Surfers In The Line of Fire

by The Editors on December 31, 2009

Surfers out at Kauai’s Targets on Christmas day say they were surfing through a hail of bullets according to a story on The Garden Isle.

A former professional surfer, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal, said the surf spot known as Targets and Rifle Range is one of the five best waves in the world when it breaks correctly (usually just two to three times a year), and Christmas Day was one of those rare days. . . “There was [sic] actually bullets flying overhead while we were surfing. Not cool,” he said. . . “It was downright scary,” said the surfer, who hid behind his board and was able to catch a ride from a friend on a Jet Ski to leave the area he had been surfing some 200 yards offshore.

Not so strangely officials deny that any shots were fired into the water. . .
