CJ, recognize these?After days of you and your crew ignoring basic manners and showing only contempt to everyone else in the water, the Hand of 2nd Point Justice was left with no choice but to take dramatic action.
I regret only that I did not act sooner.
Scorpion Bay was filled with surfers complaining about the behavior of you and your crew. If pissing off virtually everyone was not enough, watching you bitch out an old man who you had burned over and over again was.
Of course, we didn't take your boards, just your fins. We did it very carefully, so as not to cause any permanent damage.
It was a pleasure to watch you surf... just somewhere far from Scorpion Bay, please.
If you do come back, please consider a little respect.
HAVE SOME THOUGHTS FOR CJ OR ON THE HEIST, PLEASE POST A COMMENT.

Being a surfer from Santa Cruz I would like to further drive home the point that CJ IS NOT FROM SANTA CRUZ!!!! He was a 19 year old transplant from inland Atherton (as previously stated). This fact continues to be brushed over since it is not too hip or marketable.
Please don't lump in in the entire region of Santa Cruz and/or longboarders in with a tranny. Thank you.
As history has shown when you assume, you make an ass of u and me.

"suckin' cock for rock"
202 of you and what have you come up with?
Slurs against old men, young men, longboarders, shortboarders, boogieboarders, kooks, pros, gays, emos, punks, drinkers, smokers, photogs, hippies, yuppies, Santa Cruzians, southern californians, valleys, Mexicans, and (lest we neglect to mention) women and children.
Pretty pathetic.
Very good. But do not forget pot bellied sea planes, sell out, fat surf forecasters on jet skis, and guys who can't pronunciate because they are sucking cock.
CJ's hung like a fucking horse. It's big and always tasetes sooooo good. When he pounds me in my asshole, it feels so good. I fucking love CJ nelson. I WANT CJ's COCK AGAIN!!!!!!
No, I'm serious.
Drop knee shredders attack!
-A poem by The Berserker
Take off, slash it back-
Drop knee shredders are on the attack.
They come from Oregon, they come at night,
And take your fins son, they've got the right.
A wave swings in, far and wide,
Drop knee shredder is ready to ride.
Around his board swings, he looks down the line-
In his mind... everything's fine.
See, because when you've caught a wave and are paddling back,
Drop knee shredder is on the attack.
No matter how many cameras are on the beach,
These boys are about to learn the lesson he will teach-
Back paddling, my friend, is just a game,
for those who are nimble footed and seeking fame.
When Sprout 2 comes out, in all it's soulful glory,
At least we will all be able to tell this story-
About the time at "Scorps" when the night was black...
And Drop knee shredders were on the attack!
wOw
that's all that's left to say...
Wow, I agree with waylon...
what a clusterfuck
So, wait, let me get this straight...
A barely-known, "pro-longboarder" got "too many" waves and then yelled at an older kook that was drop-knee longboarding in front of him?
So, the drop-knee'er took the "pro-longboarder's" fins, and made a blog about it?
Is this correct?
That's it?
208 posts?
LOL.
well, 209 now.
210, but who's counting.
Oh Beserker, how you made me howl
About 3 drop-knee shredders at night on the prowl
Let's take a roll call of this ordeal's cast
So the lazy new readers can get it fast
There's CJ and his chick, a menacing pair
And his crew who had too much fun, it wasn't fair
For the dweebs and the dorks with the local militia's ear
They rattled their sabers to cause great fear
You had Warren and Jim and some others too
All from Hood River, probably a slew
Which guy was Jim, I can't quite recall
Pretty sure he was the one who kept pestering us all
With smiles and conversation, at first I was torn
A suckass and snake I'm sure now, since the day he was born
Then there's the cast of many an online badass
Since I can't see them, I'll just give them a pass
Guys like Marseille and the ex-Marine
Perhaps huge arms, no neck, nor brain between
I hope that Jim he's quite content
He's incited even death threats from this incident
But I ask you not to forget a few fictious devices
I used to diffuse what some call a crisis
There was Cody the Seal and Taz Bozworth The Third
Who embodies Evil--the pompous corporate turd
Perhaps I embellish, perhaps I'm mistaken
But it is to him surfing's soul's been forsaken
Jim and his pals met Mike Parsons, and Sean Collins too!
Quite impressed with the Andinos and that plane they flew
Tried hard to talk to CJ, but he wasn't as receptive
Maybe because among his skills, he's quite perceptive
So ol' Jim was left with one thing to do
Take something away from the CJ crew
Now you got your 8 fins, but hey, mine's still in tact
But one belongs to a lovely kindergarten teacher, that is fact
So as all you jerks stand proudly by your mural
Just remember, faults can be plural.
Oh, but it’s so much more, Eric (from Morro Bay?). Some of us, stuck at home with a 2 1/2-year-old and flu — and confused by the Humboldt Trainwreck — found a convenient scapegoat. For a precious few hours, I knew exactly what was wrong with surfboarding, the West Coast and the world over: It’s those goddamn, trying-too-hard, nouveau-punk artist longboarder/clothes designers from Atherton, Orange County, Santa Cruz and wherever else. Haha. Those fuckers did it.
It felt secure knowing that, the same way it must be comfy living in a simple world neatly divided between Durango-driving, surf-clothes-wearing Pearl Jam listeners and Eastside bros. Then the dreary voices of reason had to butt in and ruin it.
