Today’s the first day of March, which means another winter season is in the books on the North Shore. All the pros sucked the marrow out of the conditions and were gunning for that wave of the winter. It was the Florence family though that everyone had their eye on at Pipeline. The three amigos have different approaches and little nuances to their barrel riding game. But the trio are all elite when it comes to surfing their home break.
We assume this footage was taken before Nathan’s fractured back at Jaws. That Gerry Lopez board was looking magical under your feet Nath. Ivan’s got the slickest style but John John is neck and neck with Kelly for the closest we have seen to Pipe mastery.
Check out their barrel-riding expertise in the clip above, which is also a look into their personalities as well. The thickness of John’s backdoor tube at 54 seconds, is nothing short of outrageous.
Enjoy!
