Matthew McConaughey's Surfer Boys Beat Down Paps
INFDaily

A violent melee broke out on a Malibu beach Saturday afternoon when a group of surfers attacked paparazzi that were attempting film Matthew McConaughey surfing. Whoa, dude!

Who knew stoner guy extraordinaire and future dad McConaughey, who was spotted macking on the senoritas down in Nicaraugua recently, inspired so much loyalty!

Footage on TMZ depicts angry surfers approaching a group of 12 photographers and demanding that they stop filming the Fools' Gold actor. The photogs resisted, and things got interesting ugly.

One paparazzo can be seen lashing out with what looks like a tripod. Ouch! It's Britney Spears wielding the umbrella revisited! Except reversed!

Police are currently investigating a complaint filed by one of the photographers. And you thought copious amounts of doobage were supposed to make you mellow.

“As I told you last Friday, the change of the season ushers in a whole slew of half naked celebs and its no surprise that Matthew McConaughey is leading the charge! We spotted MM with his girlfriend Camila and some friends in Malibu over the weekend. Matthew shredded the waves in some patterned shorts while Camila looked on in an orange sarong and straw sun hat; it should be only a matter of weeks before there will be a new little McConaughey that will be in need of surfing lessons!”
“Even after soaking up the sun and getting waves all over the world, Matthew McConaughey still can't resist getting out his board for the weekend. With pregnant girlfriend Camila Alves in tow (this time), Matthew looked like he was set to show all the photogs his moves. Mission accomplished.”

“If you think being part of the paparazzi is an easy job, think again. INF has evidence of what happens when a group of surfers are far from jazzed at having their picture snapped at a Malibu beach. The surf gang were out riding the waves with Matthew McConaughey when a fight erupted between them and the paps (Matthew wasn't involved). Check out the video below, I warn you, it's on the violent side, but this is the rough and tumble life of hunting down celebrity gossip! (On that note I'm very glad to be the one writing and not shooting.)”
“Matthew McConaughey appears to have won the hearts of surfers at Santa Monica beach. He was out Saturday enjoying the waves which caught the attention of the paparazzi. This didn't sit too kindly with the surfers who decided to issue such awesomely cliche threats as "We'll draw a line in the beach, and we'll fight for the beach. If you guys win, you can have the beach." How in the hell everyone didn't start break dancing after a comment like that will leave me sleepless for nights to come.

After his goons were done working over the paps, Matthew McConaughey put on a top hat and monocle and laughed: "WAH wah wah wah wah wah! Caped Crusader!" That's when they knew he ate all the shrooms. Who keeps inviting this guy?”

“On Saturday a beachside brawl broke out in Malibu after a gang of drunk surfers attacked a team of paparazzi. That one ended with a photographer's broken nose and lots of bruised egos broken camera equipment.

After a night of rest, the fight was back on yesterday. A security guard warned the paps that, after the previous day's drama, it might not be the best idea to stick around. Moments later, brawl #2 started after a feisty surfer checked a beer bottle at the paparazzi.”
