Defending Margaret River Pro champ withdraws from pet event 12 months since he cooked John John Florence like a hamburger on a griddle!
Only days after the WSL judging panel opened the door for an Australian to win the world title at Lowers, conspicuously kneecapping the small-wave wizard Filipe Toledo at Bells, world number two Jack Robinson has pulled out of his hometown event, the Margaret River Pro.
Twenty-five-year-old Robinson, a former child prodigy who now stands at an impressive six feet and with 185 pounds of ballast, the musculature of his surf-honed deltoids delivering a raw sexuality generally only noted in big-dicked black guys and rarely seen in white males, injured his knee in his losing heat to Victorian wildcard Xavier Huxtable, who is no relation to Cliff Huxtable, the TV obstetrician played by BIPOC Quaalude enthusiast Bill Cosby.
You’ll remember last year, Robinson accounted for the two-time world champ and two-time winner of the Margaret River Pro, John John Florence, using airs and a three-turn combo to cook the Hawaiian like a hamburger on a griddle.
Where John John used rail to build an early lead, Jackie was an artist at his peak, kicking into gear mid-final, licking his stank fingers after each near-perfect ride, including a wild end section 540.
From Robinson’s IG.
“During my heat at Bells, I ended up injuring my meniscus (cartilage in my knee). After reviewing with a few specialists, and discussions with my team, I’ll be pulling out of the Margaret River Pro. As you all know, Margs is my home break, and I’m always looking forward to being in @westernaustralia. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete at Margs, but it’s what’s best for my recovery and long term goals. Next week I’ll be starting physiotherapy. I’m confident I’ll be back for the next event. It’s a long year and we are just starting! Thanks for all your support! ”

A Motivated Derek is a site to behold….
So true, unless you are paddling and surrounded by the JetSki crews.
Which btw , is reassuring really.
So I’ll just move right along and complain about something else.
How hard is it to get a park nowadays!!!
That Jake Willcox bloke must also be on his last legs , never quite made it to the big league , but showed promise for a while , just never broke through goes to prove you have to have more than one weapon in your belt.

It’s like his own literary genre refining before our eyes.
Oh you’ve visited? What’s the restaurant scene like?
the wine list is epic but menu pretty mehhh otherwise…mainly bread and seafood, although it is all you can eat.
medication via the needle!
The website and app are god awful
The second paragraph is a masterpiece.
Inspired journalism.
These two honed surf journalist our sparring…with the finer creative script of tragic sport love wozl genre!
my lil heart is pitter-paddering with excrement over the loss of JR, with the lost ballast of a big Aussie dick, and the thought that we’re both using ‘ludes to kill the pain of being raped; or numbing the pain while thinkin hard about raping…Oh, the horror…of which surfer is going to violate Marg’s? When the contest starts, I’ll switch gears and move to stimulants…when the going gets rough, I’ll turn to alcohol…and when things get exciting, I’ll start to puff!
Imagine being below the cut with same dodgy knee – make or break
Send ELO out there in Robo’s place. NonJohn would pay many electronic funds to watch that, bigly.
There goes Derek mixing his day job (BG) with his side hustle…ghostwriting Grindr profiles.
Thank you Captain Obvious!
Derek he said he’s “pulling out” and you let it slide? Step ya game up!
Low hanging fruit..
Tell that to Pipeline bra!
waimea rivermouth & (waimea main break) &…El Porto & Daytona 500 (after the rain)…lots of boogers in the H2O and on the track…time stands still as the crowd lines the beaches & stands…waiting for a crash!
