Kaj pa če je Jordy Smith zmagal svojo prvo WCT tekmo kar doma na J-Bayu?

Jordy Smith je v finalu Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay ob piskanju vuvuzel premagal avstralca Adama Mellinga in ravno na domačem spotu zmagal svojo prvo tekmo na svetovnem pokalu in zraven še zasedel prvo mesto v skupni razvrstitvi. Kaj je povedal po tekmi?

“This is the best day of my life. The crowd on the beach has been supporting me the last few days and hearing the cheers and the Vuvuzelas just gets me fired up to perform. It feels like they’re pushing me along. I couldn’t have done it without them.”

“I knew the swell was dying and I had to take advantage of every wave that came through. Adam (Melling) is such a dangerous surfer. He’s been in form all day and I knew that if he got the waves, he would get the scores. I went out there knowing I had to open up strong.”

Kaj pa ta Adam Melling? Pred tekmo je bil na 41 mestu skupne razvrstve in se je počasi poslavljal od svoje krtsne sezone na svetovnem pokalu, sedaj pa se je zavihtel na 19 mesto in je lepo na varnem za preostanek sezone.

Omeniti velja še Taj Burrowa, ki ga je prav tako pulil celo tekmo in se je sedaj pomaknil na drugo mesto skupne ravstitve. Kelly, ki je izpadel precej zgodaj je sedaj tretji.
