Florence brothers' jaw-dropping Pipe performance can’t be overpraised.
The reclusive North Shore world champion John John Florence has given surf fans a glimpse into the rarefied ambience of his wealth and privilege with a seven-minute clip of he and his brothers inhabiting the Pipe cupola on a day he calls “best of the winter.”
“This was easily one of the most fun surf days we’ve had so far this winter. The whole day was just non-stop barrels,” writes John John. “I surfed pretty much as long as I could, with a break to eat lunch. It was just my brothers, Eli in the water along with a few others.”
Midway through the edit, John John explains: “We thought the winds would change or it would end at some point, but the waves just wouldn’t stop. Good waves with friends, fin design theory, testing new boards…all pieces of why we love surfing.”
Gorgeously photographed, it is Nathan Florence, overwhelmingly regarded as the best surfer in the world, and not John John Florence, who dominates every scene until you anticipate his every return.
The depraved limits to which Nathan Florence will go to has no limitations.
Despite recent revelations Kainoa Igarashi has started to read, Nathan Florence, who is almost thirty and named after the son of the Hebrew King David, is also widely regarded as the “world’s smartest surfer”.
Nathan Florence likes to be out there at the edge of things. He approaches big waves with steady unfaltering movements for he knows fear releases power.
Of course, John John, thirty-one and who also has the same reddish brown eyes like dried blood as Nathan, ain’t no slouch when it comes to cupola hunting, although he applies a little more caution now that his first-born, a boy, is set to arrive in May.
A sumptuous and elegantly polished jewel that is not to be missed.
Definitely a downgrade from the slab tour
Lazy edit
Been a minute since I cracked the good book but I believe Nathan was the prophet who called out king David on some of his, errr, shenanigans, not his son … but fiery OT prophet seems to fit Nate F better anyway
Not like Derek to be pushing an agenda he has no understanding of.
“The world’s smartest surfer”. Love it. Who else was in contention?
griffin, obviously
indeed, this was a very fun day.
Derek, i think you should pursue Ivan bro.
What’s the deal with the very talented shaved-head Lemmy? Has he got a story to tell?
What’s it like to play third fiddle to surf world’s hottest commodities? Does he have some sort of background c-suite role in the florence fam, like Chief Strategy Officer or Chief of People? Has he got a real daytime job, like surf brand sales rep or surf instructor? Is he a beachgrit commenter?
Thanks in advance.
John and Nathan have the same dad. Kelly is Ivan’s dad
Ivan could be John’s dad
The Florence brothers are truly the Macdonald twins of our time.
Fast becoming the male Coffey sisters imnsho.
Jeez, Derek as if you haven’t polished Nate’s knob to a high shine already…
True, but he comes back regularly to maintain that high shine, joyfully!
How long would it take
For Derek to shine Nate’s knob?
….. A cupola days…..
Please fuck off the Cabianca adverts.
Not until you buy!
Not a fucking chance giving Dave T or his investors any money.
