"My boyz lockup in Halawa was waiting for this tough guy and welcome him with a lil Westside Style Street Justice."
The legendary Hawaiian strongman Johnny Boy Gomes, winner of the 1997 Pipeline Masters and often cited as the world’s best power surfer of the 1970s and 1980s, has reacted positively to news that a Californian man, notorious for violent road rage incidents, was severely beaten by inmates in Hawaii.
In 1999, Gomes won fifty gees in the Backdoor Shootout, the biggest winner’s cheque in surfing at that point, and placed third in the Eddie that same year.
Nathaniel Radimak, meanwhile, is a 38-year-old man notorious for violent road rage incidents. And five days back, a little payback you might say, after he was savagely beaten by inmates at Halawa Correctional Facility in Honolulu, Hawaii. The assault left Radimak with severe injuries to his face and torso, requiring treatment at The Queen’s Medical Center.
Johnny Boy writes, Good for you and you lucky the cops found you first This is the Tesla guy who was attacking mainly women in California and having road rage with a metal pipe and he thought he could come here to Hawaii and pull that same shit, F#% Dat❗️I Don’t Think So, We Don’t Play That F#%~> Game Here In Hawaii‼️ #streetjustice️ My boyz lockup in halawa was waiting for this tough guy and welcome him with a lil Westside Style Street Justice and it’s just the beginning, you can run but you cannot hide Karma for all that bullying you was doing to all that poor people and this street justice is for all of you Never Again…
Comments uniformly in favour of the beatdown with Aussie surf star of the nineties Lee “Baby” Winkler adding, “Nothing like a little welcome to country.

