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.

A cuff tug. Like when someone wins an academy award.

Doesn’t deserve the name Triple Crown considering the history. Better off giving this a different name

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 ?
