Anthony Ruffo, one of Santa Cruz's most controversial surfing figures, had just been released from Rountree Jail in Watsonville a few months prior to the show. In one of the photos you can see the electric monitoring bracelet that he was wearing, that actually went off during our show.

Ruffo who had been caught up in Methamphetamine dealings was jailed for one year, and the warden of the jail where he was housed at was overseen by Sheriff Steve Gagnon, who grew up with Ruffo, and who helped him change his life, worked on his education and life after his jail time.

The day after the show, he was fully paroled and his ankle monitoring bracelet was removed.
