White shorts home address will be published soon :-) - About White Shorts - Hi everyody,
The white shorts are retarded they think the beach belongs to them :-) here are some information about them. They all white and most of them are religious christian ;-) thats the true... Not really expect this from a christian right? Anyway the founder of this retards are the idiots who own the surf center next to Tamarin Hotel. They teaching how to surf to tourists and will only rent you out a board if the waves re small otherwise you will not get one. So basically they all into tourism nowadays so I highly recommend you not to learn surfing with them, book a boat trip (swimming with dolphines), or rent any surfboards there. This 3 brothers do not deserve any tourists as they chased them away and still dont like them surfing there.
The biggest cunt from the white shorts is a late 40s guy his name is Bruno and he is specially retarded. Some people even say he is an inbread...which couls be possible on a small island. Bruno is still acting like a real bustard so he never really grow up. I suggest to anybody should u meet Bruno or any of this inbreads in Tamarin do not talk to them. Just punch them in the face as and dont feel afraid. The police in Mauritius does not give a damn about any of this bustards. In fact a lot of people in Mauritius would appreciate it! So much to the good christians white shorts:-) the biggest joke on our island. Happy surfing if u need to have more details let me know. Cheers
