That’s right, future World Number 1 surfer, South Africa’s very own Jordy Smith (currently number 6 on the ASP World Tour) is in town for the O’Neill Cold Water Classic (here) which is running from 20-24 June. This happens to be the first WQS event in Cape Town in about twenty years.
Jordy Smith is in Kommetjie on Monday
For those of you who don’t know, our very own Jordy Smith (website here) is 21 and is already ahead of where Kelly Slater was at that age (they share the same birthday, 11 Feb, btw). This guy is often referred to as a freak of nature and is blowing people’s minds all over the world.
The most recent mind-blowing vibe took place within the last week in Mentawais (you know where that is, right?) and shocked surfers around the world when he landed a “Rodeo Flip.” When I first heard about this I didn’t know what the fuss was about, as The Muse and I pull off Rodeo Flips the whole time at The Safe House.
But then I saw this video on TheBombSurf.com.

Landing a “Rodeo Flip”
Oh, ok, I see what you mean now. Pretty sick!
So anyway, back to the vibe. Jordy Smith will be doing a signing session at Roddy’s Kommetjie Surf Shop on Monday the 22nd at 16:30. Surfers and non-surfers alike are urged to grab this opportunity by the balls to meet him and get a signed poster from the future world champ.
I wonder if Jordy will be able to get a pic with The TBG while he’s in town… I very much doubt Kelly Slater has managed to pull off thatone!
