|  The Burden of Expectation with Jordy Smith by STAB For students of history, you may recall the worldwide hype machine that started grinding in 2008, when rookies Dane Reynolds and Jordy Smith ascended to the elite ASP World Tour. For Jordy, the young South African went from the frying pan to the fryer awfully quick: 2006 ASP World Junior Champion, 2007 ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) No. 1, 2008 ASP World Tour rookie. The tension was palpable in that first season on tour and Smith barely requalified. Now, sitting at ASP World No. 1 following a historic victory at last week's Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, Smith is realizing his full potential, and STAB sat down with him to discuss his progression. This...is their story...
