As the dude who requested the interview with the Florence mom a while back, just wanted to say thanks for touching on your upbringing Nathan and John. Interesting insights, and I hope to lean into what my kids get into too. Mahalo
The mention by John of competing with Kelly for so many years brought me back to the fact they were a big reason why my wife and I moved from Seattle to Hawaii. I was a Florida surfer (2nd Light & The Streets in Cocoa Beach) and of course, I was a Kelly fan. So when my wife got us a free trip from Seattle to Hawaii in 2011, I said ok, but it had to be during Pipe (which we drove to every day from Honolulu and saw every heat from start to finish)...and so we got to see Kelly and John in their Quarterfinal Heat 2 matchup. I told my wife (a Seattle girl who had never before seen surfing) that these two were The Best and The Future Best and that this was an epic matchup. It was a great heat, Kelly winning on, I think, his last wave. And so between the crowd roaring on every wave, and the high quality of surfing in big Pipe waves, she said, "now I know why surfing means so much to you." Between that amazing week of surfing and then the next week which we spent fishing for o'io on Moloka'i, we decided to move to Moloka'i, which we did in 2015...so thank you John...and thanks to Nate and Koa and team for these truly enjoyable podcasts...Dal J
Nate's interview notes on a "I ❤️ A$$" sticker! Priceless!!! Great questions from Koa as usual, great humour from Nate, and a rare chance to take a look at the human JJF. You've done it again boys! This is GOLD 🏆🙌✨️🤙
3 Major League Legends. Salute. Blessings. Once were just a group of small grom kid’s who grew up there and ripping when they were little and now have become Major player’s.
I remember seeing their little gang several times walking up and down Ke Nui past my homeys driveway as kids and my homey always saying, those kids are freakin badasses brah. Man he wasn’t kidding. 59-163 forever 🤙🏻🤙🏻
❤Love seeing how Florences indirectly honoring how your mom brought you guys up (in contrast, as a boomer who hated school, Waialua High, … ditched to surf or staring out window day dreaming … as my parents not present and abusive, so ocean was my only amazing grateful refuge) … and why I have loved seeing thru you guys what a great job your mom did! WHY I so love you guys! You guys are the wayshowers to new generations coming up ❤ Great blessings to your mom 🌈🥰 And have loved checking out John’s out there of him mind art videos … sooo much creativity … as a great balance to being a huge athelete. And loving hearing these great memories for all of you … 😂… lots of awesome wisdom John has realized for himself
Such wise words from JJF. The realisation after achieving the goal of world champion, "it's all about the process." It's all about the journey, not the destination. Preach brother!!! ✨️🙏🙌🙏✨️
This was hands down the best ever interview I've ever heard with John. And every second of it was interesting from all of them. Like hearing John's perspective on no longer starting at pipe. (Although he didn't go as far as I would have and said what a joke that one day win a title thing is). And I've always wondered how he really felt after that title. It seems like it's similar for many people. Like he and Tyler went back to back, then she was I'll and John was injured for so long. And Medina seems to be struggling with it. Kelly, I think just thrives on winning even more than surfing. Like the way he basically got back in the game to beat Andy. Or for awhile seemed to make John that focus. It made me a little sad when they talked about how they all hung out all the time -- I know those must have been some of the best times for them. And the bike story was hilarious. I hope John stays healthy this year. Having him on tour is the only reason I watch it. Once he's out, I don't watch the rest of the comp. He was so switched on at pipe. The judges screwed him on that one. Oh and when they were talking about great heats John has been in, I wish someone had brought up the last heat Taj Burrow ever surfed professionally -- with John at cloudbreak. I think that was my favorite heat ever because the great waves were nonstop and both of them were so switched on it was insane. I go back and watch that often. I can tell that John is in it for the surfing this year, like he said, just trying to let go and really surf at your peak freely. I'd love to see that strategy win instead of some of the guys who are much more into winning than surfing, including playing stupid games with hassling and blocking. Great job koa and Nate on an A+ interview
You have no idea what it's like to get up at 0530, check the phone, and see a NEW Podacst Episode has dropped AND it has special guest JJF ✨️🙌✨️🙌✨️😍✨️ You guys are the freaking BEST! Now I get to sit with you legends and catch up while everyone else sleeps. Massive gratitude and respect from the UK, you make Friday mornings ROCK! 🤙✨️🙌
I learned from mixed martial arts and other sports, Navy missions and maneuvers, that the key to performing at your best, after and aside from the work to develop the skills, is to be completely relaxed, getting into that zone..Which is the hardest battle, it's really you battling yourself, and whoever masters their mind the most complete, can perform the best when it counts..When it's life and death, you can get into slow motion mode, when your senses catch every detail, which is next level freaky...
