Jordy Smith Wins ASP WQS 6-Star O'Neill Cold Water Classic Tasmania

Well, it hasn't taken our boy long to come up with the goods since he signed on with the JS Industries family. Jordy Smith has taken out the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star O'Neill Cold Water Classic Tasmania in pumping surf at Bluff Reef, defeating fellow ASP Dream Tour traveler Damien Hobgood in the Final.

In solid 8-foot swell, offshore winds, Smith and Hobgood showed just why they are two of the top ASP World Tour surfers at the moment.

"It was good to get a win," Smith said. "It's been a while. Damo's been ripping this whole event. I looked up to him as a kid so it's great to be out there with one of your heroes." 

Smith had blazed his way to the Finals, knocking out the phenomenal Australian talent of Owen Wright in the Quarterfinals before an exciting close Semifinal heat against the Brazilian Jadson Andre.

"I've had the greatest time here in Tasmania, it's been just amazing with such powerful surf and fun people in this remote location" said Smith after his win. 

"I always enjoy surfing waves that offer power and here in Tasmania every wave you surf is straight out of the deep southern waters and the power just makes for great surfing, I love it."

Yeah Jordy!!
