SI Swimsuit Rookie Rayna Vallandingham Deserves Your Attention ASAP (And Could Also Fade You Into Bolivian With Her 4th Degree Black Belt)
Folks meet Rayna Vallandingham, a 22 year old martial arts master who also dabbles in acting & influencing future nunchuck padawans on social media. Some of you might recognize her as Zara Malik from 'Cobra Kai' S6 too
Clearly putting her *actual* 4th degree black belt to good use!
I only knew her as the badass bo-staff chick that kept popping up in my IG Reel feed. Maybe it's just because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were my 1st love in life, but it was immediately clear Rayna had some serious juice. Not just a pretty face but someone who could inspire you simply by honing her craft. Someone who could make Master Splinter proud. She ain't a 13x World Champion in Tae Kwon Do champion for no reason!
And over the past year I've witnessed her have about the best year a human possibly could? She constantly traveled the world, worked out on the beach, fucked around with various deadly weapons, wore incredible outfits in paradise, and ended up with 4 million followers by the end of 2024. Not too shabby for someone who can't even rent a car yet.

Now she's already knocked out 2025 by ending up as a SI Swimsuit Rookie and making her world premiere in their upcoming issue. Kung POW.

There's no doubt she's a scorching hot human but honestly, to me the martial arts montages are even more impressive than all the beach bikinis. Maybe it's just because the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were my 2nd love in life, but this shit fucking RULES.
Shout out Tommy!
PEAK FEMALE PERFORMANCE. And maybe it's just because Biker Mice From Mars was my 3rd love in life, but there's just something about a black & red fit (with a weapon wall) that really does it for me.
Shout out Throttle!

The other outfits are pretty good too. Unfortunately I can't embed her IG Reels with all the weapon montages but I assure you they're worth the click.
Congrats to Rayna on her big magazine premiere and what will certainly become world domination within the next decade. She can fade me into Bolivian any day of the week, and thrice on Sunday. I can also delivur.
