Is Bobby Martinez just be getting better? Judging by the Jiu Jitsu and training interludes in this clip, he is operating at peak physical form. His agility around the heavy bag link to his ageless backhand. Here’s Bobby around home and testing out his Channel Islands quiver at mostly imperfect, brown Rincon. Also included: Cameos by Dane Reynolds and the Coffin brothers–gents who surf Santa Barbara’s famous right point so good it’s patronising. If there’s anything to learn from “Bobby and friends”, it’s when you hit the heavy bag like that, you can call whatever you want a “fucking tennis tour”. Do yourself a favour and tune in at the six-minute mark for decent waves (and to validate that opening line).
