EP 109: Jack Robinson Returns - Returning to Margaret River, Margaret River Pro, Dealing with hype at a young age, Pipeline vs. The Box, Making the Mid-Season Cut, His eye-opening win in Mexico, and What he’s looking forward to in the season’s 2nd half

Championship Tour star and Margaret River local Jack Robinson joins the podcast to talk about the Mid-season Cut-deciding event being held at his home break. He discusses his welcome return to Western Australia after spending 10 months of the year away, his passion for his home waves, and his excitement for potentially surfing at The Box. He breaks down his start to the season, including a strong 3rd place finish at the last event in Bells Beach that confirmed he had made the Mid-season Cut, and his focus turning from the pressure of the cut to making the WSL Final 5. He looks back at his road from Margaret River to the Championship Tour, how he dealt with intense hype from the media, fans, and sponsors from a very young age, how he doesn’t get distracted by comparisons to iconic surfers, and how his win last year in Mexico showed him surfing freely can have a real impact. Jack also talks about Pipeline versus The Box, filming Stab in the Dark, his thoughts on the season’s second half, Gabriel Medina’s return at G-Land, and much more.
