"A creative, brain-storming mastermind."
The Cebu-based Chief Operating Officer with recruitment software biz Hire With Leo has accidentally revealed the career pivot of two-time world champ John John Florence in a recent post on LinkedIn.
K Childs, a certified hypnotherapy practitioner and co-founder of various start-ups, made the post five days ago.
It features John Florence (not John John, tellingly) searching for work as a software designer. His salary expectations are modest, $39,000, considerably less than the thirty-mill deal he commanded with skincare and inflatables brand Hurley, an indication perhaps of tough times in the Florence camp.
An examination of the post also reveals Stephanie Gilmore, a seven-time world champion and Gabriel Medina, world champ twice, also vying for work on the platform, although both appear under pseudonyms, Anastasia Demetriou and Lucas Grey respectively.
Medina also reveals he won’t work for anything under forty-five k.
No work yet on whether Florence, Medina and Gilmore will appear on the remainder of this year’s truncated world tour if applications are accepted.

The real confounding part of this story is-who the hell is Maria Lima? And why do Anastasia Demetriou’s (Steph’s) pictures not match?
Steph is Greek?
She just became that much more attractive…
Is this as low as “ surf journalism “ goes or does chas and dick still got plenty more to come?
I have no interest in pro surfing but will even welcome the return of that and a blog about it than read this continued shit.
Reminds me of when nick carroll edited tracks and ran seven pages of a obviously raving mad sarges contest reports in every issue cause he had “ nothin” else
Savage!!
Are you still allowed to say that?!
Fuck I think I just self-cancelled. Was going to say Brave, but I know that’s out.
The attention span/other obligations of your average BG commenter is non-existent.
They’re not even trying. Hang around and see how low the bar is.
It was inevitable that he’d rapidly go broke with good old ‘Patchy’ running his marine business…
When did JJJJJJJJF have time to learn software engineering on top of CT surfing and sailing?
Now you understand why his salary is ONLY $39K/USD.
I got a nice lil apartment in Cebu.
Taught English there for a while
To Koreans,

Locals hate em but love their Won
Why were selling your pussy to Koreans? Did the teaching not pay enough?
Why does anyone sell anything?
A gals gotta eat
I could see the three of them opening up a boutique digital marketing agency in Surry Hills.
Gabby, the headstrong creative director / account manager that shovels coke like a snow plow; Steph, the whimsical PR and marketing lead who handled multiple blue chip clients in the UK before making the move down under; and ‘Jon’ the Mother-guzzling, Dorito-shilling IT guy. Puppy-friendly work place with drinks every second Thursday.
Everybody’s position title is ‘Account Executive.’ Mostly design brochure and internal newsletters for industry super funds. Agency would be called Plush Creative.
So excited to see Gmed in the flesh!!!
Goosebumps!!!
Going up to Newy or waiting for Narra ?
Narra.
Im think if I ask politely in his native tongue I’ll get a selfie to treasure forevs.