I’m not sure why everyone jumped on this. People probably experienced a sense of recognition, harking back to the time the Reef team ganged up on Salsipuedes, poaching all the waves and good camping spots, etc. Or we felt protective of old Dad, who’s living down in Baja. (Beware: Mine’s only drunk sometimes, but he’s always armed. And even with his beatnik past, he never really “got” cross-dressing and guys with painted nails.)
The testimony seemed pretty damning and the allegations brought up some powerful pet peeves: elder abuse, exploitation, pros swarming remote pointbreaks, surfer illiteracy, over-the-top affectations, cigarette butts, massive egotism, fad drifters, etc. Shit. If someone could have confirmed that those little dastards were wearing V-neck T-shirts, playing with their cell phones or making “sick, bro” surf talk, I would have had to track them down and kill them myself.
OK. We made some wild assumptions. And the truth is: I couldn’t pick CJ out of a lineup and could barely distinguish an emo from an emu.
And if that CJ e-mail is real, which is still hard to believe (although maybe the cockiness and screwy spelling and syntax were just hipster devices), and he’s happy people will know that he (and, allegedly, a friend for backup) don’t take any shit from 63-year-olds with bum hips (no offense, Warren), well, that IS punk rock. Maybe not in the politically aware, affect-positive-change sense, but ... a guy who isn’t worried about a legacy founded on threats to senior citizens? Well ... that guy truly doesn’t give a fuck. Punk rock indeed.
And while the exposure meter is still running, why not take it a step farther and rough up a noisy infant or mouthy toddler? This time going one-on-one. Hardcore Act III: He and “Robin” could fight their way out of a pack of riled-up kindergartners. That would really put a bee in the squares’ bonnet, boosting the street cred even more. Captain Fin, RCVA and Hurley sales would soar. Punk rock.
I’m still holding out hope that this whole “incident” was a clever ruse to drum up business — to lure affluent, angst-ridden youths away out of the suburbs and away their 6’2”s. After all, these asymmetrical-hair guys know how to build surfboards and start businesses, which takes a lot of smarts. And most of us would have never heard of Captain Fin Co., Gato or “Cleve” were it not for this alleged incident.
No matter what, the joke’s on me (and probably you). I paid to see one of the CJ movies. In other words, I bought him those earrings. And we all just devoted who knows how many words to keeping him in the spotlight.
But it’s been fun, even if a lot of us are seriously questioning our “punk-rock allegiance” and wondering if we’re worthy of our old Stiff Little Fingers and Sonics cassettes. (Could anyone loan me some Pearl Jam?)
Apologies to any innocents caught in the crossfire — even CJ, if it applies.
I’d even like to take a moment to recognize the undoubtedly greatest noserider ever to hail from Atherton, California. Having spent some time inland myself — although not as much as Eric, haha — I can appreciate how much work CJ must have put into his trade. He can do shove-its on his longboard. That's got to be hard. So ... cheers. High-five — right in the face. Just kidding. Maybe ...
Parting thoughts?
1. Your singing’s great, but your monkey’s on fire.
2. I have consulted my scriptures, and nowhere does it say, “Thou shalt not bring the hammer down.”
3. The poetry is really reviving this thread.
Love,
FP
FP, it's been fun sparring with you on this blog. I was trying to think of ex-pro, surf magazine writers/editors with the initials "FP" but all my friend could help me come up with is Fabio Paddaratz. I'll forgive you for saying I have a weakness for generalities if you forgive the comment about Hot Topic. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm going to go take care of my dad who just had knee surgery now.
To Poet Anon,
I wish I had the great idea to steal your fins, but alas I did not.
I am wondering if you could spend some of that energy actually thinking about what this thread could have been about.
Respect
Humility
Common Decency
What is means to be a “Pro Surfer”.
Also I at least have the balls to identify myself. Do you?
Ideas, Jim. That is what this is all about. Ideas...they are wonderful things to have. As are balls.
...and I'm scratching the surface of both as we speak, I might add.
The wrongboarding "Subculture."
Ten years ago they where riding longboards that where more like shortboards. Now the ride "heavily glassed wrongboards" they all found out riding a 70's single fin was cool 8 years ago. Now they ride fishes. They also make movies of these "movements" and tell us what we already new. Then claim it as it was there's. I have know problem with makeup, big longboards, shitty fin companies, twinsers, bonzers, beavertails, 18 fin 4 foot shorboards. But what I really want to know is when are you guys gonna start a movement riding three fin shortboards with clark foam blanks. That is no longer. Sounds like we need to start another movement.
After reading all this shit, I still don't know what EMO means! Would someone explain cuz I'm an old kook, Thanx....
Fellow Ball Scratcher,
Glad to hear yours are below your belt unlike most of the posters, or is that poseurs, here.
Jim
Open a word document, type your diatribe, click spell check, cut and paste, THEN post.
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE! :-)
I am late to the table here but this whole thing is awesome. a good amount is BS, but there is enough here to verify what I have know for a long time: MARK "CJ" NELSON is a self absorbed ass whipe. This won't hurt his "career" because he never had one. Longboarders don't make money, just like to feel important by having stickers on their boards and the occasional shot in that crap sack of a magazine: Longboard. Luckily, Mark's father, who is a great guy from what I have heard, supports him with a roof and enough cash to pursue his dreams of being a beach bum. .... This whole incident should really be a warning to other assholes like Tyler Warren. I surf San O' and Church a lot and have seen enough to CJ's antics there to make me puke, but there is another kid that will likely have a similar blogg written about him. He surfs for Hobie surfboards and is a two faced ferret. Smiley and shy on land, over amped pissy face in the water. Hooting and hollering people off "his" wave.....which he gets plenty of...then yells...he kinda small to be acting like that......Anyhow, thanks for the laughs while I counted down Thanksgiving dinner.
