Jack Robinson qualifies for WSL World Tour amidst controversy with Zeke Lau due to surf eitiquette faux pas!

I don’t see how that’s not an interference.
That being said a paddling interference (I think) results in the lower scored wave is cut in half.
In that case Robo still wins.

I don't think the paddler was trying to interfere with the ride, just make it under to get back out, so I'd say it's an accident, but, uhhh, fckn wear it and scrub it, sticker boy.
I swear I see slight looks of disbelief on people's faces when I angle deeper instead of fckng their line up.

I don't know lagunaboy. Yes Jack dominated that heat but that was clearly interference. Jack got in his way....... no doubt.... and it was early in the heat and resulted in a broken board for Zeke. Cut Jack's 2nd score in half for the interference, Zeke get's a score for making a barrel and doesn't break his board causing a delay.... things MAY have ended different.
Zeke and Keanu are BORING on Tour. Zeke can surf a little better but, meh
even if Robertson got an interference, that wouldn't have guaranteed Zeke's spot on the CT. It was early in the heat and who knows whether the outcome would have been same or different. it's a new type of interference I don't recall happening before in a heat, or a heat of significance for the judges to make a call right then. unfortunately Zeke had to take the hit for something that will probably be called in the future.
lol
The interesting thing is he was obviously trying to avoid a beating and a broken board or leash.
Instead he started paddling as fast as possible for the shoulder he should've been made an abrupt right as soon a Zeke took off.
If it was determined to be an interference robo still wins the heat.
Can’t really blame Zeke for his lack of basic math skills being that he’s a product of a Hawaiian education.

All the time.
The paddle for the shoulder thing has now become commonplace.
I've actually had guys paddle into me going for the shoulder when they should be paddling for the whitewater. As in, I'm paddling for the whitewater and they're paddling for the shoulder. And this is in hollow, overhead reef waves where people have enough skill they should know better.
think his argument was Jack would have been flustered after getting the interference and not gotten the second high score. that's a BIG if
I dunno about flustered.
But he would've gotten worked and a good chance of some equipment issues.
Time.
Those issues ended up being Zeke's problem.
He for sure got hosed, but blasting this on social media is pretty weak. Zeke had five 17th place finishes and two 33rd place finishes on tour this year.
