Jeremy Flores, two-time Pipe Master, at left, Dez, laughing a little too loud, right.

Listen: Jeremy Flores on how he partied for two years after winning the Pipe Masters; the ruination of Reunion Island via drugs and sharks and smearing his brains on a reef in Sumbawa!

All guns and all fun.

Early last year, and in response to a post somewhere by Conner Coffin where he said surf media should write more long-form interviews, I figured, yeah, good idea.

I thought about it.

Who would I really want to spend a few days following and writing about?

I narrowed my list down to two surfers: Italo Ferreira and Jeremy Flores.

If we could get their sponsor to cover the airfare, I’d fly anywhere in the world to interview ‘em.

I got Italo and he went on to win the title.

Today, I get Jeremy, a man who is barely thirty-two but has been on the tour since 2005.

In interviews Jeremy gives out more heat that a goat’s butt in a pepper patch and, given his fearsome reputation, if he were to lift his own kimono you’d imagine it to reveal a pair of black silk panties exquisitely embroidered with fire-shooting dragons.

He is all guns and all fun.

If you do listen, you might pick up two mistakes in the intro. The first two readers to pick ’em and leave a note in the comments get one of each of our three new tees, arriving soonish.

Well spoken, passionate, always love to hear what he has to say. I hope he remains relevant for years to come. I’m digging the tour guys you guys are getting on the podcast – Kolohe and Jeremy. Who’s next?

Mads Naeraa

Totally enjoyed that.

Billy Hunt

Hang on … there’s an actual story here … particularly the idea of a reserve that doesn’t protect the species that make it unique and valued.

BG can do some actual good here … Chas, FFS get on it!!!

ricmatic

Huge Jeremy fan. Always have been. specially in hard waves.
PS bull sharks can fuck off

Chief Hot stuff

He’s got an aussie accent from le nrthn beaches

Chazz Michael Michaels

I love Jeremy and I loved this.

NEGATRON

Hell yeah, seeing the little Pitball sitting in the top ten makes me happy.

ricmatic

I’m a big fan.

Hippy

cool history lesson

Yesterday's hero

Other than Durbridge and Joan Duru I wonder who he means when he says “boring as fuck”? Julian for sure… perhaps 30 others.

Waterproof Polo

2005 –> 2020 = 15 years – the rona 20′ season = 14 as opposed to 13 seasons? Is that one of the little oopsie’s?

The Bitchy Crab

Yes!

Waterproof Polo

booyah!

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Wait, so you’re saying you’ve never truly impressed a woman? This explains some things.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Derek, these screen shots with you in your V-cut tee shirts make it hard to concentrate on work. Keep them coming.

Hippy

Ruh Roh, another conversion possible?

Reilly turns another one.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

It was seeing his off the lip black and white photo. Been smitten since.

Hippy

With Dezzy or Jerrz?

See, I’m typing in Reilly.

One sentence at a time.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

DR. My wife would lose it over Jeremy’s French accent.

Hippy

Heard about DR’s surfing, but he’s quite shy and never seen the photo (s).

Yeah man, Jeremy prolly slays the groupies…. fucking fringe bene.

Billy Hunt

One day, I’m going to listen to one of these

Geoffrey John Knapp

Thanks, that was really interesting
Especially the situation in Reunion
I spotted two mistakes, he had two videos actually, Black and White and Searching for Tom Curren
What an amazing place to grow up
And just surfing with visiting yachties
Thanks Derek, good interview
Good on you Jez, living the Dream now buddy, got the last laugh on all the Haters

The Bitchy Crab

Yes you win! DM, via IG, address etc.

Chief Hot stuff

Can you interview Ron Jeremy next week?
He can toot his own horn.

The Bitchy Crab

Half his luck. I fall well short.

Chief Hot stuff

Looks like hell be doing time for groping porn stars.
Only in America!!!

SectionSB

the Hedgehog facing some charges..

Chief Hot stuff

Prudish porn stars not happy with RJ.
WHAT A WORLD!!

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

Unfortunately, he’s been cancelled.

Jazzy P

What’s with the kink for Gerry Manyon?

Chief Hot stuff

Woah!!
Le Jeremy exposes worldwide corruption of scientists and full of shit greenies!
toutes nos félicitations
Vive le jeremy!!

Owen Wright's Brains

surfer who never went to school > PHD

Chief Hot stuff

Here we go

Owen Wright's Brains

i’m agreeing with you. such a delicate soul.

Chief Hot stuff

It’s weird how he considers himself French.

Chief Hot stuff

Like the skin on a rice pudding!!

Owen Wright's Brains

*white rice pudding

Yesterday's hero

Hats off to the guy. He’s always been shy and people took it the wrong way so he’s worked hard on his English over the years to please the fans, media and the people that pay his salary. One of the few guys on the tour that would give the people and a pint of Eki the time of the day. Legend.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Rumor is when he lands in Honolulu there’s a tremor as his balls settle on land. Same in Tahiti.

Yesterday's hero

The dude is on another level out at Hossegor when it’s maxing and middle of winter 10 degrees in the water.

Joe Deal

Dora used to brag to me about Hossegor but I can’t imagine him anywhere close to the barrel fest Jeremy, Italo and Gabriel, and the SA/OZ/CA/HI homies too put on the last time I saw it … when you surf ten foot beach break like it is Sebastian Inlet and literally take off in the precise and pretty much only place you can make it and consistently get rides unimaginable on old equipment and somehow come out … EVERY DAMN TIME it seems … and occasionally still throw in airs — WOW … really awesome display of pure athleticism and the Froggies LOVE IT.

Chief Hot stuff

Chas looks cancelled

Jazzy P

Victim of cancel culture

Chief Hot stuff

Cancel couture!!
Tres inspirant!!
Oui jeremy!!

Billy Hunt

Defunded?

The Bitchy Crab

What if Cyrano had his own Cyrano?

astro

Well, I listened right the way thru til Germy started to praise Kelly.
That’s it, no more.
Was good up until then.
Fire shooting dragons became lifeless silicone implants flopped out on the floor … stupid looking bags of wobble.

Low wide stinkbug stance

When my wife got her old implants swapped out for the new ones I kept the oldies as paper weights
Hours of fun.

Antipodes

I’ve always liked j-flo. Passionate, charges and has a point of view. Also, he’s from Reunion – not Madagascar.

The Bitchy Crab

Born in Reunion, grew up in Madagascar and hanging out at the hotel Le Lakana Vezo. While his parents managed the joint he roamed the fishing village, surfing when he could, without the interruption of school.

Antipodes

Got it – I thought that was one of the mistakes in the intro.

Eddie Haiku

Not gonna listen
But you swapped that for a than
In para eight, man!

The Bitchy Crab

Company rules Ed
No second chance grammar
Life ain’t always nice

Eddie Haiku

Thanks for your response
However I have no clue
What you’re on about 😉

Billy Hunt

Haiku wars