Likewise, seal clubber. Haha. I enjoyed the Hot Topic comment. Sure, I own Crass’ “Stations of the Cross,” but no, I’ve neved made it all the way through in a single sitting. ;^) Regarding your “weakness,” this blog is one giant Jenga stack of generalities, and we’ve all stuck a few in there. Looks like you have work to do, by the way: Didn’t I hear something about Tyler Warren biting the head off a live snowy plover?
Captain Fin: See that mad-as-hell thruster guy a few posts up? That is your target market right there. If you can get that guy, well ...
Curious “Old Kook”: Here’s a decent emo primer (for the entire family), I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nRNYG_xM2U

Well, Happy Thanksgiving to the Apathetic Apostle; Captain Emo and General Cody; Jim, Warren and all of Hood River, Ore.; Gary Murphy; the greater Palo Alto area; JP; the eight famous fins; Santa Cruz; the MC5 and Pearl Jam; painted nails; aging pranksters; two-faced weasels; emus, Eric; “heavily glassed wrongboards” and 6’2” thrusters; Warmjet; anonymous cloaks and poets; khaki-wearing, dune-buggy driving “explorers”; ball scratchers; friends from the tennis club; Peter S. from Oceanside, California; the Berserker; the true locals; twats; hula; pinchis gringos; and EVERYONE and -THING not mentioned. Even the Billabong seaplane?
So everyone please make up (no pun intended) and remember: “Blessed are the cheesemakers.”

FP- You sure know how to hula!
ol' uncle young guy
Marco, you sound as contrived as CJ does.
Keep it real dork.
SB is a magic place and sadly no longer that much of a secret. The ever growing number of lucky ones that get there and can catch a few, know this.
This last Sept. a small group of us made that long drive south. There were about 100 folks from all over the world camping/surfing with all levels of skill and attitude represented.
We had 2 weeks of a mild s-swell for all to enjoy and that’s what we all did, enjoyed the surf together in and out of the water. There was plenty of waves for everyone.
Over the years I've found the majority of SB visitors to be a mellow, well mannered group who understand the rotation and respect it.
For any surfer over 50, like myself, that has been surfing most of their life and have had their eyes open should not be surprised by whatever happened in the water down there.
I’ve surfed with CJ in the line up at Malibu and have seen how he can and sometimes does exhibit poor judgment and disrespect but he in no way owns an exclusive on such behavior.
I for one think the payback WAS VERY COOL and if his threat was real, CJ, you were lucky that's all that happened to you bro.
Anyone that has seen the CJN Show know that's what it is, a put-on, a show for the cameras, a way to stand out in a field of many, more talented but low profile surfers. Let's be real, business is business. DORA was right; the commercialization of our tribe’s lifestyle will be it’s downfall.
And in the end, when all of humanity is long absent on this earth, most likely due to our own intolerance and greedy pursuit of more and more $$$$, the waves will still roll-on, pitch and break on the dust of our bones.
Happy holiday shopping..
MHL
Real? You came here, to an Internet “discussion,” looking for real? Haha. If you were after cock jokes, I could understand, but real?
Real is five days (and counting) of being cooped up with a 2-year-old while dealing with the flu, squandering his nap time on a surf blog, then coming to the hard realization that I jumped onto a smear-the-queer-style Internet dogpile — complete with anonymous threats, nonstop labeling and so much hatred — pretending to actually know something about people I’ve never even met and events I didn’t witness (although on a jury I’d still take the pranksters’ side). “Contrived” is too kind of a word. Try “pathetic.”
Real is people driving thousands of miles only to end up fighting over waves.
So, for now, screw “real.” Can I please have my Internet bullshit, no matter how phony or contrived, for the next day or two? Till I’m fit to return to the real world?
If so, thanks.
And Happy Thanksgiving weekend, wiggler. <--- no phoniness there
i love the hula
so that's it, it ends here with "i love the hula"?
Or that CJ is a self absorbed ass-wipe who is supported by his dad.
Marco Dorko, please don't ruin this blog with talk of your child being sick and you stuck in the house.
When I read that I felt so sorry for you. I mean You have a kid and it gets sick and you have to take care of it. Hell ya that's real. Real lame.
Driving a thousand miles and fighting for waves is real. Talk about hard times. Makes me want to cry. Can I borrow a tissue.
MD: if you came for cock jokes here's one:
my cock so big it's sponsored by Billabong....
this blog is a hoot and all but it reflects just how far apart we can all get even when we share something as great as riding waves. think about it, riding fucking waves!! even after 40+ years of it i'm still amazed by it. it should be an uplifting experience, raising ones consciousness BUT NO we have to deal with all this testosterone driven insanity. you can play hockey and football ya know.
everyone has the right to exhibit PHB (poor human behavior) and some excel at it as this blog reveals. BUT when you start throwing threats or blows it's gone way too far. if there is one thing we all should have learned by now is that violence or the threat of violence should be reserved as a LAST RESORT.
my point above was let's get REAL about how we behave in and out of the water. if you think RAEL is acting like a fucking asshole or you THINK you have some moves or you like yelling threats or snaking waves because you do that at your home break or because your semi famous, STAY FUCKIN' HOME.
it's the rare asshole at SB that shows PHB in the line up. some think they're slick and are pulling something, some feel they are more "local" then others (you all know who i'm talking about)some are just stupid and some just don't know the deal. it's a fucking line up. get in line. you'll get a wave. if you don't play nice you'll hear about. if all that happens to you is something as benign as this FIN PRANK consider yourself lucky. it's mexico.
