I'm an old bloke and I live 300 miles from the waves in the UK (Good waves) and I gave up everything in my 20's and moved to Cornwall for 2 consecutive summers in 86 and 87 living in a tent from May through to Oct and met a bunch of locals who I hung out with over that time. Those blokes back then were just like these blokes and I'm still friends with them now, but they're all spread out all over the world now and most of them still doing it in their late 50's and 60's. I follow Koa's and Nathan's vlogs, they remind me of those people and those times - such a great vibe around surfing crews and I'd imagine that applies all around the world.
This is so funny to see them. They were little boys and now they’re such big influencers in the surf UA-cam community. Oh my goodness thank you that is absolutely fabulous.
Ivan’s like,,,less talky, more surfy or skatey pls. Here’s to hoping they can all be good friend for a very long time to come. Watching them on utube they seem to be doing well 7 yrs later!
Such cool!!! I've been watching this guys vlogging since covid pandemic, in 2020... Interesting to see them all together in 2014! The vibe was the same!
This is amazing. They raise them right on the north shore. Geez. If I ever was going to have a child it would be in this location to give them a chance at living this type of life. I grew up in Massachusetts and spent my summers on the north fork of Long Island. Situations change and the house in Long Island is no longer in the family. I can’t express what it feels like. It’s like your soul is ripped in half and you are left there to try to stitch it back together. The water is that important to life. Water is life
@@mikebranch7928 lol I’m not really going to move to the north shore. I was just talking about the Florence brothers and how the community took them in and raised them and how they turned out. There’s a real great community there and also some shit Heads obviously. But I’m going to move some place near the water where no one lives. That’s my only option. I’ll just have to find some cold water with good waves in a lonely place. I like space and don’t like a lot of people so ya the north shore would be hell
I love John and Nate, but Ivan's gotta be my favorite Florence brother. The youngest, always quiet and humble, but still charges as hard as anyone else, massively underrated talent!
is nice to see that kind of friendship--a rare thing in our world. am glad they support each other because there is so much bullshit out there, especially on the WSL tour.
Nice to see all these guys are all still surf buddies. I like following your videos. Friends for life! Mahalo! I wish you all the happiness & good fortune in all you do. Be safe. Be well. 🤙🏽💦💃🏻
Wow! It’s been 4-yrs. since I made this comment. This video is a treasure to be cherished. NORTH SHORE SQUAD! Happy 30th Birthday Koa Rothman! This is Livin’ 🥖🤙🏽🌊💃🏻
I remember all these Groms when I was growing up and making day visits to the North Shore from Sandy Beach. Watching Kelly at 16 as well when you live breath surfing or any water sport in general you got one of the best melting pots to grow up in. They all have their own unique styles. Even Jamie Obrien has his own style, I guess it's all those days out at Ehukai sand bar that will do it. Over the falls for fun or getting big close out barrels. Funny no one really talks about Ehukai anymore but that's the training ground until you finally hit Pipe and Backdoor.
That’s how they normally talk. Notice the difference between the Rothmans, the false bullshit accent is by Makua because he’s insecure about his heritage and exaggerates it
Ahh! They'll never surf past juniors,a buncha wannabees! Then again" I thought Mexicans, wouldn't ever come to California either, ha ha haa, these guys" All Destined! "
+Bryan O'Connor Let me rectify myself : JJ rips like no other , the thing is that he doesn`t like the tour very much . If was up to him he would stay in Hawaii and would just compete in Fiji , Tahiti and maybe Australia. Now he has to cause Hurley his sponsor wants him doing . Saying that cause he told my brother. My brother goes to Hawaii every winter and stay at Joaos house Kiron dad. They all friends . That aside , Waimeia never appeal to me.
who knew they would grow up to become such legends
John “ I don’t work out I just surf all day” - That’s why you are 3x world champ in 2024

whats their @?
It's just Nathan Florence on UA-cam. His brother John is 3x world champion now and has bee in the last 2 Olympics
@@Strokes1983thanks for sharing their life story🎉
Best thing about these guys is their attitudes in the water
Much more positive vibes than some other packs of gangs of North Shore.
Alot of Uncles that teach respect never had an issue ever on the North Shore being 6 foot 5 never hurts too :O)

couldnt have said it any better
North shore isn’t a good place to get raised right. Better off in Long Island

You got that right the sleeper :O)
Style master Ivan.
Ivan makes big, gnarly conditions look easy.
His skating is sick too
He is pro at skate too actually, for vans, I guess hes king , or his specialty is bowls… dunno but hes really talented on both

legends then, legends now
Very impressive young men, love that they are such good friends and have such a good time together. Aloha

So cool to see this! I bet these guys forgot about this!!!! All still close!
Grew up on an island in the Caribbean, and I can totally relate to this.
Looks just like the rat pack I used to hang out with at the same age.
😅
I always thought John John was the little bro of Nathan? My mind is blown!

