Wave hog Mikey Wright got into a minor parking lot scuffle with fellow Quicksilver team rider Jesse Mendes! While this wasn’t a serious fight both surfers walked away with brused egos.
Mate told me a story about being in the lineup 20 odd years ago at hossegor when tom curren was out , it was big and super heavy. Curren he said was literally 20 feet inside the deepest person and was having any wave he wanted. I dunno if youโve got that kind of skill I think youโre entitled to take anything you want , Mikey was clearly being a bit greedy but isnโt really doing anything wrong , nothing to stop Jesse paddling deeper ? North point doesnโt strike me as a place where you get gifted waves , certainly no need for the aggro
The guy who was starting a fight was the guy who was dropping in on the other guy. If anything the guy who got dropped in on should be mad. In the end the guy that deserved the wave got the wave and got a good ride too. The guy starting the fight was just mad coz he can't surf as good as the other guy
Yeah the dude that dropped in (white/yellow) board doesn't understand simple courteous and rules in a line up! In Hawaii where i used to live would have been a beat down had he approached and bumped the dude no doubt about it.
Based on what I heard from EVERYONE who knows the backstory, Mikey repeatedly backpaddled Jesse. NOT cool. Jesse got sick of it and went to deservedly stuff him.
Not clear what the argument was about, second dude (inside guy) clearly dropped in on the other guy…..what's the issue? Get better and learn to drop in deeper at the peak and don't be a bitch when you get out-positioned!!!!
Nicely done Mikey. With a sweep through the line-up, outpaddling everyone else is legitimate, and you're entitled to get waves. Not taking off too deep, you made the wave, and foiled the drop-in. Mendes could be Charged With Assault, for this idiotic temper tantrum, and praise again to Mikey, for showing restraint and good humour. Mendes probably still hasn't gotten over it, but he really should wake up to himself.

That looked like a blatant drop in . Did I miss something ?
No wave hog. Mikey had all the right to take off deeper. Lost respect for Jesse!
fuck jesse mendes is a prick. Never seen him on tour….

No matter what anyone says sometimes some people deserve a universal ass kicking. Mike should of swung when in he came in his comfort zone.
Crazy fight. Not sure how anyone survived.
fwoof, dangerous fight . . are both people okay? did they go hospital ? :O
F Jesse!
Not a fight just a discussion
Minute board poked on me I would break board in half, then continue the conversation
Pussys! The dude in the beard should have laid him out after being pushed and hit by his board at least 4 times!๐
I donโt know how he was so chill after he walked up to him and stabbed him in the leg with the surf board
Who has preference in that wave? And why?? Thanks

Children.
Sorta like watching two chicks…. mikey shouldve threw the left cross! Theyre actually team mates, wouldve traveled together and maybe even friends?
Hope they had enough room to land the helicopter for the med evac that was brutal
Other dude is lucky. Mikey Wright is ex SAS and can kill a man with a toothpick.
Itโs insane that someone can withstand a pro surfer, striking them like that.
Iโm just glad everyone involved is okay !
Thatโs the real win here ๐คง
Try that in a small town.
Honte ร lui tu respecte pas les rรจgles et tu la ramรจnes pitoyable
The guy who dropped in and got left in the dust is the one mad?
Where is the full video?
UFC should sign these guys
Fight? Where?

As sterling says, "you know the rules", shouldn't cut people off, but he ended up getting a bomb wave. Shoulda been enough to let it go…
What fight? 2 pussies talking about how their feelings were hurt. ๐ซต๐
Jesse is being a little bitch , lucky he did not get his ass handed to him , if youre in position then your in position and you get to go. tough luck
Mikey would destroy him
That was cute
Dude that dropped in on the guy was the one who got huffy puffy.
What's up with Mikey? Karma Krush will come his way.
Kooks canโt fight which is why he trying to take off on the guy anyways heโs a KOOK lolololol
that was not a fight.
Sick barrel lame "fight"
Boo Hoo. His wave @gotbarreled. Maybe your rich dad can explain dropping in and getting smoked won't hold up in court.
If that's a fight, then I get into a fight every night with my 2 year old

Did they end up making out our salsa dancing after that?
Jesse Mendes dropping in on legends just like his ugly wife.
