Yesterday during in Billabong Pipeline Masters quarter-final heat one between Dean Morrison and Damien Hobgood there was a little tangle up that beach reporter GT Tomlinson described as “a Burkhart” as seen in the film The North Shore.
CJ Hobgood posted a short video clip on The Goods website with the following comment:
For the record I have a great deal of respect for dingo and the ASP judges, Damo didn’t even want me to put this up. . . However I think this was something I couldn’t brush under the rug. . . LOL peeps
In his post heat interview the Dingo the the two were getting pretty physical out there and simply “got tangled up” because they were scrapping so hard. The fact that Dingo had priority at the time also entered into the discussion.
From our view, if the arm tangled in the leash had been on the back stoke (like Dingo’s right arm in the photo below) then the tangle claim would have had more validity. It appears, however, that it’s Dingo’s outstretched arm that is “tangled” in the leash.
Check the comments for the entire dialog.
