Jordy Smith’s Maiden Voyage To Grajagan

And a pre-comp ‘Silver Lining’ other than the Don Julio.

Jordy Smith, the agile South African arrived in G-Land for the first time before the Quick G -Land Pro (stop six of the CT). The swell during the event window was somewhat erratic, and so were the parties. Jordy Smith was one of the unfortunate souls ousted by mushy Indo— yes, those two words can coexist. 

Despite an early exit, Jordy Smith found a silver lining in the pre-event warm-up session. A screaming piece of left perfection, the reeling gift we prayed for all 10 days of the event window. 

Better late than never.

The first six minutes of ‘Silver Linings’ Ep 9 will fill that lingering void with left thwacks and mossy toe dips. The last three minutes flip to El Salvador’s pebble-stone point (CT stop 7) where tall bloke displays a series full-body arcs on savory platter of right nugs.

Watch Episode 9 of ‘Silver Linings’ for refreshing back-side blows and reinforced body contortions.
