Extreme Jordy Smith

Saw this thanks to Mick Fanning's Website. Thought I'd let you all see one of the most radical moves I've seen on a surf board.

Awesome stuff and those Mentawais waves look sick!

raising the bar once again haha. That must be painful to practice. The board is swinging like a knife through the air.

Awesome, fair play to the dude : But he is a paid professional surfer who did this one move one time - You wanna see the dudes at my local break in the winter – Langland can be rad beyond normality too !

INFO
Oh yeah - I don’t have it on video (I missed it dammit !) - but some dude did a 360 board spin on the face of a perfect wave - not in the air, not in the mush, but on the face of a perfect wave on a surfboard and carried on doing his thing!

SO
I hope I will find this person and vid him doing this move - slick, fast, perfect - and as far as I know unseen on 'film' anywhere ! [ I hate him ! lol ].

Will keep you posted !

5'5 19 1/4 LOST REDUX. Quite possibly the craziest xxxxx i've seen: and it was done on a fish.
