Watch: Jake Vincent Receives His Stab High Golden Ticket

How does a trip to Texas sound for a b-day gift?

Go ahead and ask soon-to-be 23 year-old Jake Vincent.

Vinny loves the air, and this is an air show, so we had Johnny, our Waco pin-up up boy, wear the international rates, pick up the phone and extend the invite. 

Jake was in Sri Lanka, far from his regular haunt on the Sunshine Coast, shooting with his sister, Jaleesa and the rest of the Misfit Shapes clan when Johnny delivered the news. No doubt it came as a surprise (see above).

Some surfers are born with competitive fire, a relentless passion to succeed, a drive to do anything and everything they can to achieve their goals. Jake, like most Aussies under 30, isn’t one of them.

He is, however, going to enjoy the transition into the 23rd year of his life, whether it be in the pool, the park, or with 12 oz tin in his hand.

“I’m obviously super pumped to surf the pool and whatever, but I’m also super keen to check that whole theme park!” Jake boyishly told Stab after hearing the news. 

“I’m gonna go on those big waterslides, down the little river raft, do a bit of sightseeing, check out Waco, check out Austin, chow down on some burgers and a couple of 40 ouncers – just immerse myself in the local culture!

“We’ll definitely be wetting the palette with a couple of Lonestars. I’ll be getting into some of that barbie sauce, too, heaps of meat. We’ve been in Sri Lanka, then Indo, so we’ve got our rice dosage for the rest of the year. Pretty excited to get a bit of meat in me!”

What about the wave, that Waco-born kicker, the perfect manmade air section!? 

“It looks pretty red hot Vinny zone; two-foot wave, not too big, not too scary [laughs]!
