John John Florence Describes Consequences at Teahupo’o

John John Florence grew up surfing heavy water. Taking beatings and taming beasts was a childhood staple. To say he’s qualified to talk about surfing backside on one of the most perfect, dangerous, frightening and exhilarating waves in the world is an understatement. Despite all of this, he admits it’s a scary wave especially once it hits the eight foot mark. This year’s Billabong Pro Teahupo’o should be exciting.
