If there’s a single wave on tour that best suits John John Florence’s surfing, after Pipeline that is, it’s the Margaret River Pro’s backup venue: the Box. Named for its square barrels, the West Oz mutant slab is likely to host the world’s best on Saturday morning (WA time), and there may be no one more thrilled to thread what are forecast to be eight-to-ten-foot death pits than one John John Florence.

We implore you to check out more incredible images courtesy of Hunter Vercoe here. Give the man a follow.
