Watch: JJF // Red Ten Years Project

Yeah there's a whiff of advertorial in here, some sort of back scratch to the makers of Red Digital, but the footage captured by them makes the inclusion worthwhile.

Since 'Done', released back in 2012, John John has had an eye for both quality and continuity between all his video features. Continuity achieved with editing, fonts used, and the style of storytelling, and quality via his use of Red's ever-improving roster of digital cameras.

Camera nerds may get the most out of this clip, though there's enough hot surfing to keep everyone happy.

Infomercial or not, I could watch JJF surf all day. Beautiful cinematography, classy all round

Same .

He is so good it’s scary..if only his knees held up ..who knows how many world titles he could have won !!

The locations and conditions have also let him down.

manic- mat -rider Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 06:40 pm new

I don't think he will have much trouble transitioning into life after contests. He has so many interests and is developing other skills along the way.

Seems like he has a healthy ego.

goofyfoot Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 08:22 pm new

I reckon you couldn't be any further from the truth, seems like a humble low key guy who just happens to surf better than any one else alive

I take healthy ego to be one that is positive - ie in check.

goofyfoot Saturday, 2 Sep 2023 at 01:59 pm new

Ah yep, I see.
My mistake if that was the case.

Solitude Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 08:32 pm new

I’ve pegged John as one of the most down to earth and humble champions of in sport juegasiempre, what makes you think that? ……….(or do you mean literally his ego is healthy - as to say ‘in check’)

lostdoggy Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 06:41 pm new

Im not going to buy one but at least John John sounds genuine about his belief in the product rather than a full on salesman bullshitting.

Solitude Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 06:48 pm new

With what he’s into, his talent, demeanour and resources, I’ve got no idea why he’d want to chase the CT.

Nick Bone Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 08:12 pm new

On a limb here, but perhaps being touted as the one of the best surfers of his peers since day dot, even though John naturally comes across a legitimate humble guy, subconsciously has something to prove to the world

Because, as you’ve stated, why else would we he want to be there. Perhaps just a competitive beast that juxtaposes his seemly natural demeanour.

Solitude Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 08:28 pm new

Oh yeah he’s been open in a podcast or two about how competitive he is. I think it’s more him against him. He enjoys the challenge of attempting to surf comps with the freedom and flow he does free surfing…….as you say I think he deep down enjoys winning.

Agree with that call nick

Man that was unreal, so clear and colourful. What an artist and athlete he is.

dinnerdish Friday, 1 Sep 2023 at 10:04 pm new

John John you're a total artist man

Optics are the first priority for standout footage.

mredhill Monday, 4 Sep 2023 at 03:16 pm new

Outstanding, absolutely outstanding. The WSL will throw up another 'World Champion' but there's no doubt (in my mind anyway) he's the best going around and has been for some time.

Purchased 2 Florence marine x products today.
In the bargain bin.
See a very big opening within the industry after what happened on Friday.
John needs to bite the bullet and build a team and start producing more wetsuits at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy
He needs to focus towards the core market.

In the bargain bin?

Yikes, that's not a good sign for a (relatively) new brand that should have learnt from the previous over-ordering strategies of the bigger labels.

Lanky Dean Thursday, 14 Sep 2023 at 06:23 pm new

Labour day sales Ben, end of season sales in the USA.
People start waxing snowboards and watching football.
Surf season slows down for most.

JJF has just dropped another YouTube clip, though opening with two minutes of teaching his wife to drive a manual it probably doesn't deserve its own article.

When you sponsor yourself you can ride a board with other sponsors on it.

The best surfer on earth. Second best Reynolds.
