Making Statements - John John Florence

 
While there's no doubt that the majority of the surf world will have their eyes focused on Mick Fanning and Kelly Slater as they enter the last event of the year in a battle for the 2013 ASP Championship, you can't help but also glance sideways to see what one of the world's most dynamic surfers will do in his backyard of Hawaii this winter. ESPN.com gives a sneak peek of what John John Florence is capable of in head high to mountain high surf. Needless to say, it's pretty awe inspiring.

Flynn is Swell

Flynn Novak has been a fixture on the North Shore for years now. You usually see him parked in a massive Pipe pit or perfecting his Flynnstone Flip at Rocky Point. Recently, A-Frame photographer, Brent Bielmann scored the cover of the Swell catalog with Flynn putting it on rail. By shooting from a unique perspective, Brent managed to differentiate his photos from the rest of the pack shooting on the beach. Well done Brent!
