Sorry, missed that. Jordy and....?

There should be a pro surfer dropping in tax payable.

Maybe start at a $100 bucks a drop-in?

At least then the poor working stiff's getting butt reamed by the Pros will have some money in the skyrocket to compensate them.

It should be an exchange programme. For everyone he drops in on, they should get a voucher where they can take any wave they want off him at Jeffrey's. That makes it even.

BTW from what I saw yesterday, he would've given out a few vouchers.

It astounds me how much these fuckers bite the hand that feeds

Snaking is one thing but snaking the bloke while he's pitted, poor f***ing form.

Rob Bain Oneill Aust whats with your team rider ...dirty fucking drop in !

Its time these pros got bitch slapped for there bad behavior.

Funny thing is that for the couple hours I was out there yesterday, it was surprisingly orderly, except the main offenders which were the pros by far.

They have a good method. If they catch a wave without snaking, they paddle back out through the lineup. If they burn someone, they make a hasty exit down the line so nobody can give them a gobfull, then walk around and pop up again, hopefully by which time everyone has calmed down or the lineup has changed around and nobody who is left actually saw the indiscretion.

Kaiser ,name the pros .

Yesterday it was mainly Jordy that I saw. There were some brazilians but I don't know their names well enough to pick them apart. Didn't see medina.

Some protest banners need to be made for the upcoming Quicky Pro, along the lines of.....

"PRO SURFERS THAT DROP IN - FUCK OFF PLEASE"

C'mon guys...so a Pro or 2 drops in at Artificial point (man made from D/bah to Kirra)....on who?

Can anyone tell me how a Pro distinguishes from a local to a blow in to a.....???

I think all you energy should be put into stopping the Pro....so you can all have a couple of waves in peace.....when there are only locals out.......which is......and how many are locals or visiting surfers when you guys surf the Supa dupa bank??

Maybe the Pros read FR76 s post about kooks....and they now think that all lesser surfers are kooks and therefore have little or no rights in the surf??

Or ya could just let them surf....practice test new bds and they'll be gone in a couple of weeks..leaving a lot of $'s for the local community....

I'm pretty sure the Jordy drop-in was pre-arranged, from what I saw on Instagram.

shot of Jordy inside the barrel from deep behind him.

actually it's possible the guy got burned but turned out the footage he got was worth it.
I dunno.

no offense to you blokes, but if you've ever been out at Kirra like this you'd realise most people are just tea-bagging, too tired to fight the sweep in order to make the heavy drop.
the amount of unridden waves that go through is amazing, nobody should be whingeing about not getting waves at Kirra.

Yep, I take my comments back, could have been pre-arranged..

Look back at Kirra..... Can't believe these waves#GoldCoast #Australia @blessed_collector Fun wave

Well there you go. My apologies to Jordy.

No craig, it's not certain he didn't just burn him. Like I said, it's also possible the guy was just stoked he got burnt by Jordy and got a sweet clip

it's unclear from his instagram comments that's all.
a really bad burn if it wasn't set-up

Name the pros dropping in : Kaiser said yesterday it was mainly Jordy I saw do it.....

The photog blessed collector said of the pic , this is me and jordy playing cat and mouse.

The ones I saw of Jordy definitely weren't staged

Brutus what a load of shit.. So if jordy or any other pro was dropping in on you at bells you'd just shrug it off and not worry about it because " there testing new boards and and they'll be gone in a couple of weeks" ???

Pros need to remember that the average punter who loves surfing, doesn't need Pro Surfing to exist for them to go surfing. The pros need the average punter to support and show interest in the tour to keep the whole thing going. They need us a lot more than we need them

goofy.....have had it happen...does not bother me......as they are only here for a few weeks ....and usually they bring better surfing and there is an exchange of ideas/designs etc......but Goofy there are always those like yourself who choose to whinge , grizzle and just be negative about a couple of weeks of surfing with the best surfers in the world...

I think you should really try and stop considering yourself as an average punter.........as those average punters just love those pro's..

Don't worry about the drop ins! What about the pricks on the skis that catch what waves they want then hail their mates and get dropped back up the point while the rest of us battle the current for hours!!!

No one drops in on Jordy at Jeffreys Bay except this crazy mad gorilla on a knee boarder who burns everybody.

Having surfed and talked to Jordy, gotta say he's pretty polite in the lineup and doesn't snake and takes his turn. Certainly thats been my experience, so would be a surprise if he was blatant.

