Fight for the right
The scene of the
latest schism between Brenden Newton and the population of Hawaii: Honolua Bay.
If one needed anymore proof of Brenden Newton’s newfound extremism
(reported on in our new issue printing at the moment) then read this Hawaiian
letter from Brazilian Magno Oliveira:
My name is Magno Oliveira. I have finished in the world’s top 20 for the
last three years. I’m writing to you to talk about some amazing
experiences I’m having in this Hawaiian trip. Please excuse my broken English. The first day I
arrived in Hawaii, was three weeks ago, the 9th of January, and Pipeline was
big, not many people in the water and sets of 12-to-15 feet. It was this day,
in the water, I met Brenden Newton. From that day on we became good friends and most of
the time people would see us together all the time as if we were friends from
long ago. A couple of days ago, Brenden took me to the airport to catch my
flight back to Brazil, it was the 28th of February, my flight was scheduled to
leave at 5:50 pm, as you all know one day before that the 27th of February, we
had a tsunami alarm, and all the people went crazy, as result my flight was
overbooked and I couldn’t fly back to Brasil. As soon as I figured out I couldn’t
fly I called Brenden. 30 minutes later he was back at the airport, then he
invited me to go on a trip to Maui. The next day we were flying to Maui at
5am to surf this swell that would be amazing for some breaks on that island. In
the same plane, were Jeff Hubbard, Glen Sullivan, Jamie Obrien, Simon Romero.
It was then that I realized how good the waves were going to be.
At 9 am we arrived at the final destination, Honolua Bay, one of
the best rights in the world, and it was amazing. As we started to walk with
our boards hiking down the hill to get to the beach, one huge angry looking local
guy looks at Brenden and said: "hey, I know you, you are the guy that ran
over me the other day at Pipe". Brenden then looks him in the eyes and says full of
the confidence he usually speaks, "Yes, why?" The guy says, "Go,
you guys have ten minutes of surfing until I use you as a launch
ramp." We walked down the hill, and jumped off the rocks
to start paddling to our first session in Maui. Honolua is a wave of three
sections, the first one is where all the surfers sit to wait for the waves
(because they intimidate the bodyboarders), and the second and the third
section is a hollower section where the bodyboarders usually sit. Unfortunately
this means that the surfers get all the good waves from the beginning section. We surfed for a little
bit and then we saw that same guy. We were sitting on the outside, pretty much
the only bodyboarders sitting there, and then this guy said to us: " You
guys should go sit on the inside." Then Brenden says, " No, why
should I sit on the inside?" The guy says, already mad, "Do you
see any bodyboarder here? Go sit on in the inside. You and your fucking friend."
There is actually only one bodyboarder that sits on the first section; he is a
dropknee rider that apparently is a local. So Brenden says again,
"No, I’ll stay here". The local surfer got closer to him and punched
him in the head and said, “You should listen to what I’m saying.” Brenden
replies, "Should I listen to you or to Jesus". Then even angrier the
local said, "Go in or I’m going to kill you". Brenden was still in
the same place where his was punched and with even more confidence he replies, “Kill
me then, Jesus will raise me from the dead." The local who was probably
the sheriff of that tribe of surfers couldn’t believe what he was seeing, being
challenged in front of his crew by a boogieboarder, as they say here, with an
Australian accent. I don’t know what was going through the
local’s mind, but after that he didn’t say a word and we kept bodyboarding.
What I saw as something very unusual, especially in Hawaii, where we are all
treated as rats, where the local surfers rule their spots. It was very
encouraging to see a bodyboarder standing firm and overcoming his fear, if there’s
any fear still existing in Brenden. When we got out of the water, I said to Brenden,
"You should call him to come out, I would go with you and we would kicked
his arse" (we have learnt how to fight in Brasil). Then Brenden says,
"No Magno, the fight here’s between Jesus and the Devil, not our punches.
I love that guy, he doesn’t know what he’s doing." Today we surfed a new
wave just me and him, a wave that breaks in front of a resort, a gnarly right
hander, 4-6 foot breaking on a dry reef, as soon as we got out of the water and
walked towards our car, a group of tourists applauded us, saying, “Don’t
you get scared?” Brenden shouts out as they were far away,
"There’s no fear in perfect love.” They invited us to their hot tub
and bought us a beer. The hot tub sits right next to the ocean so we relaxed,
talked and watch the waves. I then came home and wrote this story. I
hope you can publish this.

