This Girl Is Good
And Jackson Dorian is an A+ sparring partner.
Erin Brooks is the most technically gifted 13-year-old we’ve seen since Caroline Marks.
While she’s yet to gain enough size and power necessary to compete with the world’s best, Erin’s technique is mechanically flawless, whether it’s on the face, in the barrel, or in the air…frontside and backside.
Watch the wave at 2:24 in the clip above. The skeptic in you will want to scream, “SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEEPER.” Fair enough. But depth is easy to improve upon. A perfect pigdog, however, takes years to attain. And the turn after the pocket-ride speaks for itself.
Which brings us to Jackson Dorian. Shane’s little boy—whose body type uncannily reflects that of his godfather, K. Slater—displays an increasing fearlessness and ability in waves of the natural variety. He, too, will be a world-beater when the growth hormones kick in.
In short (get it?), this is the future. And the future is bright.
