As South African surf fans, we all slumped our shoulders and sighed with dissapointment when Jordy Smith got knocked out in the second round at the Rip Curl Pro Portugal. We all believe in our wonder kid and we desperately need him to win a World Title. So what is going on with the prodigy? No one denies that Jordy is one of the most talented surfers of all time. He brings more raw power to pro surfing than the rest of the field on tour and commentators, industry pundits and the fans all agree he absolutely rips. So where has this season gone wrong for him? Is he just absolutely unlucky and in need of a Sangoma to rustle up some good fortune magic on his behalf, or are the judges to blame as many online peers would have us believe. My thinking steers me to the former. Sometimes the dice just don't roll for you and in Jordy's case, they aint even leaving his hand. There is only one thing for him to do, keep at it! So don't stop supporting our number 1 just yet South Africa, Lady luck is fickle, but she can change fortune in the blink of an eye. Now watch this video of the main man free surfing in Portugal and have your faith restored! (Good film work Laces!)
