Speaking to Zig Zag Magazine, he said:

“For the past months I’ve spent 6 to 7 hours every day on rehabilitation, and I thought surfing the longboard championships on a bigger board at the Point would be a great opportunity to get my groove back. The competitor in me is itching to compete!” 

Regardless of the craft, Jordy Smith at Jeffreys Bay is always going to be exciting.
