A California paddleboarder is expected to stand trial after a confrontation with a surfer reportedly escalated into violence in the ocean near Morro Bay.

According to court testimony, the alleged incident occurred at Morro Strand State Beach while several surfers were in the water. Prosecutors say the paddleboarder was riding waves close to others, which reportedly created tension among the group. It was reported that at some point, the paddleboarder caught a wave from behind the surfer and collided with her, knocking her off her board.
