JOB's store was robbed and he is looking for those responsible.

He shared a video of the moment one of his boards was stolen; "If you recognize them, send me a direct message. I'd really like to talk to them and their parents."


Three teenagers entered a Jamie O'Brien store, one broke away from the group, went to the fitting room, unhooked the Tokoro and took it out the back door.

All captured on camera and shared on Instagram with the caption: "Please help me identify these kids. They came into our @jobschoolofsurf shop with a clear plan: Steal my surfboard. I'd like to believe their parents raised them better than to break into a local business and steal; it's not only disappointing, but unacceptable."

If you recognize them, please send me a direct message. I'd really like to talk to them and their parents, because this type of behavior needs to be addressed now before it becomes a pattern.

Actions have consequences. Let's teach them that lesson."

The IG messages echo JOB's sentiments and have Slater and other figures from the surfing world defending him.
