EXCLUSIVE PHOTO of Wardo Beat-Down
Rumors are filling in that Wardo took a bit of a beating the other day (from a notorious North Shore enforcer) for snaking too many people at Backdoor.
Wardo hopped Tom Dosland and then Bruce, then another local guy. Tom wanted to fight him one on one and Wardo split, then Kala ran into him later gave him a crack or two for being out of control in the water. Even Bruce, who is friends with Wardo was pissed off. Wardo went nuts, and like anyone else, if you make like a hotshot and start getting out of control you get cracks.
An anonymous witness, who was on the scene, sent us the SHOCKING photo above confirming the brutal attack!
If you have any other news, or photos of the poun’ing, please send them to us!.

Dan(e)'s Board
Daily Drop addict DanVapor bought Dane Reynolds board off Ebay a few weeks ago. I asked him to let me know his impression of the board. His story follows:
I could see from the way it was breaking way outside at the island that it was gonna be a macker of a set. Sure enough, it took 45 seconds for the set to reach us from where the island keeps guard over the bay.
The bump looked like one of those typical closeouts that slam the beach, really big. The smaller ones tend to have better shape, but just when my look-see was gonna be no-go, the wave bent outward and started to show possible signs of doubling-up on the inside bar. Fuck it! GO!
Just as I made the drop, the lip came over my head and I came out just in time to catch up with the next section, that AGAIN was doubling-up! That NEVER happens here! I make 4 pumps and then I see it. I hit that ramp so hard my knees almost turned to resin that wasn’t quite set yet, and nearly buckled. Slight on-shores lifted me about 5 feet off the top of the lip, and as I spin through the air I realize something, I really AM surfing like Dane.
Call it a lucky wave
Call it a lucky board
Call it an epiphany
Call it what you will
I landed that shit!I, who have never left the surface of the water before.
Well… on a shortboard.
Um… yeah Dan. You may want to think about backing off the vapor a bit. Click-thru for a few more shots of Dan(e)‘s magic stick.

Kiwis Suck Balls
A REAL MOUTHFUL: Contestant Anthony Bell takes a bull’s testicle in his mouth at the weekend’s Hunterville Huntaway Festival. He was in the Shepherd’s Shermozzle on Saturday, which saw 56 competitors run out of the Hunterville Town Hall, find and claim their dog and head for the nearest high hill. The testicle had to be carted 50m by mouth.
The bulls’ testicles were the curly bit for contestants in the Shepherd’s Shermozzle in Hunterville at the weekend. They had to fang into dry weetbix, scoff a raw egg and wash the lot down with a can of beer. The beer probably also cushioned the taste of raw bulls’ testicles, which had to be carted, by mouth, 50m to the next stage of the competition.
Winner Josh Masters said he’d never carried a bull’s testicle in his teeth before, but it wasn’t too bad. “Best of all, they weren’t connected to anything.”
People who want the information will be delighted to know a bull’s testicle weighs about 1kg, raw, depending on the size of animal it came from.
They were supplied by meat plants where bulls are killed for export meat.Rumour had it that one spectator did eat a testicle, raw, but organisers said they couldn’t comment on the taste. They claimed they were “lovely” cooked, a sort of Texas version of the famous mountain oyster.
Mr Masters and his bitch Scruff came first in the Shepherds Shermozzle. (She won a bag of dog biscuits and he a jacket.) The best dog bark came from Guy Peacock’s dog, Pound.

My Digital Face
I have more work to do today than I could ever finish, so instead I just spent a half-an-hour making my Digital Face. It doesn’t look exactly like me, but it’s pretty close.
It’s fun putting it together though, so here’s the challenge:
Make your digital face and sent it to me at submissions@thedailydrop.com.
I want to know who my readers are, and this is an interesting way to do it. I’ll make a big post of all (3) of the submitted pictures. Come on, it’ll be fun, and I know you’ve got nothing better to do.
