Poor Sunny. Dude had a hard, difficult life- and also enjoyed a pro surfing lifestyle and world championship.
Tried to kill himself and is now stuck in purgatory - draining family and friend emotions and resources.
Easy to say that karma caught up and bitch-slapped Sunny for all his aggression and violence and this is a lesson for all you wannabe future enforcers.
I'm the same age as Sunny and have always appreciated his surfing. Wish him and his family well.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I aplogize(the forum won't let me delete the post). I was referring to his comments in the "Hawaii - Done" thread. I've been wondering about Sunny's health as well.....No recent updates as far as I know.

I was actually thinking of him today on my bike ride. Don't know why but I did think about him and how he might be doing. There hasn't been any updates for some time so probably no improvement.
What a shame. Wishing him well. Hope there is hope for him. Get well Champ!

@tenover - Nope, not me.

I don't have trolls.

My sympathies to Sunny and his family, as the situation is difficult for everyone. More so since lawyers have become involved and appear to have restricted access to the patient.

Now we know why their have never been any images or video of Michael Schumacher since his skiing accident and rumoured vegetative state - not a single image or video clip has ever been released by the Schumacher family.

Wish you and your family well.

I apologize if I touched some nerves with this thread - It certainly wasn't my intention to create waves.

I'm sure that Sunny is the biggest sweetheart to his friends and family - the most solid of humans. Not questioning that in the slightest. My apologies if some of you felt otherwise. Heal up Champ - would love to see you ripping again.

However, Sunny signed up to be a pro surfer, made millions, and became a world champ. He also signed up for criticism and reflection from us kooks - whether he likes it or not. Slater, Gabby and Potter have caught plenty of crap from us... to name a few.

Unfortunately, Sunny chose the angry/enforcer route - the only world champ with that distinction. I'm his age and was living in north county san diego when he wrapped his car around a telephone pole/tree - and when he got into a road rage incident on the freeway and was beat up.

Sunny is the most polarizing pro of all time. Of course, Slater was bored at this point in his career and let a few of these guys in to get trophies. Sunny chasing Neco up the beach was stupid. Sunny banging on the judge's door on more than one occasion was also idiotic.

Sunny will go down as one of the best surfers of all time and I wish the best for him and his family - but get fvcked if any of you continue to give me grief for this thread.