Also I'm not picky but apart from two waves if thats the best highlights from the 3 days of action it's not that amazing. Anyway thats my twenty cents.

Brutus I love watching the pros surf. Who doesn't? But just because they rip doesn't give them the right to burn surfers who are already on the wave!! And yes I'm an average punter, just not one who thinks its ok to have a smoking wave ruined by some cunt who surfs ALOT better than myself.
If I'm one of those guys who whinges grizzles and is negative well I guess that makes you one of those guys who get down on there knees and gobbles up every last drop of there pro-cream just because they've got stickers on there boards! Have a good day

goofy...now now calm down....at Bells this has been going on for about 50 years......and we have Winki next door to accommodate all the local surfers...when Bells is good and pros are training and getting their bds sorted....

From what I have seen and experienced down here...the problem is Pros taking off deeper and taking all the set waves...not a lot of blatant dropins...but a whole lot of snaking going on.......

So if you are a punter....are you a local also....so some might think you have more rights than other blowin punters??

And no can't get down on my knees anymore...too old and can't bend that far.....but sounds like you could be jealous...have a really really nice day!

Yeah it's pretty obvious where some people's bias lay. Some of these people who make money out of pro surfing can't see the forest for the trees. Sad really.....

My experience tells me that as a general rule most of the pros are pretty good to surf with, well aware of the rules (there are always exceptions, as with all of us), it's actually the fringe pros, kids and general hangeroners that really get annoying.

Who isn't a little starstruck when Slater has a chat to ya between sets?

And on Medina, I have never seen him hassling or dropping in, he seems pretty mellow really, I did the walk around yesterday behind him and he happily posed for photo after photo as he tried to make his way back up to Snapper, kind of want to not like him but he seems alright lol.

And I might add without wanting to sound Racist/Xenophobic etc that lately the most annoying are the sponsored Japanese surfers out there, I love Japanese people generally but get some stickers on their board and you'll be rolling out the welcome mat for our Brazillian friends.

Dean Morrison has just put a pic of him at Kirra on his instagram page. He also wrote a pretty intense comment on it about being a local there with some pretty colourful language. If I knew how to put it up on here I would..

Dean Wearne : 100% agree with your comment.

I reckon you should all get out and let Freddy P practice. Selfish pricks.

Do pros think they deserve more than the next guy?
Let Mr. Morrison state his case.
http://www.mysurf.tv/

wait until the surf is over
and we're both a little older
the unknown surfer

breakfast where the surf report is read
internet surfers fed
unborn living, living dead
out of control crowds kill surfing dead

and its all over
for the unknown surfer
its all over
the surf is over

Two seperate vents in different media Rhys !!!
I'm tipping that you've been on the receiving end of Dingo's froth in your own state .
And by the sounds of I reckon it won't happen again on your turf ?!
I reckon let the rats have the tip .

Kerby Brown,Trent Munro lots of others seem to agree with Dingos comment ?
very disapointing........

Personally I think the skis ' no matter who's operating them need to go .
Then atleast it's man on man .
And instead of all this protest shit , and take a video shit .
Just setup a bunch of kids on the hill , with a shitload of lemons and a well made orange gun ........ Ttttttthhhhhhhhhoooooooooooommmmmmmmmpppppppppppp . !

These are the same kids who go down the local public park and bully some passerby off the swings because they own them, they reckon.

Someone on his comments suggested a hashtag
#dropinondingo :)

Another thanked him for the ride on the ski this morning.

Hoping that Steph slaps your face tomorrow refuge boy.

I think Craig is more tech savvy but here's the gram in full.

dingomorrison Love surfing this place more than anything!! I grew up right there,went to primary school right there, when times were tough we had to stay at the refuge right there, so that's why I get territorial right there.. To all those people that think it's a free for all or if ya just moved here and think your a local FUCK YOU takes along time to pay ya dues and earn ya spot in a line up!!!! Photo @dmunnphotography

The video footage is getting better.

Did anyone get amongst it and get some good ones ?

Surely someone came in with a smile on their face.

Haha excellent entertainment thanks

Dean Morrison, Koby Aberton & friends you are all legend in your own soiled undies. Take what is rightfully yours, just as nature intended. I personally hope you all come to a grim, slow, demeaning end. Stay at your locals, where your rights are indesputeable, cause your not welcome anywhere else on this beautiful planet. Arrogant fuckwits beyond belief.

Fucker must have deleted all the comments, I don't see any anti dingo ones at all. These fags get a freeride, coin and more than their fair share of waves, fuck em.

