Durban surfer Jordy Smith has won the world tour surf event at Lower Trestles, San Clemente, California, USA.
After knocking out Brazil’s Filipe Toledo in the Semi-Finals earlier today, Jordy took on Joel Parkinson from the Gold Coast, Australia… and emerged victorious!
It’s a fantastic achievement for Jordy who spent the previous year or so suffering from injury.
Minutes before the Final began, Jordy (or someone on his behalf) posted on his Facebook page – in typical South African fashion – saying “the Final is in the water Now Now!!”
And 30 minutes later the South African surfer walked out of the water a champion!
He joked after the win: “My beautiful wife is on a yoga retreat getting zenned out… I may have to send her on a few more of those.” He thanked his mom and dad, friends and “the whole of South Africa”… and said “I’m just frothing and on top of the moon!”
