like to say that I am well focused solely on the competition here at Pipeline, and my career as a professional surfer.
In addition, I repudiate any and all acts of violence against me, or against any other living being.
Nothing justifies the aggression I have received, so I feel obliged to take all reasonable steps to ensure that unfortunate events such as these do not recur, with me, or against any other athlete and / or person.
Finally, WSL has already demonstrated that surfing, as a top-level sport, no longer tolerates this type of behavior.
I hope this fact does not negatively affect the surf, let alone my career. I'm a surfer, athlete!
Hugs to all, and thanks for the support

He's hired the same lawyer as the girl lady who got her leash pulled in Venice.

Joint press conference forthcoming...

 

[grapedrink]

That's the weird thing.

I've spent months there, always found them to be some of the warmest people. No disproportionate BS in the lineups either compared to other places.

How many acai bowls did you smash in those months, bro?! :confused2:

 

[Autoprax]

Trigger an overreaction then play the victim.

Oldest game in town.

I thought the brazo would go all BJJ on him.

The Kelly Slater surfing at the end of the Malloy fighting was epic.