MHL
that joke should have read:
my cock so big it's sponsored by Captain Fin Company....
MHL
i liked it when it ended with
"i love the hula"
oh well- i had a fun surf today, a nice dinner and a beer. how 'bout you?
OK. That's not a real joke. Cough. Sniffle. Sob.
But how about this one:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Give up?
Because it was stapled to the punk rocker.
Hahahahaha! Barf.
Have a just-average run through Christmas.
Love,
Marco Dorko
Oh. Since you were wondering: MD's finally feeling fit to hula, if anyone else is game.
Who will organize the Scorpion Bay Hand of Justice Internet discussion board luau? It's going to be the real deal. Everyone will set aside their differences; swap hugs, fins and jokes; and, of course, hula the night away.
Alright a party. I will ask my mom if I can come. Maybe we can have a lugie spitting contest?
arco Dorko Peter Porko,
'Tis I, Eric in Morro Bay, that provided you with the clarity you so temporarily lacked.
This whole thing reminds me of that Kala-vs.-the-Texan-haole-off-his-meds incident.
You know, two morons interacting don't always produce the best results.
Emo-Dora-posing-"pro"-longboarder-from-Atherton vs. bad-hip-can't-really-stand-up-so-rides-on-one-knee-old-guy? On the same wave?
Please.
Blog on, NorCal, blog on.
I heard the guy stole his own fins, something about competing with Brittany Spears for attention.
CJ Nelson is an emo dork, make-up wearing, ciggie smoking, Atherton-born, Dora-worshipping, barely literate tool. Per his own rebuttal email, his "concervitive" hating clothing "sponcers" should be proud. They should spring for a Hooked on Phonics CD before replacing his fins.
What an entertaining read!!! Was CJ the guy that was wearing leather with 80's glasses that matched his chicks??? The same guy that looked like he and his chick took turns cutting each others hair while tweeking out together??? If so, AWESOME!!! He sure was entertaining! One of those guys could really play the guitar too. Good job CJ, way to stir up all this conflict!!! Although if someone really had a problem with you, they should have just beat your ass, but maybe they were scared of your motley crue? So what's worse??? Taking waves from an old man or being a theif??? Guess Karma will work itself out for all involved! Good luck guys and thanks for the laughs!
you guys are all kooks
that's the same shit they pull in town...
Waaaaaaaa! He took my waves!!!
Waaaaaaaa! He took my fins!!!
Here is your culprit:
http://www.stokesville.com/team_cj.html
First of all, Longboarders share waves right? Im a short boarder but probably longboard better than half of the longboarders in the lineup just from learning on one as a kid.
Pro Longboarders are fucking kooks for the most part. Boards with stickers all over them trying to be shortboarders on a longboard. Whats up with that. Maybe you all should take a look at yourselves in the mirror and just say it "Im a kook longboarder"... Joel Tudor even tries a little hard to be a classy/classic longboarder but I bet you anything if he was out that weekend he would've tried to calm the situation and surf with peace in mind.
A note to people who own there own surf companies. You dont own the water fuckfaces... We pay your salary so you work for us. Show a Barney/intermediate/pro respect because if it werent for all surfers in the water you would be out of business. That goes for Al Merrick, Rusty, Bob Hurley, Gordon Merchant, Danny Quock and all those dildos too...
To end this comment: Pro-Longboarders are like Brazilian shortboarders. NOBODY FUCKING LIKES THEM!!!
Ok, now I have better things to do.
Like take a crap...
I LOVE it,, TAKING the FINS..LMAO
Yea, their is Brick named Kieth who surfs at CJ spot Capitola, and his girl frind Gale cheers him on, Wave hoggs,, Nobody likes people like CJ Nelson and Kieth who try and Bully other surfers..call waves, burn good people and think they are something they are not, Only fool deceives Themself..
Cj needs his Big Head Poped and for his Hometown teacher KiethThey BOTH need to be ran out of Capitola, all they do is cry about everything that is wrong,, they are water pollution.
I feel for CJ Dad, who is a good man. CJ it is time to give to surfing, you have taken enough..
Kieth needs his toes ripped off..LOL
I LOVE it,, TAKING the FINS..LMAO
Yea, their is prick named Kieth who surfs at CJ spot Capitola, and his girl frind Gale cheers him on, Wave hoggs,, Nobody likes people like CJ Nelson and Kieth who try and Bully other surfers..call waves, burn good people and think they are something they are not, Only fool deceives Themself..
Cj needs his Big Head Poped and for his Hometown teacher Kieth ; They BOTH need to be ran out of Capitola, all they do is cry about everything that is wrong,, they are water pollution.
I feel for CJ Dad, who is a good man. CJ it is time to give to surfing, you have taken enough..
Kieth needs his toes ripped off..LOL
Well ok. Nicely said. Twice.
I Believe pigs fly,
CJ, I have some of your Movies and I use to think you where cool and ecentric, But after reading your Email,
" People Kissing your ass, Pussy Shit," bla bla bla..
