Two men were arrested during the semi-finals of the Quiksilver Pro N.Y. on Sept. 9, after the men parachuted from a helicopter. Though their names have not been released, the Long Beach Police Department said that one was a 29-year-old man from Salt Lake City, Utah, and the other a 33-year-old man from Lehi, Utah. Both were arrested at the Edwards Blvd. beach, and charged with second-degree reckless endangerment. Sources said the stunt was not authorized by the city.
