Watch: John John and Carissa Win Triple Crown - Again
For the second year running Hawaiians John John Florence and Carissa Moore have won the Triple Crown of Surfing.
This was the second year that the Triple Crown was based on video content, rather than a points total from the three Hawaiian events.
See videos above for the winning edits. Note that JJF is riding a single fin channel bottom on the wave that begins at 1:19.

JJ's sleeve pull-down claims are the best
100% spot on Gaz - eveyones doin' em - was looking at the recent cyclone seth footage and even people with no rashies were coming out of barrels tuggin at sleeves that were'nt there!
No claim bonus
Oh man - I never noticed and the first video I watch, don’t even need to get barreled to do it

A cuff tug. Like when someone wins an academy award.
I'm gonna start wearing my 11 year old sons rashie from now on... least I'll have a decent excuse to be tuggin on em when I finish a ride and get a little shoofty claim in the process...
Fuck Me what a Man Hack !
Origin of the sleeve pull claim.
Brilliant! A class act to follow.
Haha.
Doesn’t deserve the name Triple Crown considering the history. Better off giving this a different name
Agreed Rubble
Totally agree. A video clip context is not the triple crown.

The format is BS, but the at least the winners are undeniable (if predictable)
Was kind of weird, I kept waiting for something to happen: something to tune into.
All of a sudden we get a couple of short clips and a winner.
seems very underwhelming as a concept.
Maybe I missed something?
Carissa's Backdoor waves were ridden exceptionally. JJF continues to be a beast.
They had Halewia and a Pipe Comp, all they needed was sunset and job done?
Pretty insulting to call this the Triple Crown.
A video contest. yuck
JJF's music was like the guitar solo from Business Time. 'That's right baby... That's it'
Is that Business Time from Flight of the Conchords? Ha, brought a smile to my face. Love those guys, classic NZ humour.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a progress craft in there somewhere or did I miss it ?