And after reading what the older man wrote,
Now I see you in a different light, you are a egocentric JERK,, I am Thankful you do not Surf Santa Cruz much anymore,
Most of the time you surf southern California..
CJ, Be dam THANKFUL,, the older man was not my Dad; If it was, " I WOULD KNOCK YOUR TEETH DOWN YOUR THROAT," and for your bi-bolar friend Who got the 400 bucks from the older man, Just call me KARMA,
My advice to you CJ NELSON, do the right thing,
APOLOGIZE,, give the ole man a CJ NELSON board Sighn by YOURSELF and give it to him,
Learn from your mistakes,, Because if you do not, You will need to get a REAL JOB,, because your Ass kissing pussy FANS,, pay your bills..
I Beleieve, if you keep up your Satanic ways, you will be shitting your own teeth someday soon, and you will be the babyseal that you wrote about..
I will be looking for you at the point, and I will be riding my CJ nelson baord,, it is getting painted
and it will read on the bottom," CJ NELSON SUCKS,"and in small print it will say, CJ NELSON is a pussy and picks on old men,, and if you do not like, we can go to the beach,
I will stay anonymous, just because I am smarter than you,,
APOLOGIZE, learn from your mistakes, do the right thing, or get new teeth and a REAL JOB,,LOL
KARMA
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A WONDERFUL THING,,
CJ Nelson is just another in a long line of confused, lost, and unbalanced surfers from the Santa Cruz area. Nothing a little counseling and a smoothie will take care of.
Sounds like CJs friend was the Jerk,, But not fighting is the best way,, glad nobody got hurt,, But taking the Fins, thats GREAT !!!! Someone thinking outside the Box..
It was uncool CJ barked at the older man the next day,I have surfed with Cj and he was way cool with me, and I am slow getting up and fat and everything else, But CJ Nelson was giving and cool,, everyone has a bad day..
But Cjs friend Mike is trouble,, thinks happin in the water,, I have had my BRAND NEW board Skagged before, been hit in the head with a board,, I never got angry and demanded money from a Kook,, it is call surfing and things are going to happen out in the water, We all were KOOKS at one time or another.
I do not think the older man had any Malice when he ran over MIKES board, it was an accident, and that is part of surfing..DEAL WITH IT
I agree with the above statement,, CJ should give the older GENTLEMAN man a CJ NELSON board and make things right,, This is what cool people do.
Cj do not be like your Friend Mike an IDIOT, and if someone drives a SUV to BAJA, do not sterotype them, I thought you stood up for being ones self,, do not trip up other people, it not cool, and pick better friends, Ones with a IQ above 80..
The taking of the fins is justified and funny, and will never be forgotten, The older man came out on top, and Cj and his friends look like fools, If you make a mistake, take steps to correct, this is called being a man, and not a punk. WHo knows CJ if you do the right thing, Santa might send you a couple extra fins this year for bing nice..
CJ you have always been cool to me, I do not like whats going down, make things right and keep on surfing,,you have a wonderful life,, but cutting people down who like to watch you surf is infernal,
Are you guys in the second grade???? For god's sake,learn to spell(or at least spell check). What an embarrassment. No wonder illiterates like CJ are idolized.
gosh it was cold in santa cruz today- almost too cold to HULA!
The smartest people in this world are bad spellers,, You can be a bad speller and have an IQ over 150
So if your hangup is spelling or spell check, your just shwoing off, you probably can NOT surf that good, and your a MEAN person deep down in your soul..finding a weakness and picking on it.
Go do a cross- word puzzed DORK,
What a DORK,, spell check, bad spellers, LOL your just a bone head who can spell and write good, which had nothing to do with surfing, or how the real world works..
SPELL CHECK should HONK ON BOW BOW, or buy a rabiitt Vibrator !!!!
Big waves Wednesday in Santa CRUZ,, surf city USA!!!
Isn't picking on bad spellers the same as picking on bad surfers?
iv seen this cj guy a couple of times (@ the beaches),and his whole song and dance makes me SICK ... he stands for everything i hate about surfing nowadays,he thinks he's the boy,and he surfs a longboard like he is on meth...spazzola ,he has to have the uglyest style in santa cruz..it would be great if he moved to L.A. thats where he belongs,on skid row...strong work cj,your a legend.keep doin chop hops on your longboard ,your killin it......p.s. cj your not welcome on the southside,if i see you ,you catch cracks so piss of punk rock fag spazz longboard maggot..i hope i never see you again.
izint imprapur speeling huard two reed?
IT WAS MIKE BONE HEADS,, NOT CJ WHO HAD THE TRIFF WITH THE OLDER GENTELAMaN...
But the taking of the fins,,
That is like Led Zeppelin it will stand the test of time..LOL it's great, funny,,
Just think of all the shit that went through CJ and his crew head on the long trip home !!!! LMFAO
Next time I see CJ and the boys, I will just grin and maybe laugh out loud at them and point, HAHAHA
and say, " NEED A FIN BOYS " lol
education is expensive no matter where you get it..
and if your going to pick on my spelling,, Go wank off on your Dog or something
Interesting post. What's cool is that through all of the bitterness regarding pro surfer arrogance, newbie entitlement, and greedy 1st world surfers is a dialog between surfers about lineup etiquette in a world where our surf zones are rapidly deteriorating. What’s not cool is that it has to come at the expense of an otherwise good guy like cj on blog centered around a fiberglass hostage situation.
