“Hello. I surfed the bunk bed (Beliche) this summer but I was very unhappy because I got kicked out and attacked on the beach by two local brothers they barely spoke English. They said they were training for the world tour and they we're pros and they wanted to be the only ones to surf there because they were going to be the first on the contest. I said I was just a person who wanted some fun waves, they shouted I did not understand that English. The locals here are obnoxious.”
