Out Front

It was a fun weekend of surf, testing some new design ideas with Pyzel. I like the challenge of figuring out a new board, and then figuring out if it can progress the way I want to surf in different waves. Sometimes we end up keeping the original design, but the process of going back and forth always give us new ideas we hadn't thought of @PyzelSurfboardsInternational
Surfers featured: @JJF @NathanFlorence Ivan Florence, @eli_olson Ian Walsh, and Luke Swanson.

The reverse duck dive at 1:05 is the true highlight of the video.

[@timomara7986]

It's a pretty good idea.

[@surfcoach]

I'd love to see an uncut version of the whole board talk from John and Pyzel about his choices (yes, again)

[@nor_easterly]

I’ll second that! John and Pyzel talking about boards is always super interesting. I’ve learned so much from vids of them talking board design

[@koacortina2849]

They have one called board reviews where jjf and pyzel talk about the shadow and ghost

[@christophergreen3538]

That shot of the draggjng leash going through the gate... hilarious 😂

[@tommathews3964]

Congratulations on the Hale'iwa win John! Glad to see you back in top form from the injury! You're a once in a generation talent! I really enjoy these informal "behind the scenes" videos with friends and family! All the best....

[@shred1792]

wow ivans wave at 6:02 - insane

[@leannecuster1490]

Ivan’s ride and appearing out the barrel and jump dive was cool

[@SasoCasablanca63]

Love the insight on the phone chat between Pyzel (I assume) and JJF. JJF, the best surfer of his generation, bar none. Pyzel makes incredible boards with such a touch...

[@williammadray7818]

Everyone of the Florence Brothers are just magical on that surfboard. I have never ever seen another surfer rip a skateboard as good as Ivan Florence. I'm not kidding you he destroys it.

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

4:17 "Nate Goin... GONE!" 🤣 I could watch John surf like that Clockwork Orange scene... 💯

[@Whysicist]

When I was a kid in Kailua, 1960s, when da wave crashes directly on you, with no sweep angle, we called it ‘closed out surf’. These crazies call it Tuesday at da beach. Wow! Every bit as good as da ‘old days’. Honest. Its all about the Love. Pono is to live by… amazing guys… thank you for being you.

[@dongaza6878]

Impossible to watch anybody surf after watching John. Simply the best and by a lot. Thank you

[@frankied9577]

JJF looking like the guitarist Steve Gaines (RIP) of Lynyrd Skynyrd.. That's a compliment he was amazing.. JJF is todays greatest surfer..not to denie the great talented surfers of the world but JJF (and Florence bros) are the true essence of the Sport.. One♥️

[@MensGroup]

I LOVE seeing behind the scenes of you (John) talking to Pyzel. So cool to see what that relationship and testing boards looks like. :) Thank you!

[@soulsurfseeker]

Right in his back yard...wow, what a life...blessed

[@cameraman2149]

I’m happy to see pros still get stoked about waves when they aren’t amazing

[@rydeovashit]

for me this is amazing

[@FollowerofJesus8874]

Congrats on the win john. Always a pleasure watching you rip

[@thesidewalksaint6236]

Pretty much the whole Florence family is poetry and motion on any waves Ivan has really stepped it up and I'm really proud of that kid those guys live the life of dreams

[@sokbok]

oh damn, so fun, thanks JJ, whole crew blastin. n shore is on

[@jonkennard8272]

Oh man power and style so good to watch

[@shrimpygeorge]

4:46 is a special moment, first time Eli got to touch 🐱 Congrats, beautiful 🎉🥹

[@hman7236]

Ivan wins Florence barrel of the winter so far🏆 shot out to all... opening view epically nice.

[@robertsimonson2341]

John, Thanks so much for what you do for surfing. Love the board dissect you did with Pyzel. Sweet ending too. 💪💥

[@bkind2182]

The way you are able to surf through broken and close out waves is amazing and is always awesome to watch. Super enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing with us...

[@surfakimo2674]

Digging the throw back glassing job on the test boards. Red and yellow Hawaiian royalty colors. The recent sandbar sessions from you, Mason, Nate are making me long for those times in the country.

[@zachbriones3213]

“Look at that little one, that’s all I want…” classic surfer line!

[@jameyairmail]

Hi John. Glad you are sharing your surf motion pictures. Thank you.

[@consciouscassandra9944]

Looks like the energy is up this year boys yeww stoking me out from the country ☑️ can’t wait to see what goes down this winter

[@kailuakidd1512]

Florence Bros and the usual suspects, rip shred repeat. Perfect. cheers.

[@taylorcreech2610]

[@Joshua_Peller]

Congrats on Halieva good to see you back on top!

[@rogerdat7807]

I live at Pipeline. See fish, skegs, boards, human flesh. I'm a coral head.

[@nicholassansom3135]

I used to love pulling off the back, the weightlessness of it!!!

[@graemedickey3638]

Best board tester as well. Stop it bro😂😂

[@mjl.9-19]

It's fate. That the Florence's backyard is Hawaii's 7-mile-miracle... what a life. Legendary!

[@edisantos7]

Swell is up over here in Florida, bout to go out tomorrow mornin

[@ghulamyaseen6954]

Nice ❤❤❤❤❤

[@wilmaterna4667]

What a geek! I love it! If you want to be really good at something, you have to delve into it completely and try to understand the most you can. Dunno how he did at school, but if John wanted to, he'd ace every class, just like he's acing surfing! No matter what your kids are into, tell them to delve...

[@Joshua_Peller]

Those boards look great!

[@Huewii_com]

Bus'n!! I like that board, needs a McDonld's sticker on it....cause "I'm Lovin it" : )

[@cielo8842]

😂 "Go you kook!"

[@leannecuster1490]

Those boards carve

[@Vrindavan1008]

come on youtube make this more spread out

[@MrRobinski]

Could have tried more drivey fins. So many things to try need a lot of time but I guess it's in your best interest.

[@tapeworm6093]

[@alikajohnson9250]

Testing some fun formance boards?

[@zakarygabriel2358]

John John is vloging and I am here to see it

[@Raul_lin]

I think no surfboard worked on him jajajaja

[@dallindegooyer6225]

Why does luke almost sound exactly like john

[@leannecuster1490]

People don’t realize how damn dangerous those boards are when you go down those fins are sharp as hell

[@michaelnotary5205]

It looks like the edges could be softened on most of those boards.

[@matthewjohnson2070]

its annoying how easy they make this look

[@danikai2562]

Annoying is the wrong word. It’s all they do. To get good at something you gotta spend countless hours. Surf progression is 90% about reps and the rest is overcoming fear. You’re annoyed because you don’t have the chance to surf like them because you likely don’t live in front of a great stretch of waves and/or because you surf garbage conditions 1 day a week

[@matthewjohnson2070]

@@danikai2562 jesus christ its not that deep😂

[@leannecuster1490]

Red yellow board color is nice

[@markdittbenner9949]

Well all you guys on tour are fu*"*d....I dont know how in the hell your are going to be able to complete with this guy. .hahaha...I guess all of you tour guys will be really just be competing for 2nd...well done JJ...
