He's still only a 14 year-old grom, but budding West Australian superstar Jack Robinson has had quite an impact at the Billabong World Junior Championship after being given a wildcard entry by the organisers. His Australia Day match-up against 2011 Junior World Champion Jack Freestone was the most anticipated heat so far, but the youngster couldn't match the junior veteran's power and experience, and was bundled out of the contest.

Here's a wave-by-wave look at Jack Robbo's week in the not-so-sunny Sunshine State.
