Flips are not new. (See: Timmy Curran, Emma Wood, 2006 to Meola's Spindle Flip 540 a couple weeks ago.) But it's always been a little hard to figure out just how the hell he did that? The thing about seeing something at 1000 frames per second is that the physical nuances, the body torque, the grab, the landing, all become crystal clear and open for analysis and dissection. And who better to appreciate this seeming defiance of physics than John John Florence? Three times, no less.

Once a month, Surfline will present a hi-fi shredding shot in ultra-slow-mo from the archival library of Phantom Camera specialist and DP Chris Bryan.
