Watch: What John John learned in 2017
Don't expect any expansive answers as you would from Kelly or soul-searching honesty a la Mick, but John admits he learned a few things in 2017 - a bit about his boards, a bit about himself, and a bit about his competititors - without actually telling us what he learned.
Like the old MP quote, he could say what makes him great, but he won't.
Anyway, the surfing speaks for itself.

Love those carves and his tube ridding and obviously airs, kid is the real deal the new Kelly.
Better than Kelly in his prime
Nup.
Those double hand behind him lay back carves at margs were insane. Good to see he’s caught up to tyler Wright.
Kelly was the man or the boy .......in black and white .....no one could touch him then.
mmmm, maybe or maybe those following have stepped these days to make the surfing closer, more equal than yesteryear, who to thank for that? i'm guessing Kelly? A fav moment for me in that vid was at 2:51. JJ holding the cup, not with smug, i"m the best look on his face, but the satisfied, i"m happy look. Seems a down to earth guy.
Did anyone see that vid of John John the grommit? The one where he is in the Ments as an 8-10 y.o and competing in the Pipe masters??. Leroy reckons he comes across like a typical little grom pain in ass c@nt. I hate the modern grommit, lacking all self doubt, no fear of retribution. 6-8 waves per hour is what you little farkers get. And dont complain, thats not what Leroy got. Leroy got a beating and was happy just for the skerrick of sage wisdom thrown out during post punishment remorse.
But then JJ the young man seems genuinely alright..
So the question is what maketh the man child??
Bring back mild forms of grom abuse and maybe random food fights.
Thank you.
people's champ for sure, so likeable