12-Mar-2010 04:14 PM | Right i gotta pipe up here because that is a load of bullshit.. i was out there that day sitting with that other local bodyboarder who i was staying with over there and a host of other local standups who were mellow as.. rushing solid waves out at their local break.
When Brendo had ran over that dude in hawaii then and was subsequently confronted he denyed that it was him who even did it.. which was reason that when the dude got over it when brendo went "yeah why'
Brendo you were fucking paddling straight to the inside of everyone out there.. thats no respect out at a place where your not a local.. all the dude told you to do was to go sit on the inside.. yet you mouthed off straight away.. show a bit more respect.
everyone else was just sitting there in disbeleif at the shit that was coming out of his mouth... his words and actions did nothing more than have the potential ruin shit for everyone else out there.. he should have just shut up and apologized for running the dude over
I have every respect for people that live by their faith.. but telling a local that "i don't listen to you i listen to Jesus" and "you could kill me now mate and Jesus would raise me from the dead tomorrow" what the fuck are you thinking.. the only thing it shows is a complete lack of respect.
There are idiot standups and bodyboarders all over.. i have no beef with either.. but that shit that brendo did was wack and disrespectful at a place that was not his home and should not in any way be glorified.. you should pull your fucking head in brendan. |

12-Mar-2010 05:12 PM | Feasty has it right about Brendo. While he's a great big wave charger, he has absolutely no respect for locals and part of the reason for all the tension this season in Hawaii was due to his arrogance and lack of respect for not only the locals riders but even his surroundings in littering the beach with broken leashes and not even making an effort to throw it away (a mere 100 feet from the Da Hui house no less)
It has nothng to do with sticks vs boogies. Its about respect as a guest to surf spots. You dont ever see Ben Player, Mitch or any of the boys get a lack of respect sitting deep. Because they have put in their time and earned their respect.
What respect I see for Brendo as a rider is completely taken back by his questionable character as a person. Its too bad too cause the guy RIPS!

12-Mar-2010 07:31 PM | RESPECT ! thats all i have to say , either you have it or you don't... Being the "local dropknee bodyboarder" in the story gives me a little clue as to what really happened. Brendo should have kept his mouth shut and enjoyed the waves he was getting... he could have easily showed some humility and defused the situation, but instead ran his mouth. That stuff doesn't fly on the north shore and definitely not on outer islands ! This story was written as if all bodyboarders aren't welcome and it was some HUGE statement. There was a crew of foreign bodyboarders out this day and have been in the past that have had no problem with locals. A word to the wise, if you come to Hawaii you need to show some respect in order to get any, and clearly Brendo has NOT learned that yet. I don't care what your faith is, it doesn't give you the right to be a complete jackass... Aloha from Maui |

Posted by: Bruno Palavras de Sal
12-Mar-2010 09:09 PM | After reading Kim Feast version, I still think the same way abou Brendo.
Respect is a two side feeling...
Even if someone disrespect you, you cannot go to the path of violence. You cannot force respect.
Respect is earned by respecting others. |

12-Mar-2010 09:40 PM | so.. respect is letting a bunch of assholes disrespect you just for the sake of beeing humble? fuck wheres this world going to
just read what kingy had to say about "mellow" local surfers |

12-Mar-2010 09:55 PM | brendo disrespected the hawaians because all the punches he got in the head might have hurt local fists |

12-Mar-2010 10:41 PM | nice magano, i'm sure that is a true story because i live so many with Magno ... and i hope to see u guys surfing together, because everyone knows u guys CHARGE ... sorry for the words, but FUCK YOU kim feast, with you thinking ... GOD BLESS YOU GUYS |

12-Mar-2010 11:54 PM | Yeew brendo about time some boogs stood up for themselves....the respecting hawaiians is such bullshit, last week on the goldy the ct hawaiin surfers were dropping in on heaps of dudes at straddie and d bah...if we did that to them in hawaii we would get bashed for sure.Hawaiin locals are aggresive thugs that use words like respect to try and justify there hypocitical and illegal actions.same goes for bra boy types...good stuff brendo more of us should do it.... feasty- fuck up those guys will prob burn you at north point if they go there for the qs |

why does he feel the need to preach that bullshit so much? christians are full of insecurities and need to believe in a false hope because they can't cope with reality.

