Child prodigies come and go in all sports – surfing especially – and few live up to the hype. John John Florence, so good they named him twice, is the exception. From the age of five he was in the spotlight, living on the beach at Pipeline and getting pushed into waves by the likes of Kelly Slater it’s not surprising.

As he got older he got more radical, charging Pipeline and consistently pushing aerial surfing. Now at 21 he is a force on the world tour, and surely a world champ in the next few years. He drops regular video sections that take most other pros years to assemble, he has a combination of power and aerial ability which is unrivalled except perhaps by Slater.
