Shaping Jordy

Shaping Jordy

For the first time in a decade, Jordy Smith is spending winter back in his South African homeland. Together with Mikey February, known for his laid-back, smooth surfing style, he hit the open road. From rugged coastlines to glassy waves, they uncovered the raw charm of South Africa’s surf scene.

With editor Andrew Kirkby, I shaped the documentary’s visual tone, using a retro-inspired aesthetic to bring their journey to life.
