The Pipeline Kid - John John Florence // BEST OF JOHN JOHN FLORENCE AT TEAHUPO'O

Raised on the sand at Pipeline and striking swells to Tahiti since he was a teenager, at 31, Hawaiian-born 2x World Champion John John Florence is inarguably one of the best surfers ever at Teahupo'o.
Besides his deep relationship with the community and experience at the wave, John is one of the most naturally gifted, technical backside tuberiders on the planet.
Catching his first wave at six months old, John John was touted as a prodigy and appeared as a youth phenom in international surf magazines and surf films before he was even in high school.
However, surfers like John don't emerge from a vacuum. The oldest of three brothers, John, Ivan and Nathan's mother Alexandra didn't have your standard single mother lifestyle, with John and the boys being taken under wing by the world's best surfer and looked out for by the entire North Shore community.
Despite a handful of frustrating injuries (broken back, wrist, arm, leg, and more) since qualifying for the World Championship Tour, John John won the Pipe Masters, the Triple Crown, and two back to back World Title's in 2016 and 2017, all while consistently producing and starring in fan-favorite surf films that are as high art as they are performance, and earning John multiple Surfer Poll Awards throughout his career.
With the Gold Medal on the line at one of his favorite waves in the world, John John Florence is not to be missed at Teahupo'o this month.

Nobody surfs better than this guy. Style he has abundant.

@@elikemp2194 medina is miles ahead of John. But yeah i give you that John is second to Gabriel Medina hah.

[@elikemp2194]

@@EduardoAlexandreAlhinho Medina is a good competition surfer, terrible style, claims every wave. I'd rather watch Yago, Griff, JJF, Ethan and Matheus any day. Style over claims.

[@Robert-xn3dc]

Clay marzo and JJF are the best surfers to watch.

There are surfers and there are watermen. And there are surfers who are watermen. JJF is one of those and it shows when he is in the water!

[@user-pb8vj8ml9l]

The perfect combination of style and technique, especially in the barrel. Few surfers in the world can look more comfortable than JJF in a heaving slab.

[@raffaelpeaceandlove]

It's always a pleasure to watch John surfs. Guy is an artist. Him and simmers are talents that we will see for many years getting the best barrels and waves out there.

2014 semi was the greatest heat ever.

John john has great tube style

[@JonahAlexanderMCDougallGardner]

He sat his butt down into the water at a wave that basically could pull him back and over so fast so hard!!! Now that’s comfort in the eye of the storm 😮😎😎😎😎

John john parabéns nada nessa vida é facil eu sou surfista amador e trabalho as vezes de noite vou no mar pegar ondas Aloha🇧🇷🏄

The way Chris Cote says "Cho-Poo" as "Tea-Hea-Pea-Pa-Poo" just bothers me.

Is there a barrel rider in the world than John John? The answer is NO.

Sou surfista do Havaí e os coloco em um nível separado, mas semelhante. Aqueles dois caras viajando pelo mundo juntos e surpreendendo seria épico
