“People are gonna shit themselves when they see the clip,” said Jordy Smith.

“It’s the best clip I’ve ever filmed,” said Blake Kueny.

The guys aren’t talking about the shot y’see here, but another clip that they nailed recently in the Maldives.

The move was one of Jordy’s backside superman’s. Otherwise known as a ‘froggie’ (in reference to the frog-like leg arrangement the move triggers), the world is, strangely, yet to see another human successfully perform the move.

During his trip to the Maldives with John John florence and gal pal Lyndall, Jordy’s been working his South-African kicker off. One of the trip’s focuses has been nailing good clips and producing something a little different. Not even a Black Tip Reef shark that has been cruising the lineup stopped Blake from swimming. The above statements were made after all the elements came together for Blake to nail the clip from an amazing angle. But to see it, you’ll just have to sit tight.