Although i wasn't down there during the incident, i have surfed in baja for extended periods of time and know cj and that crew of longboarders. To be honest i didn't spend the hour to read all of the posts but the heart of this thread seems to be searching for the proper etiquette concerning a new breed of pro surfers. They are the ones who go to great lengths to different yet walk the line between self-proclaimed rebels and industry reps not unlike the boys on the CT.
I consider myself a better than average log rider and find often myself not waiting my turn at crowded lineups. The dirty truth is once things reach maximum capacity it turns into a shit fight where only the strongest survive. It becomes a power game and just like in business the only way to get power is through intimidation (paddle battles, threats) or seduction (fame, a smile, a friendly chat). With the nature of surf forecasting these days I'm sure that swell was packed down there. Pulling up to corduroy wrapping into pequena after an all-day drive followed by a good 2.5hr brain rattling via the north road will give any surfer a red-hot boner. Add to that a little Kodak-courage and I understand, although not condone CJ’s aggressive behavior.
Surfing is a self-empowering activity, and if you're good at it a feeling of superiority wells up that is present in ALL surfers. Some pro’s do a better job of concealing this feeling than others in fear of pissing off their sponsors. Those who don't, well their sponsors conceal their bad deeds because branding is two-way street and tying your corp. identity to an imperfect person can call for a little media censorship from time to time. CJ and that crew of guys are operating on a different level. They aren't pulling in the same salaries as the guys on tour; truth is all of those surfer/punk/artist types are barely scraping by. They have no union like the asp to give objective worth to their passion and only a handful of the medium-sized surf co's are buying the “nu poop/data slide your nasal passage away” so they have neither the pressure to conform to corporate agendas nor the huge media screen to mask their bad deeds. Most surfers know that a lot of the big guns on the wct are dicks, but its not in-the-know surfers who consume ripquikabong boardshorts like hotcakes at their local malls either. The fact is that gossip in these tight circles from which cj-like surfers claim their humble livings can really be damaging. If cj did those things he would have naturally gotten his payback, but playing karma police on the web from the comfort of your desk chair is cowardly and immature. And having over $60,000 of non-surf related property stolen in my short life, I detest thieves. I’m not calling for censorship-I think communication is a good thing and even better when done face to face in sincerity. I am merely offering a voice of moderation in an over-zealous crucifixion over a single incident in which the supposed guilty party committed no acts of violence.
If you were a person of real character you would have intervened at the time of the situation saving the elderly man the humility and respectfully putting cj in his place if in fact he was out of line.
Interesting post. What's cool is that through all of the bitterness regarding pro surfer arrogance, newbie entitlement, and greedy 1st world surfers is a dialog between surfers about lineup etiquette in a world where our surf zones are rapidly deteriorating. What’s not cool is that it has to come at the expense of an otherwise good guy like cj on blog centered around a fiberglass hostage situation.
Although i wasn't down there during the incident, i have surfed in baja for extended periods of time and know cj and that crew of longboarders. To be honest i didn't spend the hour to read all of the posts but the heart of this thread seems to be searching for the proper etiquette concerning a new breed of pro surfers. They are the ones who go to great lengths to different yet walk the line between self-proclaimed rebels and industry reps not unlike the boys on the CT.
I consider myself a better than average log rider and find often myself not waiting my turn at crowded lineups. The dirty truth is once things reach maximum capacity it turns into a shit fight where only the strongest survive. It becomes a power game and just like in business the only way to get power is through intimidation (paddle battles, threats) or seduction (fame, a smile, a friendly chat). With the nature of surf forecasting these days I'm sure that swell was packed down there. Pulling up to corduroy wrapping into pequena after an all-day drive followed by a good 2.5hr brain rattling via the north road will give any surfer a red-hot boner. Add to that a little Kodak-courage and I understand, although not condone CJ’s aggressive behavior.

CJ- don't bring your shit to Newport anymore either. You and your crew are not welcome. The next time I see you there, you may get back to your car and find some more fins missing or a flat tire or two or me just standing there waiting for you. Santa Cruz misses you.........go home.
For those of you that don't know, CJ won't need to get a job because his trust fund if full up. No, I'm not kidding. He keeps his silver spoon in that banged up van of his.
Isn't his silver spoon right next to his velvet pillow? What a fag!
If this is true that CJ comes from a well off family then he really needs to grow up.
CJ this is funny shit,,Do NOT take any of this pussy talk personal, This is Tex and I got your back, Because your 'Ohana is way cool, and Arrow boards ROCK !!!!
Fuck with CJ nelson, and I will sic the Hounds of Hell on you, Fuck the siver, I got a GOLD spoon..
Aloha
Tex
Tex,
gulad ewe aur suo sic. Siver izint valouble aht awl. U rok two.
I surfed with CJ plenty here in SC and no troubles at all with him.
Know this old, young, ugly, hot, man, woman surfer, you/we all screw up doing something we are passionate for so forgive and forget. To all of you like me killing time posting to this it is truly a waste of time for us and will get nothing done. The old guy needed to move on before he hit someone else, again. CJ was fine to communicate how he did and the guy needed to pay as well. I will say that I have regulated plenty of kooks that needed to beat it with either niceness first or assertiveness second without a fight. Some people just don't know how to read the lineup and find the right place to be. Enough!!!
To the crew that took the fins, very weak move, talk about karma you will have yours I am sure.
By the way CJ surfs just as well on a fish, shortboard or your mom's ass as well as he does on an LB. For me I don't like LB's, too slow.
