Peer Beneath Ehukai’s Abundant Folds With Florence & Company

“I just don’t wanna go by myself, it’s kinda scary.”

Sandbars are a wildly mystifying natural phenomenon that offer surfers as much frustration as they do spurts of joy.

The sandbars produced in front of John Florence’s North Shore abode are fit for a 2x World Champ. The wave can be playful, sure, but give it some swell and what was in essence a dreamy beach break turns into a gurgling monstrosity with more lips than Angelina Jolie. I mean look at this…

I’m assuming that when you’re this good, having a wave as challenging as big, nasty Ehukai to play with is the spice one needs to keep things exciting. People talk about how lucky John was to grow up surfing Pipe, but Ehukai—in all its imperfections—undoubtedly contributed to John’s innate wave knowledge and feline-esque tube abilities.

Seeing as this is a John Florence production, we’d expect nothing less than an all-star supporting cast. With cameos from Jack Robinson, GOAT, and brother Nathan, you’re gonna want to sit down for this one.
