Mauritius Outrage
Thursday 12 July 2018 When a Capetonian who has lived on Mauritius and has been respectfully surfing Tamarin Bay for 18 months, asked a local why he hit his 13-year-old son, this is what happened.

The White Shorts are drawing some interesting attention to their jealously guarded spot Tamarin Bay and to themselves in particular. After they smacked his 13-year-old son at the bottom of the point (for the crime of riding a foamie board and filming him and his mates trying out Jamie O'Brien style barrel tricks with his GoPro), the Capetonian paddled to the attacker and told him he was crossing the line beating up on kids.
The local and his mates decided they didn't like what he was saying. Next thing he was being held down and punched. He didn't retaliate. As the Capetonian says in the video, it's not just about localism but thuggery that needs to be dealt with. If Mauritius Tourism asks visitors to come surf beautiful Tamarin Bay, then there's obviously some internal conflicts of interest that need addressing, apart from police engagement and anger management therapy.
