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.