Right on the money except I don't think it has to be life and death to go into slow motion. It happens every time I get barreled or the rare occasion I feel like attempting airs!!!
Such an awesome interview ! I think that he definitely feels more comfortable interviewing with you guys than for an anonymous interview so he's more open in his answers. The pod is fire ! Keep it up !!! 😛🤙 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
John’s X factor is the fact that his wave IQ is so much greater than the rest. Makes sense that the boys may not realize that/ bring it up because you guys grew up together, but from an outsiders perspective, it’s everything
Thank you guys for getting John in there especially at this early part of CT. Even aside from the new format which seems to put inordinate amount of pressure on the surfers, the competition seems FIERCE this year. I think John has raised the bar for everyone over the years.
Lesson learned, "it's the process, not the destination". This is why I love watching John's interviews; I learn things about surfing that are applicable in life, in general. Way to go!
You guys are crushing it! Keep up this approach. I love it when the conversation rolls into your old stories and hearing about all the good times. Going to be visiting in 3 weeks and can't wait to hang out on the North Shore and get some pictures. Heading over to Koa's site to get my This Is Livin shirt! :) Nate:Thought you had some good notes for today's podcast, til you turned the sticker over. 🤣😅 Keep it rollin boys and good to see you back in the water Nate.
I absolutely love how you guys do this podcast. What an awesome , true and genuine podcast. John Florence, the best surfer of his generation, bar none. He will win this year.
@@markpuebla8022 he’s a 3 time world champ and John John is probably number 2 or 3 but air game Medina, back hand Medina, barrel riding even. In terms of winning heats it’s not close and that’s not a knock on John John
@@jonathonmurrison939 Medina is great, but John John has something called an IT factor that no one has. John John is like the Michael Jordan of surfing, while Medina is Lebron. Different styles, but one is a muse on waves and is part of the wave, while the other fights the wave. No one surfs like John Florence. About World titles. JJF would have 6 by now f not for injuries. Go see where he ranked when injured.
@@SasoCasablanca63 I’d argue Medina is more like MJ and JJF is way more like Lebron. Medina is just as completive if not more competitive than people people like MJ and Kelly Slater. Also Medina’s already been in 3 pipe masters finals and he didn’t grow up surfing the wave and definitely has the IT factor
Nate loves Association. Not secret anymore. Koa loves surfing and John loves destroying the other competitors. I love you guys and Kelly and Jaime. So do a podcast with them too!
What John and Nate were referring to with respect to education is known as "experiential learning" which is a child's education that supports each individual child's interests and inclinations. In ancient Hawai'i children were apprenticed or tutored to kumu who instructed them in their area of interest by having them follow and observe their daily routine.
One of your better podcasts super genuine and fun to listen to, keep it up guys. You should get a mic setup though the audio gets a little annoying when multiple people talking at once and harder to listen if not also watching.
17:48 Tell john john to never look at the judges .. if he just takes the wave does his thing turn around go back out and leave it be… your surfing speaks for itself. Thats legendary stuff. Hes humble as is… good man.. 18:28 exactly just surf
@@kylecollins5952 i explained this better yesterday in chat and someone i never thought i could convince felt it.. understood it.. dont be mad… be understanding
@@solomon6082 not mad, just kind of an unrealistic expectation is all im saying given the competitive climate. Those dudes are emotional. And In the CT world where almost everyone claims everything John’s claims seem to be the most honest. They are almost anti-claim in itself. But believe me, I’d love to watch an event and not see someone counting to ten on their fingers and then doing a fadeaway jumper off their board. Maybe John can bring back the no claim claim….