13-Mar-2010 10:48 PM | feasts story only strenghts what magno said. hawaiian bodyboarders get ass raped at their own spots by local surfers and it takes a mad man to show them what equality is like . then foreigners join the surfer gangbang getting promptly on their knees .. the whole thing is really sad |

14-Mar-2010 08:00 AM | First of all read Kim Feast comment.... Then realize this break is one of the best right hand waves in the world if it's your first time there why would you try to even talk about the spot like you rode it all your life......
Honolua is a wave of three sections, the first one is where all the surfers sit to wait for the waves (because they intimidate the bodyboarders), and the second and the third section is a hollower section where the bodyboarders usually sit. This guy has no clue about the wave keep your mouth shut and show respect I don't care how big your name is our who you are... Who even invited you to come to Maui you should be honored to ride this wave not cry about it and write a whole bunch of BS..... Step no1 show respect and get respect this Magno fucker didn't even shake one Maui guys hand or say whats up .... If you think its all about you its not... Wake up this Hawai'i ...... Pro ho Bull shit..... |

14-Mar-2010 12:29 PM | how can we take someone serious who calls them self "MAUI BOI" .
who are you? Avril Lavigne?? |

14-Mar-2010 12:54 PM | Magno Oliviera had only one good point and didnt follow through with it, surfers still walk all over bodyboarders and it all stems from a bodyboarding society full of faggets who would never stand up and fight back, enough of the religious bullshit BRENDON GOD JUST ISNT TRUE, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. |
Posted by: what
14-Mar-2010 01:08 PM | lets just all listen to sam.. he seems like he knows everything and rips obviously.. and of course sounds like your typical douche and sam ships.. how dumb are you! its got nothing to do with Hawaiian bodyboarders.. they are Brazilian and an Australian. your comment is just sad because you clearly have no idea. |
Posted by: kanaka maoli
14-Mar-2010 03:36 PM | brendo and magno are stright up idiots..hope you got a couple good waves in cause you wont be catching any more waves at honolua or anywhere in maui..only thing you going catch is more CRACKS to your head!!! |
Posted by: john rose
14-Mar-2010 03:44 PM | even though i worship the devil, i have to give it to brendo in the fact that he stood up for himself, bodyboarders need to harden up! not sure about all the preaching bullshit, and im sure kim feast was on the shoulder with his tail between his legs sucking off some hawaiians while all this was going on! hawaiians are full of shit,they act like fuckwhits whenever they travel, they try to demand respect, how about earning it!!
fuck hawaii, you can have your crowded lineups. |

15-Mar-2010 05:26 AM | I recommend not pulling the Jesus card but everything else there feels on point. Jesus didnt save his ass. His higher self did. And he isnt even using it all the way. I've used my higher self several times last year and the year before surfing some of the most craziest places local wise and have seen guys going in holding their heads and sitting in the carpark wondering what the fuck just happened. I'm over 40 and 0 with this one and the funny thing is... all of us got the skills to use our hearts and always be protected. Use your hearts, not your ego. |
Posted by: john doe
15-Mar-2010 07:23 AM | so.. maui boys wanted a handshake..a hand job maybe, or some blowjob for the sake of respecting (what a great euphemism). all these local assholes acting like their in the mafia or something make me want to puke. wherever theres a good wave there will allways be these wanna be gangsters |
Posted by: conspiracy theorist
15-Mar-2010 08:43 AM | Hawai'i is about respect.... If you fly over to a Island your not from show respect to the locals..... John doe go fucken give yourself a hand job, you small fucken nothing pussy! gangsters theres no gangster in Hawai'i you small minded girl FUCK off... Stay in OZ if you so fucken worried about RESPECT... But what do I know I'm just a kook donkey fagit that wheres high shorts and v necks.... |

