Florence breaks record at Hurley Pro
Hawaii’s John John Florence made history at the Hurley Pro, posting a record-setting five 9-point-plus rides on Wednesday at San Clemente’s Lower Trestles.
Florence, 21, scored 19.73 out of a possible 20 points in the Round 4 heat over Brazil’s Adriano De Souza and 11-time world champion Kelly Slater. With the win, Florence advances to the quarterfinals and won’t have to compete in the elimination round.