Wow just amazing. loved the part about education! Actually, the whole thing was education. I am alot older to hear you talk about Kelly was mind blowing. I remember him at 16 years of age, one day sitting under a lean too with Hogen boys and his brother in front of Pipe watching him at Eukai sand bar. I just knew I was watching a world champ in the stages. Life just fly's bye I remember all you kids running around now look at yah. I had a little run myself but in skiing. I was the 7th man for NCAA division 1, 4 years then assistant coach. Lot of those kids went to ski schools but walking on a division 1 school not a easy task being raised your whole life in Hawaii. Being Dyslexic on top of that, to hear you guys were just getting through high school and to see how you started in filming and camera's just wild. The vlogs, how you all started playing around with film. I too got into Photography before Covid sold 210 photos feels good. What your mom put you guys through most have no idea how hard it is to raise your kids on the North Shore. I was a Hawaii Kai brat myself. We all had our mentors, guys like Mike Garrity and women like Wendy Moore was mine when it came to learning breaks like Piko's and Kikos you guys must have had so many uncles Aunties to teach you the ropes. Love the podcast. You will sit back years from now with this footage and go wow we gave people a look at what it took to be a world champion most never get that. Thanks you!
I was trying to get a "Media arts school" set up at the surf ranch and build it around the science, technology and media related to of surfing . Surfers can get really smart studying waves etc. Still a good idea but maybe Hawaii needs that more.
Cool take on home schooling and parents helping their kids pursue their passions/direction... been thinking a lot about that for my 2 little ones lately. Good to hear thoughts from those who have lived it with that type of parenting. And yes....working from home is hard to focus, this post is proof ; )
That was soooooooooo epic loved every second the right questions were asked👏👏think even Koa had some Ah ha moments and has something he could contemplate….I have some design suggestions please make a zip up hoodie with a pocket that fits a large iPhone so that it doesn’t fall out easily that drives me crazy I always where a pullover hoodie bc it has a large pocket but prefer zip up hoodies trust me it’s a thing my friends and I have discussed/complained about this many times…. So nice to see you all interacting together 😁🙌🙌
Hey boys just got home from work and I pop on the tube and yes! Big John is on firing! Although he should’ve been episode 12 and you guys should’ve done something special for the guy joining in on cast! Haha Nate diggidy dog so glad to see you’re back out there! Koa I’m still thinking about the localism! I think You guys are in your prime and at the point that you should think about enforcing a bit according to the times now. Or just turn Nate loose on em UFC style 😂 seriously a great podcast today! You guys have me cracking up. It’s great to watch you guys cool and relaxed having some chuckles. One thing I’ve learned in life is that the magic in achieving goals lies in each moment along the journey! That’s where it’s at! All an inside job. And hey, if you snag a few world titles along the journey, so be it! Lol All of you guys have terrific success because of one another. Cheers 🍻 🏄♂️ 🌊 🤙
Awesome podcast, keep it going. It would be cool to hear you guys talk about the biggest mistakes you see from beginner/intermediate surfers. I would pay a premium for that episode haha.
My god ... I was laughing so hard “that la what I love to do “ “best my friends at everything and make them suffer” ;) Probably the best e-road bike story in human history!!! Great job all around
Maybe you guys could fly to a CT event and interview a random competitor through the season?? Awesome to see good friends talking about life though. It's like therapy that all men need. 👍🏽
we all know John's surfing but it's rare to listen to how he thinks. really cool. good job Koa and Nate!
That was more enlightening, more satisfying and more fun than anything that has come from the WSL. You guys are killing it. Thank you.
100%.
John is the ambassador of the surfing community in Hawaii he represents well super humble on Land Fire 🔥 in the Water 🌊
By far. You can't script this.
I have your lastname but with one P. Is it the same?
Agreed, I am completely unable to listen to the WSL
As the dude who requested the interview with the Florence mom a while back, just wanted to say thanks for touching on your upbringing Nathan and John. Interesting insights, and I hope to lean into what my kids get into too. Mahalo

I surfed 2nd Light once. It was by Patrick AFB. My main spot was New Smyrna. It's not Hawaii, but I had fun surfing the East Coast.
Nate's interview notes on a "I ❤️ A$$" sticker! Priceless!!!
Great questions from Koa as usual, great humour from Nate, and a rare chance to take a look at the human JJF. You've done it again boys! This is GOLD 🏆🙌✨️🤙
I love how it’s so casual, someone walks by and there talking to them. Just love the chill vibe
Wasn't that JOB?
Think it was Pyzel, Koa’s house and he’s right next door. Plus I think I heard one of them say ‘another John’
3 Major League Legends. Salute. Blessings. Once were just a group of small grom kid’s who grew up there and ripping when they were little and now have become Major player’s.
Not that long ago. So cool that they grew up and have so much footage of it

John is so likeable. Really thoughtful guy.
Only Koa and Nate could get a decent interview out of John. It’s a very cool convo. Thanks for doing this! Eddie Rothman next!
