It's Groundhog Day.....and John John Florence Takes Out The Pipe Pro.

Feb 2nd.....Groundhog day in the USA (in more ways than one)

John John Florence wins the Volcom Pipe Pro in very nice condititons and I thought I'd seen pretty well everything.....but obviously, I hadn't.

 Explanations coming later.

Above....Alaskan's Samantha and Malachi on the deck of the beach pad at Log Cabins, about 5 minutes walk from Pipe.

                                                       Above. Finals day....two for one.

Winner.....John John Florence (red) with Aussie Josh Kerr (blue) Chris Ward (White) and Olamana  Eleogram (black)

                             Above...Max, the "yard guard" at the house....don't screw with Max.

                               Please don't ask, as I don't have a clue, but it is tape of some sort.

Seriously.....I can't even begin to explain this.  I walked out to cross the Kam Highway and looked up for cars coming and saw this heading towards me. The camera was still in my hand so I just pulled it up and started firing, the boys in the truck saw me shooting, slowed down and up came the "shakas"

 I'm still not the same after seeing this going down a major highway, but it is one of those right time right place with the right equipment type pics.

About a half horsepower sand rodent !
