With a tight focus and high frame rate, JJF and crew cruise into the first swell of the winter on the North Shore.

Even when it's sped up - click 'settings', then 'playback speed' - to twice the speed it's still slower than a Tim Bonython edit, so let's see how the comments stack up.

The only good thing about the slow mo is we an see how on edge JJF gets his board. I m a huge fan of his but its just too slow unless you use it for training purposes ?

Here's a pretty old clip of JJF, slow-mo, tightly cropped and paired to a cool Black Sabbath stoner track. I think it works well. It showcases his style and technique, quiet hands and superb rail work, not to mention his preternatural tube sense.

These guys made some 1 minute slow motion videos. It's perfect.

Unusually uninspiring from jjf - maybe i’m just content saturated coz there was another jjf slomo about a year ago I liked... time for a break

any idea what it is JJF is 'waxing' his board with - comes about 1/2 way through; doesnt sound like wax, some other more permanent substance

I sounds like they got creative with a peel ply to make the bumps
