The OffTheWall.TV crew spent the day with Vans surfer Joel Tudor and his son in their hometown of San Diego. They go surfing, skateboarding, and train - all in a day's work.
Ian Bunch I don’t know any dads who don’t have a job. Or have a job that is being a pro surfer. Dads typically do family surfing and bjj in addition to a grinding 40 to 50 hour per week normal job.
Have you seen him do that out in the water? I'm curious. Cause I've been out on day where there is 20 people and only 4 of them know what they're doing so unless you're paddling around people and shifting positions they are just going to sit in the same spot get blown by the wind and generally get in the way while missing more than half the waves they paddle for. I'm not at all excellent, but if your at this guys level and out with a bunch of mediocre people not reading the ocean what do you do?
@@montypbbc The best surfer's are supposed to get the most waves. That is one of the reasons they are the best. In some crowds with people like Joel, I am a mediocre surfer. When they get tired and go home, I am one of the best surfers and get all the waves. That's how it works..lol
Dude, this guy is the best longboarder in history ans has some skateboard models at Sector that sells like hot cakes... The big bread winner is him, for sure!
secretmuse420, dude screw you idiot, Joel never said he's some amazing fighter, he probably thinks it's fun to do jiu jitsu so why are you mad over him likening a sport
JOEL grew up across the street from me in HUGGINS STREET... UC.
Joe,his Dad was my friend. Joel was like 5 last time i saw him. awesome Man!!!
Enjoy it while you can Joel.
He surfs that Noserider long board perfectly.
That's cool he goes to the skatepark with his kids and teaches them.
Good to see Joel ripping ..
It's been over 20 years since I have seen him , mini ramp sessions at Nathans house in UC. Good times...

RIP Lux Interior.
First time I saw Joel Tudor, he was riding a short board on the reform lefts on the right at Cardiff. Circa ‘88 and ripping.
very chill life . time to go ride my Joel Tudor sector9~
Thats why its perfect.
will my life be like his if i wear vans?
1:08 wow he makes shin high La Jolla shores look really fun.
Bro, if your a longboarder from PA *ahem* that wave looks really fun with or without Joel on it.
it is an insight into what his average day is like, thats why its called "a day in the life"
I remember that kid from his Firsthand
More like the day in the life of the american dad, featuring some surfing.

And to think people do all of that AND go to work too.
Butchzzilla If they work a full time job then they can’t “do all of that.”
Roguish occupation: pro surfer
really super busy, poor guy
Day in the Life of Joel Tudor: Drop in and snake anyone he wants because he's special.
MoustacheCloud, screw you bro he's the best long boarder to ever Live

The dude created the Duct tape invitational which is one of the best advancements in surfing in my lifetime.

looks like his wife is the main bread winner, he gets to do his hobbies by "taking care of the kids" cause that area he lives ain't cheap!
larris pie, do you know how much surf movies Joel is in, he gets paid every time someone views theme or buys em
hahah nice one man
C'est dur la vie ;-)
I wonder if he’s styled after Phil Edwards?
What longboard is he riding?
Caden McCormies, prob a Bing, takayama, or he shaped it
Then who is at 0:18?
One thing I have found out in a life of street fighting is the easiest guys to put in the hospital are guys that learn Karate. It's almost funny.
Dude, this guy is the best longboarder in history ans has some skateboard models at Sector that sells like hot cakes... The big bread winner is him, for sure!
Because he has no girl? Why did they delete my comment?
My connection was fucked nvm
So where's the part showing him rolling around on the ground with other guys junk all in his face?
Perfect life.. Only thing missing is the wife or girl friend
Yeah he probably gave birth to those two kids himself
You call that chill?? He's haulin' his kids all over the place 'n shit! Hahaha but I get what you mean, not a bad way to spend your days. =)
Does it hurt to be you?
Excellent surfer, but my god im tired of all these fuckers jumping on the bandwagon actng like they're fighters. Fuck Joel.
He's done judo and martial arts since he was a child, pretty sure he practices it as a way of learning respect and attitude not to be a 'fighter'
The dude has a reputation for fighting over waves...
secretmuse420, dude screw you idiot, Joel never said he's some amazing fighter, he probably thinks it's fun to do jiu jitsu so why are you mad over him likening a sport
Guy has a BJJ fanatics instructional - (black belt and his own academy). He’s the real deal.
So what is so special about this day? Looks like an average day to me.
That was the point of the video" a day in the life"
Thats why its perfect.
