Interview with Jack Robinson,
the best teenage surfer on the planet!
Jack, where do you live? I live in the west of Australia. I see. Do you live in a big city? No, I don’t. I live in Margaret River. It’s a quiet town near the beach. That’s interesting. How often do you exercise? I exercise every day. I love it! And when and where do you go surfing? Well, I go surfing when there are big waves. It’s always a good idea to catch a wave! And I usually go to the beaches near my home. But I also travel around the world to go surfing. France, Spain, California, Tahiti and Hawaii have great waves. And what other activities do you do? I often go fishing and I sometimes go exploring in the forests near my home. I also play table tennis with my friends. It’s fun! You’re famous for your surf – and for your haircut too! Do YOU cut your hair? No, I don’t. My father cuts my hair but I always give him a few tips. I like my haircut. And it’s ideal for surfing. I don’t want my hair on my face when I surf! 2013 #1 on Surfer Magazine Hot 100 Junior list 2014 Winner of North Shore Surf Shop Pro Junior Competition, Sunset Beach, Hawaii
