So, evidently there’s a new form of revenge for misbehavior in the line-up these days. It’s called “de-finning.” Allegedly CJ Nelson & his posse were reeking havoc @ Scorpion Bay in Mexico recently, & a rogue group of surf patriots known as the Hand of 2nd Point Justice passed karmic judgment on them by stealing the skegs off their longboards. A blog was even created to document said infamy: scorpionbayjustice.blogspot.com

This act of sabotage represented both a statement on the CJ crew’s ultimately poor surfing etiquette & Scorpion Bay locals’ general disdain towards them. Then, turns out the fenced goods were quickly posted on San Francisco craigslist for a measly four dollars a piece: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/478810282.html

Thievery is kind of a touchy subject, one I normally wouldn’t address. However, there’s a real element of humor & irony that warrants mention here. The Hand of 2nd Point Justice lifted the fins in hopes of creating some controversy & exposing the CJ crew’s surfing transgressions. What they may not know is that CJ himself actually owns a fin manufacturing company called Captain Fin. Co: www.captainfincompany.com

So, even though the Hand won this battle, they apparently haven’t yet won the war. Stay tuned to see what happens in the next chapter of this struggle for west coast peak consideration...
