Jordy Smith, one of the best surfers in the World!

  Hi, today I want to show you one of my favorite surfers, the South-African Jordy Smith. I believe Jordy is one of the most skilled surfers in the ASP World Championship and you will plainly see why when I show you some of his videos.

   Jordy Smith has been competing in the "Dream Tour" since 2008, having won the WQS (World Qualifying Series) at 2007 (at the age of 19). He started slowly at the ASP World Tour, finishing at 28th in the ranking by the end of the year, but then start to recover and had almost won the ASP World Tour Title at 2010, finishing in 2nd place behind the Legend Kelly Slater.

  Jordy is known for a balanced surfing, with his HUGE and CRAZY airs, as well as his high Power surfing skills. 

  Let me first show you a YouTube video of Jordy Smith where he pulls a massive Rodeo Flip air:


  Since Jordy Smith first started to surf in the Elite Tour, he won two times the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, South Africa (2010 and 2011) and the Billabong Rio Pro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2013).

  At 25 years old, I believe Jordy Smith has a World Title to win ;) Let me show you the proof next. This is a Surf Movie by Jordy Smith, named "Bending Colors":


  Here are some photos of Jordy Smith:

World Tour of Surfing Event, Oakley Pro Bali Indonesia

   Starting today, the Oakley Pro Bali Indonesia is the 5th Event in the World Tour of Surfing. This event joins the best surfers in the world like Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Kelly Slater, Gabriel Medina, Jordy Smith...(ok, all of them are good :P, as this event only joins the Top34 + some Wildcards surfers).

   Currently, Mr. Kelly Slater, 11 times World Champion and winner of more than 50 World Tour Events, is "sitting" in the 1st place of the Tour, with the age of 41!!!! So, this short post is dedicated to this Legend ;). Let me show you a video of him in Bali:
