Surfing’s two great polemicists face-off in epic Coronavirus blood feud: “I can’t wrap my head around anyone that would spend their entire life riding beginner boards!”

And, "You're a total kook who ran home to the shoulder at Mavericks!"

It’s been too long between the bloodying of computer and telephone keys, as warlords face off online. 

A respite today, and a timely respite given the cholera, or whatever it is, epidemic.

Earlier, the noted big-wave surfer from Santa Cruz, Ken Collins, fifty-two, also known, variously, as Skindog and Skin Dizzle, a man who once received a citation for the “bitch slap” of two bodyboarders, was set upon by the original retro-fabulist, and kung fu expert, Joel Tudor. 

Joel, who is forty-four, is no stranger to online blood feuds. 

You’ll remember, Bullfight: Joel Tudor vs Shawn Stussy? Blood Feud: Joel Tudor versus the World? Blood Feud: Joel Tudor versus Kelly Slater? Tudor: “Crying is for baby girls!”

Here’s another, “I make fun of shit because I can” and another, again, with Kelly Slater.

Skinny ain’t afraid to light up, either.

Here, he, also, lays down a gauntlet to Kelly Slater. 

Good times. 

To comprehend today’s blood feud, a little background.

Skindog is of the school of thought that if the state closes the beaches, one must respect the law.

Joel is of the opposite frame of mind, a libertine. If you can squeeze a little solo time in, sneak under the wire.

We begin, 

Joel has a swing at stay-at-home, Skinny, noting in comments,

“Kenny Collins this is you ….would of tagged ya …but you blocked me you huge wuss hahahahah.”

Oh, reader, you can almost hear the pounding of keys up there behind a locked and barred door in Santa Cruz.

Joel makes a lovely cameo in Skinny’s comments,

You at pipeline was pretty funny ….total kook who ran home to the shoulder at Mavericks! Bwhahaha love you and thanks for unblocking me hahha.

Skinny jabs,

Who you kidding? I don’t partake in the great migration each winter with you and your massive heard of semi-pro sheep. I went to Mexico all through the 90’s to present. I think it paid off not to follow on that path.

It goes on and on for days, the two various camps firing virtual salvos over virtual bows.

I’m in the Joel camp, if you’re wondering.

Fuck joel and is his science denying sheep.

Odysseus et al

Speed V Marijuana. Didn’t know marijuana could be so angry

vive45

Dang, can’t stand Tudor yet here I agree with him.

Justin Housman

Fuck me, there are so many well-known surfers with absolutely no education, who gleefully avoided taking school seriously, now holding forth on COVID-19, politics, the economy, climate change, etc.

Hey dudes, if we want expertise about tube lines, we’ll ask. But you flaked on education, so you’re actually the kooks here.

Odysseus et al

Pass that on to Kelly

nyc surfing golden boy

i hate both these guys but im with skin dog on this one..

Dirty south Surfer

Joel Tudor Rules!

Dirty south Surfer

Thats Old school.

Dirty south Surfer

I always liked what Joel Tudor did for surfing with the duct tape. Contests suck but the Duct tape is awesome. Now, I just want joel Tudor to Know: I will Fk up anyone that tries to kick joel tudors arse. Joel Tudor totally f kin rules!!! I Agree 100% with Joel Tudor. I don’t care what anyone says about him. That dude is awesome! What kind of Punk azz surfer tells other surfers not to surf because of some FAKE Virus scare Non- sense. How the heII can someone spread anything while surfing? When the waves hit here, I’m going surfing. I don’t care what the crooked ass government says. They have ZERO jurisdiction below the high tide line.

DrunkenAngel

Fuck, I hope Tudor’s lungs get so fucked up b/c of dose of Covid-19 that he never gets to smoke weed again.

Dirty south Surfer

You need to stop sucking main Stream media C0Ck

DrunkenAngel

#1 I like cock.

#2 when you see the body bags I am seeing in the hospital corridors and people dying alone in ICU beds away from their families we’ll see how fake or how selfish wanting to surf in the midst of this crisis really is. There’s nothing MSM about that. When it hits you and yours your libertarian ideology will shatter into a million tiny pieces.

vive45

All the people that upvoted this are upvoting point #1 as well. No judgement here.

DrunkenAngel

of course!

channelbottom

I wish I liked cock also. It would’ve opened up so many more opportunities in my life.

Abscessed Llama

I just couldn’t no way..

madmaxmedia

But what if I only want to upvote #1? Who’s with me?

Chief Hot stuff

My sis in law is a surgery assistant in the Midlands with nothing to do cause they stopped elective surgery.

DrunkenAngel

which hospital? and depends on what role one has. one cannot call on a surgery assistant to suddenly move into ICU or undertake anesthetist duties. It doesn’t work like that, Bex. Further, one has to be careful who comes to into contact with whom. To pull your sis in law into this fight would cause a shortage in surgery assistants when they would be needed. Staffing and respondents and exposure are managed. Hope she stays safe, high infection rate among NHS workers when in contact … poor PPE

Chief Hot stuff

She’s just told us that she’s starting in ICU today. Coventry
So she’ll report from the front line.

DrunkenAngel

hope she is safe as she does so. west midlands cases growing fast.

Low wide stinkbug stance

Joel Tudor is fucking nuts. Probably a sociopath. The weird thing is if you follow the Wayne Lynch feed Joel is always kissing his arse. It’s fucking weird.