Really no nobody should take Koby Abberton or what he says seriously. Giving credence to such an unintelligent thug makes him and his band of thugs think that they matter, they don't . Probably the best course of action would be to petition sponsors to drop such leaches then they would have to get real jobs........that'd fuck'em.

Fuck what planet am I on again , Koby respecting locals, not from what I have seen in person.
Soggy koby doesn't have a sponsor and yes he is a thug but I think there is half a brain in there as he has learnt to play the bogans in the surfing world like a violin they think he's cool, but the media shy away from him a bit now so making stupid comments on social media is his platform now days, any publicity is good publicity, actually for this baboon the worse the publicity the better he likes it.

ah locals....so who is and why do they have more rights than others??

sounds like a lot of whinging locals on these forums or are they blowins from...inland??

Dropins have always been part of surfing ...no mention how bad Occy/Parko/Mick etc and how many waves they catch..??

and ain't that the truth Lostdoggy!!

Hopefully dingo or more so jordy suffers a bad injury in the next couple days. Don't care what you guys think of this comment.

And this just all goes to reinforce my decision to not surf the points in SE QLD anymore. There's just way too much aggression both in and out of the water. Every feckwit believes he's owed something in life rather than earning it from respecting others and treating everyone as equal!!!

yeah surfer1....and what kind of bad injury are you hoping for...broken neck or back....hoping they become a paraplegic.......yeah that's the way surfer1..lets get real//anyone dropping in ........maybe the death sentence ????

Freeride made the comment early / above re: "... biting the hand that feeds them ..."

Surely the WSL can see this? Plenty of video evidence to use to penalise the offending surfers? $ fine, or WCT points? Either way, IF the WSL wants to make their product more 'professional' it's time they took the lead with this issue ...

Surely the 'brands' and 'companies' that sponsor these surfers can see this behaviour is damaging to their brands? Isn't it time, these companies withdrew their sponsorship for the offending professional surfers? Or, again, issued fines, significant fines and perhaps made their sponsored surfers do some community service

In the meantime, we, the average surfer / weekend warrior can simply stop buying products from companies who sponsor the offending professional surfers.

NOTE: Yes, Brutus agreed, drop in's have always been a part of the 'sport'. However, with increasing crowds and thus increased risks, having the professional ranks so blatantly doing the wrong thing only makes it seem like it is OK for the average punter. This fuels the drop in culture and increases the risks further ... surely it's time for a change?

As for jet ski in the lineup ... where the fuck are the Police / Maritime? The maritime laws and rules exist for a reason. Again, isn't it time they used them and issued some fines? It will be too late when someone is run over and killed!

have an easy solution.....1 week before a Comp......Pros have all the rights to train and surf at the competition site...and all the rest of the surfers have 2nd priority!

As far as damaging the brands....ah Global brands sell globally and one would think that any local surf spot would represent less than .0001% of sales .....

Its only social media and videos that are firing up the moronic masses....with knee jerk reactions and emotional wiffle waffle!!

The poor bloke he dropped in on commented on this one

A comment from Ian Cairns on there .

Great waves but what a clusterfcuk that place is. Whatever happened too a bit of courtesy and good vibes not happening on any populated stretch of coast.
It's understandable that people who live there, work there and don't get to travel much get frustrated by overcrowding when they probably miss plenty of good days due to work commitments.
But those who travel the world surfing for a living playing the local card is so fcuking hypocritical especially the ones who have surfed the best days of waiting periods at likes of Pipe.
Don't want to surf with fcukwits live in remote areas away from easy travelling distance of overpopulated cesspools like the Goldy, Sydney, Melbourne or Perth also don't surf on weekends when carloads of fcukwits show up because of a good forecast and throw etiquette out the window.

Dingo is copping an absolute roasting on that mysurf clip!!
Better jump on there and defend him Brutus!

ahhh don't ya love that great Australian sport..tall poppy syndrome!!!

We have now surpassed the whinging pommies...with the whining Aussie tall poppy syndrome club.......be proud guys!!

Isn't tall poppy syndrome giving someone shit when they do something good??
Tell me what part of that dog act was good!

Quick poll here and it seems to be the guys who don't surf it, looking in, that are more upset about the drop in situation. Extrapolating from my sample size of 1 (me) those that surf it accept that it is what it is. Some days good, some days bad but some magic waves in amongst the mayhem that keeps you going back. Drop-ins happen out there and no one is immune and no one who surfs it regularly can honestly say that they haven't dropped in on someone at some point either.

