John John Florence is the best surfer in the world.
Yes he is.
He might not be the actual reigning World Champion, but he is the best surfer.
You know it, I know it, little Lew Samuels knew it too when he wrote the year end Power Rankings. Yeah! What Lewis said! That.
And we should all be gladdened because having the best surfer in the world actually competing on the Tour, while not unicorn rare, is hardly a given, either.
In the recent past, at various times, the Tour has endured without the likes of Curren, Slater and Dane counted among its ranks, at times when they were each undoubtedly the finest surf rider of them all.
A distraction to varying degrees, but still an unwanted asterisk.
John John, it seems, has to the time to do the mind-blowing clips thing, as well as somehow squeeze in 11 events in 12 months into his schedule.
Multi-tasker!
