Watch: John John Florence // Friday Morning

It's another gloriously understated vid by JJF, and unsurprisingly packed with highlights, none better than the 'closeout' at 3:40.

It would be nice if this and similiar clips gave a credit to the musicians who soundtrack them. Very enjoyable just the same.Had a nice vibe

Alana_a Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 11:53 am new

Yep, disrespectful imo

Bnkref Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 07:31 pm new

Spot on.

I seem to remember surf clips almost always used to credit the song. Is it a copyright issue?

Not a big ask to flash up the song details in the credits at the end of a clip.

I don't care who wins what, he's the best surfer in the world.

Dan87 Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 08:54 pm new

Completely agree! No one does that. He is a freak!
...and that was one day. Most surfers take a season to make an edit like that!!!

No debate.

Cheers Flintified, loved that. So did the missus.

Seaweed Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 10:59 am new

great surfing and I loved the plover at 2.22, I think i recognise her from the southern ocean beaches in springtime

There's a large gap between John and the rest.Gabrael who?

david de Figueiredo Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 01:08 pm new

Hahaha and you can't spell his name either!

david de Figueiredo Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 01:09 pm new

DAW Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 02:40 pm new

Oh sorry i assumed it was the female version.

Robwilliams Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 02:26 pm new

Powerfully, smooth and fast, naturally dialled and aged in the Hawaiian islands. crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Pretty sick hey! How about his acceleration on that left at around the 1.55min mark, he actually stalls to slow down and then effortlessly rockets off. And that final wave says it all, perfectly executed .

tip-top1 Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 02:38 pm new

he destroys waves with casual style , mind blowing

andy-mac Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 03:26 pm new

Sik!
He makes surfing look so much fun!! Casual cool.....

batfink Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 06:24 pm new

I’m looking forward to future heats in quality waves between JJF and Ethan Ewing. JJF is the best but EE is the only guy I’ve seen that can push him at his own game. Both have style power and flow in spades.

Sure, Gabby will get both of them here and there, he’s an animal, but he ain’t got the flow and huge arcs like those two, in my uninformed opinion.

lostdoggy Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 06:43 pm new

I really don’t know how EE can sit there for a 35min heat and catch just the two waves and nail them.

batfink Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 09:36 am new

True!

sean killen Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 06:42 pm new

Totally agree sprout.. best surfer in the world by a mile!!!!

lostdoggy Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 06:52 pm new

Bogged a few rails.
Dud.
Delist.

velocityjohnno Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 06:59 pm new

Really enjoyed that, the flowing carves were a highlight and that tube near the end was bullshit. The bird was cool too: is it not a gull of some kind?

udo Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 07:03 pm new
goofyfoot Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 07:38 pm new

How did he make that tube?

conrico Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 08:56 am new

No one will ever know

Bungan33 Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 10:36 am new

OMG....my thoughts exactly GF.
Pause the thing at 3:42 and just take it in. In...freakin...sane.
What - is he like 20m from the exit6? Further?

I had to check my video playback was not on 1.5 speed for some of those bottom turn/carve combos - it just seems almost unnatural that speed he gets...

Komodo Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 08:53 pm new

Shralping!

Solitude Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 09:37 pm new

F-me.
That first carve and that last wave.
Shut the gate.

First bit Rocky rights, second bit - ???? Rockpiles? Anyone?

Unbelievable!!

Westofthelake Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 09:46 pm new

So good in so many ways, and geez who doesn't love a good roundhouse cutty

Solitude Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 09:52 pm new

I’d probably score those roundhouses an 8 - although crew can do them, they can’t like that (EE notwithstanding).

southernraw Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 02:02 am new

Anyone else noticing the increased leg, hip and core strength compared to pre last knee injury? Some of his bottom to top turn transitions had a Fanningesque power to them. Noticeable difference imo to pre injury.

Craig Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 09:22 am new

How's that last barrel, fek me! I looked away to continue wrk thinking no way he's making that..

Bungan33 Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 10:37 am new

Ha!
Glad to know Im not the only one who presses play, the looks back down at the desk....
Who said multi tasking is a lie!

Jono Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 09:36 am new

Amazing clip - even more amazing that it's just him having a surf on a Friday morning, and not composed of highlights from various sessions.

Dan Belleli Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 05:35 pm new

That Turn and slide at 330. Just WOW. I seriously watch that slide 10x. that was special.

etarip Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 09:09 pm new

Unreal

blackers Monday, 6 Feb 2023 at 10:13 pm new

Late to the party, geez he is good. Effortless destruction. Could watch his clips all day.
