Bro , I can't believe this is free. THANKS JOHN JOHN ... the best short surfing film I ve seen in a long time

[@BelleTolles]

i was thinking that also--i didn't mind at all paying for view from a blue moon, and the surfing in this rivals it. But i'm glad for all the true surf lovers that he made it more widely available. Because it certainly is needed right now.

[@Surfingsucksnow]

It’s not free. It’s costs your eyeballs looking at ads for new stretchy shorts and data.

[@christiansullivan6541]

@@Surfingsucksnow did you spend money out of your pocket? No, therefore it is free.

[@Surfingsucksnow]

@@christiansullivan6541 yes, I spent money on the internet I use to view this, and watched the unskippable ads.

1:50 - 2:12 Kelly watching John is pretty incredible

[@wsmc723]

I was going to post a similar comment, I really loved how Kelly sat up so he could watch when he saw John going. I'm sure he knew he was going to see something special......and he certainly did. Best seat in the house!

[@joshdominguez853]

John is the greatest surfer on the planet, unreal

[@tanekurth2026]

@Aquatic Mullet idk man he sure has the style

[@TimTimTomTom]

@Aquatic Mullet I'd say JJ , and Medina are the best now. Slater has the better body of work, but both JJ and Medina are young. Also, Andy was better. AI forever.

[@TimTimTomTom]

@Aquatic Mullet right on, I almost put Italo on my list, but I think he needs to show it a couple more years. Dude is super fun to watch for sure.

[@TAKIDANI]

@Aquatic Mullet Its not about contest surfing at all. Kelly pushed the limits and still does sometimes which is amazing but John is doing it consistently and taking it to another level.

[@joshdominguez853]

@Aquatic Mullet Just to clarify, Kelly is the undisputed GOAT and it's not even close. But today, John is on another level since he is in his athletic prime.

[@TAKIDANI]

When the production matches the surfing .Just incredible .

First class boys, absolutely first class.

Well John. I don't know what to say about this movie. But here it seems that everything has reached the level of perfection. The surf was perfect, cinematography was perfect, the track was excellent, the editing was perfect. I am grateful to be able to watch something like this, because I come from the time of a film called The Performers, with Gary Kong and Marvin Folster and that for me was great. Imagine what I just saw. Out of the curve. Thank you very much. As a professional photographer, I would like to congratulate Erik Knutson. Erik, you took 20/10. An inspiration. Well, I’m from Brazil and I big fan from Gabriel, but I’ll never, ever stop admiring something of this level. Health and joy to you J.J. Florence.
