After returning from a trip to San Diego, Yancy III told me Joel Tudor was simply a younger version of Bzr Turner – one of the best surfers Pensacola Beach has ever seen. That was a huge compliment toward Bzr.
This photo reflects that – even though it was taken 52 years ago, in the Bahamas. It’s pretty neat that so many of us younger Pensacola guys had such a genuine talent to emulate.
There’s a fantastic Joel Tudor video called “Longer”. This photo of Bzr looks like it could have have been a frame taken from the movie.
Dave Skelton took the photo.
