Sawyer Lindblad and Ethan Ewing soft launch relationship becoming surfing’s newest power couple!

Heart emojis overflowing.

Surf fans near and far found themselves morphed into giddy school children, yesterday evening, after Sawyer Lindblad and Ethan Ewing released an Instagram Story featuring the latter gazing off into the distance and a heart emoji. The aforementioned surf fans screen captured the image as quickly as they could, sending it back and forth with dizzying speed.

Lindblad, 19, is, of course a professional surfer on the rise with a powerful modern style. Currently world number 11, the San Clemente-bred screwfoot won last year’s Rookie of the Year.

Ewing, 26 and hailing from Australia’s North Stradbroke Island, is considered one of the smoothest surfers on the Championship Tour where he is currently number 6.

Surfing has not had a power couple so fantastic since Jack Freestone and Alana Blanchard began dating over a decade ago.

Or maybe Jesse Mendes and Tatiana Weston-Webb.

Do you remember when Laura Enever and Granger Larson were together?

Me either.

How do you think Kelly Slater might try to steal Lindblad and Ewing’s spotlight?

Happy days.
