Since it hosted the first Championship Tour event ever in 1976, Sunset Beach has long stood as an old-school test of power surfing. And while timeless rail-to-rail surfing still dominates, a new school of surfers is beginning to redefine the wave with a more modern approach. Who will win out, and who heads to colder waters on a hot streak?

Check this out John John Florence coming up against Miguel Hoop round the 16 the winner going on to the quarterfinals this is it here we go takes off here and one big hack in the lid there massive layback straight into another swooping carving maneuver there so 783 just for those two turns and here comes John John non priority heat let’s

See what he has here casual really casual so John John he’s out there uh saw his shaper John pisel on the bike path will Cox still waiting for that that last exchange and the number to come through Miguel kopo in his challenge against John John Florence get a nice backhand

Turn and migy will get a number up on the board congratulations Koo gashi uh he’ll be matched up against Seth in that quarterfinal number one John John Florence up and out he’s leading his challenge against Miguel poo yeah this what it’s like there you go I like it here we go Miguel

Poo needs a big number to take the lead a 7.68 and he was on his way there that was a committed backhand re-entry here we go live action John John skittering off the bottom and a little bit of a rail catch off the top so that was unusual it just shows you

The challenge out there this is what happened yeah this was one turn Wonder just absolutely throwing everything at that maneuver through the kitchen sink everything just wasn’t leaving anything to chance that was so radical it was so late it was a layback underneath the lip it was just everything that I like to

See in surfing just total commitment to the cause one turn huge just that’s what we wanted to see that’s what we wanted to see from John John Florence a 7.6 for that dropped the highest and lowest average out he got a 7.6 for one maneuver best maneuver of

Today Miguel poopo solid on his feet there trying to mount a comeback and surf his way here comes John John what a turn again and a Cascade of water and John John just solid on the ghost okay difference is sunny was doing on a 74 this is a 64 under the feet of

John John Florence yeah I mean this this was that last wave that he just did I mean wow just to have that ability to just absolutely stomp it so hard lay back as well come down with the lip this is the angle I really wanted to see just

How radical this was this is even just a different variation of that 76 that we saw just before to have the ability and the strength to hold on here you can see he came down with that explosion gets completely engulfed to have the strength to do that

Is a really really hard thing it’s just hard yeah so here we go the comeback uh this is going to be for a feel-good moment migy poopo nice car off the top there great backand style up in the lip oh no again bottom drops out trapo in

The haunted house opens up and swallows up Miguel poopo there’s the numbers for John John 8.23 7.83 16.06 heat total that’s an excellent heat for John John

  1. No chat? tell Joe Trupel it’s way past his retirement time. the rest are bad enough but his voice and words are truly uninspiring and downright detrimental to surfing and the world as a whole.

  2. JJF really surfs a lot. Now carrying out a more honest analysis, John's notes are so overvalued. Compare Jack Robinson's drumming, he does a single maneuver, in a bigger wave and more critical session, and receives a score of 6.83. John receives 1 more point. I thought his grades increased a lot in this heat

  3. great surfing from john john, very rad. john gets 7 point rides for one very powerful, standard manouvre on the critical part of the wave……..

    kelly got a 4 .5 for his vertical snap 360 against ethan ewing (round of 32) in the critical part of the wave.
    who else can pull of this manouvre…?
    so tecnical…!
    so UNDERSCORED…!

    for many years the wsl judges were dishing out 8-10s for a 1 manouvre 360 air from medina, toledo, italo, julian wilson, etc.

    UNDERSCORING kelly seems to be the normal these days.
    i think he knows it…..

    what a shame…!

  4. SCORING KELLY SLATERS 360 vertical snap in the round of 32. vs ethan ewing…….

  5. Crappy , sideshore , unruly waves that doesn't do justice to a world class surf break like Sunset Beach.
    Typical WSL…

  6. WSL censoring the comment section/restricting free speech..Big Brother. So tired of their anti-American liberal poison policies
