Sorgente’s comparison, though, reminded me of an old video of John John Florence skating the Cholo’s bowl (see below). In it, John John explains he doesn’t skate to improve his surfing, he just does it because it’s fun. Even Curren Caples has said the two are so different these days, one doesn’t really inform the other.

So, which is it? Does skating transition help you read wave sections better? Or, are surfing and skating two totally different worlds?

Start young, keep skating, keep your edge…

John John grom days…
