Saturday, March 1st Pro surfer Cody Graham and Hot Tuna’s Greg Kaplan took the 27-year-old Australian celebrity Jaime Wright surfing at Blackies located in Newport Beach. Jaime Wright been seen popping in and out with Hot Tuna this month in Vegas and Hollywood parties with Cody Graham. After doing a photo shoot in New York, she came straight to Newport Beach to meet up with Cody Graham to see what he has to offer. After giving Jaime wetsuits and a surfboard, Jaime was ready to surf.

Jamie Wright says “Surfing with Cody was an amazing experience, he was a great teacher and we just had so much fun riding waves together. ”

Cody quote:

“I am so proud of Jaime. The surfing conditions weren’t perfect, but she charged it like a mad man and had the best time of her life. I had fun seeing her smile and having a good time. She is now a surfer girl.”

Jaime claim to fame has been fronting for a local beer brand, but Bondi Blonde babe Jaime Wright was popping the champagne this week after landing herself a deal with surfwear giant Hot Tuna.

The 27-year-old posed for the label’s latest clothing campaign on the streets of Bondi and Paddington recently, ahead of inking the deal as the Aussie face of the brand in Las Vegas last month.

While her first foray into the international fashion market hit a hurdle last year when Paris Hilton reportedly pulled out of an endorsement arrangement for Wright’s own shoe brand, it appears to have laid the groundwork for her Hot Tuna gig.
