Surline Goodwill Tour Fiasco

Friday, June 29, 2007

A story that happened in Mexico this week is sweeping the online surfing world. The short version is a group of Aussies were trying to surf a break in Mexico that was closed off on short notice for a 5 day "Surfline Goodwill Tour". The Aussies attempted to surf early in the am when the beach and water was empty before the "contest" started. The Aussies were harassed out of the water by guys launching rocks from slingshots, apparently instructed by Surfline founder Sean Collins. You can read all about it in this thread at SurferMag with some photos and videos of the fiasco here.

Sean Collins and Surfline are going to have a hard time getting out of this one.
