What can you say about John John Florence? For a few years now, the world has been watching his meteoric rise on the pro surfing circuit. And now, teaming up with director Blake Vincent Kueny, we catch another story, in a different light.

 

Filmed on location in Fiji and Bali, there's a statement here, perched somewhere between the poetic and the utterly non-verbal. Elusive as it may seem, it is bound by music, from the soulful gospel to the dark, driving beats peppered throughout some of the film's hairiest moments.

 

We salute the creators for the intrigue this film stirs up. And let's not forget the showcase of effortless-looking cutbacks and high-flying aerials on the surf front, thanks to the Hawaiian kid. Rock on, John John!
