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

Great to see challenging conditions. Who can hang on.
No Chat? No fun!! 🤣
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.
JJF💪 da layback👑
JJF power unmatched. Crazy spray
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
I can officially confirm that jjf is going to become a champ on this tour.
John john gets a 7.6 but Kelly 360 didn’t??
Wow. We get to comment! Florence going all the way this week!
Absolutely, he is the best all-around surfer a lot of these guys fold in big waves with a lot of current.
Oh I forgot he is the only tow rider that surfs that Eddie!
Tour
Moves only JJ can make
Give this man the world title already.
Is it ever glassy at Sunset?
😂😂😂ridiculous ,,,,Great show 👏
Beautiful. SF/
Levels above everyone
Great to see Miguel still surfing at a high level at 67 years of age
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…!
SCORING KELLY SLATERS 360 vertical snap in the round of 32. vs ethan ewing…….

Does she laugh of Pupo's wipe out?
Sunset is the ultimate test of skill out of all the CT stops. Even in that, JJF surfs it like hes in a video game. Absurd
Aloha uhuhuhuh Sardinia
Crappy , sideshore , unruly waves that doesn't do justice to a world class surf break like Sunset Beach.
Typical WSL…
Awesome
Very good nice one 😮
WSL censoring the comment section/restricting free speech..Big Brother. So tired of their anti-American liberal poison policies
