John John Florence v Kelly Slater in Copacabana freesurf…
All that swell y’saw on the WSL webcast in Rio? Somewhere had to be good before it disappeared, yeah?
This short, made by the Brazilian pay-TV channel Canal OFF, shows the loveliest object we have in the world, John John Florence, freesurfing with/against the most beautiful thing God has created, Kelly Slater. (Pre-last night’s Matt Banting catastrophe.)
While I usually have an aversion to anything that’s not Kai Neville (in the long-form) and Peter King (for tour documentary) this was worth my time, and therefore, most certainly yours.
Uncannily, PK makes a cameo in this short. “Kelly’s mean! John John’s nice!” he says with his usual air of overflowing gaiety.
Expect a version of this on his #TourNotes very soon, and therefore here.