These cat’s now are running the show.
What a life! Enjoy it boys.
ivan is just a chill guy😂
That was great to see, Thank you.
a great couple of dudes
North Shore Killers.. much love Boys....
Max respect to the parents of Eli/Nathan/Koa/Ivan/etc. Biiiig respect for growing all these boys so strong and beautiful!!! No? Wouldn't you agree?
i dont think ivan has said a work since this was filmed
I can't help but still see John John as the the lil baby from endless summer 2
Love how the answer is always John 🤣
Ivan is too chill.
Amazing talents!
Ivan's like John Deacon in the old Queen interviews😂😂😂
They are all around 30 today!
Ivan nevah says nuthin🙌🏽💯
Damn, North Shore boys is where they make em ah. lol nah, would be cool to see me out dea surfing!
Sik crew,we ride the same baja sur.God bless you guys. I got barrelitus 2 haha
All Legends
This is gold :D
yep, that is the crew.
The best surfers of the world 👍👍👍
Watching this in 2021 like 🤯
Yup, that’s a crazy crew of surfers
This aged well, now they all champs
solid crew
Was the guy in the middle at the right house.
thats jon and nates brother
They’re also the You Tube crew🤟
Classic !!
Bruh I thought Ivan was the oldest and John was the youngest. Blew my mind
Momentum Generation Version 2
what did they eat? I want too
babes.
why ivan dont say a word?
he was stoned
Ahahahahah I was about to say that
ivan is the coolest guy ever
So quiet & cute
Are you a younger sibling? I think if you grow up with guys like John and Nate as older brothers you just have to shut up
So Kiron and Ivan is the only one that doesn't have presence in UA-cam these days huh
Ivan appears on John John and Nathan's channels, just doesn't have his own channel
I'm partial to John-John.
Yes he has potential
Pipe masters
Nate was so quiet😂
NOT anymore! 😂
how could you surf for 8 hours??? wouldnt your arms kill?
mr loose nop
its aerobic excercise once u develop a strong paddle. like walking.
That's why he's the best.
the most out of SHAPE?... me haha all quiet
Haha haha look how young all da boys are
It's funny all these boys are raised on Oahu but talk like they're from SoCal.
Its for the camera. IF they went full on pidgin language you'd have no idea what their taking about
Wrong, I grew up on the Big Island.
That’s how they normally talk. Notice the difference between the Rothmans, the false bullshit accent is by Makua because he’s insecure about his heritage and exaggerates it
Gavin Alexander Makua is just local, I feel like pidgin is a local thing, Hawaiians usually speak Hawaiian lmaooo
Yeah brahh
Ivan still no talking
hahahha
Jamie O’Brien ?
he's too old
Koa’s nickname gotta be el chapo or something lol
Lmao thats Eddie rothman
#koaRothman
Ivan doesn’t say a word
I know koa rothman and my dad met john john
One of em became the best surfer in his generation. Bet it’s a little awkward lol
Nah they’re all still close friends except kieron
@@hello-zh3jrthey are all still best mates with Kieron
Remember never to grow- up! It's kinda crappy but we all deal with it.
You guys have zero idea how lucky u are. Hawaii was ruined for u
babies faces
Too bad Hawaii has been destroyed for greed
Ahh! They'll never surf past juniors,a buncha wannabees! Then again" I thought Mexicans, wouldn't ever come to California either, ha ha haa, these guys" All Destined! "
I pray they all come to Jesus one day.
Also JJ is way over rated......nice kid for sure.. but sshould quit competitive surf . He is not cut up for it.
+markriobr clown
+markriobr lol just crushed the eddie.....
+Bryan O'Connor Big F deal
+markriobr nah you're right. winning the eddie's for losers.
