“Should Start a Surf League Like UFC Maybe”: All Hell Breaks Loose Over Almost Clashing Boards in California

Surfing is a very risky sport, but equally fun to watch. Like other sports, it also has rules that are not supposed to be broken.

Moreover, many times it also leads to beef that can go to the next level. In a recent incident in California, two surfers engaged themselves in an argument over messing up with surfing etiquette.

Recently, the surfing community in California witnessed an online beef between “surf cities” Santa Cruz and Huntington Beach players, Nat Young and Griffin Foy. The latter took the matter to social media and called out the former for his mistake.

Surfer Foy urges Young for a face-off

In a recent match in California in November, surfers Nat Young and Griffin Foy competed against each other. However, while surfing, Young ‘hit’ him with water, which is against surfing etiquette.

Later, Nat tried to escape from his wrongdoing and gained people’s sympathy. It led to people giving death threats to the 21-year-old Griffin Foy.

Griffin, who addresses himself as Foy, took the matter to social media for a clear explanation. He wrote a long paragraph on Instagram along with the video where the two surfers were competing.

The video clearly showed that Nat tried to crash on Foy. The 21-year-old called him out for messing with the surfing etiquette. He said that this form of surfing is quite local. Foy wrote in his post on 20 November;

“Dude acts like this and then has the whole city ready to fight or kill for him and come after me! Whatever, I’ve had hits on my head before, nothing new. I know how to move.”

Furthermore, Foy urged the starting of a surfing fight club to handle beef between players. In fact, he also wrote that he was ready to invest his money into something like that. In the end, Foy mentioned:

“I wasn’t too  concerned if I ran into him in the process of teaching him how to surf… we should start a surf league like UFC maybe @surfingfightclub and with mma to handle beefs.”
