World #1 Jordy Smith looses short film! Scrutinise here!
I can imagine many of Jordy Smith’s peers would like to take a running kick at his rump. For, even at a canter, running at, let’s say fifty percent, the six-foot-three South African with the guinea pig face has swept easily into the world title lead.
This ten-minute short from Jordy’s masters at O’Neill, note the lingering logo shots on wetsuit leg, the affixing of wetsuit closures in macro focus and so on, reveals his freesurfing at his new home in San Clemente, and in South Africa, where he was born, as well as his pair of tens at Jeffrey’s Bay.
Although well-watched already, the vision of his old friend Chad Du Toit hollering “Tens all day long!” and his pappy Graham looking as happy as a fat boy with his own ice-cream mixer, still excites.
I think this movie, which is actually called Beyond the Tour, is a transaction you should complete.
For although there are no surprises, there are very few surfers in the world with the native talent of Jordy Smith.
And did you know he turns thirty next year?
How the years fly…
