Don't call it a come back!

bad video- good song

from Shea Lopez's blog on Surfermag.com- "John John will change the way you surf"


"One surfer among all those prodigies stands out from the pack. He’s not the best competitor, definitely not the best small-wave surfer, and plenty of guys his age have more power. But, even with his Pipeline mastery an afterthought, John Florence is advancing the sport tenfold by bringing his surfing to a new level. He brings an ease and simplicity to the most difficult of transitions between the wave, his board, and his body, as he casually rides down the line, arms relaxed at his sides. Once in the air, John incorporates a snowboarding and skateboarding influence as he mimics their use of properly timed head, shoulder, and arm movements to maximize height, rotation, and recovery. Board sports that are already performing 900-plus-degree rotations are having a huge influence on surfing right now, and it seems the first 720 on a surfboard is not far off. John is pushing the limits of what is possible on a surfboard, and has pointed out the direction everyone else must head in order to follow in the footsteps of Dane Reynolds as the best surfer of the next generation"
