First they love you, then they hate you: World title secrets with Mick Fanning and John Florence.

- After two decades in the game, there are a few commonalities you can always rely on when dealing with a-grade talent: the first is that you need to be prepared to do plenty of waiting.
Once a time and day were set for the interview, both surfers committed to a firm time date: 8am Tuesday in Australia and 12pm, in Hawaii.
It was 7.53am and my laptop wouldn’t kick over. Frozen. A few resets and it whirred to life. It was 7.57am when I finally tuned into Zoom. There, both Mick and John were in full swing. I’m not sure what was more disarming, that these guys were so punctual or the fact that they’d already dived into the joys of cycling, and the fact that John needs to embrace lycra because it’s a “game-changer.”
The goal of this call was simple: two see what can be distilled when two surfing world champs riff about life at the top. This is our second iteration of the series. We had some feedback from the first episode with Ronnie Blakey and it was that we lacked a clear explanation of what was actually going on.
Just to be clear, my role in this is a co-host who plays moderator. When you have two world-class talents going at it, the last thing you need is a third gypsy swinging in with their opinion. However, left alone, two pro surfers could spend 60 minutes wandering aimlessly around subjects like injury rehab or their favourite surgeons in the world. Which, is to not discount those subjects specifically but they can get kinda dreary. My role is to shepherd and push the conversation away from the instinctual and well-worn cliches.
From the first question, Mick was a lot more comfortable with playing host and firing questions. John, who is usually more guarded was loosened up and ready to learn from Mick.
It was a fun exchange. We never expected to hear so much about Gabe Medina, nor had any idea that the emotionless John was a learned skill and that surfing Pipeline is easier with an injury than Snapper.
I think Mick should and could be a phenomenal commentator in the surf world. I could see him doing such a great job hosting or cohosting a post surf event.
Agreed! He asked some very thoughtful questions
Please Stab, let us watch the last Stab in the Drak, let it free on UA-cam.
Best surfing interview I've ever witnessed.
Stoicism plus a chilled voice creates the illusion of nonchalance..
Both these guys are World Champions
They both are Extremely Competitive. You don’t get to be a Champion without competitive drive .
JJF and Mick Fanning are my favorites surfer in the WSL nothing else. I hope we can surf together in Siargao Island, Philippines.
Thanks Stab for putting this together and sharing. Both John and Mick are classic guys and could listen to them for hours. And for the record boys, I have 3 knee surgeries to date and still surfing. Yew!!!
This was entertaining.
Can we get a vid on Mick Fanning what he does on an average day, or when he's not surfing re workouts, entertainment, food he eats, cheat day etc.
Similar to the vid Filipe Tols just put out.
That would be sick, thanks.
while youre at it, can you reschedule the covid-19 too. thaaanks
caught Mick ordering a burrito at Zambrero's in Tugun, Gold Coast. If you're interested in his diet...
Two of the most genuine good blokes you can find
From a guy whose surfed since he was 17 and is now 67 . So entertaining to listen to, BRING IT ON GUYS
Both phenoms. Mick, so humble. One of smoothest styles out there, right after Jon Jon - idk, maybe even smoother. Watching JJ charge at the Eddie was sick - scared me just to watch. And 2 of the best rail surfers out there. Both learned a thing or 2 from Curren for sure.
Genuine well spoken conversations, both humble and willing to listen! More of these maybe with free surfer prospective?
this deserves way more views, two absolute lords
Second time and watched this all the way through both times. Haaaahhh! I really enjoyed...
Love these two guys !!! They are being competitive right now
Thanks Stab for showing REAL content for everyone! That was great
Legends!!! Huge fan of both you. Humble and good people. Mahalo!!
Mick is the best. Always great to listen to.
omg a video starring my two favorite surfers, love it
Pro surfers some of the most underappreciated athletes on the planet. Skill level out of this world. They are living the dream.
Mick subtly shading Kelly is thoroughly entertaining
hahahaha how good was that! very satisfying
Amazing conversation! Incredible insightful and so much useful information that can be applied in general too, not just with surfing. More of this!
Two legendary surf representatives! Great convo!
Love these Stab, great content!
Nailed this clip legends. More of this please.
Mick is a legend. The tour deeply misses him.
That was so good! Great questions and very honest quality answers. Love both these guys. Go John John! Next one for the win! 🏆 (also love John John's sailing footage)
Love the obvious mad respect they both have for each other so good
This is a gem
Solid, nice work Sam.
Great chat!Great insights!Thanks guys.
great stuff...that was excellent. Thanks Stab!
celestial navigation is a must John John. You never depend on electronics to know where you are :) serious conversation both of you . thank you
I talked a younger surfer out of a sailing trip yesterday, simply death waiting to happen. The "captain" had no itinerary and no real deep sea experience, definitely not a navigator, thought they could wing it to Tahiti from New England during a pandemic that has most all ports from here to the tip of Patagonia closed to outsiders. Having deep sea fished ,I've rarely been so concerned for a person, thankfully he isnt going.
This is fantastic!
Interesting and entertaining - thanks all!
Amazing contact" John is Best Surfer Truht love Hawaiian, Alhoa Men !!
Love these cerebral, inspiration surfers
This was seriously so funny. Great interview!
Loved it, please do more!!
any up and comers would do well to listen and take onboard what these 2 Legends discuss, great stuff !!
I LOVE BEING A SURFER!!!🥳

