Friday, December 11, 2020

Sunny Garcia brought the intensity of a Pipeline lineup right up on the sand in 2007. After crossing over in their heat, Sunny attempted to choke Brazilian surfer Neco Padaratz in the water before punching out his fins and chasing Padaratz up the beach and into the judges tower. Padaratz hid there until things cooled but required a police escort out of the contest site. Sunny never got a Pipe Masters title, but he always brought the fire.
