Stuck between a WOK and a hard place, with Jordy Smith

This is very similar to Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis (which incidentally, if you haven’t looked up, y’really should.) While Jordy Smith’s at home in South Africa, he took the time to sit down with pal Warwick ‘Wok’ Wright for an interview. He then becomes “Stuck between WOK and a hard place”… get it? If you’ve not heard of Wok, his self-written description goes thusly: “Many of you might know me, but for those that don’t I’m Warwick “Wok” Wright, born in Durban, South Africa. I’m a pro surfer, ya a real live pro surfer. Did the tour, travelled to pretty much every country that has a sea, surfed the the best waves all over, made some good cash, met some mad people, partied all over this globe and did other shit that would make your head spin. Had groupies, lots of them…. just having a bunch of fucken fun if you know what I mean. Hope you are entertained. Maybe you will come to understand some of my sarcasm, but if you don’t, well, fuck it. This site is pretty much for hot chicks to think I’m semi-famous so that I can look better than you.” We got lost in his site and his confidence. We like him. Paul Fisher may have some competition on the horizon. Check out Wok’s site over here.
