  • Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
  • Raised on the sand at Pipeline and striking swells to Tahiti since he was a teenager, at 31, Hawaiian-born 2x World Champion John John Florence is inarguably one of the best surfers ever at Teahupo'o.
    Besides his deep relationship with the community and experience at the wave, John is one of the most naturally gifted, technical backside tuberiders on the planet.
    Catching his first wave at six months old, John John was touted as a prodigy and appeared as a youth phenom in international surf magazines and surf films before he was even in high school.
    However, surfers like John don't emerge from a vacuum. The oldest of three brothers, John, Ivan and Nathan's mother Alexandra didn't have your standard single mother lifestyle, with John and the boys being taken under wing by the world's best surfer and looked out for by the entire North Shore community.
    Despite a handful of frustrating injuries (broken back, wrist, arm, leg, and more) since qualifying for the World Championship Tour, John John won the Pipe Masters, the Triple Crown, and two back to back World Title's in 2016 and 2017, all while consistently producing and starring in fan-favorite surf films that are as high art as they are performance, and earning John multiple Surfer Poll Awards throughout his career.
    With the Gold Medal on the line at one of his favorite waves in the world, John John Florence is not to be missed at Teahupo'o this month.

    There are surfers and there are watermen. And there are surfers who are watermen. JJF is one of those and it shows when he is in the water!

    It's always a pleasure to watch John surfs. Guy is an artist. Him and simmers are talents that we will see for many years getting the best barrels and waves out there.

    The perfect combination of style and technique, especially in the barrel. Few surfers in the world can look more comfortable than JJF in a heaving slab.

    He sat his butt down into the water at a wave that basically could pull him back and over so fast so hard!!! Now that’s comfort in the eye of the storm 😮😎😎😎😎
