Jack O’Grady turned pro and premiered his new part with an audience of Australia’s most buck. See who made it out to welcome our guy to the big leagues.

Before the crowd arrives, Geoff puts the finishing cuts on the timeline, overlooked by the Queen

Starting off, Kirsky, Madi and Lob get fueled up for the night’s festivities

Open bar means Mappy's double-parkin' the free beers

Love was in the air, especially between Chima and Sammy. From the looks of it, Australia's got a better handle on the COVID situation

No shortage of heavy rippers on the scene—Digby, Riley Pavey, Shaun Paul, Rowan Davis, Gabbers and Mappy

Representatives from UPS and 335 take their places. Pommy George, Cameron Fraser, Aidan, Riwaz and Sexy Eyes

Our first glimpse at the man of the hour. Chokehold your friends close.

The GOATS

Beau Reid and Josh Pall havin' a laugh. Maybe they saw a sneak peak at Jack's ludicrous clips

Outside, the patio was just as popped off as the hall. Vanessa, Cody Riley and company hang in the fresh air

You okay, Nat? 

We got Rowan and Corey in the building! The future is bright

Finally, we got our guy a dish. Squish and Midsy tucking in

Scoady and his new best mate queue up

We love the “sports barrrr!”

Old SYD heads vs old MELB SYD heads

Jack wouldn't be puttin' down half the hammers without these two behind him. Give it up for the ladies of the hour!

We can't start the video 'til everyone gets a moment alone with the new professional

And now for a sacred ritual, the presentation of the Pass~Port ring. That's high praise

Finally, the video plays and the test audience for Jack's new part is in agreement—it’s a hit!

Pro as fuck!

Not one, but two! Look for these out in the wild soon

As if his ring and board weren’t enough, the gift giving continues. Gear stick set in resin = heavy as hell

Grandma was beside herself

“When one of us wins, we all win”

Surfs up!

Now it's Geoff's turn! It's a team effort, afterall

Time to close out the tab, we knew it was coming. Is this a tax write-off?

One more with Grandma—this is what it’s all about

Give 'em hell, Pam!

The O’Gradys. Family is everything

And what's a pro party without an afterparty?

Pro tip: Bluetooth in hand keeps the good times mobile

Team Nerd

Who doesn’t love a trampoline?! That's it for the night. Thanks to everyone who made it out to celebrate our guy on his well deserved promotion. We can't wait for you to see all Jack's hard work when it comes out on this very site.
