Jordy's back in France, and a competition vest.

The 10th Anniversary Quik Pro France marks the return of Jordy Smith to the ASP World Tour. After injuring his rib in Tahiti, Jordy missed events in New York and Trestles, and understandably he was gutted over it. But, the big kid's back, and winning heats like he does.

Some words from the man himself: “It’s so good to be back. I’m not 100% at the moment – about 75%. It still hurts to lie down on my board and paddle, but it’s time for me to be back in the water. I want to be here and I’m happy to have come away with a win in my first heat back.”

Mind over matter. Couldn't sit idle any longer. Get 'em Jordy!

Jordy checks in with Engineering

Jordy and Gee came through the office today to finalize some finer points on his new signature fin, set to released in Spring 2012. Nice to have the big man in the office, making sure we're keeping up with him.
