According to Kerr
He's one of the most progressive surfers on the world tour, and thusly has opinions about what constitutes state-of-the-art performance. ESPN Surfing caught up with Josh Kerr while he was in California recently and hit him up to get his take on what the best guys are doing, how they compare to those waiting in the wings, and what may be coming up on tour in the not-too-distant future.

Really tough subject to get right. Fishermen trying to make a living and are caught in the middle. Pretty sad. Must be a good answer.

I definitely don't condone ramming a fishing boat or violence in any way. I do back stopping shark finning by peaceful but direct approach.
