Jadson started surfing at the age of 10 on the beaches of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, including Ponta Negra beach, one of the mais tourist city spot sights, where Morro do Careca is located.

Before long though, he started winning local comps, and was offered a contract with Oakley, and hit the international circuit.

He qualified for the CT in 2010 and in his rookie season won at home at the Billabong Pro Santa Catarina defeating none other than Kelly Slater in the Final.

[5] One of his greatest achievements in the sport was the title of the Brazilian leg of the ASP World Tour held in 2010, in Imbituba (SC) with a brilliant victory, beating one of the greatest surfers in activity, the American Kelly Slater, eleven times world champion.

Brazil's last title at home had been with former brazilian surfer Peterson Rosa, from Paraná, in 1998, when he was still competing in the tour.
