I always wondered what it’d be like to just be having a casual session and you look up and see John John stomp a 540

[@floridaboy9641]

Liking the inside content. Hope you’re recovering nicely from the surgery

[@MicahsSurfVideos]

John has a super solid crew supporting him!

[@76jazza]

Good vibes with the crew, sweet blades and positive energy all round...

[@thecitizenjoan]

Pyzel needs his own vlog 😂

[@pyzelphantom4355]

cant wait to watch you back on the tour

[@jasonpoynter5971]

Pyzel should have his own channel. He’s always entertaining!

[@chrisculpen9205]

My favorite so far. Only because of knowing and working with Pyzel. Legend. The end is classic. Jon just simplifying it! hahaha

[@justamobile]

This was so good to watch. Damn that injury!

[@facundoyoung6352]

Good luck on the recovery.watching from Uruguay

[@cudavrage]

Fourth, Firecrackers, Florence...doesn't get much better!

[@Sharru]

Legends

[@KandMe1]

Nice boards that was kinda funny pushing the heel into the deck, his reaction. Being lite there is loss of strength so many broken boards these days, so easy to dint those decks. It was great to watch and listen to the haircut conversation with Nathan, I like his vlogs hope you do more of that and Ivan, maybe he doesn't like the camera so much, thanks for the post dude.

[@royalzion576]

John John on the Gold Coast is always sick! loved the video, wish Nathan can come too next time yewww

[@kaicurth2443]

These videos r soooo good🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@joaopalmeiro7924]

Best surfer

[@whitecloud3356]

Nice 🤙

[@surf2live96789]

It would be sick if you document the recovery and the comeback. Good luck with the knee aloha

[@jay999tv]

Golf ball was too much🤣🤙🏻

[@chrisdem8631]

Yea man

[@jeremyandrews4126]

Like nah luv the tracks

[@anaclara-xn3hu]

O melhor no mar... John John...

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Awesomeness cool

[@SeanPatrick71]

Golf ball decks are the future.

[@callsign_daddy6737]

I’m subscribed to your channel and liked every video.

[@kyeporter6676]

just one of those boards would be nice

[@catarinaw1324]

❤️❤️❤️

[@alanmorrison1058]

Would golf ball indents under the board increase speed?

[@brettwalker8877]

those pressure dings tho

[@slyder-tv]

4:47 You've gone too far.... 😀

[@Sjbtr19674]

i love his curly hair...

[@mysteriouslyenigmaticbodyp5602]

two questions. where do i get one of those foils? and will i be that good first try?

[@coryyoung8289]

I wondered where Ross williams went, hes awseome

[@mikaelnelson8339]

pressure ding your new board in front of your shaper hahahqq

[@joegibbs2508]

Do that to the bottom if you're thinking in terms of golf ball design. Aerodynamics= hydrodynamics.

[@Michael-dq9jz]

I seriously only watch the WSL to see Kelly & John so I’m bummed but my first thought is for JJF to get healthy & happy ✌️

[@softtyt913]

Good

[@ez5undaze95]

That guy reminds me of Anthony Bourdain rip

[@luciaseacreature8705]

omg poor Mr Pyzel ha ha

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Hey John do you ever play any other sports outside of surfing to stay fit..? playing football ( soccer ) or tennis can really help with reaction times and core strength, aerobic training.. not to mention it's hella lotta fun.

[@rawspace1212]

John john can boost like no other, but can his tendons, ligaments, & muscles handle it? Lifting weights might be somethings john john will need to adopt to further his domination.

[@wesleychapman9001]

Wouldn't have prevented John's ACL injury - acute accidents happen.

[@robertpatterson8437]

Lifting weights doesn’t help you surf dude 😂 Cardio and strength training does

[@robertpatterson8437]

Julian Perez depends what weights. Massive difference between gaining mass over strength. Using your body weight is the best way to gain strength and speed.

[@dons1932]

@@robertpatterson8437 As a weightlifting surfer, trust me, all it does is slow you down. You won't find any fast action sport, from motor racing to tennis to running to swimming where bulk from heavy weights does you any good. Staying lean, quick, spry and athletic is what's needed. Muscle is dense and heavy, ALL it does is slow you down, and weigh you down in the water. You don't need strength, you need endurance and reaction / reflex.

[@robertpatterson8437]

Don S You obviously haven’t read everything I’ve said dude 😂 my first comment I state that lifting weights will not help you in surfing in any way. I’ve studied the human body and how best to gain specific ways to improve it. Like I said using your body weigh to gain speed and STRENGTH as in endurance and over all stamina is a great way to go. I agree with you, just don’t think you understood what I was trying to say

[@TheMattysez]

at 6.21 Pyzel is talking.. the board behind him, looks almost like there are channels in the foam??? do you channel for strength in these light boards, but in the foam? or is that light making it look that way

[@barbarapiard]

Why do they use the motors on the boards ?

[@maxeddy6914]

Pyzel's arms are so freaking long!

[@alanahbaptistamagic4243]

what’s hanging yo yo surf up

[@natangiovane]

Muito estilo

[@miguelpessanha]

Poor Pyzel, thought he wasn't going to be blullied no more after highschool...

