Jordy Smith arrived armed with a board and his crew at JBay after seeing promise of big waves developing, the kind that make competing at JBay so thrilling. The group was disappointed when the expected big wave failed to make its appearance, but that didn’t stop the boys hitting the water and showing off their moves in waters, although not exhilaration, the waves provide some good surfing. Jeffreys Bay is not one the best surfing spots for nothing. With its Kitchen Windows, Surfers Point and Supertubes, it’s worth the effort – big surf or not.

I spent a day with JM shooting this video for Red Bull, shot this clip with a Nikon D7000, 50mm prime and a 16mm fisheye as well as the slider. We also strapped a GoPro to the bottom of the board and came out with some great footage.

I have been shooting surfing for a long time now, all the traveling, and all the missions is all made worth while when you get the cover of a surf mag. This is my first cover with Zag…yes first, it only took over 10 years to get one. But this is the Photo Annual and super stoked to have it.

This shot was taken in the Maldives, I traveled there with Jords on a “relaxed” surf trip. John John Florence joined us thinking it would be a chilled surf trip because Jordy had his lady with but ended up surfing almost 7 hours a day and ended up needing a holiday from his holiday.

This shot was from the first session we had the day we landed.

I have never been on a surf trip and come back with no footage until now – not one wave. After almost a full day of traveling to what was suppose to be big grinding left handers, we were left sitting on the beach for 12 hours eating rusks, drinking coffee and being educated on chopper flying by Laces. On return from the trip, people were eager to find out if we scored waves, but the more we told them we had no waves the more they thought we had scored the best waves of our lives and were keeping it a secret. Not in this case. We came back to Cape Town Bummed and with no footage and glory…next time.
