JOEL TUDOR’S BLOOD FEUD WITH . . . EVERYTHING

Why so angry?

Tudor’s Blood Feud also spawned this week’s Happy Giveaway from SpyOptic.com. Congrats to surfmom!

And is Dane equally angry?

KELLY ON ROGAN

Borefest. Nothing new learned. Rogan did Kelly a disservice by not asking him anything about anything.

BARREL OR NAH?

Having your girlfriend shoot photos/film you surfing?
