Jordy Smith – Pack Heavy Chase Light

“Jordy Smith has a delightful ability to pull figurative analogies out of his pocket like paper. Granted, some teeter on the verge of being Dad jokes over anything too profound, but for the most part he’s armed with a well-timed figure of speech or quote to pull you out of the trenches and it’s just one of the reasons he is so well-respected on tour.”

For nearly two decades, Jordy Smith has been a dominant force in professional surfing. But beyond the competition, Db dives into the journey that has shaped him—not just as an athlete, but as a father and traveller. With reflections on family, personal growth, and the ever-changing perspective that comes with experience, Jordy shares insights into what truly defines success.

From his roots in Jeffreys Bay to the global stage, this Pack Heavy, Chase Light episode is a deep dive into the life of one of surfing’s greats.
