Globe get the signature of Stab’s 2020 ‘Best Junior’.

If you thought signing Austyn Gillette was the only big Globe were gonna be making this year, you were clearly very wrong… The environmentally focussed company have welcomed 17-year-old Lennox Head native Jai Glindeman to their surf team officially today, highlighting their intention to be on board with the next big wave of young surfers.

You might have seen Jai in last year’s COVID At Home or in Stab’s Electric Acid Microdose: Jai Glindeman, but it was his “breakout” surfing in 2019 Pupthat caught the attention of Globe Surf Team Manager Beren Hall. “You just don’t see kids his age surf with that much style – especially in heavy waves like Cloudbreak. Filming for Pup was actually the first time Jai had surfed big barrelling lefts – which honestly blew my mind,” Beren says.
