Hey Brooko ,

The waves along the Surfcoast yesterday morning was all-time.

Adam Robertson was ripping to beat Bede at Bells.

Adam's in Heat 5 / round 3 ......against Tom Whitaker , they will make a call at 10am today if the comp will go ahead as it's strong Westerly wind and building swell!!

Good Luck Adam.

Rich, I'm holding off for a day to get down there, weather/wind not so good at the moment but tomorrow looking better. Also I'll have a better chance of catching the finals tomorrow or Friday.

Correct-watched his heat live-pipped Tommy Whitts.

Adam Robinson is bloody good surfer-great style.

Dad must be super proud!

He surfed a really good heat. I was lucky to down there for a few heats.
The top half of the draw is crazy, CJ, Parko, Mick & Jordy Smith. Only one of them will make the final.
The bottom half is really wide open. My money is on Kekoa as he has been surfing mental. His 9 in the 3rd round was one of the waves of the contest. BUT I hope Robbo beats him, my fingers are crossed.

I have a feeling Fanning will ring the bell but I'd rather see Parko take it out.
(or the fairytail Adam Robbo win!!!)

If the swell is big and powerful Adam can take out any of these guys no fear!!
He is a very under rated surfer, the guy shreds and throws buckets.

Robdog is stoked and so he should be, he taught Ad everything he knows

Young RobDog gets a 2nd-surfed all the way through from the trials-bloody ripper-one proud dad I bet.

Congratulations.

Nice one mini Robdog - runner-up bell ringer - massive achievement.

He said on the presentation dais that "this is probably the best day of my life" ... I reckon you're probably right Robbo!

Yeah awesome stuff for the Robbos, didnt lose a heat all the way through as a wildcard.
Parko had an awesome heat with a 9 .5 or what ever.

I was down there for all the action today. Robbo again surfed really well to get through to the final but was out-surfed by Parko. Robbo shouldn't have been combo'ed though, Parko's 9.5 was way over scored! Judging was a bit suss but Parko deserved it.

Sooo good to see a Vico boy do so well and an all OZ final!

I was lucky enough to catch up with Robdog (Peter) during the finals. I asked him how Adam was feeling, Peter reckoned Adam was going with the flow, nice and relaxed. Robdog said he was the nervous reck, rightly so. How proud as a father would you be.
I had my 3 and 5 year old girls with me, they were having a ball from the electric atmosphere on the Bells beach. My 3 year old was pointing out all the sets coming through, great start.

Well done Robbo family/team.

Hey Brooko,
I had the pleasure of watching Adam in the finals on Friday and SUPing with Robdog Sat and Sun at Roadknight.
It was amazing the crowd support Adam had during the finals, what a buzz.
No wonder Robdog had a smile from ear to ear over the weekend, it will be a week that he won't forget in a hurry.

Ian
