John John Florence, b-side Restaurants swoop, Fiji

No competition today at the Volcom Fiji Pro sure is a bummer, even though it can’t particularly be helped. You can only watch a replay so many times, right? One man whose replays are most worthy of your attention is John John Florence. Most importantly, his 19.80 combined heat total over Bede Durbidge. He then unspectacularly beat Damien Hobgood by 0.04 – but that might’ve been ’cause the conditions took a breather in their heat and got all pinchy. While John John’s backside tube game is beyond apt adjectives and synonymous with his existence, he can also stab a left, as you’ll observe above. How ’bout that pulled-back angle?
