Thanxs for your mail and concern, they are very welcome. I will be glad to hear from the others Taiwan surfers. I definitly need some good advice and would like to know the procedure to sue those guys. As we do not have a Taiwan ambassy back home (Reunion island), would it be possible for you to get me in contact with procurator in Taiwan. I would also like to get in touch with the Quicksilver team manager. I agree they do not sponsor a good person and something should be done.The trip back home, on the next day, was a painfully and awfully longtime journey. 謝謝你的來信和關心, 如果能聽到其他台灣surfer 的聲音,我會很樂意. 我勢必需要一些好的建議也想知道能提出告訴的程序. 我們在台灣沒有大使館(Reunion island),有沒有可能你們能幫我聯繫台灣的檢調單位. 我也想和Quiksilver經理聯絡, 我認為他們沒有贊助好人並且應該要做些處置. 這趟回家的路上, 第二天非常的痛, 是趟很糟的長途旅程.
So here is what happened:事情發生的經過是這樣 Gugu dropped me a few times on good waves. On one of them he nearly jumped on me, so i told him "to watch out". as an answer i got: "It's my home here". I said, "yes i know but do you think you have the right to be dangerous and unrespecfull". He answered: "here my home, you go home" I said: "Whaou, it's fucking racist". Gugu 搶了我幾次的好浪, 其中一個他幾乎要跳到我身上來, 所以我告訴他”要注意” 然後他回答”這裡是我家”, 我說”是, 我知道, 但是你認為你有權利做危險和不尊重的事嗎” 他又回答”這裡是我家, 你回家” 我說” 哇! 真他媽的種族歧視” Then he started to speack in Chinese. Obviously i did not understand. The other surfers seemed to tell him to calm down. Then, he went out of the water. 然後他開始說中文, 當然我聽不懂. 其他的人好像是在跟他說部要激動, 然後他就上岸了 I finished my session, went out and walk up the stairs. A came and asked me what happened in the water with Gugu. He tried to calm him down. We did not have the time to finish the conversation. Gugu and his 2 mates jumped on me, armed each one with a steal bar. They smashed me twice on the left hand side of my back, A managed to stop 2 guys and received a few heats. Then a heat came from the back, right in my head. I fall down on the floor, bleeding, almost uncounscious. A asked them to stop, then they decided to go for it on my board, which is useless now (but that's a detail). 我衝完浪上岸, 走到階梯那邊, A 來問我說和Gugu發生了甚麼事, 他試著安撫Gugu, 我們還來不及說完, Gugu和他其他兩個朋友就開始打我, 用鐵棒. 他們打我左邊背部兩次, A試著阻止其中兩人, 並且也被打了幾下, 然後背後有人朝我的頭上打來, 我倒在地上, 流血, 幾乎昏迷過去. A 請他們住手, 然後他們決定轉移去打我的衝浪板, 現在板子已經不能用了(這是發生的經過)
As a result of this useless, stupid and over-reacted attack, I've got a head injurie, a broken bone underneath my eye, half of my face is purple-black and double size, half of my back is also purple-black and my left knee is painfull. 對於這個愚蠢又沒有必要發生的反應過度衝擊, 讓我有頭部創傷, 眼睛底下骨頭破裂, 一半的臉頰都瘀青, 我的左膝又非常的疼痛. I'm a 45 years old guy, I've been surfing for over 25 years, I've got a family, two kids. As a fotographer-journalist I've been travelling for years for work and surf and I have never ever been in such a violent situation. 我是個45歲的老人, 我衝浪25年, 我有家人, 兩個小孩. 我是個旅遊攝影師, 經年在旅遊工作及衝浪, 但是我從來沒有遇過如此爆立的狀況. I do need a hand to get threw this. We have taken some pictures of my face. 我的確需要幫忙度過這個事件, 我們有拍照我頭部受傷的狀況 I get better every day. 我每天都有比較好些 Once more, thank you very much for your email. 再次謝謝你的來信 Back home I have not told anyone about this attack. I said to the ones who asked , that I had a surf accident, banged my head on a rock. And this , not to arm or make any bad image of Taiwan. 回到家鄉, 我沒有告訴任何人關於這個攻擊事件. 如果有人問, 我告訴他們這是衝浪意外, 我的頭去撞到礁石, 因此, 對於台灣的形象不會造成任何負面影響. Laurent
