[@AnimeDimension]

[@riellyc199]

That last drone shot was an incredible perspective of how the wave works

[@amasamadi4560]

i’m glad the florence brothers represent the best kind of surf culture. and slater there as well is so cool

[@Treat.Trooper]

The dynamic of the entire Florence family & all of their attitudes are f ing beautiful 🙌

[@joogsquad]

Love to see this sand bar footage every time, legendary stuff

[@megacatsupreme466]

From swampfest to John John's comments. Jack is everywhere.

[@richardandre6993]

Too bad you suck

[@scotts7833]

John and Kelly literally the two best barrel riders on the planet weaving through sections inaccessible to the other 99.99999% of us. The amount of skill and innate ability is almost overwhelming to witness.

[@DanielSilva-bx5ed]

Medina is in this club!

[@nickortcoski6769]

You know one thing that's missing from that, Mason Ho!

[@SasoCasablanca63]

Amazing shots and footage. That was epic. John Florence, the best rider of his generation, bar none.

[@monicacampbell4600]

It's that crazy sandbar slab surf soup you Florence brothers love so!! 😬🌊💙

[@SurfSplendor]

Holy!! That drone angle is surreal.

[@JJF]

Side hustle for Nate

[@scopes_music]

@@JJF pilot florence with the artsy angglesss, watch out JOB hahah

[@mj-nx9rf]

This JJF and Kelly footage is unreal! Please more edits or surf videos! The goat with the baby goat

[@michaelkrentzin]

My man John, and Kelly, and Ivan, and Nathan, and Buddy!

[@Goldfishlive]

That opening shot 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Those last few barrels had my jaw DROPPED to the floor! Absolute psycho drainers 🔥 Shredding boys!!

[@theodorehorton3288]

[@Endless_somers]

Nice father son moment near the end there :)

[@tommydibitonto5119]

So sick

[@nouseforaname5378]

This is wild

[@BelleTolles]

Seriously, that intro is art -- so trippy psychedelic 😍

[@raymondmartinez1588]

INSANE !!!!! SOOO MUCH WATER

[@rodolfosiqueira3055]

massive attack! just Blacktrunks surf the waves crush in the backyard hahaha its crazy season🤙🔥🌊😎

[@0warami_7oo]

the Australian influence on Hawaiian surfing ! practice for slabs boys

[@Drewdrew011]

That shot at the end is sick!

[@JJF]

Nate’s big debut on the drone !!

[@orygoner]

Erik's reactions/commentary is the 👌

[@andymurday4538]

These shots of the waves both on ground level and above are awesome.

[@MarleyOrdonezPOV]

Looks fun but scary at the same time haha! Everyone was sending it

[@justpaulo]

Every other youtuber: surfing with Kelly Slater ! John John Florence: NS Slot Machine.... (not even: feat KS) Legend...

[@brendan7258]

The skit about surfing it only if people are out couldn't be more true for so many waves haha

[@MiC-T]

How has Kelly's spine stayed so elastic after 50 years? I can barely tie my FUCKING shoes.

[@alanduncan9605]

Awesome drone footage,that first clip.when they paddle over that wave ,& just dissappear.

[@nickortcoski6769]

That is like surfing the washing machine, more like the front loader where you can see the suds!

[@mobleysurfer805]

the opening swallow to the "all these years" intermission was brilliant, John must be a smidge bummed he didn't make that one, last angle shows the make was there, little tickle of the lip and elusive dragon slips away again. Kelly is the 4th Florence bro. Much love.

[@connorm3457]

Exfoliating.....Island style 💪💪💪🤙🤙😊

[@ODL957]

They should do an Eddie version at the Gums. This video should be nominated for an Oscar under the short film category for the insane action, the music and the Explosive content!!!!

[@davidstaudohar6733]

Great footage 🎥🎞️🎞️ 🌊🌊🏄🏄 Hang ten. Brhadda 🤙, Wow what a wild ride ,‼️

[@LiLDiddee]

the opening sequence is gorgeous

[@mrmcclintock534]

It so is, I wanna know the music track too, so cool

[@kristof007]

I was surprised that all the boards made it until it didn't. RIP red / yellow!

[@neilguy1222]

great cinematography again heads above the rest

[@realkanakamaoli]

Not long ago the only people surfing Gums were the bodyboarders. Now John, Koa, Nathan and the rest of their crew make it look easy. Getting all the free boards they want doesn't hurt, and gives them the freedom most of us mortals will never have.

[@nickortcoski6769]

Yes, I wanted to mention the free board's thing as well. Solid point that one, as JJF illustrates, he looked real good on that red one, betcha he was bummed: for like a minute.

[@Bonnieham]

What happens to the broken boards…dumpster or repaired?

[@scottburrow8717]

Definitely some serious talent to surf that shore break

[@thesamimartin]

What a sick video!

[@jb-es5zj]

the start getting sucked into those vortexes so cool

[@feanorwerm]

Man, more vids of you guys surfing with Slater would be unreal! It's so sick to see the GOAT surfing with JJ and crew. Love the contrasting styles and lines they both draw.

[@MM5150LA]

There not that good ya think.

[@andrewlang3305]

Looks so heavy! Epic shots

[@pedroalbuquerque3686]

012: não deixe o mar te engolir! the sickest video ever John! thanks bro, legends in the water!

[@petermcmahon15]

Ivan ripping the bags and looking like he belongs to a Mexican Cartel

[@lancejackson3618]

lol🤣

[@kevinfisher1070]

One of the craziest things I’ve seen this winter

[@surfriderca9707]

JJF has the best surf channel, hands down. Top tier content.

