Racial friction rages on Gold Coast waves

TENSIONS between local and Brazilian surfers threaten to reach boiling point, with reports of heated arguments at surfing breaks and even a knife incident.

Brazilian and local surfers are frequently abusing each other to secure the best waves at crowded beaches.

Duranbah, Snapper Rocks, Currumbin Alley and Burleigh Point have been the main areas where clashes have occurred.
