There’s a certain formula to Jamie O’Brien’s vlogs. Get a few friends, look for waves. If there are no waves, do something ridiculous, like sliding down a giant drain on an inflatable pool toy, or head somewhere like Mexico. The old standby, of course, is couch surfing — like, literally surfing on a couch. By now, you’ve likely seen that a few times. But what we don’t often see is John John Florence, whose aversion to the camera is fairly obvious.
When John is injured, radio silence prevails — except for the few rare glimpses we get through the lens of those who know him well. Jamie O’Brien is one of those people, so after a few minutes of the same ol’ stuff, we get a look at what John John is doing to fix that knee. Turns out, it’s paddling, and even after a few weeks of sitting, he’s still in good enough shape to beat Jamie — not surprising, considering the fact that Jamie appears to live off of Red Bull and 7-Eleven food.
