Jordy Smith Filmed from the Mentawaian Brine

For the majority of our eight-day Stab In The Dark strike mission, filmer Paul Daniels treaded water for as long as Jordy Smith tested the 12 cleanskin blades we’d brought for him. Putting in ten-hour days, Paul kept his lens fixed on Jordy’s every move putting them through their paces in empty Indonesian reefs. 

While a few clips made the final cut, here’s a few crisp waves from our soggy lensman, for your enjoyment. 

As we start the New Year, while reflecting on some unseen footage from last year’s marquee project, plans for 2018’s Stab In The Dark are well underway. Who are you hoping this year’s mystery surfer will be? What world class high performance locale should serve as our mad laboratory?
