It’s the same ol’ soup, just reheated. Monster Energy’s John John Florence claimed his third consecutive Volcom Pipe Pro title on Saturday, much to nobody’s surprise. From the moment the horn sounded in nearly all of JJ’s heats, it was a race for second place for his competitors. Like a hand grenade in a rock fight, it was over before it started.
