Welcome back four-time repeater guest, Jack Robinson, to The Lineup! Dave and Jack jump into the biggest changes since his last appearance, having a baby boy, how fatherhood affects him as a competitor and otherwise, and how he manages his time now. Jack talks about working with both Arakawa and Sharp Eye surfboards and the trust built over the years to be able to switch between boards. Jack recaps his early season win at Sunset this year, and his mindset heading into the 2024 CT Season. He and Dave dive into his partnership with Samsung and his decision to join Team Samsung Galaxy. They discuss the surf documentary that Jack is featured heavily in and Samsung is producing, designed to spotlight and celebrate surfing and the surfing community on the Road to Paris 2024. They reflect on the importance of openness and being a global citizen and how that has helped him as a competitor all across the globe. They close on what’s next for Jack, touching on surfing Cloudbreak later in the year and the WSL Finals, before answering instagram questions and the infamous Lightning Round.