15-Mar-2010 08:55 AM | "YES WHY" thats like spiting in your mothers face...you burn and run the guy over and all you say is yes that was me why..no apology..all you had to do is give a simple sorry or my bad...get real your ego is to big for yourself |
Posted by: chad
15-Mar-2010 11:46 AM | its good he stood up for himself its not good he used jesus in it..stuff like this only happens at the crowded spots like pipe and honolua... |
Posted by: Xavier O'Sullivan
15-Mar-2010 11:58 AM | he ran the cunt over! what a fuckwit of course he was getting hassled, if he just said sorry or some shit then yer i can understand him talking down to the prick, but for him to straight up start preaching in the guys face, he deserved a beating. that being said, hawaiians are cunts, get over yourselves your not the best at watersports anymore so show the real champs respect yewwwww |

15-Mar-2010 10:15 PM | If Brendo had of been like everyone else in the line up and gave me and Tamayo a BJ then everything would have been ok!
but what do i know.
Im just a second rate bodyboarder who cant surf for SHIT so im gonna claim I'm HAWAI'I LOCAL, so maybe i can get waves, because i will never surf good enough to get RESPECT without wanking off some other HAWAI'I BRO... and maybe even fingering his bum so i can get extra RESPECT. sometimes i remind myself of ALI G, just worse at BOOGING
BUT HEY this is MAUI and in my hood its the mardy gras every day!! |
Posted by: poppy
15-Mar-2010 11:14 PM | Fucking 15 yr old kook groms need to shut the fuck up and learn what respect in a line up is about. If you turned up to ANY spot that has locals and act like this you will get punched in the face. Not just hawaii. But noo Brendo thinks he is the fucking man and is a smart ass to Tamayo of all fucking people?!?! Im sure you kooks who have surfed for 2 years dont know who he is but its pretty much like going to the volcom house and calling Kala a cunt. Brendo wasnt standing up for himself, he was being a fuckwit in the line up. A line up he has never paddled out in, that has a pecking order and locals who go back generations. He is just LUCKY Tamayo is a good enough guy and that it wasnt someone a bit more intense or he could have easily ended up in alot worse place than 'hell'. THERE IS A REASON NO ONE LIKES OR RESPECTS YOU BRENDON!! WAKE UP FROM YOUR DELUSIONS AND START LIVING IN REALITY. |

15-Mar-2010 11:38 PM | im not a bodyboarder i snorkel and i was just wondering do i need to handshake everyone on the beach when i go to hawaii? what about if a locals diving in a same spot can i also look at the turtle? will he beat me like crap? is there a speedo house in the best snorkel spots? please advise because i need to practice my snorkel hawaian respect skills. |
Posted by: poppy
16-Mar-2010 12:00 AM | Its not a case of needing to suck off hawaiins. All he needed to do was not be a total cunt. Forget the local aspect, if im out at a break 2 hours from my local. A guy paddles out and runs me over, then procedes to be a cunt. Im going to smack him. Not because im a local but because the cunt deserves to get smacked. Simple. Its just made 100x worse that he was a cunt to Tamayo a well respected and known local. All those supporting brendo are doing is showing their pure ignorance and probably this is due to being 12 yr old faggots they are just being retarded. I hope of these 15 yr old kids paddle out at my local and treat me like Brendo did Tamayo. Then they will see whats up... |
Posted by: non local
16-Mar-2010 12:36 AM | poppy brendo has been intimidated, insulted and physically assaulted since he came to hawaii. just because he believes the ocean is free. Not because he dropin or provoked anyone.. its only natural that he reacted like that with a guy that was clearly just waiting for typical boogie vassalage. theres different types of courage and brendo showed that he has the biggest one.
as for respecting tamayo just because he is a violent person that works out more than you and has criminal friends, well im sorry but you got your values wrong |
Posted by: poppy
16-Mar-2010 01:57 AM | Tamayo voilent? Please. If he was violent he would have squashed Brendo. Your ignorance to locals and Tamayo is just plain embarrassing and its that shit that is giving Australians a bad name. Do you really want the rep of the Brazzo's? Kooking up line ups, disrespecting everyone and being cunts? I fucking dare you to try paddle out Pipe and try on your 'the ocean is free' bullshit and see how far it gets you. The ocean isnt free, people have devoted their lives to some breaks not to have some fuckwit come and litter up the beach and be rude to the locals. Brendo lacks respect and its his fucking ignorance that gets in his way of ever being looked at as anything but a dick. Its not hard to aviod confrontations in hawaii, ive been there myself and got on fine with the locals. I distanced myself from some crowds and actually said gday and shared waves. If Brendo did the same he would have had no problems but instead he came over like he owned the joint and get put in his place. I fail to see any reason why Brendo should be congratulated for not showing respect to the true locals (and Tamayo is a fucking true local to the greatest extent of the word, im just afraid to many on here are to ignorant to realise). |

