“Artistic People Smoke Pot, Insecure People Drink And Do Cocaine”

Welcome back to The Drop, Stab‘s semi-irregular audible offering. 

For this one-off episode, Stab’s Editor in Chief, Ashton Goggans sits down with one of the most opinionated and influential surfers of the last twenty-five years, Joel Tudor.

After running through a class at Studio 540, the jiu-jitsu studio Joel is heavily invested in, Joel sat down at his North County San Diego residence of over two decades and discuss many a matter near and dear to his heart: jiu-jitsu, Pipeline, and his early days on the North Shore; the small army of icons and legends of the sport who took him under wing at a young age; cannabis, cocaine, creativity and the “jock mentality”; skateboarding, longboarding, the secrets to longevity, and much, much more.

While we won’t write checks our ass can’t cash, there’s a good chance you’ll be hearing more from The Drop very soon.
