First wave ridden: age 3 First contest win: age 7 First wave at Pipe: age 8 First win at Pipe: age 18 First World Tour win: age 19 First Eddie Aikau win: age 23 First WSL World Title: age 24 Just the beginning for John John Florence.
there could not be a better champion-perfect mix of absolute love of surfing rather than doing it for ego, of cutting edge brilliance, and of the indescribable X factor that makes him the most fascinating of all to watch. he has a beautiful relationship with the ocean in way that makes it seem he is part of it. was so happy to see him win--at least sometimes things go right in the world.
John John Florence- The title was his dream :the place to win it at penuche ! So happy for him: so amazing surfer ,so amazing charismatic man ! Watched all the Rounds all the Heats ,don't missed a wave! Great trust in him ,no doubt ! Always positive John John !So happy and relaxed now with friends , then family , team Hurley , Hawaï ,so proud I hope ! Sure! I love so much A view from a blue moon and épisodes of number"TWELVE" now number "ONE".
I really like and admire the talented and sensational surfer who is JJFlorence always great tuber rider with great progressive maneuvers of a very beautiful style of surf in any wave condition in the world ... but we know that the champion he won is not fair ... for the injustices done to the opponents in the heats that helped him in this, all the other athletes who were harmed so that he could benefit from the sum of the results at the end in several stages during the year ... we value victories on their own merits , not favoring judges sponsored in VARIOUS stages and decisive disputes, it was clear the help of the results for him. to be benefited unfortunately ... we just want no athlete to benefit from disputes either from BRAZIL or from any country in the world in the race for the title throughout the year ... aloha to everyone !!!!
