sourcesourcehe's been spotted towing into 25' wavesThirteen-year-old John John Florence, an eighth grader here on the North Shore, made his debut in some of the most challenging conditions ever contested at Haleiwa: 10- to 15-foot waves with a freight-train current and strong off-shore winds.

Re: John John Florence

JJF has a long and brilliant career ahead of him, he is just one of several kids who are outsurfing KS now, it's just a matter of time before the rest of the world realises this.
