Sam Jones is a young surfer from Sydney's Northern Beaches. 15-years young, to be exact. Sam has stepped up to the plate during a couple of swells this past winter, paddling out on the biggest days and spinning 'round on the set waves .

Here Sam steps up during a session just over a week ago. He drops in late, negotiates the step then arcs it off the bottom.

Unfortunately that's all the footage we've got so if you wanna know how the rest of the wave goes you'll need to use your imagination. Me, I'm calling a succesfully threaded pit through the inside.
