On the 27th September 2007, professional surfer Dave Rastovich led an international group of over 30 surfers, celebrities and musicians on a peaceful paddle-out ceremony to honour the dolphins killed in Japan. The following day, the fishermen began killing dolphins. The surfer crew returned including 'Heroes' TV star Hayden Panettiere and Australian actress Isabel Lucas. After the group entered the water, the fishermen shouted at the group, jabbing them with poles and threatening them with the boat propellers.
