Re-air of Ep 159, the first “Watersheds” format episode highlighting Jordy Smith’s first CT win on home soil at J-Bay in 2010. 

This week, we’re premiering a new format of The Lineup where we zero in on an important moment from surfing’s rich and extensive history. Using sound bites from deep within the WSL archives and insight from this week’s special guest Pat O’Connell, we’re diving into Jordy Smith’s huge win at J-Bay in 2010. Travel back in time to the very different surf world (and world, period) of the early and mid-2000’s. Hear all that went into Jordy Smith’s rise into the global surf consciousness. And get the full story of what made his win at home in South Africa so important in the long tapestry of unforgettable Championship Tour moments.
