Eli Olson, from Hawaii to Tahiti

You know you’re doing something right when Mick Fanning is posting news of your latest clip on Instagram. This is Eli Olson’s latest offerings, showing the division of his life between surfing, jujitsu and his travels over the past 12 months. He’s one of John Florence’s best mates and relishes in the juice from Pipeline to Tahiti but it’s refreshing to see an individual edit from the gent, rather than just his name tagged on the bottom line of a story about another Florence session. As you’ll see here, Eli Olson doesn’t need to be known by association.
