See for yourself as Smith executes a high-flying rotating-flip into a reverse 360.

Looks like the normal reaction of a surfer to seeing a big shark nearby.

Wow! Simply amazing. Put that up there with Tony Hawk’s 900 degree turn on a half-pipe and Thomas Pastrana’s double flip on the motorcycle.

That’s not surfing. That’s skateboarding in water B

Jordy looks (and sounds) like Heath Ledger in the movie ‘10 Things I hate about You’.

It’d still scare the hell out of me if I saw it looming up in front of me. :)

Lord Obama has spoken. Those guys should be reading books and doing homework and discussing weighty issues with their fathers instead of spending time on frivolous things like inventing new surfing moves. They probably play video games too.

They are almost different sports. I find this way more impressive as a surfing feat, and as a purest I still think the big “paddle in” rides are the epitome.