To the old Oregon guy, find another bowel. Don't impact others experience due to your challenge. I wouldn't it is not a mindfull thing to do.
WEST SIDE! EAST SIDE! Mid-Town!
We are all so special! :> Not!
West Side- East side,
Karma- you want to talk karma? How about when some younger, stronger, more fearless and better surfer than you shows up at a place you surf a fair amount then tells you to leave the water because he thinks you are a kook and getting in his way?
Since when did you own the world?
2nd point is an old man, beginner, kook wave about 90% of the time anyway.
If CJ is so hot why did he choose to surf the most crowded wave? Could it have been more important to be seen?
How does one surf a bowel?
Alright guys, I was also surfing second point when all this was going down.
Thing is, they drove just as far as anyone to get some WAIST HIGH waves that you old kooks ride on your KNEES. Who cares if they are younger, more agile, and far superior surfers. Big whoop. I saw CJ let numerous of you idiots ride his boards, for free, for hours at a time.
You guys are so whack. Figure it out.
so if everybody loved CJ so much why didn't anyone loan him a fin or a board?
I heard the lineup was so much more relaxed and fun while CJ was sitting on the beach whining that it so unfair that people are mean to him.
You're over it
the guy wears make-up?.... ,that says it all...
CJ Nelson needs to take a long break from American and Mexican surfing.
We are over his Camera attempts.
Just watched the movie Sprout and CJ and the rest of his longboard cohorts surfed like a bunch of trained circus animals. Their antics got old real quick. On the other hand, Joel Tudor and friends surfed beautifully. Smooth, flowing, and effortless; a pleasure to watch. I guess ones character and personality are reflected in their surfing.
billy is a moral agent.

CJ.... vai a rubare.....
CJ go stealing!!!!!!!!!!!!
great!!!!well done!!!!RESPECT!

hey i get to be the first to bash c.j. in 08....yes...c.j. your a maggot, and you will still be a maggot in 2009 !!!
Hey C.J. what's up man if you're reading this? This is Rob N. from 15-20 years ago, I don't know if you remember me, but we surfed a few times together back then and with your dad. I was the guy with the 69impala that you could stick 3-4 shortboards in the trunk. I remember driving you over to big creek and some other spooky north spots. Hey you remember that time I was in Safeway near your house and was fucking wearing wetsuit booties? I don't no why the fuck I remember that shit, but they're tearing that safeway down right now and I had that memory passing by. I was pretty fucked up then (and now). Hope things are good. I have a fucked up shoulder and don't surf as much, mainly doing the road bike race thing. Anyway, you were a pretty cool kid back then and am sure this baja rumer thing is false. Good job on being the pro surfer dude thing too man fuck, wow that's pretty cool.

Our trip to Scorpion Bay of Losers
We were having the greatest experience of our lives enjoying Mulege and then surfing remote breaks on the west coast. My beautiful lady and myself stumbled into Scorpion Bay late in the afternoon - too late to get back to any accomodations comfortably. So we talked the owner of the campground and decided to stay in one of the palapa's. So far, so good. The surf was maybe 1 to 2 feet, very inconsistant with one woman sitting alone in the lineup. I am a partially crippled 52 yr old, white haired Grandpa. I paddled out deliberatly sitting 50 ft. away from this one Woman. Every time I tried to paddle into a wave she would almost hysterically paddle to block me. I paddled 100 ft. down the line and inside to try to pick off something. She followed and blocked every wave I tried to catch. I know it is dangerous to say anything to these ex-pat losers that have decided to protect their wave from intruders. But really - an old guy just trying to have fun. She followed me almost out of the lineup trying to keep me from catching a wave. So I got out and walked down the beach. As I was paddling back out several young girls paddled out with a young man as their guide. The woman who was harrassing me paddled back out and took the best take off position. I left. When I did- within a few minutes everyone left the water. So much for sharing with strangers. We later went to eat at the restaurant and I unknowingly ask if the wife would cook my fries extra crispy. She went into ranting hysterics. "Stupid gringo" was all I could glean from this rant. I could tell that these were religious people and said, "I bet you praise Jesus on Sunday and then insult and berate the stranger that has done you no harm." The man that was sitting with the woman that had blocked me in the afternoon spit on the floor. Time to go. When I read blogs where these lowlife hypocrites steal fins from the supposed discourteous intruders - I must say, you get exactly what you deserve. I would have never dropped in on anyone. I can barely get up after many surgeries. I just wanted to enjoy one afternoon in a great poinbreak. The surf was almost non-existant and yet these animals went to great extremes to keep from enjoying a few moments.I have traveled around the Pacific alone for a year and it has always been my experience that it is the losers that can't face the world from which they ran that are the haters and troublemakers. They corrupt the local people and convince them that they are the good Americans and the ones that follow are bad. My answer is," You take what you hate with you and that is yourself. So,I warn others that go to Scorpion to have a good time-but,be aware - the undercurrent is ugly. Also, I drove the gravel road from St. Inez across to Mulege. Unles you are truly prepared -don't do it. I have been on roads in the most remote places on earth and this was the worst.

This shit is so fuckin funny. You are all so lucky to even be surfing in the first place.
And to all you shit talkers....
Let he who has not sinned, cast the first stone.
any takers?...didn't think so
Peace Brother
_MAR_
Sorry i didn't hear about this sooner.
fucking hillarious*
*hillarious that people are still talking about it, this shit happens up and down the coast on every south swell.
