His girlfriend (later wife) Jenny Jobson had arrived in Hawaii just in time for the final and thought he was going to be so stubborn that he'd give up the title rather than give up the inside.

He was so nervous he fell on a couple, but in the end did enough to take the win and take the title he hadn't even intended competing for."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747709762620126283.post-54505819019405149732010-07-05T15:50:30.944+10:002010-07-05T15:50:30.944+10:00PT kicked his arse!

Rabbit said the wave blew his mind.

I still cringe at the thought of them >_<<BR/>And as far as contests go they wouldn't have seen daylight had the '76 'Bells' pro-am not been rigged to stop a publicly discredited Michael Peterson winning, virtually ending the career of the best contest surfer of the era!ed treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826405771024391873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747709762620126283.post-69909885264836887902009-02-09T11:04:00.000+11:002009-02-09T11:04:00.000+11:00i have to admit it, I DID cry........Jim Banks mus...i have to admit it, I DID cry........Jim Banks must surely be one of the most underrated (at least in public) shapers Australia has ever produced....and here is one of his 'early masterpieces'........truly a sight to behold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