In summary - chill, its OK.

Don, with all respect every snapper-kirra video has a metric tonne of comments about how "things shouldn't be like that and thank god I don't have to surf it"

I've been faded by some of the best out there, as well as some of the worst. And truth be told I've done it from time to time on a bad day myself. The one rule that is usually followed is - if the guy is in a makeable tube, no drop ins, just sit back and watch. The week proceeding the quikky pro though - hell anything is possible. As for dingo, I am not going to delve into it but it sounds like one of the worserer drop ins, but that happens at this time of year, hopefully the other guy still managed to get some good ones.

Let me ask you this.....if one of these so called pros rocked up at Indo would they let every Indo local get every set wave and let the local drop in on them?

Or even more to the point, if one of these so called pros rocked up at PNG (or some other very remote location with very few experienced local surfers in the water) would they let every PNG local get every set wave and let the local drop in on them?

I think not!!!

I recently returned from a reasonably remote surfari last year where there was only a handful of boats operating. 99% of the surfers in the water (including locals) abided by the rule, if you've just got a wave, then you're at the end of the queue, irrespective of your seated position in the line up. This worked amazing well and was well respected by all people in the water (locals included). The countries of origin of people in the water ranged from Aussies, Saffas, Frenchies and Indo locals who live and work on location. This rule all fell to pieces the day a boat load of Japanese Hawaiians rocked up. One guy in particular caught each set wave and continued to paddle straight back up the point and sit the deepest on the inside every time and get the next wave. That was until he did it to me too many times and I yelled at him "feck off cvnt". I think he got the message after that.

It's not hard to respect every one in the water and share the waves. No one owns anything in the water, and no one is certainly "owed" any wave based on their heritage/status in the line up.

Treat everyone in the line up like they're your brother/sister/mates etc and the ocean/surf will become a much much more pleasant place.

It's very simple. If someone is actually on a wave, don't get on it. If they fall off, and you're in the right spot... knock yourself out. You cannot pre-emptively take a wave as there will always be a chance they could have made it if you just stayed the fuck away, no matter how kooky they seem.

Thats my son in the vid from 16 sec to 26 sec, (its all the same wave, put the last edit first and you've got the right sequence). He surfed for 5 hrs that day and certainly got some good ones without ski help. He's a born local and doesn't drop in, snake or even hassle.
But he was fuming after that late Kirra session with the blatant burning going on by more that a few 'pro's' even some who he knows... drop ins and ski snaking....

A Dingo stole my wavey.

Is Delman Ferreira an Aussie ?

I don't know about this Dean Morrison business, Kirra has always been this way, it's not a new thing, it's not just him, I think his comment justifying it was in poor judgement though, would have been better off with a "couldn't let that go to waste" or something along those lines.

I have lived here for nearly 10 years, mind my own business, occasionally get burnt, never had a dispute and get plenty of waves. I am by no means a local but certainly don't get as savaged as when I was fresh off the boat. I respect the locals, I understand that I am probably not going to get the wave of the year if the likes of Dingo etc are around, I have no problem with this.

I have watched this clip a couple of times and I think that guy was no chance to make it, he didn't have the drive to get through those following sections.

I guess what I am trying to say is Coolangatta would probably benefit from some sort of local enforcement, if you do your time, wait your turn, show a bit of respect then it might be a happier experience for all. Unless you surf there a lot you wouldn't understand it.

Yeah i'm with you Seaman, if he had just been a bit more humble/apologetic about it i could handle it but now i just think he's a dick. When i was i Bali last year my son wanted to see the Mad Huey contest at Keramas, i saw that Dingo was in it and said yeah be good to watch. Dingo was great to the kids photos autographs ect and i thought what a nice guy. If this had happened before hand i wouldn't of bothered going, thus the 20 odd people i dragged along wouldn't of gone and spent money at the Kommune Resort ect,ect.

Has the groyne extension made any difference? Good solution to the overcrowding problem.

Plenty of long stretches of beach in se qld that could benefit from a little man made intervention.

This is just Calhouns rats in a cage writ large.
Too many rats not enough cheese and we see the behavioural sink. Aggression in Gotham City.
Pros aren't Einstein, they should probably stay away from social media. Better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think you are a dickhead than open it and prove it beyond doubt.

I think there may finally be a solution to the problem of too many surfers-not enough waves and the hand of friendship is extended to SUPs as a bonus.....win-win-win!

Stab Mag has a nice interview up on their website with Dingo