16-Mar-2010 05:31 AM | pipe locals or maui for that matter only want to catch more waves than others. thats what its all about and use a gangster vibe to enforce it. No one ever saw locals like skipy, hubb, mike, severson etc use this kind of tactics and everyone respects them. i rest my case. |
Posted by: poppy
16-Mar-2010 03:28 PM | You think Hubb doesnt enforce? All those guys would, just poeple know who they are and know to let them paddle inside. Learn about the history of your local break, put in the time and maybe you will learn what being a local is about. Its not just for the waves, its to keep order in the line up, keep the beach a safe place for the next generation. Get involved in your boardriders, look into beach preservation, make sure kids arnt going out and ruining the surf for everyone else. Learn what a local is and you will understand why they deserve respect and why Brendo deserved a punch. |

16-Mar-2010 10:57 PM | poppy your romantic legitimation efforts are useless when faced with reality. nonetheless you can do all that and never be a "local" in the surfing sense of it. you still have to work out, ride a surfboard, be angry and menacing, have lots of tatoos and maybe some police record. hope you dont raise your kids with such great rolemodels like the bra boys or the wolfpack. |
Posted by: poppy
16-Mar-2010 11:26 PM | No you just dont understand what a local is. Bra Boys and Wolf Pack may be locals but they are cunts. Most locals are not like them. |

Posted by: Diddie MYster
17-Mar-2010 02:01 AM | K, so I know both Brendo and Kim and reckon these guys are both TOP blokes.
Here's my 2cents worth:
What the Hawaiin guys have got to understand is that when for your whole life you're are given shit and looked down on for what you are passionate about you are going to over react to another guy starting over bullshit like "You're the guy that ran over me". Think about all the repression you've had to deal with and even consider the country's leadership Hawaii has ahd to deal with. Maybe the surfer shoulda got out of the way quicker, I don't know the initial situation. When it's a guy like Brendo who has surfed the heaviest waves ever surfed by ANYONE it would be super frustrating having some kook starting you over that. And, the point Brendo was trying to make albeit with overzealous Christian tones was that yes these guys are local but what gives them the right to "Intimidate" others so they can benefit themselves and their feelings of power/ego. The ocean and its' surroundings are not owned by any humans. Brendo is a crazy guy and will stand up for himself and the others that are intimidated. If he sees he can surf a wave best from a certain spot he's not gonna let some ego dudes stop him from surfing it. He probably woulda waited his turn once on the inside.
What Brendo's gotta understand is showing a bit more patience with these guys that have been brought up with ego and violence, acknowledge them and then do his thing. I reckon it too alot of balls to do what Brendo did so I hope at least the Hawaiins can respect his crazy nature for that.
Kim is just trying to be cool with everyone do it the respectful way and saw Brendo's actions differently.
I can see both sides of the actions and respect both for their balls-out actions |

17-Mar-2010 02:25 AM | BRENDON - AMEN BROTHER!
While out at Pipe ive seen Mitch get chased in by the so called locals from the puppy pak, respect for sitting deep?. You know the funny thing is the hawaiian locals on the northshore arent even from the island of Honolulu, so how can they be locals if they werent born or raised there?
Surfer smurfer...who cares, there will always be this who ha crud about it all. I just rate the locals were getting bummed cause Brendo charges and they grovel!!
Those that commented about faith and that person who says they dont believe....shame for you man, you are missing out. BELIEVE MAN

