Under the Radar North Shore Super Session with John John Florence

- I’ve been compiling timelines like this forever and doing nothing with them, besides maybe sharing with a few surfers who were out that day. I promise not to spam you with 3-foot Cardiff clips on the regular, but instead of hoarding the footage on Dropbox for eternity, I think it makes sense to put out some memorable sessions to the world, so people can enjoy.
This was shot on January 5th, 2022 during the (digital) Vans Triple Crown of Surfing waiting period. It went largely under the radar, but was easily one of the best non-barreling sessions of surfing I’ve ever witnessed.
At the time, I thought for sure Parallel Sea would be using it. I sent over the timeline to John and Erik Knutson later that evening in case they wanted to have an extra angle. Two years later, I don’t recall seeing more than maybe a few clips here or there.
This footage is in chronological order, no editing aside from cutting out a few waves that weren’t worthy. There were a few times I had to hold my composure after John did a carve, but seriously, inside I was freaking out watching this go down.
What I like most about this style of video is showing perspective. For how many world class surfers were out, there is one obvious standout. I think that has been somewhat lost in the recent times outside of live competition. The surfers who are best at selecting and putting their clips out on social media get the maximum notoriety, but if you watch a session like this in person, the tape doesn’t lie. John is absolutely unreal.

JJ's surfing is an art. So beautiful to watch. Everyone literally scored during this session.
That first wider angle shot was the perfect blend of seeing detail, but also getting to see the wider dynamics. Give this a thumbs up if you guy would also like to see more of THAT!
I always try to incorporate some pulled back shots. Glad you like those
This and the La Jolla video are some of my favorite surf content on youtube. Love the raw version with background commentary. Makes you feel as if you're sitting there watching the session go down yourself. This is what the people want!
Stoked on that. Thank you Trent
Love watching raw clips. Feels like you’re there. Nate and Jack sending it with incredible lines too.
No one in the world surfs like John John . He is just mesmerizing to watch, the precision, the speed and grace all in one.
Correct
Totally agree, especially in this type of waves, when they are big and fat he is the man. That's why he rock's it in Margaret River
Totally agree, even Slater in his prime just didn't have that natural flow and grace. Don't get me wrong Slater surfs a very radical way, but John has always just had that style and flow that makes him a one of a kind
@@mattgurin6168 Tom Curren also, bu agree that John has the grace or Jerry Lopez mixed with modern precision
D riding
Just excellent. And I liked the context you provide. Thank you.
I watched Rockpiles break back in the early 1970's.
I could see fantastic waves but never braved the go out.
This was before leashes and those rocks inside would destroy a board.
Also was before Duck Diving and you can see the clean up sets in this video.
We had 1 board for the winter, so this break was too hairy to paddle out for us.
Raw, hard, powerful, fast, tight, in the pocket, on rail, long, and perfect turns from John and Nathan Florence.
Sick Jimmy more of this!
Congratulations. Excellent video, perfect angles, good surfing and surfers. Young Goofy was having fun.
Both his overall water knowledge and intimate wave knowledge are superlative, he's fluent macro and micro. There have been contests where he grabbed an impromptu barrel in a spot no one else could possibly have and didn't get rewarded for it simply because it was off their scale.
Nobody messing around with experimental boards when the waves are pumping like that. Total ripping!
You really appreciate how much more ahead of the pack john is when you see the other surfers surfing the same wave.
No one comes close, he surfs big waves lime they are two foot
John and Robbo showing why theyre at the top
Nate turnin'like John, siiiick.
no one's turns are as esthetically pleasing as his
Love JJs nod to the Mickey Feb kick
It's awesome to see the boys scoring some sick ones without the 150 crew at the pipeline circus
What a session
Harry Bryant goin ham on the lefts
Did you ask Zeke if it was cool to film this wave?
I waited two years just to make sure, and no landmarks 😂
@@jimmicaneso are you and Zeke cool now or what?
JJ so precise in the pocket
Best surfer in the world. Yeah I said it.
6:20 That turn was absolutely F*cked.
JJ off da lip and huge roundhouse cutbacks………no one does at big as he does imo🏄
I want to see JJ and Jack go at it at big Pipe
This better not be the super secret local only spot in San Diego I’ll get the boys to get you
pumping.....
Harry going full Tom Carrol out there. ❤🏴☠🤙🏼
3:46 is.....
Too many landmarks, those plants are easily recognizable
This and the *san diego* video are my favorite pieces of surf media to come out in the last few years. The chonological order, the raw clips, the great composure, the real time background noise, the shop talk behind the camera, your reactions to things. The wide angle shot, no slo mo, no tight crops. Its fucking awesome. It really feels like I'm standing there with you.
Come hang out sometime! That’s the best part. Thanks so much
Ya except no one that surf La Jolla needed him to call that out. Be discreet for once man. People appreciate it.
Nicely done. Top level ripping in chunky conditions.
@@AdventureWithGravesi dont understand the hate. The wave is on the side of the road. La jolla isnt exactly a secret locale. If people who shouldnt paddle out went out anyway cause they saw the video, thats on them not Jimmy
precisely ! some guys think they’re just too cool, & that’s exactly what we got here, which is the way he wants it! Up his uptight ass… well… HE GETS IT!
NATE surfer of the year...
Don't watch without giving sub. Sick footage
Nate ripping those carves
Happy to find your channel. Great footage! I really like the back story, it adds more value to the content. Keep up the good work🤙Looking forward to what's to come.
Having Jack look like a civilian out there makes you appreciate how gnarly JJF actually is.
That’s what I’m trying to show! But also that is John’s backyard. Jack at Box flips the script
@@jimmicane Mission accomplished 🙌
looks like Pupukea with a half washed out sandbar.
Or even worse, rockpiles.
Nice! Was this at Logs or Haleiwa?
Soooo fast JJ surfs 😲....undisputed speed generator & reads the wave like no other 🙌🏽 mesmerising
I often get bored watching surf clips, this one was peaceful and simple, loved it
Love this type of content. Would love to see more!!
Can't see. Crappy filming
not bad , hawaii looks nice
0:35. Imagine, you're surfing a beautiful left, having the time of your life. Then all of a sudden a pink guy emerges from deep within the whitewash and grabs you, drags you back to his watery flamingo dimension. Terrifying stuff.
😂 I still don’t understand what happened there
Margs training
Where is this ?
6:09
11:26
Is the water kinda dark looking this day because of runoff after a storm?
I can’t remember exactly but it tends to change a lot out there. Seen it electric blue and also dark brown. River runoff right in front of
Was that Harry Bryant blazing those left's?
DK ain’t dead
Awesome footage. What spot was this filmed at?
Rock piles !
Chambers? 🤔💪🤙
rockpile
Why do you have to call out spot names and everytime you film somewhere? Jimmy get with the times and don’t be a whistle blower. Have some respect for the sport that has made you money.
Clearly Zekes biggest fanboy, you troll just like him mate!
Get a grip, this is a well known break with a handful of the worlds best out coz that’s who can think about surfing there that day, exactly the same as la Jolla clips
