Koby Abberton (born 2 June 1979 in Maroubra, New South Wales), an
Australian former professional surfer, is a member of the Australian
surf gang, the Bra Boys. He rose to local prominence in 2006, when he
was found guilty of perverting the course of justice in an incident
surrounding his brother, Jai Abberton, who was charged but found not
guilty of the 2003 murder of stand-over man, Anthony 'Tony' Hines.
Together with his brothers, Abberton achieved national and
international attention in 2007 with the release of a feature-length
documentary entitled Bra Boys: Blood is Thicker than Water, written
and directed by members of the Bra Boys. In November 2008, Koby
Abberton was jailed for three days by a US court after being found
guilty of assaulting an off-duty police officer in a fight outside a
nightclub in Honolulu, Hawaii.Abberton was born in the south-eastern
Sydney beach-side suburb of Maroubra to a heroin-addicted mother and a
criminally inclined father (who was not his biological father but
instead his mother's boyfriend), living in the "housing commission
capital of Sydney". Abberton states that his home birth was not a
result of specified choice, but as a method of avoiding the hospital
where he says his mother "knew she'd get in trouble for being on
heroin". Abberton is one of four children and brother to Jai, Sunny,
and Dakota Abberton, all surfers.Abberton describes the start of his
career as the time when his "life got better." Following a
disagreement with Abberton's mother's boyfriend, who assaulted him
with a baseball bat, Abberton suffered a head injury during the
altercation and he chose to re-locate to his older brother Sunny's
house. Of the argument Abberton says "I just started crying. He [Sunny
Abberton] said "Don't worry, just try to forget about it and put
everything you've got into your surfing. That's our way out of this
life," and that's when it all started." Abberton pursued his surfing
career, going on to achieve sponsorship and international recognition
for his abilities and achievements. Koby Abberton Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