JJ is so joining Rip Curl...
J. Francisco Frances if he does the rip curl team would be by far the best in the world

Mick, mason, John and Nathan on a boat. Could be the best surf film of all time
Haha fools! After hearing all of their secrets, I will be on tour next year for sure!
McIntosh be twiddling his thumbs haha
I love mick
26:34 😂what a question!
For the record I'm always going for JJF
Those headphones from JJF look sick
the wsl is going with a new format . a finals playoff event after the year to determine the world champion.
you both had injuries mick and john.
how would you guys feel... with the new wsl format..... if you were ahead by a mile after the year..... but got injured just before the finals playoff event.... how would you guys feel...????
Did I just hear Mick imply Slater is being flogged out there? 16:45
Yeah.
Like that Backdoor wave he rode at Pipe last year
Who should Mick interview next?
Stab Magazine Dane Reynolds
Dean Morrison! pretty please.
Kelly slater! 😅
Mason would b quality
Chris Ward
john john is cute....❣️
the first question about asymmetric boards its so stupid... please good questions
Welcome to the search John.... ???
What's the deal with green boards?
Whats the intro/outro song?
The headphones tell you everything. Mic old school wired JJF new school wireless Sennheiser Momentum
im not native and i have a really hard time to understand what they say jajajajaj idk if its the quality of the audio or the way they talk
doing
Pathetic "the asterisk" only for John
I'm conflicted with Mick because he's the best rail surfer of all-time BUT he's an average tube rider AND has ZERO air game, yet; he has a won multiple world titles -- or should I say handed multiple world titles?! The judges would give Mick 9's for 2 safe turns when other surfers were landing much harder and riskier maneuvers but only getting 8's. The judging criteria never made sense. Can't blame Mick for repeating safe roundhouse carves if the judges are going to throw 9's at it. Unfortunately for me, it ruined competitive surfing as a whole. I stopped watching it and it's helped my sanity LOL. I think MOST fans just want honest and common sense scoring. We don't need our favorite surfers to win. It wasn't Mick people were hating... it was the scoring system the people hated and Mick was being used as the example. They were over-scoring Mick for much of his three world title runs. Mick is confusing that with hate when fans were just stating the obvious. I think MOST of us know Mick is a GREAT person and know he is a GREAT surfer. But WE also know he was extremely over-scored and fans were just pointing out the facts. Sorry Mick! Not your fault. It's the WSL's fault for sucking!
lol average tube rider, r u serious kook
@@1Nate987 Love it when kooks don't even know their kooks like yourself. Comparing him to the WSL field he was on tour with... yes, kook! The following are all arguably better than Mick at barrel riding: Kelly, Taj, Parko, Hobgood's, John John, & Julian. There are 30 people on tour, therefore, that puts Mick closer to the middle of the pack at tube riding. At rail surfing he was #1. At airs he was last or at least tied at last with Knox. Those were the two guys who could never do an air. So please STOP acting like you're not a kook when it's obvious you are a kook!
How gay the sports reporter have to be to ask demeaning questions about a ct champ?
