JORDY SMITH MANIA HITS KOMMETJIE

Monday saw the much anticipated Jordy Smith signing session at Roddy’s Kommetjie Surf Shop . Apparently it was off.the.hizzo!

The Film Guy (the genius behind the Randall Abrahams Rocky video) was there and, having recognised him from the 2oceansvibe Characters list, Jordy put a little something together for me!

Check it out! How cool is that?!

It doesn’t get much better than sitting in the sun in the South of France and receiving an autograph from the number one South African surfer in the world! Hating that!

The Film Guy tells me it was absolutely awesome and that Jordy was super cool. There was even a raffle and a Kommetjie resident won a wetsuit. Mondo! Other than that there was free-flowing Jack Black beer and apparently loads of “groms” attended the signing session.

TheBombSurf were there as well so I’m sure you’ll see some pics from the mayhem (let alone the O’Neill Cold Water Classic) on their website www.thebombsurf.com

Here some extra pics I got hold of:

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the day was MORE than just “sick.” From where I’m sitting, it looks like it was ILL!
