El Porto, in the surfside Los Angeles suburb of Manhattan Beach, is a funny place.
On average, it’s not a good surf spot, when it comes to quality; yet it’s often swarming with crowds. It does have its days, mostly in the winter, but they are fleeting. And because of the crowds, there’s often altercations…in the water and on the beach.
Like this one below, between a grown woman and an alleged 15-year-old boy surfer.

From the video alone, it’s unclear exactly what went down.
A drop-in in the water turned quarrel on the sand? A collision? Is the woman carrying a knife, or a surfboard fin, per the video’s title – “El Porto Girls will cut ya.. adult girl attacks 15 year old boy.” – suggests? Did she cut him? Stab his board?
Many unanswered questions.
Luckily, the poster of the video added some context in the comments:
“The 15-year-old is a competition level surfer. The girl let’s just say is not. From what i gathered from some surfline rewind cam vid is they bumped boards as they took off right next to each other. You hear him say ‘you bailed your board.’ He made the wave she didnt. I think she got a ding in her board and got out of water.
“There is cam footage of The kid getting out to apologize and tried to offer to get her board fixed but she didnt want to talk and was yelling at him and went to her car and got that knife or whatever it is.. i been surfing porto for over 20years never seen that chick before. That kid is good kid maybe a bit aggressive In wave count but he gets alot of waves because he good at surfing. Hes got some sponsorship and rides for jon lalaane surfboards. He’s actually the nephew or something of comedian Pauly Shore. He was way more polite then i would have been especially at 15.
“The cops were called but she was gone and they said there was nothing they could do. Haven’t seen girl back at porto since but we haven’t had waves there in a while Now.. being a little cunt or not shes an adult hes a kid and to pull a knife or whatever that was is alarming. She walked down the beach and did that premeditated wasn’t a heat of the moment type thing”
Wild stuff.
Stay tuned for updates.
