Americans and Australians surfers don´t waste one single opportunity to yell about how aggressive surfers like Adriano de Sousa, Gabriel Medina and Filipe Toledo surf in ASP heats (just to name the most quoted).
Well, is that really true?? Not in my opinion! Brazilians are very competitive surfers, but they are good sportsmen. But international media IS really biased about them.
Let´s show some great examples of how surfers worldwide can be very bad boys in their heats?
And about hassling?? Well, Dingo Morrison (AUS again) is well known for his competitive acting:
Here, Dingo pulling a Hobgood leash in Pipeline!
Hassling?? Don´t you know the Goldie crowds, mate??

CJ is another one who´s not affraid of been aggressive and yell loud in heats
Aggression in the midle of a heat, Australia
Joel Parko in Portugal
As long as the media AND online surfers keep the focus in how "aggressive" brazilian competitors are, surfing world will get the same old image!! Absolutely unfair with the new great generation of brazilian surfers around ASP.
Why not to show things in surfing how they really are? The whlole frame?? Let´s stop bias and prejudice and make our sport more democratic and free for everybody!
