Gold Coast News, Racial friction rages on waves

TENSIONS between local and Brazilian surfers threaten to reach boiling point, with reports of heated arguments at surfing breaks and even a knife incident.

Brazilian and local surfers are frequently abusing each other to secure the best waves at crowded beaches...

Racist graffiti has also appeared across streets near the surfing breaks.

A Snapper Rocks Surfriders Club member, who did not want to be named, said local surfers were sick of Brazilians surfing 'aggressively' and 'in packs'.

"Every time I'm in the surf there's always arguments breaking out between your daily surfers and the Brazilians," he said.

"They are really rude and arrogant.

"Brazilians are really aggressive when it comes to getting a wave and they show no respect to the locals who have been surfing these breaks our whole lives.

"The blokes are the worst as they come out in packs of five or more."