Nathaniel Radimak’s reign of terror on Southern California roads from 2022 to 2023 cemented his notoriety. Driving a Tesla, he targeted female motorists in affluent Los Angeles neighborhoods like Pasadena and Glendale, wielding a metal pipe to smash car windows and intimidate drivers.
In the footage, he exits his Tesla, pipe in hand, and strikes a woman’s vehicle while she sits inside, visibly terrified. The video, viewed millions of times, fueled public outrage and aided police in identifying him.
Other incidents included chasing a female driver after a minor traffic dispute, shattering her window, and issuing death threats. These attacks led to his 2023 conviction for assault, vandalism, and related charges, earning a five-year sentence. His prior convictions for theft and domestic violence highlighted a pattern of violent behavior.
On May 7, 2025, Radimak was arrested in Honolulu after attacking a mother and her teenage daughter in a Kakaako parking lot. The teenager, a learner driver, was practicing parallel parking when Radimak started to give ’em hell.
According to police, he attempted to enter their vehicle and assaulted the pair verbally and physically. The mother, Keila Meyer, told local media,
“My daughter was just trying to learn how to parallel park, something every new driver does. This man came out of nowhere, yelling profanities and banging on our car. It was terrifying. He tried to open the door, and I thought he was going to hurt us. My daughter froze, and I had to pull her close to keep her calm. No one should feel that kind of fear in a parking lot.”
Meyer added, “I’m still shaken thinking about what could have happened. My daughter is scared to drive now, and that breaks my heart. He took away her confidence in a moment.”
The pair escaped physical injury but were deeply traumatised, prompting new charges against Radimak for assault and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.
Radimak is scheduled for a court appearance on May 22, 2025, for an arraignment on the Kakaako charges. The prison bashing at Halawa mirrors the fear Radimak once inflicted, placing him in a perilous new reality behind bars.
Hard to work up much sympathy for the newest inmate.
Polynesians were only in Hawaii 1,000 years, not nearly as much a claim to localism as native Americans in california have of 10,000 years
I wonder what the dinosaurs think about all of this localism?
“You going act like one man I going treat you like one man”-JBG to Joe Cooper. John was a pioneer in respecting an individuals gender confusion.
JBG is a piece of shit woman beater.
Came off second best when Koby Abberton stood up to him.
Kobe has slapped his fair share of women too, no doubt.
I haven’t heard that but I’m not holding Koby up as a good man either, just that he stood up to JBG and from the vague reporting, he gave JBG a touch up
carcass at Lenox…same Jodie!
true that last bit…Kobes and JBG in the Eukai toilet block……also perry Dane cracked JBG pretty bad……..JBG had major issues , looks like he’s really mellowing out though….shortest fuse I have seen on anyone!
The problem with JBG was you never knew which JBG you were going to get – smiling and jokey Johnny Boy or WAT HAOLE FUKKAH LIKE BEEF?! Johnny Boy, as his mood swings took place in seconds.
yes serious inferiority complex , from his upbringing, and always had to prove himself in a time when surf altercations were the norm
testosterone fades as you age; some of the mad dogs settle down
it’s called wisdom I think……LOL???
Don’t mess with Sean.
Sore bum?
Hey but remember if you shred at a high level you get a pass to act like a asshole.
Guy is 58 and was one of the world’s best power surfers of the 70s?
in 1979 he was twelve years old.
Seriouly dude gets a calculator.
Guaranteed little Johnny was throwing buckets @ Makaha in ’79.
Pretty sure they meant 80s and 90s. JBG was tapped. No one has ever surfed like that since. Sick power. We were all afraid of him. He would yell “Do something!” And one time I spayed him at Rockies and he yelled “ Wise Up!” Nowadays he has mellowed out and super nice to everyone. It’s a trip.
Epic – but not sure Jon would have tolerated being spayed nor liked the thought having ovaries!!!
We used to have a bootleg video called “surfing 1985”. Had all sorts of stuff on it, including “Tahitian dreams” with a young poto, and Arsene Hareo. But it also had this section with U2 soundtrack and this unknown Hawaiian guy destroying what we figured must be rocky lefts. A few years later we found out it was jbg. Such a great surfer though I’m not a fan of his non surfing antics.
Yup
Looks like he became the “Welcome Mat.”
Whoever goes about their lives behaving in this manner will be dealt with accordingly. Without any comeback in my court room. A total waster who needs wasting it would appear. Good on yer Johnny boy for bringing this information to light.
Cole just Loves fashion, enjoys dying his hair in fun, creative new ways… the leopard spots pattern became something of an iconic look, and, gosh, it’s so fun to see this new young generation just expressing themselves.
He’s good friends with Sawyer’s brother Taj. You see all the cool, super fun adventures they get up to on social media.
They must never be forgiven. Just like white south africans during apartheid (who Trump now ridiculously classes as refugees).
“White South Africans” is ambiguous – as you well know, there are two white tribes in SA, the English-speakers and the Afrikaaners, who are very different and in fact, fought a war against each other, the Boer War.
Haha as a South African this obviously isn’t news to me but for the record apartheid wasn’t radically different to British colonialism here that was favoured by the English speaking tribe who incidentally also created the concept of concentration camps during the Boer war that was later embraced by the Nazi’s.
The segregation and racism of pre-1948 South Africa was institutionalised under the Afrikaner Nationalists, and given the name “Apartheid” which became world-famous for all the wrong reasons.
The English-speakers looked the other way and held their noses throughout the 50’s and into the 1960’s as they were making too much money, in the era when a single Rand was worth USD 1.40 and sanctions were unknown.
Nice Google search. But yes the racism associated to colonialism under the white english speakers was formalised by the white afrikaans speakers as mentioned previously.
No need for a Google Search, bru – I was a property owner at Jeffrey’s Bay 6330 for 12 years
Sorry didn’t mean to criticise and good for you to identify that part of our history. Hopefully you still visit often because the waves are as good as ever.
South Africa is a great country – I would be happy to live there, if it were not so damn dangerous and with ever-lower standards of governance under the ANC.
Unfortunately, the over 1 million white, well-educated English speakers who have left the country since 1994 agree –
Actually the better educated like me, especially in terms of a surfing lifestyle, recognise that there is nowhere better to live with epic relatively uncrowded waves on tap pretty much all year round. And while it’s unfair and unacceptable, it’s only really dangerous to live in the poor communities whereas those of us who live in well off communities are living our best lives.
true story boet! While the English speaking community, along with all the Euro-country-descendants, had a rep of being more liberal, I’m not sure how much of a difference we were really making. We sure weren’t empowering the poor black masses in giant strides. But hey, neither did the ANC when it was their turn to deliver … the truth of the matter is that tens of millions of poor black saffas are still fucked – regardless of who’s in power.
Yes sadly many of the new black political class couldn’t resist the temptation of feeding from the trough. This has severely set back economic growth and has retarded the critically needed transformation of our country into a position where wealth is equitably shared between its citizens. But make no mistake the white English and Afrikaans colonial and apartheid masters were equally corrupt AND imposed inhuman conditions on black people based on the same white supremacist thinking that is being rewarded by Trumps ridiculous granting of refugee status to white afrikaners.
It’s not that ridiculous when political leaders are calling for the killing of a minority group, who has already suffered many brutal racially motivated murders.
Thats not true at all and forms part of the lies used to justify the false claim of white genocide. As sinister as it may sound to those unfamiliar with the liberation struggle against apartheid, it has been proven after the submissions of evidence within court hearings in our highly respected judicial system that the contentious chat ‘kill the boer’ was and is not a literal statement. And even so it is only a small minority party leader who still uses that chant. So yes it’s ridiculous that wealthy (probably racist) white people are given refugee status and even more especially when Trump has stopped accepting genuine refugees fleeing actual death and starvation from war town regions of the world.
yes, well put! I remember when I was in varsity in Slaapstadt in the early 90ies and the professors spoke on whether South Africa was going to take the high road to success or the low road to not so much success – I guess it turned out to be middle of the road at best for good ‘ol Saffaland!
Ja true and largely due to 10 years of hyper corrupt government under President Zuma but thankfully we have much better leadership now and are turning the corner slowly but surely. Thankfully the waves are as good ever and without the crowds that have ruined it pretty much everywhere else with world class waves, it’s definitely turned out to be the high road for surfers.

Didn’t this guy punch a girl in the back of the head in the surf? Our Pauline ?

Bud ‘Jodie’ Lamas
I hate to think how many Chick’s and grommets the likes of JBG Sunny Tom Carroll and Nat Young snr burned threatened intimidated or punched choked or held under the water in the surf in their day , surf rage no different to road rage bro.
Tom Carroll is 5’1”. Not an enforcer, just the worst drop-in in history.
Verbal abuse and sexism is as bad as physical abuse.
Bullshit.
How were the waves in Hell this morning?
No matter what , he’ll upvote it
How could hell be any worse
Life alone’s a fucking curse
