John John and Ian Walsh distant dreaming - video
Ian Walsh gets full marks for bravery. Not because of his Jaws and Mavs carry on, but 'cause he invited John John to star in his signature film 'Distance Between Dreams'.
How so? Well, it's not a good look when the lead actor is overshadowed by the cameo. When the support act blows the headliner off the stage.
Yet Walsh takes the risk...and, well, he gets a barrel or two. But John John...fwoar...how many seconds is that first pit? 14, 15 seconds..?
Say no more...

Is this the footage that finally opens the floodgates ?
Beautiful viewing.
It's like when the American punters learned 'la Jolla' could be insanely fun at 3 foot. The cat is already out of the bag.
I could almost hear the drone operators internal dialogue on that last exchange:
"Must keep camera on Walshy.... being paid to keep camera on Walshy..."
*sees JJ paddling into bomb behind him*
"Faaaaaaaaaaaark. Must keep camera on Walshy.... being paid to keep camera on Walshy..."
Those couple of turns around 1.05 - absolutely searing.
You can almost hear the hiss.
Holy shit. I know better than to ask, but I REALLY want to know where that is.
Its no secret, P-Pass
It's not P-Pass mate
You know the place, Blowin?
Looks amazing.
Its the next P Pass.
Been subtly revealed for a few years now.
Rip curl, slater etc
Pretty sure it was the Quik crossing that first drew it to the eye of the "Love for sale " brigade....always despised the whole idea behind that modern age of high seas plundering.
Go there now !
Yep, there is a surf camp there! It is no secret. Slater has clips. Rip Curl have clips. Getting to P-Pass is a dream compared to getting here. Mr 'Quik Crossing' plundered a lot, didn't he.
yeah took 30 seconds to find it,been done over years ago by the looks .....
Pretty much my dream wave. How long is that first barrel? And that searing carve!
I can pretty much guess the archipelago, but not pinpoint the spot. Guessing it would cost a pretty penny to get there and stay there, but in my dreams.
I did a turn like that yesterday .
But nobody saw it.
Not even the crew on the shoulder staring right at me.
Sick surfing and sick wave kinda like Rifles.
Wow,some beautiful surfing going on there,love that first lonnnng barrel of JJs but wont remain a secret for long now.Awesome set up.....sort of wish this wasn't shown in a way.
For most of us, it would be a dream to get there. Any chance where this dream is ?
Can I tell him?
How's the difference between the two. Walsh rips and knows how to get tubed but Jjf just looks so smooth and controlled in everything he does. Fuck I could watch him surf all day.
Amazing
There had to be to someone doing the "i know this where is' muscle flex.
Well, when we have so little to flex we have to take it where we can get it.
I just saw an older video of this wave some obvious clues if you know the areas characteristics.
And it's not in Indo.
This is an epic movie and def worth watching. I agree JJF (world no.1) surfing is fkn ridiculous in this clip. But after watching the whole movie... its def not the JJF cameo that i remember as being the best part. Ian Walsh killed it.
