John Florence wins the 2013 Volcom Pipe Pro

John Florence just won the Volcom Pipe Pro. Again. That’s three in a row, thanks. He beat Chris Ward, Josh Kerr and Ola Eleogram (in that order) in the final, via a whole lot of Backdoor wind protection. On his way to the final, John won all but one heat (he lost to Wardo in the round of 32, but settled that score in the final). Oh, and there was that divine backside full rote. But the tuberiding was untouchable, and it just earned him a third gladiator helmut trophy. Are you surprised? Go watch all the heats on demand over here.
