Kenvin responds, “You slandered me and lied about me on your massive platform for 10 years. I have your fucking money.”
The San Diego shaper and former boyfriend of eighties supermodel Stephanie Seymour, Richard Kenvin, has fallen foul of surfing polemicist Joel Tudor over a disputed business debt.
Sixty-year-old Kenvin, whose use of planing hulls influenced the work of Daniel Thomson, posted a message from Tudor onto his Instagram account Hydrodynamica.
Perhaps his biggest claim to fame, however, is his fling with eighties supermodel Stephanie Seymour, whom he met at Alcoholics Anonymous.
Tudor, of course, is a longboarder and black-belt grappler from San Diego.
You’ll remember his role as the protagonist in these classics, Blood Feud: Joel Tudor and Noa Deane in creative battle royale!, Blood Feud: Joel Tudor vs The World, and Blood Feud: Kelly Slater vs Kelly Slater (part one) and Blood Feud: Joel Tudor vs Kelly Slater, part two.
No need to festoon this blood feud with bunting, it all comes in the comments, including
Joel Tudor let’s Tosh smoke pot! That is child endangerment and should get reported. Joel Tudor is a sicko slimeball pothead and doesn’t deserve to live without people knowing what he does to hydrodynamic and Tosh. On top of that he gets people to shape great boards for cheap. He rigs the VANS contests so Andy Nieblas loses to J. Quinney..I have no use for the slime all and hope he sees this somehow. I’m not surprised the little punk slandered you and left you holding the bag. Lastly, for now, he surfs like a girl and had to take up jujitsu so people would stop telling him he looked like a girl.
@joeljitsu I believe this is what I was referring to when you got a little too stoned and decided it was a good idea to get in my face at the rock. I will say it again as I yelled it in ur face you’re a kook and a disgrace to what’s left of surfing and i hope you know that everyone u ever looked up to shares this sentiment. Try me again and We all know you’ll loose your precious @vans sponsorship that I am sure is hanging by a thread… u might have to square up with Scripps too but I guess u already knew that.
Richard you’re a lame…. you ripped off Cher and steve Pendarvis as well. have you paid them back? How much do you owe them $10,000???

joel definitely puts the repressed macho homo back in homo
On a slight deviation from GossipGrit magazine…..San Diego did have some good vibes yesterday with people coming together from North Shore and Cali benefiting Tom Morey.
San Diego in the 90’s/early 2k is complicated.
I’m interested. But like most things surfing, we’ll never know the real story and this is just another speck of dust in the world of surf. Meaningless…
This fuckwit is a blackbelt in complaining.
hahaha wheelhouse did indeed sponsor a post-4th clean-up
Godamn! That is one haggard looking mug. At least he has the balls to let that picture go public.
Instagram should start implementing a max age requirement so we don’t have to endure anymore of this nonsense.
Wonder why no one has brought up Kevin “Magic Feet” Connelly. That guy has stolen more deposits from customers, not paid suppliers, almost got an SD Factory shutdown, and skipped out on unpaid debts…
Do tell
They’re both white trash on dope….
I’m surprised nobody’s thrown Kevin “Magic Feet” Connelly into the mix. How many unpaid debts, rents, and stolen deposits has that guy amassed over the years…
You can say that again
Both are world-class cocksuckers.
$5k should be no problem
Both great surfers.

I have hundreds of surfing blood feuds, luckily I contain them in my head but fuck me it gets noisy in there.
It would be handy for the elucidation of the sundry pitchfork militia which the various parties are trying to recruit, to spell-out the backstory for the bleudfood, else it is merely random accusations and Blowhard Jibber-Jabber (BJJ)
“Japanese billionaire”
“5,000”
“Cher”
Etc.
????
Yikes. No sharks/Slater angles today?
Richard is the real deal. End of story.
It’s a bummer that Joel is so good at BJJ? Would be fun to see him get put in his place like Dora did. Where do you think Joel would run off to hide if he did? It’s also a bummer that of all the guys that could have made surfing logs in contest interesting it was him with the duct tape. Feels lame giving a total dick credit for something super cool.
What’s BJJ mean ?
Blow Job n Jerk ?
P.S.
I wouldn’t have a clue who the super goober of ‘challenged’ appearance on the right is,
but
No ‘pro’ longboarder should be paid anything, other than a visit from thugs with violent intent…
BJJ–Brazilian Ju Jitsu
Boofy Jebus Jebus?
Remember those ads in the 80s? BIG JOHN (john).
I think you meant Baby Joel (the) Boor
Getting good at martial arts so you can act like and asshole dosn’t seem like it fits in with that whole discipline.
Stay away from Oahu then.
Already been there about eight times but thanks. Luckily one of my friends enjoys fighting almost as much as surfing but was never my thing. And I would drive to OB every day with someone who has two Surfer Mag centerfolds so I never had any issues. Localism is still alive and well up here, and thought it would warm your heart to know it’s not completely dead everywhere.
Watched the whole “becoming Joel” saga at Cardiff over the years, he definitely learned to be an ahole, from his dad, long before learning kung fu
I can’t imagine going on a surf trip to Baja and having to sit in the car with him for six hours at a time.
he’d get completely rolled up at silver strand fight club.
Joel knows his shit way more than Kenvin does. Joel is cool to people he tells like it is. Kenvin is a arrogant Dick Tweeker Raver who made a reputation on anothers concept.