There's a great one on RUclips with John and Jordie Smith, talking about the tour etc. Really cool
Such wise words from JJF. The realisation after achieving the goal of world champion, "it's all about the process." It's all about the journey, not the destination.
Preach brother!!! ✨️🙏🙌🙏✨️

Such an awesome interview ! I think that he definitely feels more comfortable interviewing with you guys than for an anonymous interview so he's more open in his answers.
The pod is fire ! Keep it up !!! 😛🤙 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best candid discussion/interview I have ever seen with John
John’s X factor is the fact that his wave IQ is so much greater than the rest. Makes sense that the boys may not realize that/ bring it up because you guys grew up together, but from an outsiders perspective, it’s everything
wave IQ such a cool concept
That was cool. A bunch of smart, successful young men who are making the most of their lives.
This was one of the best podcasts I’ve every listened too, big respect guys! 3 legends🔥🤙
Super cool boys another great vlog.
I love seeing the friendship and comfort of it.
Keep up the awesome work.
… such a pleasure to listen. These guys are amazing … they really are.
This was Awesome!!! Great conversation Boys!
Fascinating insights from JF on competing. You forget how much elite athletes give up. Love these clips 🤟🏽🙏🏽
This is gunna be a huge pod, love the content 🤙🙌
Keep it going boys! You’re onto something that NOBODY ELSE is doing
Such a good episode obviously a natural flowing conversation but peppered with deeper questions
These 3 are humble surfers,who surf big waves and surf well.million respect for all you guys! Very inspiring !🤙🤙🤙🙏😊
That was the best! To be able to sit at the table with you guys and hearing first hand chatting is awesome! Thank you!
Thank you guys for getting John in there especially at this early part of CT. Even aside from the new format which seems to put inordinate amount of pressure on the surfers, the competition seems FIERCE this year. I think John has raised the bar for everyone over the years.
Another fantastic show. Learned a lot. Thanks again you guys!
Great video guys ! Love the new channel with Nate and Koa !
This is just a magic Vlog friends catching up so great Nathan Koa and John

Excellent podcast! How about a podcast with John and Nate's mom?
Yep.She would have the stories.
That was so good ! That hill climb with john and Nathan was hilarious !

More chill chats with John please, hi from Argentina.
This video was soooo good! Informative, interesting and you guys are frikkin hillarious as usual....love you guys!
Awesome how you guys talk about being passionate about something…I always told my kids follow your passion no matter what it is

But will Ivan actually talk this time 🤣🤣🤣
1989 watched Kelly compete at Budweiser Huntington. On cable TV. He was so amazing..stood way out
You guys crushed this it will help all entrepreneurs ❤
JOB on the vlog!!!!!!!!!
super entertaining!
I enjoy having my Friday beers watching you guys 🍻cheers 🇦🇺
that was awesome 💙
wow just watched the latest pod, the RODE mic makes a massive difference
You guys are right about supporting kids' passions at a young age
True masters. So humble
Nathan koa John thank you 😃🤙 opening thoughts on schooling absolutely agree, mum Florence is a smart woman 🤙
I love the absence of giant podcast mikes blocking everyone's faces. Wondering who gets e bikes on the "from the bikes" eoisode.
So awesome to see JJF in a cruisy interview coz he's like a myth and a legend already at his young age.
Always entertaining boyzzz
🤙🏄
Brilliant 👏...
thank you for posting keep it up!!!!
Awesome podcast, keep it going. It would be cool to hear you guys talk about the biggest mistakes you see from beginner/intermediate surfers. I would pay a premium for that episode haha.
Love these podcasts, but a higher quality mic is desperately needed
really? i can hear them fine.
Yall are killing it! Love the content. Now let's get Bert on the pod!!
Everything about u guys is just awesome knowledge! I just dig your podcasts
I love this, it’s so real.
You guys should do this with John every time he comes back home after the tour events.
My god ... I was laughing so hard “that la what I love to do “ “best my friends at everything and make them suffer” ;)
Probably the best e-road bike story in human history!!!
Great job all around
Yeah the boys unreal insight from John and always a fucking laugh keep it up legend's!
Easily the best podcast I’ve seen
Maybe you guys could fly to a CT event and interview a random competitor through the season??
Awesome to see good friends talking about life though. It's like therapy that all men need. 👍🏽
Super cool, surfers always keep it real, much love 😘 guys
I love watching Koa look at the camera during convo's
