Rockaway native Joe Falcone is not afraid getting real when it comes to the surf scene at his local breaks ; and did so unabashedly in a March New York Times article when he called out bad conduct in the line-up. We sat down with Joe to discuss early life in Rock, how he really feels about the way things have evolved on the peninsula, and some of the costs and benefits of not worrying about what people think of him. Also, we preview next week's interview with the reporter who covered the explosion at a Williams Company natural gas facility in Louisiana. Williams hopes to expand a pipeline under the Rockaways.
