Blood Feud!
The Open Thread, Comment Live activity has proven so enjoyable, so robust, that it can even withstand the monotonous hum emanating from Lemoore, California.
I’ll be honest. I didn’t know if it was possible. I pictured that plow and those surfers sitting and bobbing for an eternal five minutes and these commentators hand jamming nonsense and thought, “Nope. Our BeachGrit mosh pit will not be able to find rhythm
Boy, was I wrong.
Not only have I had many laughs, so far, but blood feuds have been uncovered.
For example I can’t tell who because Disqus handle became obscured, happened to be searching Hawaiian Tanner Henrickson’s Instagram stories, yeoman’s work in and of itself, and stumbled across a broadside delivered against Mikey Wright and the World Surf League.
Give someone else the opportunity of a lifetime @wsl,” Hendrickson began. “Tired of seeing Mikey Wright get a wild card into every event for the past 3 years? I can think of DOZENS of surfers who could do damage on tour and instead you keep throwing him wild cards without any stellar results.”
A fine point, no?
Hendrickson was last seen knocking an açaí bowl from Brazilian Michael Rodrigues’ hand on Oahu’s North Shore.
More entertaining than anything Wright has done this year, or last, no?

Who’s Tanner Hendrickson?
A Brazilian fetus would get a better score than Miki wright at the mechanical water machine.
What is it with this site and the wrong comments being at the bottom of the article?
Fair point, the wsl has been trying to “toughen up” their image with Mickey’s designer mullet “rough boy” marketing potential , maybe trying to keep the mid west market interested ?
As for his surfing , agree he rips but so do plenty of others (not sure if tanner does though?) I’d never heard of him before or after the acai bowl incident
(Shrug)
Well there ya go- a headline about a throw away comment from someone nobody has ever heard of.
Edit: Post removed to place elsewhere
Jesse probably would’ve whipped Mikey in the North Point carpark if it’d gone that far, and presumably Tanner would whip Jesse…
Mikey is surfing only slightly better than Taj @ Rotto. He at least stood up on a wave
this has all the makings of a menstrual blood, dude; rather than a blood feud
Mikey seems more like the cat on acid type than a dog person.
Tanner’s wright on this one
Michael Wrightriguez
I would have to agree, Mikey Wright seems like he’s as good as an average top local surfer
Tanner who?
So Michael Wright isn’t legitimately on tour?
Come to think of it, did he hand jam M-Rod’s açai bowl?
Who dosent love reading the lame featured comment a thousand times.
Whoever puts a featured comment on a live comment stream is a fuken retard
Yea – still a bit dark that MRod never got true slaps for being a wanker.
Oh well, there’s hope for the future.
