Jordy Smith has been in fine form this season. One gets the feeling he’s treating this year’s tour like a marathon: hovering near the front, but holding off on really stepping on the gas until the last minute. So far in Jordy’s career, 2017 is looking like his best shot for a title, and it’s heats like this that win those.
In the entire history of the WSL, there have only been ten perfect heats. In round three, the big South African added his name to that list. He kicked off his heat firing on all cylinders, pulling down a pair of 8 point rides before turning up the volume and scoring two perfect 10s. And yes, it was the first perfect heat ever at J-Bay. Fitting that Jordy Smith got it, isn’t it?
