John John Florence’s relationship with Margaret River is a special one. When he’s on there, he’s basically unbeatable. When Main Break is working, it’s a powerful wave that requires powerful surfing. John has that in spades. His boards, which he works so hard on with Pyzel, look like they’re an extension of his body. Everything looks effortless, no matter how much effort those things take.
Equipment is very important to all surfers, but for someone as good as John John, that equipment has to be finely tweaked. In the video above, the board he’s riding at the Margaret River Pro is broken down and all those little tweaks are explained. Those tweaks won’t make you surf like John John, but the break down might give you a little bit of insight into what it takes to surf like him.