17-Mar-2010 07:31 PM | Man crew are getting so brutal and personal! My comment was not an attack on Brendo as a person, I was voicing nothing more than my opinion that his actions out in a foreign lineup were unacceptable and that his choice of words were unnecessary and out of context realistically. My comment was neither an attack upon Magno and the piece that he wrote.(i should have written things more objectively from the beginning instead of displaying emotion through my words ) I believe that there were certain facts left out of magno’s piece that contributed to the surfers outburst. Regardless of the fact that that guy did also fly off the handle due to brendo lying to him then turing around and admitting he did actually do it.. brendon’s actions before hand in the water showed little respect. You guys like to voice opinions that Hawaiians are aggressive and are cunts etc.. Get to know them. I’ve had the pleasure too and they are some of the nicest, hospitable people ive ever met.. that’s not sitting in the channel sucking them off that just how it is.. On the flipside how would any of you like it if a large majority of the surfing world descended on your local break for months at a time when the waves finally start to get good? Do you think you’d be happy? Or want to just let anyone paddle around as if they owned the place when they have done no time in the water? places in line-ups get earned over time.. that’s been around not just in Hawaii.. If you lived at a wave that claimed lives almost every year and if some idiot messed around in a line-up where if you were in the firing line you life could be on the line don’t you think your defend that break with some emotion?
I wasn’t trying to say that stand-ups still don’t try to walk all over body boarders..we all know there are hero’s out there that think they kill it and bring aggro because they think they are better than bodyboarders, but ive got good mates who are stand-ups and so do alot of other bodyboarder mates i know.. that mentality of bb vs surfers is dying.. crew need to get over it.. I was not disrespecting the faith that brendo or anyone chooses to base their life around furthermore.. just that i felt he did not need to use those words in the context of the incident and that it wasn’t justified for that Honolua bay incident to be glorified.. You guys can hate on me for my surfing or Hawaii all you want but that chain of islands is amazing.. and so are the people there.. there is more to that place than just the pipe stretch. And if you show a bit of respect for a place that isn’t your home then people treat you just fine.

17-Mar-2010 08:15 PM | If Brendo had of been like everyone else in the line up and gave me and Tamayo a BJ then everything would have been ok! but what do i know. Im just a second rate bodyboarder who cant surf for SHIT so im gonna claim I'm HAWAI'I LOCAL, so maybe i can get waves, because i will never surf good enough to get RESPECT without wanking off some other HAWAI'I BRO... and maybe even fingering his bum so i can get extra RESPECT. sometimes i remind myself of ALI G, just worse at BOOGING BUT HEY this is MAUI and in my hood its the mardy gras every day!! SEE WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS HAPPENING ON THIS TOPIC I THINK GUYS ARE ACTING LIKE OTHER BECAUSE OF SHIT TALKING........ FUCKEN HAOLES..... |

18-Mar-2010 06:09 AM | both bodyboarders and surfers get fun over the waves, we should not fight. waves all over the world are for all the people in the world, we all own the world. but respect is over all things first brendo. you should tajke your phone and call this honolua bay local now and apologize for running over him and talking like that to him. but i think you did the right think staying straight and continue surfing in the same section, but first you should apologize, that jesus bullshit is not a reason by which you should not apologize. |

18-Mar-2010 11:10 AM | he ran the guy over at pipe...its kinda reknown as being a pretty hectic place and super crowded. still should not have been to high and mighty. im not a fan of this island respect crap either but u can just rock up and snake. if you wait ur turn without being a pussy on the shoulder u will get waves and if u actually strike up a convo with someone in the lineup, most of the time they will be cool...sometimes they are just fuckwits looking for a fight but that comes with everything not just surfing. |

29-Mar-2010 09:04 PM | you have to give waves to get waves. Honolua Bay is one of the best waves in the world that doesn't break often at all, therefore if I was a local out there I would obviously be at the top of the pecking order.
On the other hand even if Brendo did disrespect the locals and even if he did litter on the beach I don't think bodyboarders will get catergorized as disrespectful cunts. |

