Personally I think what a waste of resources. As much as the media hype surf rage incidents up they are from my experience not that regular.
Honestly what a load of absolute bullsh!t. FMD as Dazza said what a waste of resources., if they really want to make surfing a safer place get the wankers on the jet skis out of the line ups.
Natural selection will look after the rest.
How the hell do you 'target' surf rage anyway ? Just sit around waiting for a stink to erupt ?
Bloody politicians involved I reckon. You guys got local elections coming up ?
they have lost control of the real crims
^^^^^^^^
Aint that the truth, armed hold ups at an all time high on the coast and they want to target schoolyard punch ups!
wouldn't mind getting into a "high-speed chase" out in the water with the surf police. reckon i could out paddle those horses.
Police on horses, Police on trail bikes, Police on mountain bikes, maybe we need a few coppers on SUP,s patrolling the lineup at LM and Snapps keeping everything under control a mandatory Tazar if you drop in
Would love to get into the crack plain clothes LM assault team, you would be able to pick them out by the little aerial poking from the back of their Redline
We are into love and peace making with our fellow longboarders who carry a stick to smack those pesky little shortboarders around to head
I blame the total lack of respect shown by all these young people, oh wait hang on thats what my parents used to say about us when we were young. Although back then we didn't carry knives I guess.
After analysing and scoring the fight i am awarding the points decision to team esky lid after the deduction of a point to team stand up for the ambush when team esky lid still had a flipper on.
I also note the multiple right hand combo from team esky lid and the take down which for mine sealed the fight win.
congrats to all!
Sad and most proberly true

any where the bikies are not you will find the cops ...hahahahahahahaha
So it's not safe to walk the streets at night - It's not safe to work anywhere that's open to the public after 7pm at night - It's also not safe to drive your car on any Gold Coast road without taking yours and your familys life in your hands BUT it's now gunna be safe to surf the southern points with such a visible police presence .....
WTF
When are these overpaid, overweight and overbearing boys in blue actually gunna do something constructive in the community
Yeah yeah I know that the pollies make the decisions that to a certain degree influence where the police resources go, but police hierachy need to pull their fingers outta their as#es and start making a stand and "serve and protect" where they are most needed - on the streets and in the suburbs
NOTHING new surfrage on the Gold Coast,its always been there,boardriding clubs & members usually show the ocean occupants the respect they deserve.
meh, fights have been going on the goldy for years on the beach. As a young grommet that was also a Brisso I got very good at dodging large rocks thrown by the lads down at Greenmount. I surfed Byron for the first time in many years over christmas as was just blown out by the number of people in the water. We now tend to surf down the south coast of NSW, truthfully if there is 10 people in the water its crowded. I tend to agree that the poor coppers are overworked and underpaid and do a dangerous job that is necessary for all of us, and the govt doesn't make life any easier when we have to have a 30 sec grab to put on the news when an election cycle is approaching.
