As the Rip Curl Seach draws nearer the tension rises as viewers watch Kelly Slater’s attempt at his 10th ASP world title. Jordy Smith is Kelly’s biggest threat to this goal, however, according to O’Neill’s Director of Sports Marketing “Jordy rolled his ankle last night at a charity event in Santa Cruz”. Although the injury is not actually a severe one, it is still an ankle sprain which has resulted in him pulling out of the O’Neill Cold Water Classic.
Jordy is currently recovering, but thus far it looks as though Kelly is under a lot less threat for his title. Any further updates on Jordy Smith’s condition will be posted up on the blog.
