Jordy recently parting ways with long time sponsor Billabong and signing for O’Neill and is being claimed by some as the next Kelly Slater… we’ll see….  Full story–> Transworld

Starting of the 08/09 winter season with the first round up of who’s out shredding and who’s spending to much time in doors fiddling with their iPhone!

“Danny Kass came out swinging with some heavy ad and edit support to put him on the top of the heap for the first round, but Devun Walsh is breathing down his neck, thanks in no small part to his DC ads and a ridiculous Transworld cover shot. Travis Rice rounded out the coveted top-three with some strong ad support for his much-awaited movie That’s It, That’s All, as well some solid editorial coverage of TITA and his Natural Selection contest. Look for him to be a strong contender this year due to TITA, Natural Selection’s second round, and a few skills. Speaking of mad skills, Jamie Anderson exhibited hers in a huge article in Snowboarder’s September issue and finds herself starting the season in the top-ten overall and number one on the editorial chart. Darrell Mathes, Stevie Bell, Iikka Backstrom, and Jake Blauvelt also migrated into the illustrious top-ten from the Exposure-Meter hinterlands”
