Surf legend Joel Tudor goes nuclear in economics debate, shreds opponent with brutal but antiquated slur

"You just confirmed you’re are retarded."

The three-time longboard champion, and father of its modern old-school iteration, is nothing if not prolific. Just yesterday saw him dividing the internet after a cryptic post written in Spanish denied the catastrophic effects of climate change. And today sees him embroiled in a wild economics debate, going nuclear on opponents with antiquated slurs.

The whole business got underway on a post from the Instagram comedy account Toby Honk wherein he poked fun of the high cost of surfboard pricing. Tudor swung in with “Airbrush was 50$ …..thanks to bidenflation it’s now about 150….ohh what difference 4 yrs make,” to get the debate started which began slowly at first, all agreeing with the elder statesman’s stance.

#JoelTudorsAmerica etc.

Until Shea Somma, a shaper from California’s central coast, suggested, “Maybe it shouldn’t have stayed the same price for decades.”

Tudor wasted no time going to his arsenal, finding a very powerful but outlawed word and dropping it from altitude, declaring, “You may be retarded! Price of materials being stable benefits the builder and keeps cost low for customer …basic win for everyone involved!”

Ouch.

Somma took the explosion and responded, “My point wasn’t that materials cost going up is a good thing, my point was that price remaining artificially low over the course of multiple decades is a bad thing.”

Tudor, seemingly satisfied with the first use, came back with, “you just confirmed you’re are retarded.”

Somma, dazed, asked, “So prices and wages remaining the same for glassers while cost of living steadily rises… is a good thing? I’m pretty slow here as you’ve pointed out so please explain…”

But Tudor was finished.

Others engaged, however, and the conversation is both interesting and informative, as it relates to the nuances of the surfboard industry.

Very inside baseball, as it were.

But, in any case, do you have opinions on Bidenomics? Did you like when he went to Maui and made some yucks with a dog wearing shoes?

Fun.

Does it amplify a normal fire to a much bigger and more dangerous fire? Your fucked bra

But you can blame a hurricane for enhancing winds to 60mph trades that made the fire impossible to control and also contributed to the extremely dry conditions that lead up to the fire. Maybe thats what your supposed dictator meant by “Fire Hurricane”. Of course the winds didn’t cause it but they were the main reason why the fire turned from a normal annual brush fire to a devastating natural disaster. Keep being a keyboard warrior and conspiracy theorist though the world needs you!

works better with BJJ if you turn it to “99% chance you could fuck their ass”.

Real fights are brutal, no holds barred and anything that can be swung or thrown, will be.

Research “pressure gradients causing wind”… If Hawaii is sandwiched between the normal high pressure to the north east and an abnormally low pressure to the south west (Dora), the pressure gradient is going to be much larger than normal causing higher wind speeds than normal. Maybe you should do some research on your own before taking other people’s conspiracy words on it.

If you don’t understand why Dora accelerated the winds during the fire you don’t understand basic pressure gradients that explain why wind blows at all… fucking moron RESEARCH “HOW PRESSURE GRADIENTS CAUSE WIND”

Time to vote for real change in the USA – “TUDOR/SLATER” or “SLATER/TUDOR 2024” (they need to work out the top and bottom thing…)

Reasonably sure that if dear Joel got in strife with anyone who fancied more than a cuddle and roll on the floor they’d be loading the pieces of him in an ambulance using a bucket and sponge. Maybe a dustpan and brush on a good day

Lots of spending occurred from 2016-2020. Just saying.

Sure. But the economy was already beginning to recover at the end of Trump’s term. Biden’s America Rescue Plan Act was reckless and unnecessary. That Act cooked the economy just as it was beginning to recover.
