Kelly Slater has endorsed Jack Robinson as the World Surf League’s “most clutch guy” after the Australian locked in a third-straight Finals appearance. Red-hot Robinson secured his berth in the title-deciding finals day after winning a heart-stopping round-of-16 clash in the Fiji Pro on Friday. Compatriot Molly Picklum then did similar to earn a second-straight appearance at the top-five, one-day, winner-take-all showdown at Lower Trestles in California next month.
” Eleven-time world champion Slater, given a wildcard for Fiji in what was likely his tour farewell, said Robinson was ready to go all the way this year. “Jack seems like he can’t put a foot wrong in critical situations,” the American said. “In these high pressure heats, where sometimes he’s the underdog ... so much is on the line and he just nails it. “He’s been the most clutch guy in the past couple of years in those heats.
