Jordy Smith Ranked No.1
July 13th, 2010
It’s been quite a few weeks for sport in South Africa. While Bafana Bafana and the rest of South Africa put on a great show, eyes now turn to Jordy Smith and his No. 1 ASP ranking after his win at the Mr Price Ballito Pro.

Having won an event in front of his home crowd for the first time since he was fifteen, the twenty-two year old Smith is feeling confident about his chances heading into the Billabong Pro J-Bay. “Its great to be at number one but it’s a long road ahead,” Smith said. “I kinda look at it like boxing, there’s 12 rounds and we’ve only been through four so there’s plenty more to go and you have to hang tight.”
Some of the First Round match-ups are looking kind of tasty, especially Heat 2 with Jadson Andre & Andy Irons, Heat 8 with Kelly Slater up against fellow Floridian Damien Hobgood and Heat 12 with Pat & Tanner Gudauskas going up against each other. The local forecast is looking awesome and if the winds behave it could be a classic event. As a final tease, here’s Billabong’s latest webisode featuring JBay’s greatest moments.
