A stunningly sad day. But a flicker of hope?
Joel Tudor is many things, of course, but first and foremost San Diego’s own is a surf champion. The longboarder, currently 47-years-young, was the youngest ever to win a contest, at fifteen, and also the oldest to ever win a tour season at forty-five. He won the fabled U.S. Open of Longboarding eight times and even founded his whole own league, the Duct Tape Invitational, in 2010, which he has won.
Joel Tudor’s two other passions, jiu-jitsu and smoking marijuana, are tied for second and so you can imagine the black belt’s stun when famous marijuana ambassador, Snoop Dogg, announced yesterday that he was saying goodbye to the weeds.
The Long Beach rapper took to Instagram posting a moving photograph signaling the move.
“After much consideration & conversation with my family,” the multi-platinum artist penned, “I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time.”
Tudor, clearly in shock, trying to will away the horror, commented, “April fools is a few months away.”
Now, imaging the nimble-footed cross-stepper alone in his darkened room, tears streaming down cheeks, is more than I can think. Thankfully, and for the first time in my life, I can provide relief.
Yesterday, you see, my wife, an important agent regularly smeared by the Committee for Equity in Women’s Surfing, was attending a Paris Olympic event at Universal Studios with her client Jagger Eaton. Snoop, who deftly called action for the Tokyo Games, was also there. The two got to talking, then took a picture together. As she got close to the Huggy Bear, she smelled the unmistakable fragrance of cannabis.
“You did not give up smoke,” she said.
He just smiled his Buddha-like smile and whispered, “For a day.”
And so, Joel Tudor, spark one up and rest easy.
Love,
Whew. Thanks. That’s a relief to know.
His family has a lot of grumpy snoop to look forward too!
Part of a marketing campaign for something smokeless I bet.
funny part is the moron has to announce it.
Like people we all know who drank to to much early and middle and now have to stop drinking for life…booohriiiing.
Each to their own but I wonder if a sober Snoop would be more creative & productive (more 90s styled gems, pls!) Joel is a fully functional pothead, just imagine him taking up something more of an upper, mayhem would ensue.
I’ve also heard or suspected that Rob Machado is a partaker of the smoke, but don’t know for sure, he kinda looks the part. Don’t really want to judge a book by its cover though.
Well, did you hear that or do you suspect that? He’s put a lot of effort into drug-free programs.
wtf type of comment is this… “heard or suspected” are VERY different things champ, what you meant to say was “I suspect Rob Machado smokes way too much because I have seen his hair and I definitely judge books by their covers and then post my judgments in public forums pretending I heard a rumor from the voice in my head”
Thanks for your cutting-edge take.
Ok, point taken, but I honestly thought I had read something a fair ways back, that said he was pretty into da herb, (could be wrong). Really not judging a book by its cover though, I have shoulder length hair and own a V-dub van, and dudes used to sometimes walk up to me and ask if they could score some weed, (I don’t puff).
Apologies to Rob where apologies are due.
Never say Never.
Chas, you gotta stop bragging that Circe represents Jagger Eaton. He has the worst style in skateboarding.
I’m going to return my Snoop Dog Munchie Meal to Jack n the Box in protest.
The trick with quitting something is to not tell anyone you’re doing it. Too much pressure otherwise.
Stay Healthy!

Impressive… Every single aspect from that music & video made me cringe.
Aww. The sting of divorce can’t be shielded with your little outburst…..
That comment is almost as cliched as the tune.
