What's better than a wipeout reel? Surf fights!
I’m not proud of it, but I was in more than my fair share of fights when I was younger. If you’d asked me then I’d have sworn they were all justified, but if I’m being honest it was really all because I had a chip on my shoulder and pubescent levels of testosterone coursing through my veins. And also because I was a greasy little punk and no women would have sex with me.
In the decade-and-a-half since I’ve only hit someone twice. The first time was an unfortunate mishap at a baby shower that I won’t delve into right now. The second involved me squaring off with the senior partner of my wife’s law firm in a Honolulu parking lot. I won that one, but the dude was in his sixties, so I feel like it deserves an asterisk.
On a related note, did you know you don’t have to hit an old man very hard to hurt him pretty badly?
While I’m not an advocate of using violence to solve problems, I do think that, sometimes, not often, you’re justified in delivery a stiff right to the center of someone’s big stupid mug. And I do enjoy watching other people fight, especially over surfing. It’s just such a stupid thing to come to blows over, watching two guys bash on each other over a totally inconsequential part of life puts a huge smile on my face.
El Porto is such a garbage spot. A shitty closeout 364 days a year, home to worst ten million freaks, boomers, egos, and assholes that LA has to offer. I just love how the guy throws his nice white …Lost on the ground before they go at it like two dudes who’ve watched a ton of UFC but never actually tried to translate their sweet mental karate into action.
Getting mad at a little kid is such wasted effort. The little shit can run his mouth at you, even take a swing at you, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Because, if you try, Richie Collins is gonna come flying out of nowhere and kick your ass!
I take back what I wrote earlier about surfing always being a stupid thing to fight over. It’s a little more nuanced than that. For instance, I feel like Nathan Fletcher’s reaction in this clip is totally reasonable.
Thank the good lord for giving everyone video cameras, otherwise I’d never have seen a guy come pretty close to drowning a dude while two foot mush crumbles softly in the background.
There’s a moment in here when he realizes, “Oh shit, I’m way too old for this to end well for me.”
Remember, keep your chin down and your hands up and, until next time, here’s an old man falling down an escalator.
fuck richie collins!

if that kid punched that man then he deserves to get spanked…that fact that skelator jumped in only ensures that kids will be a douche bag sucker punch artist
My gosh these clowns can’t fight for shit. Flailing about with thumbs and pinkies hanging out. Close your fists and never ever throw haymakers.
While stylistically, I agree with your assessment, I’m reminded of a conversation with an SAS trainer I used to play footy with. He said that outside of a controlled (fighting) environment, you’re just looking for the quick end. Haymakers are where it’s at.
I agree with a quick end, but the rest of that is terrible advice. Haymakers are very low percentage shots, just watch the videos. Anyone that knows how to punch will tell you a haymaker is no more powerful than a proper punch. When you rare back you still come back to the same position as a proper from the shoulder punch. A well placed 1-2 jab right cross combo will end a fight quickly. It’s more accurate thus more deadly. When someone winds up to throw a haymaker they are completely exposed, ripe for the 1-2 combo to the chin. Lights out, fight over. This is just my take on it, I’m no Joel jitsu.
Absolutely. But how often do you see anyone with the training, ability and control to achieve that in the heat of the moment? What my mate was saying was that even though you may know the jab, 1, 2 combo, when the blood is boiling, you swing high, hard and heavy when you see an ‘opening’. As much as anything in reaction to the other bloke windmilling at you.
I wouldn’t know either. I’m a surfer, not a lover.
Very true. I wouldn’t know either, I always try to avoid a fight at all costs. The few I have been forced to enter into, it is always a blurred mess. What I was taught is to beware of the small guy who doesn’t bother with the shit talking. These videos are funny, especially the Oriental guys and their open hand bitch slapping routine.
Captain Clark V Julian’s Postie UFC 227 Blood Feud
Funniest fight I ever saw was two guys on a footy field shaping up. Bloke on the bench next to me says “I always wanted to smash that fucker!” Runs about 80m to the scene, doubles over and holds one hand out telling the two almost combatants to wait while he catches his breath.
The shit talking purging from Rory while he fought that sixty year old must have been utterings seldom appreciated. Even more seldom witnessed. Like a book of magical spells that your grandma told you never to open.
1. I read the caption to this as “sometimes, not often, you’re justified in delivery (sic) a stiff right to the center of someone’s big stupid MAG” (caps added, and possibly freudian “a”). 2. this was a wonderful boost because i’d just been sitting here fantasizing about going over to an asshole’s house, someone who just fucked me over royally, and taking my broom (i’m an old broad) and when he answers the door whacking him with it–several times. I don’t think any judge would convict me because they’d be laughing so hard. thanks, rory, wherever you are.