[@sandybitssurfleague3716]

Hilarious

[@justmikehk]

Get well doon sir John. Can you autograph a hat to mike and give it to ross. Tell him its for the son of one of the guys that sprayed ross's yard😎

[@clhism]

I surf at peniche portugal 🇵🇹

[@xWaxxy]

Koalas aren’t bears, Pyzel. ;)

[@rafaelsantana1949]

Hey J, add “SPACE” to this channel.

[@dons1932]

Those boards look wider than I'd have expected. And over 6 ft to even 6 2 did he say? I always like a bigger board. The days of the squashed in low volume match sticks are well and truly over IMO.

[@Xainfinen]

Yeah, the application of composite material, carbon fiber & Fluid Dynamics Simulation really made high performance surfboards reach the extra step, with a better volume distribution, resistance, buoyancy and hydrodynamic without compromising the initial design and dims of the boards. All this even make them more accessible to low skilled surfers, good times to be a surfer.

[@haha5571]

@@Xainfinen relax mate, most of what you said makes no importance to 99% of surfers

[@Xainfinen]

@@haha5571 Actually it does because it relate to surfboards performance and more surfers are starting to learn what make a good board and what would be good under their feet. But It's not very interesting to the majority of surfers since they're not shaper or surfboard's geek and have very little interest in Technical Know-How. Also don't be dismissive to people who are interested in the tech and inner working of something. People like that are often the reason we progress and can enjoy many things in live.

[@haha5571]

@@Xainfinen most people would be better off having a board with way more volume then they normally ride ( at least another 30%), flat bottom with V and it being a single fin with small side fins... that's it...

[@Xainfinen]

​@@haha5571 What? No, that's not it. I think you misunderstand progress in the surfboard industry. What you said is exactly what all these new tech allow and more: better material for better buoyancy, resilience and volume distribution as well as fins variety from those FDS. Thus giving a wider range of high performance boards that can be used by intermediate to advanced surfers. The 46-55+ L (+30% than regular boards) all-round, shortboard that aren't 8ft logs, still paddle as good and help the above average Joe to catch more wave. That's tech! And there you have it, that's *it!* Volume is in everyone mouth since the last 4 years, more people are getting educated about surfboards to get what's best for them. Sure, many buy things that aren't suited for them but that's not the point and if they don't want to learn that's their problem. All that mumbo jumbo to try to contradict what I've said or making it sound useless without understand it in the first place is tiresome. Not everything is a marketing ploy and a James Bond gadget.

[@wildanharis3248]

Wah jonjon yugut surfing lakey peak surfing

[@kingleunitas5920]

John needs to start weight training with Nate! He needs more strength to prevent injury and he's unstoppable!

[@antoz8229]

They're not koala bears they're just koalas

[@jzkramer]

What's the logic behind training on the Gold Coast? Cool place for most people; not so much if you're from Hawaii.

[@thecitizenjoan]

All you Vlogging Hawaiians don’t forget to still make a surf film once a year or two

The guy who always traveling with john is such a fuckin cook, whos that guy by the way ?

[@Vincent_toia]

Dude, I hope your knee is doing better. I don’t even want to watch WSL unless you’re surfing.

[@soulsurfer3102]

Wsl will not be the same with out Jhon. J.f

[@mysteriouslyenigmaticbodyp5602]

vote 1 jjf for prez

[@PeterOchabski]

I'm a huge JJF fan, have been from the start, but intentionally digging your heel and making pressure dings for no reason (bad jokes are not a reason) on what is basically Pyzels hand shaped and sculpted art is just heartbreaking. Be careful about losing touch and realize that most people save all year for ONE new board that you are so casually effing up. Pressure dings from use are a testament, doing them intentionally when the creator is repeatedly asking you to stop is just childish and cruel. Not sure why this bothered me so much, just disappointed I guess.

[@awelldressedape3419]

He's getting the deck dented up for better grip. Pyzel has been doing concave decks on some of JJ's boards, this one might not have had it. Can see why Jon would be getting a bit squeamish watching JJ try to "break in" his new craft.

[@jmlee84]

sdad I know they have known each other for a lifetime but jjf just comes off as disrespectful

[@notleeland]

maybe quit being such a weenie and get over it

[@seylahbenz3000]

all you dumb haoles need to beat it stop surfing already boom hows daht no more boards for no body

[@HugodaSilvaRibas]

I think it was funny, he was goofing around. LOL

can i get one pls

Just stop. Stop it. Stop. Come on. Like a dad keeping kids in line.

[@tonysmario817]

does anyone question the production of endless disposable plastic surfboards in an era where we are told, the earth is quickly becoming unsustainable due to human consumption?...not to mention the WARS over oil so we can build all our surfboards, surf wear, and surf gear from petroleum based products in china, where the air from the factories is so bad it is one of the leading causes of death in the cities...and who cares about the marine life these policies effect... let's pat ourselves on the back for being so CONSCIOUS and awake... 'four pound nine ounce' surfboard...yeah, that will last. let's make tens of thousands of them, huh pyzel? anyone ever heard of buoyancy to density ratio? would you ride a 2 pound piece of foam if you could? why not?...it would have no drive because it has no DENSITY. modern boards are only HALF the story. what you are missing john...and nate...and all you brave guys who ride big waves... i'm trying to bring it to you...maybe next year. i'll be in touch. meanwhile...please think about the nature of promoting primarily kooks who produce plastic crap making the most soulful 'sport' in the world into a fucking SURFMART. stay safe john. keep ripping for yourself, and look to the future.

[@brettwalker8877]

those pressure dings tho
