Jordy Smith Searches for Lost Billabong Film Footage

Jordy Smith is actively seeking footage from a film he began with Billabong ten years ago, which remains unreleased. The project started shortly after his World Junior Championship victory in 2006, marking the beginning of his professional surfing career.

During a recent podcast episode, Smith recounted how the film's production was hindered by a dispute between his father and Billabong regarding a sponsorship agreement. As Smith's popularity grew, the terms of the deal became contentious, leading to a breakdown in negotiations and ultimately the end of their partnership.

Despite the challenges faced during the production, Smith expresses no resentment towards the situation and is primarily focused on recovering the lost footage, stating that he has been searching for it for the past decade.
