« Look mom. I did it! »
These are the words said by John John Florence when he became world champion in 2016.
From where you’re mom… Look. I did it! I’m doing the cover of
@surfsessionmag ! I’m stunned! Like Matahi Drollet who had to wait for this wave for 8 hours in the water, it took me 6 years to make the cover of a specialized magazine of the sport that I love the most in the world. Making his first cover of a surf magazine is maybe like taking the wave of his life in Tow-in. It’s not about talent, it’s about the chance of self-denial and resilience. Work. Wait. See others pass by and enjoy a moment as intense as it is ephemeral until one day… your turn arrives.
Congratulations
@matahidrollet for showing a mental steel and perfectly surfed one of the most incredible waves I have ever seen and photographed.
