Jack Robinson: Breakthrough - video

It's a clip that starts quietly - call it a slow burner - but steadily builds into an inferno. Jack Robinson ratchets up the notch in every department: next level airs; deep, intuitive barrel riding; and heavy water drops. Then add some full rail carves to keep the purists happy.

A well-rounded act? Imagine him in a few years...

Cross between JJF and a young AI.

Our great white hope?

Can he surf 2ft waves?

Will this kid have a crack at the tour or is he just interested in doing his own thing? Either way I'd watch

Some of those sliding, double hand stall side-ways drops into KR, NP etc were insane!

I remember seeing Jack up north a few years back shitting himself at that left at 1:37 ... few years later (along with Jacob Wilcox) he is absolutely slaying it .... crazy fast progression and a good kid to boot

How's that one wave at Jimmy's right .
You can tell he's been surfing with / being pushed by guys like Rohan Annesley etc.
fearless . Again I'm a big fan of anyone who stands tall on their backhand , great to see him pumping hands free in the tube, backhand .

That was awesome. I suppose if the comp scene doesn't work out he can always go to plan B & get paid big bucks to just free surf. Win win........

He's had such a mature style since really young and nice kid. It was said almost 10 yrs ago that if he carries on surfing like he does he could easily be world no1. Good to see he's still on the same path. Great surfing!

He blows all my excuses out of the water. He's so damn young, built like a table tennis player and he charges waves where I wouldn't even get my board wet. Bastard.

Good to see this kid's got some continuity in his style. No, not his surfing style, his hair style. Been rocking the Greenough slash Calimero bowl-cut since birth.
