BuchuLife's Jordy Smith Snatches World Number Two in Rio

Online, May 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - South Africa's surfing sensation Jordy Smith has claimed his first ever ASP World Championship win away from home.

The precociously talented Durbanite dominated with a series of exhilarating technical turns and air manoeuvres to beat home favourite Adriano De Souza in a polished performance at the Rio Billabong Pro.

His third career ASP WCT event win has propelled him to the coveted number two spot on the ASP Men's World Rankings. He is currently 2 643 points adrift of the incumbent number one who ironically is the man he eclipsed in a high performance spectacle on Sunday!

Smith, who was clearly exuberant after his maiden away victory, was aware the battle would be fought and won in the air. "When the swell dropped against Adriano and he took to the sky, I knew I was going to have to do the same, but luckily I got a couple of scores."

"This win feels unbelievable! It's another dream come true. I knew I could win a World Tour event but I had to prove to myself that I could do it away from South Africa."

Smith is one of several BuchuLife brand ambassadors that have excelled in their chosen sporting codes of late. He joins SA longboarding champion Ethan Pentz and Billabong junior champ Max Elkington as local wave wonders while celebrity cricket allrounder Jacques Kallis simply keeps on re-writing the record books with his stellar performances with both bat and ball!
