Hawaiian two-time world surfing champion John John Florence has once again demonstrated his big wave prowess in the opening round of the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia.

The 29-year-old dominated in the 10‘ to 14’ foot conditions on Friday, making critical turns under the lip and timing his finishes to perfection to score 15.60 for his two best waves, almost seven points ahead of Peruvian Lucca Mesinas in second place.