Kind of late to post...Just wanted to say, this type of thing isn't what surfing is about for me. CJ I think needs to do 90 days, of no surfing since this is typical surf junkie behavior. he needs help. He's obviously powerless over wave hogging. When I hear this kind of thing, and I've seen it before, you just feel sorry for them, and lose all respect. I used to be a fan of his in my youth, but after witnessing his arrogance firsthand once I was no longer mesmerized by any noseride of his. Surfing has been at times thought of as mystical. So many things that were once so sacred, such as surfing, have been corrupted over time, and are no longer pure experiences. A noseride is only as good as the person you are. A person riding a wave is only as good as their spirit. Cj if you read this, just want you to know, you have the power to change, and make ammends with your actions today, and not embarrass surfing further.
To the 52 year old man who recently posted, I'm sorry for your experience but it's too bad you didn't post this earlier to quell some of gang mentality that this internet event garnered. You're one of the few people who validates the other side of this overblown story. I think I know exactly who you are talking about, and every time I think about this incident I think about the people who think they call the shots there who did so much to try and defame and intimidate someone in the public eye, the same way they act in the water. And they expect people not to fight back or surf "their" spot? Right.
Who are the maggots that think they own scorpion bay? driving around in their pos white van, with their stinkeye all over everyone, retro seventies style? If you've surfed scorp in the past year or two you know exactly who I'm talking about. Their sense of entitlement is truly amazing. I've heard they're some trust fund babies that decided to set up shop in san juanico and make life miserable for all out of towners who try to surf. I'm not one for violence, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they get what's coming to them. Prob the same group as discussed above... Maggots...
Dude, I know exactly who your talking about. I was there last fall and it was ridiculous. They stay in the water all day long, paddle around everybody and if you take off near them they go grazy and scream at you. Some other idiot who can't even surf follows them out every time too and paddles around everybody. Your right about them getting whats coming to them. My friend has property there and he says the whole town is sick of always having to surf with them. They are working on kicking the idiots out of town. It turns out one of them is supposed to be crazy and the other takes care of that one and they get paid by the government. They don't even live in the u.s. so it is some kind of scam and the town guys are going try and get their money shut off. Sayonara
I say, score the fin so it's unusable, drill a hole, and hang 'em high for all to see.
Ancient territorial marking.
I will not buy anything from C.J. Nelson and his sponsors-- ever-- and I'll be sure to badmouth his name to anyone who'll listen. Your skill level does not determine how many waves you deserve, even though most good surfers think this is true. The posts from his crew on this board pretty much tell me everything I need to know.
Santa Cruz surfers are tools, and everyone knows it. They give themselves nicknames like "Skindog" and then think that's cool! Toolbags! C.J. is not cool, what a douche, I'll be happy to cut in his wave if I ever see him in the lineup.
Final Verdict: CJ was/is a dick, and shall be made uncomfortable should he show his face at SB again. May god have mercy on his pathetic soul.
P.S. Change is coming to this wave. It used to be a secret 30 years ago, now it is a seasonal surf slum of some serious size. It needs to be cleaned up, i.e. more $$ charged to stay. Hate to say it, but current campers are litterbugs (dog sh!t everywhere!) and lineup is too crowded with people who- good or bad surfers- all share an illegitimate sense of entitlement. Human nature ensured we were going to ruin it at some point. So prepare for the resort, because the status quo ain't working out. I wish it could be another way, but with people like CJ in the world...
cj is one of my favorite surfers to WATCH. but i've heard that he can be a jerk in the water that is super funny.
Pues no entiendo por que ustedes san ocupados con CJ pero no con el robo?
Accrosing to the facts noted by participants here and at 2nds in San Jaunico the story is quite clear but in general your comments miss placing the guilt on the party who is at fault, clearly.
CJ may have been in error and he likely was by his behavior though his error is one of etiquette which would be resolved through discussion. The elder surfer who hit the paddlers resolved his issue with them on the beach by paying for the surfboard. He may have paid too much but that was his choice.
The unresolved issue and the most serious is the theft of the items. This is a serious offense as it involved entering someone's camp, removing the fins and stealing them. This is a criminal offense which may be prosecuted by years in jail as it should be.
As both a US and Mexican citizen I am most offended by the criminal theft and by its affect on our community. Let it be known, that we know who stole the fins and that the crime shall be prosecuted fully before the judge in La Paz and that the chamacos who stole the fins shall find themselves in el carcel for likely a number of years as the normal charge is 5-7 years for such a crime.
Furthermore anyone associated with the stolen items, holding them or assisting is a party to the crime and with evidence of their involvement they will be equally prosecuted.
Unlike many of you who so casually miss the point, the affect of crime is not missed upon our state and the ejido who are fully embarrassed and angry to have this negative criminal action be advertised so completely with disrespect for the law.
At this point there is no known offense of the victim and his friends only that the criminal derelicts are known and shall be prosecuted as long as it takes and to the full extent of the law en el carcel.
Cuidate,
Pablo Federico
xDDDDDDDDDD
Thank god only a relatively small percentage of yanks have a passport and are too small minded or just fat arsed lazy to travel imagine how fucked up the world would be if they all travelled. Its just a shame that the ones that do think they have a right to lay down there law in others countries. you sad little men
should happen to all longboarders everywhere
I'm gonna hula........ Effin excited too....!!!!!
He's a gross surfer and the fins are also junk.
Besides, they should have slept with their boards.
