Claim to Fame:	One thing you can count on at Westerns, there are always waves. And again, HB lights up again with a hefty 4-6 foot swell that would basically last the entire 4-day window. Jabe took advantage of the bombing surf and yes, the classic and diverse HB challenging conditions and he aced it. His surfing was on point from the opening round. The Open Mens final was as solid as you can get with Jabe, Dimitri Poulos, Japan’s Tenshi Iwami and 2018 defending champion Tommy McKeown. In the final it was game on and Jabe threaded combos of rail and freestyle maneuvers which is always the path to victory on southside. He torched a set wave earning an 8.40 and crushed a backup of 7.93. With the win, Jabe made his Nationals mission statement loud and clear. “I’m going to keep practicing surfing in beach breaks.” The newly crowned Open Mens Regional Champ is a smart man.
