South African Jordy Smith has become the talk of the surfing world after successfully completing a rodeo flip while surfing off the coast of Indonesia. The Jordy Smith rodeo flip took place during Red Bull Surfing's trip to the Mentawai Islands off the coast of Sumatra.

Smith's Red Bull teammates couldn't stop raving about the rodeo flip. Other surfing aficionados seem to agree that the Smith's move is nothing if not innovative.

Surfing pundits are now weighing in on this high-flying rotating-flip into a reverse 360, and most are referring to it as the most high-performance maneuver ever executed on a wave.
