SUmmarizing:

this guy Sergio Malibu was a local surfer, friends with rickson who was also a local surfer. There was going to be an important surfing championship and some hawaians were in town.

So this guy sergio malibu was surfing, and for some reason his board went and hit this guy's Byron Amona in the head. This guy gets pissed off, and even though it was obviously not intention, he breaks Sergio's board on purpose. When sergio comes out of the sea, he realizes the guy broke is board and is telling him "go home go home".

At one moment he says "when we went to hawaii, they were very tribal, very local and would treat us badly and break our boards, but we wouldn't allow them to do this at our home"

They leave because the guy was huge and meet up with rickson and relson, who goes "lets go talk to him, dont worry about anything we'll take care of you". when it came to the moment, Sergio got scared, and rickson and relson were like "why didnt you trust us? don't worry, etc"

So after a while they go to where the hawaiians were staying with like 15 people total and Sergio went in and sneaks Byron Amona's board outside. They start breaking the board and then the hawaiians come outside when they hear the noise.

The huge hawaiian comes over and Rickson tells to Sergio : its with you now. Sergio tells the hawaiian "you broke my board, you broke my board, do you remember?"

At that point rickson, who was like 17, steps forward and says to the hawaiian "he's my brother", referring to Sergio malibu (with a terrible english of course, could say very few words). "Fuck you I wanna break your face" (rickson says its the only words he knew in english back then)

At one point (and this if funny if u understand portuguese) the hawaian says, Ok, lets fight, but one on one. and the brazillians go like "he wans mano a mano, mano mano! lol"

so rickson chokes him out

After a while they meet again at the surfing event or something and the guy is looking at him, tells people he's gonna get rickson before leaving. Rickson later at home, tells this to his family during dinner, with his father and brothers. Helio gets super interestend and goes like "oh so he wants to fight you? where is this guy?" so the family then goes to the hotel where they were staying and Rorion, who spoke more english, asked him if he wanted to fight rickson. If you want to find the kid right now, you go right here on the beach and you can fight to the death if you want to. But if you touch that kid (rickson) or if he gets hurt while you are in the country in some sort of coward way, you can be sure that youll never leave here, and will be burried here

Its a cool story to hear, specially the way they say it, about the time when jiu jitsu was kind of unknown even to brazilians.

this is the continuation! really cool

its cool how rickson says that this story was important in the surf/jiu jitsu relationship and that he even started getting better waves and more priority when it was crowded, because he became more known

Anyone wanna take a shot at summarizing part II?

Also, I'd love to hear if this affected Relson in Hawaii at all...

Basicaly Sergio Malibu tells that he was very impressed to see Rickson a skinny guy (mind he was just 17 at the time) beating a huge guy like Byron.

Byron then basicaly tells that he was very pissed off because of this, and that he became very aggressive to anyone who talked portuguese, especially when he meet them in Hawai.

Rickson also tells a story of a brazilian guy who meet Byron once in the waves, and he asked him: "are you brazilian?" "no I am french!"

Then Byron goes on kind of apologizing for pass events, tells to the cameraman that at the time he didn't know he was fighting a Gracie, much less Rickson (he does now). After that he is very humble and sincerely looks kind of scared that Rickson is still pissed with him, and is very humble with the apologizes.

Rickson then talks about how this is all past, that he now goes to Hawai and has a nice environment on the beach, and that if he would cross pathes with Byron he could even become his friend.

He also tells how he became more respected in the surf community after that event (no doubt why lol)

Love the old days stories, fucking wild wild west!

You know, these guys who stepped up back then are very lucky GJJ was such a gentle art. You go to sleep, wake up and that's that.
