Question

Why did Jordy Smith and Billabong part ways?

Answer 1

They chose not to renew his contract when it was expiring.  If I had to guess I would say that they just couldn't afford another high priced surfer.  They already have AI, Taj and Parko.

Answer 2

Jordy will be on the CT next next year, it wasn't that they dumped him, but Jordy wasn't getting as much as he could from other companies, and Billabong didn't wan't to give him more. So its best now for Jordy to wait around, and get himself a really good deal.

Answer 3

i am not sure, but he just won a WQS six star contest, i was wondering the same thing
