Beats Mason Ho and Jamie O’Brien with one wave in a piss monsoon!
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve reached adulthood. Time flies by so fast!
Do you remember when Jack Robinson was a tween with a hacksaw haircut and squeezing the trigger on five-foot oops at Gas Bay? You could almost imagine him sitting in your lap cooing like a pussycat.
Today, surfing against men almost twice his age, including the fleshy, but not really fat, Jamie O’Brien, who finished second, Jack’s vigour and skill was announced. In every heat, but his semi, he had the highest scoring wave.
In waves heavy enough that Sunny Garcia wasn’t even sure the contest should’ve been called on.
From his first heat, Jack Robinson was maddeningly perfect.
And there was a quarter final where he served his opponents nuts.
A semi-final walkthrough.
And the final where he cut open Jamie O’Brien, Mason Ho and Kekoa Cazimero with… one wave.
“Jack absolutely killed it,” said Jamie O’Brien afterwards.
He did.
Welcome to adulthood.

Unfortunately Sunny had a valid point
I just put Robo and JOB on my fantasy team. Mistake? Haha, no.
Jack Jack Robinson!!
how do they decide the seedings of the wildcards? seems a bit too #youcantscriptthis that Mick ends up with washed up old Bruce and ADS and Toledo get the in form trial winners
(and no idea how he goes at Pipe but Gabs gets the triple crown leader. and Mick gets Bruce.)
exactly what i was thinking. seems that the way is being paved for a micktory.
More importantly…what’s the word on Owen Wright?
Blood on the brain. Transferred to queens hospital
That is definitely not good. They won’t let him surf, right?
surely not.
He just posted that he is, in fact, out. I feel bad for him. But I assume that Mason Ho gets his spot in the comp?
Mason Ho is a good replacement. He’ll do good
And he has certainly proven you right. Added bonus of the best post heat interviews in the business.
runnin’ that bowl cut suuuuuper hard
Why are the WSL heat recaps 9 minutes long? Useless…
