As if Jordy Smith wasn’t on enough of a tear this year, what with being ranked fourth in the world so far (nearly third) and a ‘CT win in Rio — he is now engaged. And what a way to do it.
On Wednesday, after his heat in the US Open, Jordy took his gorgeous —you know, super model girlfriend — Lyndall Jarvis out for a tandem surf. Pretty standard, really. But as the two love birds stroked into a So-Cal drainer, Lyndall turned to look back…and found ole Jordy, dropknee with a grin on his face and a ring in his hand. Of course, she screamed (yes!) and flipped them over, but the diamond was not lost.
A heartfelt congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jordy Smith from all of us and also kudos for beginning a new trend of surf proposals. The question now is — who’s gonna ask getting tubed?
