If anyone can push Jordy all the way it’s Michel Bourez

“My prediction is fairly predictable as I can’t see anyone beating Jordy at Jbay for many years to come. He has honed his technique on the long right hand point breaks of the East coast of South Africa since he was a kid and has spent more time in the water and competing at J-Bay than anyone else on the tour.

Past that it’s always the guys with the cleanest top turn and smoothest styles who do well at J-Bay. So it’s hard to look past the old school surfing of Parko, Fanning and Slater alongside new school guys like Julien and John John.

But my favourite surfer in the world to watch and the guy who I believe will push Jordy all the way is Michel Bourez, that guy is on fire!!”