Beef & Beer

Are they little ‘cheek peck’ kisses ?
Or full tongue in ?

OffRocker

Depends if he’s kissing the face or the ass… ass is tongue in.

Beef & Beer

My comment was a reply to kissing the arse, either a butt cheek peck or full tongue in the chocolate starfish…

OffRocker

Carry on good sir…

Shore pound

If you are a surfer who had a photo in a surf mag before 1980, there’s a high chance Tudor will kiss your ass.

Beef & Beer

Going by the equipment he’s always ridden that’d probably be before 1968 though…

Shore pound

Transition era ONLY

Asshole

just a ploy to get free boards

NEGATRON

Well as Joel is the current World Champ I guess he has the final word.

Shore pound

Keala and Joel have really been empowered by their one-win WT status.

Snowbored

NorCal vs SoCal?

Shortboarder vs Longboarder?

Stoner vs Stoner?

Santa Cruz vs San Diego County?

Mavericks vs whatever

Skinny wins

Joel loses…. his shit

Beef & Beer

Stoner vs Stoner ?
Aren’t all Santa Cruzians meth-heads at some stage ?

Waterproof Polo

Yeah I was gonna say, Methhead vs Weedman. Meth would win on mongo strength, weed would win on creatively dodging said meth man.

Gwen Walz’s Eyes

Tudor from San Diego County

Snowbored

Got it

Chief Hot stuff

That’s a blood feud?
I’ve seen way more gnarly exchanges between teenage girls at the mall

Phat-wan kerr

fat westies duelling over the last 24 pack of shit tickets. thats a blood feud.

Chief Hot stuff

Way more entertaining!

Lemon Next to the Pie

That’s nuthin. You should see ’em barking over the last pack of Winnie Reds.

SSD

Camp Tudor all the way. It’s a shame what they did to his home-

SSD
Dirty south Surfer

It’s a shame he did’nt catch them and pop off a few rounds.

SSD

*allegedly* did to his house and by alleged I mean based in my own theory that Tudor actually lives in a Tudor somewhere in Del Mar and his insta haters would go so far as defile his Tudor.

Abscessed Llama

Your avatar emblem is provoking.

Beef & Beer

Any clues as to how someone gets the nickname ‘Skindog’ ?
Does this prematurely aged Tudor fellow also have a publicly known comedic moniker ?
(I’m aware that the Tudor Kings of England had some interesting nicknames, The Huckster, and Coppernose were two of the funnier ones. Perhaps Joel has an existing one too…)

Shroom

Best head over to Warshaws EOS mate just to get a vague grip on the whole thing..

Beef & Beer

Apparently ya gotta pay for his stuff even if ya names in it though, and I sure as shit ain’t handing a dime over for someones magazine compilation…

SSD

I’m a cheapo too but Warshaw, if anyone, deserves a few Bitcoin for his work. That being said, I still hate buying anything online where there’s a a chance of recurring fees. I once had a moment of clarity and went through my bank statements and credit cards and realized all the money getting siphoned out through various subscriptions or whatever. Shit I never used! There’s a quarantine project for me. Probably be depressing and maddening but will feel liberating.

madmaxmedia

You’re probably still paying for AOL.

SSD

Haha! Probably. Those cunts raped me back in the 90s. I recall getting like $200/$300 monthly bills a few times . Then they went to the $19 unlimited plan and the modem would get the dreaded busy signal.

channelbottom

Something to do with touching the foreSKIN of a DOG. I think.

OR perhaps it was that he used to like to SKIN DOGS and wear the bloody pelt round himself at school, when he was 11.

(I have no idea)

Beef & Beer

I’m going with the first one for now.
And I bet it was more than just a ‘touch’…

channelbottom

He’s going to kill me next time he sees me.

Beef & Beer

Are you from the same area ?
If not, any non-esesntial travel ban should keep you unmolested…

channelbottom

Not from same area, nor have I ever met him, to my knowledge. I just said that for effect.

Beef & Beer

Sweet as
Ya never know on here
Nice effect though (and ya can never tell with Santa Cruzians, I mean, look at Pedro (s)Mell, there’s one potentially dangerous tweaker right there haha)

Lemon Next to the Pie

I thought he was a team rider?

channelbottom

Doesn’t Chas have a blood-feud with the sharks?

I’ve not been able to check their Insta feed to see what they’ve been saying about him.

Audit In Progress

Joel is only 44? No fuckin way. I guess props to him for looking like his logger heroes, in every way.

astro

Bitch Grit Max !
Hahahahahar

Shroom

He is a skeksie mate

Dirty south Surfer

I thought he was 10 years younger than that.

Shore pound

He’s a bit weathered.

Shore pound

Kinda looks like the side of an old house that’s been in the sun for 50 years

Asshole

not 44 until June according to google

rza

wow! june of 44 was a great band. probably not a good birthday from the looks of it.

Ed

They are both going to die

channelbottom

Love your work

Occ Topus

Death does seem to be the general fate of one and all.

Billy Hunt

I thought they already had

Shroom

I ll pay that.

Shroom

Tudors spent more time ‘training’ in the homo erotic dance masquerading as BJJ than Skindog ever put into his surfing..so who s the jock mate? I blame Fuller for not completely twisting this cunts head off on the sand at Pipe all those years back…turned a skinny big mouth stoner into a bonified fucktard..
