Jacob Willcox 'officially' qualified today after making the round of 32 in Ericeira. After three years of coming so close we can all let out a collective sigh of relief. The following quote from Jacob was taken at the start of the year when he submitted his entry for SEOTY. Pretty cool it all came true. “I will pretty much keep doing it until the funds say no. I feel like I’ve been putting in a lot of work to improve myself and improve my surfing, so I think at least if it doesn’t happen in these next couple of years, then I’ll be like, “Fuck, at least I gave it my all.” That’s probably another big reason that I’m over here in the Gold Coast. I’m giving myself 100% the best chance I can have of qualifying. I don’t want to be that guy that’s fucking sitting at the pub in 10 years or 20 years going, ‘I could’ve done that’. At least I know. Honestly, I believe my best years are still to come. Some people might not agree but they can get fucked. I reckon I’m coming into my prime with everything,” he laughs.
