Where John Florence came from

Hey, you know that fabulous John kid? John Florence, uh-huh. The kid who stitched up the Billabong Pro, Rio final with a full-roter in the opening minute, one of only two-ish people to paddle out at Cloudbreak on the big day with no vest, winner of the $50k Kustom Airstrike, and currently the subject of surfing’s biggest bidding war to date. Yes, you know him. This Vans clip tells us a little more about where he comes from, with some words from men like Joel Tudor and Nathan Fletcher. The best clip you will see today.
