Watch Now: Florida Man Bare-Knuckle Boxes A Koala From Baja

Welcome to our first ever surf-off.

Me? 

With a misleading title? Blasphemy!

But in all seriousness, we do have actual footage of Florida native Robbie McCormick and Kevin Meza (Baja Koala) going head to head in our first ever surf off. While it may not be as primal as the headline suggests, this dog fight is worth watching.

Given the constantly growling list of injuries at Vans Stab High, Central America, presented by Monster Energy, we had an extra spot to give away to an alternate.

The catch? We invited two potential replacements and made them duke it out for the single slot.

Watch the battle above.
