Man told, “There aren’t any waves for you…”
A Brazilian retiree, devotee of the art of stand-up paddleboarding, and wearing a camera affixed to his brim of his surf hat, has told of the horror of being targeted by cruel surfers during a recent surf at Moffat Beach on Australia’s Sunshine Coast.
In a chilling recording captured by his POV camera, Jose Coelho is told by surfers – longboarders admittedly so hard to take a side here – to “fuck off” and “there aren’t any waves here for you”.
Coelho replies, ‘You’re bullying and abusing me.”
One of the surfers says, “Yeah, that’s right.”
The Sunshine Coast Daily reported the event thus,
Partner Kath McConnell was stand-up paddle boarding in the deeper, calmer water and witnessed the encounter.
She said it was “heartbreaking” that Mr Coelho was too scared to return to the surf.
“It’s such a shame because that’s his passion,” she said.
Caloundra Police officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant John Mahoney said occasionally police received reports of physical and verbal altercations between surfers.
Mr Coelho’s incident was reported to police, but Sen Sgt Mahoney said there was insufficient evidence to take the matter further.
Sen-Sgt Mahoney likened it to road rage, and said it only increased when there were more surfers on the water. He said it rarely resulted in charges being laid.
“Obviously there’s surfing etiquette and certain people feel aggrieved if that etiquette isn’t followed,” he said.
Of course, no news story is complete without use of that most magical of all words, just six-letters long, that sets nations on fire and drives entire peoples nuts with collective guilt.
Mr Coelho, the paper reported, said he believed he was targeted because he was on a stand-up board and because of his accent.
Of course!
Racism!
What else could it be?
No reports of Moffat Beach businesses being looted…yet.
It’s always good to hear a SUP riding kook being told to fuck off, the only footage I’d ever want to see from that kooky head mounted gopro, is the abuse montage that he must have recorded.
SUP Lives Matter!!! A brazo on a sup with a go pro getting defended by his misses can it get any more lame than that?
Most often they are sort of cunts. But this article is fake news, Sgt Mahoney really? Was Larvell Jones imitating Dad Toledos`s whistles from the beach?
fuck a SUP. Guarantee he was being a wave hogging dickhead.
I stopped reading at “a camera affixed to his brim of his surf hat”.
Where can I find such a grand set up?

I thought a Moffat is what chicks get when they don’t shave downstairs for a year.
I guess the white Americans born and bred in Hawaii have more social advantages and sponsorship opportunities for competitions.
Perhaps a similar situation to the lighter skinned Brazilians in Brazil having a higher standard of living without police persecution.
He’s an American born and brought up in Hawaii from American parents who’s been adopted by some Hawaiians cos he surfs well…
Yeah but how often do you see them respecting the lineup? They’re all fucken snakes and back paddlers. Greedy cunts.
For real.
Who the fuck wouldn’t want to tell this tool with his goofy hat and camera to fuck off?
If he ditched the hat, camera and shitty attitude he might have an easier time out there. That audio made it sound like he was taking whatever wave he wanted.
Most of them do
It’s pretty hard not to tell from even a glance of a video that their ‘male pattern baldness’ will have them going the way of Robby Slater before ya know it though.
The sooner they shave the better so as not to be hiding behind a bandana like Hulk Hogan or Bret Michael’s etc…
Surely the only pattern you see is that of his and gravys’ impending baldness…
Hair so thin it looks like ham gravy trickling over them skulls.
P.S.
White blokes born in Hawaii with no Polynesian ancestry are Americans…
Besides being a tweeker bully, what’s ‘Fast’ Eddy Rothman?
An American Jew from Philidephia.
Not a drop of Polynesian ancestry…
Despite the article not really taking sides, if you bother to listen to the audio (which I always do… eventually), the SUP pilot is definitely in the wrong. Court adjourned.
SUP pilots are always in the wrong…haha
Neither Hawaiians nor Brazilians at their most pure of blood origins are ‘black’ though…
As a part Maori I’ve been mistaken for both as well as Spanish, Portugese, Mexican and other brownly mixed race people around the world in my surf travels since 1983.
The term ‘black’ has always referred to those with a very strong African origin as far as I was aware.
Though once a redneck Aussie called me a black bastard while mistaking me for an Aboriginal in 1986. He got bashed for it…
50% african descent in brasil, I taught English to quite a few but they couldn’t really understand me unless I spoke like a Chas
Yes
Hence your Dantas’s being higher on the melanin scale than your Ibelli’s for instance.
And then post WW2 we have more of a different influence again…
Only in the far south
Therefore Brazilians even at their darkest of tans aren’t what the protesters of the world could discern as ‘black’…
How’s Ibelli and Webbs origins looking ?
Gets very voodoo chile in the North, for realz
Listened to it 3 times through, throughout today. Deep grooves. Don’t make them like they used to anymore.
Charles Jr., which implies a Charles Sr. Bexy eats both maybe?
Yes I’ve noticed that and prefer to refer to him as Charlie myself, being a more likeable and practical form of his name.
A bloke at the pub told me he’s only known by the more effiminate ‘Chas’ these days cos his wife earns waaaay more than him…
I can smell the sin on your breath from here…
I’m disappointed that Chas doesn’t ‘identify’ with being called Charlie, Chuck or even possibly Chad (in that order)
Utter lies
London has the best 2am kebabs anywhere…
