I have been watching the action at Pipe over the course of the last few weeks on CZcams and noticed this surfer who makes his surfing do all the talking for him. His style and power just stood out head and shoulders above the rest, and dare I say it I felt he was the only surfer out there on a level with John John Florence. Maybe even better. Soon enough I heard this young chap's name - Jack Robinson. I have been blown away by his pure talent and was shocked now to see how young he is. I reckon he has World Champion stuff in his veins. He is definitely one to watch.
He is a future world champ for sure, I have been blown away only just discovering him lately, his speed, flow and effortless perfect turns reminds me of the closest thing I have ever seen to Kelly Slater.
Him And Baron Mamiya are the freak level talents of this generation. It's almost absurd the preternatural depth of understanding of body and wave dynamics.
W T F !!!!! I've never seen a human being go from paddling position to standing on a surfboard position like that in my life!..? Is this guy an alien!!? .. And then!,.. He stands backside in one of the most Torrid barrels on the planet Earth like he's standing in line for ice cream or something!?
Oh Evolution you unrelenting force of nature! To see Laird slay this beast just a short time ago and now young groms treating it as if it were routine. We humans are unreal.
This could have been a great clip but then some stupid editor decides to run it all in slomo and we get no sense of the power and speed of these incredible waves at all. News Flash : heavy powerful waves like this is a great viewing experience, when run at actual speed.
I wonder what his mother worries when he surfs this spot. One of my kids got well mauled at Cloudbreak a few years ago but it didn’t deter him one little bit.
He looked like he was just waiting for a bus every time he got a wave! That’s how comfortable he looked. So thrilled he one in Mexico! Now for the WSL title. Come on Jack!!!
ahah i was on the boat with these dudes, finally posting it 5 years later!!! lol i have a clip of the wave @1:40 check it out, just uploaded it, sorry its vert
I'd imagine he's fairly at peace with you having your point of view. He's living a great life, using a talent that few people are gifted with. I doubt he even sees what nonentities think of him... he's too busy living fully.
Apologies for the non-surfing question but my kid asked me - what is this song? They lift the "jewels flashing in the light of time" from Joseph Conrad

I've been watching North Shore videos daily this winter. Jack has been all over it. Crushing it. I didn't know he was so young.

Impressive, gnarly takeoffs; that Jack has the technical skills and grace under pressure.
Seems like a nice lad as well. 🤙
This could’ve been the tittle of the video. Spot on.
...and he wasn't towed into the waves. Those late take offs were incredible!
Jack's style is like a subtle blend of JJ and KS.
How does this not have a million likes? What a talent!
That is some smooth technical backside flow and agility. Right on Jack!
Young Jack seems to have a promising future.
In the world of athleticism there is nothing that requires so much precision, courage, understanding, presence. This young man is special.
This guy was already bombing barrels in 2012 or earlier….. he's a vet now. He's 22 years of age now. Slater had the WCT world title at age 20.
So ?
@@cjones5332 ''Young''. In pro surfing, 'young' is teens and under.

He just makes it look like he's totally relaxed and it's a two foot beachie.
The coolest sick drops...insane kid

Heard of Medina?
"good day caught a few waves." wtf

The Greenough haircut is so cool.
Unreal, I forgot about this session.
Extraordinary beauty video. This is a wonderful element in the water.

Absolutely Awesome surfing - incredible to watch (but I had to turn the soundtrack off because it was so obnoxious)
Andy came back as Jack!!!!
Move aside Slater/JJF. Jack is standing even taller in the pit
Amazing his composure in those sick critical pits
so relaxed, it's hard to believe...but there it is.
Interval between catching wave and necessity of getting to your feet is shorter at this break than any other.
Natural and loose in those waves. 🤙
The kids growing up now.
He's got a world class air game also. Future title contender.
board vertical and almost free falling into the face..... yeah Jack try not to think and just use the force young Jedi .... yeeeow

One of the best

Thank god he sorted his hair out

Small board indeed, and, Teahupoo is, a french eatery! You used, Mexican oil refinery!
Parabéns surf muito que estiloso ....quebrou...monxxxtro 😄🤙

I wonder what his mother worries when he surfs this spot. One of my kids got well mauled at Cloudbreak a few years ago but it didn’t deter him one little bit.
so relaxed
Amazing!
@0:48 Dang he's deep!!!
Jack s where it 's at.
Yes Yah Si Bai Oui

Wow, how old when was Jack when that was filmed? Where's John John, haha😂 did he surf chopes at that age or something just as heavy

Amazing kid.
Epic.
Looks like Jack is riding a Dylan (Predator model?) 🏄
It s today?
Waves of mortal conequence
2:06 is as good as it gets
He looked like he was just waiting for a bus every time he got a wave! That’s how comfortable he looked. So thrilled he one in Mexico! Now for the WSL title. Come on Jack!!!

gnar, thanks
he grabbed his rail like once...
Not for function, just checking to see how nice the rails on his new boards were! Looks so relaxed.
Nice one 🤐
Our favorite gringo, if is not a brazzo it will be a robbo
I have surfed that big but not that heavy
Me too. That is more ssw direction than straight west bowl. West Bowl is fucking gnarly

"Great" but old footage. Just saying
Haha, you think?
@@bh2861 2015 i was there that day
@Tim Brady not sure his age maybe 17
go to work. no more money left
Chopes looks all the same.
I think if you make the drop, the rest is relatively easy.......that is still a big deal!
Full on Gnar
Today's surfers remind me of today's AFL footballers. Drones.

What's with the boy band crap? I.had to mute...
Horrible soundtrack!