Spot on Chris....what people need to understand is that Brendo's inner strength is drawn from his belief, and it is natural for him to use it in critical situations, whether he is attracting beef, or throwing himself off a ledge. You might find his belief in Jesus to be a joke, or embarrassing, but that is your trip, not his. Why should any of you pass judgement on his belief unless he is directly preaching at you? What you might see as ego or preaching, is actually Brendo using his conviction or "higher self" to confuse the fuck out of the local to the point his "weaponry" of fear tactics and aggression were useless...the guy had no power over Brendo because Brendo wasn't playing the fear game...if someone is trying to intimidate you or force you into something and you can name their game, most times they will back down because THEY are weak. Respect is as respect does....
I am consciousness, all that is, was, and ever will be, and I am immortal. I just happen to be experiencing myself through this mortal space suit which will die one day. However, my greater being will not, therefore I have nothing to fear in this life or the next, and my purpose is to play this game, be positive, love, and grow as a soul entity. Now, who wants to hang shit on me for preaching? |

31-Mar-2010 11:45 PM | Oh, and Brendo is right...this world is surely in the grip of a satanic bunch of luciferians who want nothing less than to drag humanity down into a cesspit of negativity and slavery. Just not sure if Jesus is the one to save us from it, my feeling is that we need to take a certain amount of responsibility to save ourselves. Sometimes we need to own our shit rather than look outside for redemption. Sermon over. |

23-Apr-2010 04:00 PM | I'm from a place where there are a lot of visiters and few guys who are local, Now most the guys who call themselves local and claim they own the waves are generally blow ins with anger problems and fiberglass boards to run you over with. The few true local guys are dudes stoked on seeing the sport growing and groms enjoying waves. We always have visitors and sometimes pros come thru surf our waves drop in on us and show us little ''respect''. When Brendo and guys filming The Road came thru they showed more courtesy and respect for us then any pros or visitors before them, they didn't preach just hung out and booged. Judge for your self and maybe even rip me apart, this isn't a pity party just an observation. |

26-Apr-2010 01:58 PM | what brendon has represented to us here is how powerful our minds really are. brendon seems to be approaching situations (as mentioned above) as if he's being protected by some higher being. if brendon began to observe nature and study history, science and social sciences he would see how many flaws their are in religion (predominantly christianity) and how religions credibility is slowly dieing thanks to rational enquiry and scientific methods. but brendon has failed to even consider a different alternative but his own view that HIS god happens to be protecting him wherever he goes. i do recall suicide bombers thinking the exact same notions before they reach for allah. but his approach with 'jesus' by his side seems to be producing an altered state of being. he is charing harder than ever, he is living life without fear. this is how unique we as humans actually are. we can place so much faith in something that has no credible proof or evidence of its existance yet convince ourselves that we are pretty much immortal. however, this is not new. for millennia religious ideoligies have dominated society, to which has resulted in some pretty outlandish followers like our fellow chap brendo. reality usually has the last say though, just like we have seen with all religious fundamentalists world wide. this type of attitude does not really progress us humans in any way. the reason it causes conflict and tension is because it undermines evryone who doesn't folllow your 'vision of christ' and that my friend is is good ol' arrogance. why don;t u practice what christ preaches and treat everyone equally and with love and respect. its quite amusing how religious fundamentalists usually contridict their own behaviour and never see the beauty of irony. i'm an athiest and i see us all as one. we all evolved through billions of years of natural selection, we all share similar genetic codes to all that of the animal kingdom and even some plants. so why this arrogance that we are seperate from everythin and are above all? this is why we as humans have powerful minds because our perceptions can convince ourselves that we are above all, seperate from everything, and powerful and invincible like brendon illustrates. but we are very much similar. hindu, buddhist, christian and muslim whatever. give logic and reason a chance and leave the ideoligies behind. they're outdated and holding us back from unity.
PEACE! |

28-Apr-2010 06:52 AM | Once anyone reaches this level of self discipline, mental toughness and devoted focus on success then good luck to the person trying to hold them back ! Those of you who know Brenden well, were most definitely smiling as they read through the article. Brenden has reached a point in not only his surfing, but his life that his concern for the consequence does not enter into the picture, try livin like that ! and his devotion to live an honorable and high-principled existence just brings respect with it. For sure he will take blows of criticism along the way but If those folks stopped long enough to catch some of this guys gifts they not only would be humbled but might even learn something. Keep pushin bren and stay true to your values.
Much Respect ..

so crazy, go brendo!
