Meth Dealer Gets Jail

why are there so many tweakers in Santa Cruz? It's like no one learned from the movie Lost boys. Did Corey Haim die in Vain?

to bad some of the kids he introduced to meth won't be "free" in 2 years...

Repeatedly busted and didn't learn. Next time he gets nabbed it won't be with just a one-year pricetag. Maybe a lot of the SC surfers feel that to control the lineup they need the asshole boost that tweaking gives them.

another SC douchebag goes down. one less a-hole clogging the line up with a bad attitude.

fin, how do you know he "introduced" anyone to meth? Is that an assumption on your part, or do you know them personally?

I'll be the first to admit I don't know the guy, but I do know some people who choose to use meth. If people want to do meth in the privacy of their own homes, let them. And if someone wants to provide them with it... let them too. Good God. Isn't this supposed to be free country?

If he sold to minors then of course we all know that is wrong. I'm just wondering what you're basing that accusation on. There are lots of "drug dealers" that don't sell to minors. Now excuse me, I'm going to go tend to my cannabis plants so I can help my friend beat cancer while trying to avoid Obama's goons.

Sure Ruffo is a junkie who screwed up and rightfully deserves what the law handed to him. Meth is a beast that I have seen take down a few friends over the years, and it is nothing pretty, to say the very least. It leaves permanent scars. In regards to Ruffo in the water, in my opinion one of the coolest of the upper echelon from Santa Cruz to surf with. The guy has always been cool to me, actually sharing and giving waves to me on numerous occasions over the years. I can't say that of most of the guys from Santa Cruz. Maybe my experiences are different from others, but his generosity and heavy ripping goes a long way with me. I hope he is able to remain sober, or at least stay off the meth. He seems to be on the right path. I wish him all the luck in the world.

Stay off the meth.

Thanks- The Beard

Nice, beard!! Heartfelt praise for a strayed soul. Seriously!...but really now, the waves are Ruffo's to give away?

Sharkturd-

If a wave comes and there are two people in line for it, and the person with the right of way, says "you go", then yes this means the wave was given, and on more than just a few occasions.

Thanks for your concerns.

no probs, beard. And again, props to you for your concern and nice words for the guy. I don't know squat about him. So, mine isn't so much concern as it is about annoyance over words that are frequently misused by surfers. Words that convey a sense of ownership or entitlement over the ocean sometimes just gets the old hackles up. I knew what you meant. But there's no sense in diminishing your presence and right to be in the lineup by saying somebody gave you a wave, regardless of who it is. I reckon a more descriptive way to say it might've been that you and Ruffo "traded waves" because I'm sure you "gave" him a few as well.

When he finishes with War Child, Bodhi should stomp this scumbag.

Alcohol is "a beast" too. Many, many times more people get addicted and die from alcohol than from meth. So go enjoy your drink after today's session. Tylenol is "a beast" too. Just as many people die from overdosing on it every year as die from meth, and a 7 year old child can walk into a store and buy a bottle full of it.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying meth is good. It is horrible in my opinion. But I know people that use it sometimes to party and they keep their lives under control. Others get destroyed by it. But see 1st paragraph. All I'm saying is this is supposed to be a free country for a reason. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves at the thought of a "drug war" that imprisons people with violent criminals for what they do in the privacy of their own home. We need to end this foolish and corrupt drug war that the likes of Nixon deceptively started to enrich pharmaceutical companies and drug cartels like the CIA and the Mexican ones the ATF has beein shipping hundreds of thousands of guns to (if you think Fast and Furious was the beginning and the end you're a moron).

If the guy wasn't selling to minors and wasn't trying to get people hooked on it, let him be. Buy him a meal, have a conversation, share some waves with him, and try to get him to go to rehab if you love him. Jail is not going to help his soul worth shit, and it may be the nail in his coffin.

i agree with captainkickass....
justice will be served under the rule of his peers and thats that. hell get what he deserves. meth dealers are desperate to me, i feel bad that he lives in a community that would allow him to do so. everyone older than me would beat my ass if i tried to get in that game

With all due respect to Jay Moriarty and what he represents, a movie I'd want to see would be titled "Of Meth and Mavericks" - about Anthony Ruffo and the "Westside Posse".

In Santa Cruz, Ruffo was cool to outsiders, surfed with a smile and totally ripped. Yet the dark side took control of his ambitions, turned him into a meth dealer and provided a notorious Mexican gang with full access to the local surfing community. Some of the tweaker surf stars of the day took their talents to Mavericks and blew minds with little regard for deadly consequences, conquering the beastly wave, winning contests and making the cover of Surfer Magazine - while totally high on meth.

Is dsx a troll? Did I just answer my own question?

Also, does anyone know anything about Fleahab? Got a good friend who needs to dry out.

drugs should be legal