[@arthurvidal1180]

love funky shorebreaks

[@wildes_]

I see this partnership with RED going very VERY well if content like this keeps rolling out - cheers fellas from New Hampshire

[@Rodrigo-kg6wo]

Another great choice of music, love the sandbar videos!

[@blakewill1933]

Some of the best days are just having fun. These guys rock it.

[@business_time2610]

Best sound track suiting the footage I've ever heard 😎

[@upsidedahead]

Nice to see you sharing a mad sandbar slab with your dad !

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Amazing for a podcast guest.

[@jd32k]

2:10 Ivan's wave. So damn good

[@logantaueki9149]

Some of those drone shots are nasty, getting sucked back into the abyss lol. Some of those waves have like 5 steps. Good going boys and uncle kelly

[@shay_G]

Great video🤙

[@joshuaanderson4311]

THAT WAS AMAZING SURFING TO WATCH

[@bill6112]

Jeezus everything John puts out is a masterpiece

[@ryanlacey777]

Unreal

[@leighgilmour1702]

Whoop whoop 🙌🏼 🎉

[@bonjourserge]

Now I know how pro surfers make those crazy drops- they practice in this madness!! 🤯

[@joshrobinson5616]

Every year i say it: This is MADNESS! I also say, so BADASS!🤘🤘🤘

[@wagon8053]

Jackpot!!!

[@darrenmarney8577]

That drone footage at the start was incredible 👌

[@orangedotyellowdot1481]

Damn that's gnarly dude! You really have to surf here more often

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

id call that Maytags. Love the beats. Super fine edit boys.

[@spicoledude]

slater getting pounded was kinda funny

[@samuelahernandezc396]

this is awesome

[@BigBoner808]

GO IVAN!!!!!

[@matth22]

the production on these vids are insane

[@ewenmahevas3473]

Incredible

[@photobossbali]

That first drone shot is so rad. Nice work fellas

[@audioeins]

❤ im back, months later, even more impressed than before. and i thought my little sessions at skulls was tempting trouble. you guys are amazing. and i am very inspired by you and this, even though there is no way that kind of behavior suits me now, as it once did, especially after literally testing the water only to realize that things are far worse and restrictive for me than i had hoped, regarding physical condition. i wish so much i was not permanently damaged so that i could do that too, or even a fraction, maybe even distant close enough to you guys to get to see that in person. Its that kind of behavior that i was planning to ride the nathan florence pyzel pod racer on, with hopes that it could take the beating and not need constant repairs. but alas, after padding and tempting fate on a precious fiberglass 6'2" with near width and thickness, the 5'9" was simply likely too much a stretch. the pod racer 6'2" specs, especially width and thickness, were a solid though, and might have been just right. anyway, i would be lucky to be able to ride a supportive and long enough board, i cant body board due to need of spinal and full body extremity support and prevent whiplash), on my stomach, or to ride a longer (6'6" probably, not too long because it needs to fit in my car, maybe 6'0" if thick and wide enough, and probably full foam at this point) Waikiki style whereby i take a good drop and ride straight with the foam. even that, though, has yet to happen and seems distant. im stoked to see you guys charging so hard and going for broke. proud of you :) also, this is for sure one of, if not my very, which i think it actually is, favorite videos of yours :)

[@dcxxx6850]

So sick ! One of the best surf videos I’ve seen in a long long time 🤙🏼

[@chrisculpen9205]

😂 that white tiger held up longer than I thought it would.

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

That opening shot is HILARIOUS!

[@davidhutchison3952]

Best edit I see in long time. Thanks yall from Savannah GA.

[@nicholasalexander4482]

Oh dang a lil more of that zoomed out view like at the end pls

[@DavidAdams-ii8qw]

that was wicked on every level, perfect

[@jacobthompson8083]

That closing shot really framed how much energy there is going over basically dry ground. Insane

[@teddyduchamp832]

The take off at 3:14 was insane. I had to slow down the playback speed for that one.

[@lxvejetty]

The water level looks like --____

[@wasabiginger6993]

😂 … the only time you guys have to swim in (from an old timer who always had to swim in). Loved this video … you are sooo crazy creative! Hope you do more. And loved the podcast you just did … where I added in the comments a potential suggestion to expand your biz with special editions, one of them entitled “Nate & Koa” … as I would like a classic NS mug with their names to greet me each morning with their wake up giggles plz

[@MensGroup]

Soooo good!

[@melvin6022]

Amazing!

[@garycork5808]

Incredible clip 🤙

[@samhack5711]

That's CRAZY power that first wave!!

[@matthewjohnson2070]

ivan is so criminally underrated

[@nickkuhl3426]

AMAAAZING footage! those slow-mos are so good!

[@maxmonterumisi]

Super ultra hard wave!!

[@matteoscarduaverona3431]

They need a wave like that on tour, that would be so sick

[@AtortAerials]

Below sea level sandbar north f'n shore fun! 👊🏾

[@thomaslewisburridge5863]

Looks so much fun🤙🏼

[@Chakirisan]

Incredible footage, great job guys.

[@MrGogogordo]

Ah yes, the original wave pool.😉🤙🤘

[@stevehix1656]

Another awesome video,the beginning was like something from a distant planet. You guy's make it look easy,but unfortunately it is not.

[@roseelliott2728]

This edit is insane and I’m here for it❤

[@Steve-wh2gd]

That's not a wave,it's a BEAST.

[@JudeReger]

Wow those waves are crazy

[@kennethsenstad3873]

Nice wave john

[@iblong9505]

I'd rather watch surfers tackling this than Pipe.
