Jordy Smith, a slob in Reunion Island

You may recognise this spot and angle from the Full Frame we ran yesterday, which starred Julian Wilson. While Stab generally promotes a strict 24-hour rule on Full Frames, this Jordy Smith slob was too good not to run. Jordy and Julian, y’see, have been in Reunion Island on a Red Bull x Stab x Surfing trip, pushing the boundaries of innovative surfing. The images you’ve seen online have been the tip of the iceberg and, by all reports from the road, the trip was way, way fruitful. And while we reported yesterday that Julian lit up for the local kids in the area during this session, so too did Jordy, with man-sized slobs like this and much more. In an age of pulled-back beach shots, tight water angles like this are a treat. And Jordy makes a damn good subject.
