Six Years On: Global Surf Community Remembers Infamous “World’s Worst Surf Fight”

Описание: It may be hard to believe but in two weeks it will be exactly six years since Australian Mikey Wright went toe-to-toe with Jesse Mendes in a Western Australian carpark after a drop-in by the Brazilian, a tussle that soon became known as the “world’s worst surf fight.” 

As the surf coach Jake “The Serpent” Paterson explained at the time, Jesse Mendes had become infuriated by Mikey Wright’s hogging of the best waves during a North Point swell and subsequently dropped in on Wright who then, swerved around Mendes to find the tube.

Later, Mendes, those thin, cruel lips shaped into an ominous smile, gave hell to Wright in the carpark with consecutive light blows of his surfboard as well as two pushes in the chest, the second momentarily knocking Wright off his axis.
