Australian Jack Robinson has pulled off a huge aerial before breaking two of his surfboards on the way to booking a round three berth at the El Salvador Pro.
In five-to-seven foot waves at La Punta Roca, Robinson produced a massive front side air on his first wave to set the tone in his heat against American Cole Houshmand.
That aerial may have taken a toll on Robinson's board, which buckled on his very next wave.
Robinson quickly made his way across to his surf caddy to collect one of his spare boards.
But calamity struck again with less than four minutes remaining in the heat, with Robinson breaking a second board as he produced a series of sharp turns on a wave that helped thrust him back into the lead.
