Australian surfer Jack Robinson recently posted two images on Instagram. In the first, a 12-year-old Robinson glides effortlessly through a barrel at G-Land. With his knee bent, one hand on the rail of his surfboard and the other caressing the water, Robinson looks at home in the heart of the wave.
The second image, taken during the recent World Surf League event at the same famous Indonesian break, which Robinson won, is almost identical. Same wave, same stance, same style – but with 12 years separating the photos. “Then and now,” he wrote.
