Ever wonder how the pro’s manage to pop up meters ahead of you on the paddle out? A surfers duckdiving technique is the stuff legends are made of, but did you hear about the guy that can duckdive the entire length of a swimming pool?

We did, his name is John John Florence, and in this video from Hurley you too can sample the freak of nature that is the Hollywood Shuffle.

“Time for some duckdive laps” Says the blonde haired super grom. “Your legs, your arms, your bodyweight. The Hollywood Shuffle! It’s all in your core.”

By using his surfboard as a kind of paddle, he manages to duckdive to the bottom of the pool, and then swim along the bottom before popping up at the end. Cynics are calling it a bunch of ducking lies, citing crazy excuses like his lack of fins, fresh water VS salt water and the fact that his board is thinner than most, but what we see is a guy doing something amazing on a surfboard, underwater, which is far from the norm.

Real or Unachievable for the average grom? You decide!
