Johnny Florence, Ehukai Beach Park, Hawaii

Hawaii’s shown its first signs of life in a week. In recent years, the day y’see here would’ve been a down-day, but in light of the recent lack of swell, it became a work day. Sure, it was a junky swell, battered by rain and wind, but everyone was on it and no-one was complaining. Johnny Florenzo, pictured here, was just steps away from his backdoor, throwing backside roters into the trade winds – and loving every second of it. Oh, and, the Reef Hawaiian Pro has finally kicked off at Haleiwa, too. Jump on that here.
