Florence skewers Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Blue Crush, Point Break, Orange County, Chasing Mavericks, Lilo and Stitch and Surf's Up.
The two-time world surfing champion, John John Florence, has appeared on an episode of GQ’s Breakdown where, with impressive earnestness, he examines the surfing in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Blue Crush, Point Break, Orange County, Chasing Mavericks, Lilo and Stitch and Surf’s Up.
Dressed in a fuchsia Florence Marine X crew neck that matches the radiances of his sun-beaten skin, the twenty-eight-year-old Hawaiian, whose net worth is twelve million dollars, delivers an eloquent potpourri of the petals fallen from the flowers of Hollywood.
Although released yesterday, the episode was clearly filmed over one year ago, Florence referring to the great Derek Ho, who died in July, 2020, in the present tense, although I too like to think Uncle Dez will live forever.
A little long at sixteen minutes, but Florence has a warm sincere smile and speaks without restraint.

“the twenty-eight-year-old Hawaiian … delivers an eloquent potpourri of the petals fallen from the flowers of Hollywood.”
Fuck DR, that gave me a horn you could crack fleas on.
I had no problem with this with this.
I only lasted to the 11 minute mark.
His monotone voice was making even Luke Egan seem like Jim Carey!
Has anyone ever seen Hetfield and Ellen De Generes/Strider together?
Snooki wants smush smush!
Notice he did not critique North Shore, because it is 100% realistic.
Does anybody really wear fuchsia colored clothes?
Geeez… Even when Kolohe is first (in this case, the first surfer to do this for GQ), he’s second…

actually Japans own Kanoa of Huntington did one of these also so John John Marine X takes the Bronze
Kolohe seems like a good man. Zero snideness.
Listen to a pro surfer talk for 16 minutes?no thanks I’ll just read the comments
Yes, but tell us about his real estate portfolio Drek…
*3 time. Also surprised you haven’t hit us with Dylan Graves’ new LGBQT Vans video offering. Dude is on fire.
So non binary
But so boring.
Surfs up is a masterpiece and I wish Nate had been the top Florence
Ivan is John in Russian
Work that out
So he should be Ivan Ivan to maintain continuity?
Ivan John, and John Ivan
Could not find one photo of JJF next to van. Disappointed to not continue this groundbreaking thread.
Yeah JJ is good but can he Hydroflyer?? Me thinks not! https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Is John John the secret child of James Hetfield?

James James Hetfield
Hahahahaha!!
Nobody likes John John. Even NonJohn doesn’t like John John. To be such an athlete athlete, he must certainly eat a lot of fish fish and whole grains grains with lots of fruit fruit and veggie veggies before he stretches stretches and surf surfs. John John is very white white. How does that qualify him as Hawaiian Hawaiian?
So many questions questions. NonJohn will have another drink drink after he presses post post.
HaHa
I’ll give that a Two Johns Up!
Next up dissects unrealistic pornography. Can’t wait.
Next up – bexy bores us stupid with another of his imaginary conquests from yesteryear.
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
Know what I mean?
I fuked a few bushys.
Usually kiwis.
You could have just stopped after “Bexy bores us.”
