Dude just took a 15fter on the dome and got right under it no problem, anyone else would’ve been blown off their board and sent scrambling. Only other person that seems to have THAT level of comfort in super heavy water is Kelly- and I ain’t trying to jock ride either of them, but that’s just the truth. Anyone that surfs knows the amount of stamina that must’ve taken to get out to the lineup on this day. If I somehow found myself out in that madness I would’ve been shitting my spring-suit and praying to Christ that my leash doesn’t snap and that Strider magically appears on a jetski to whisk me back to the sand 😂. JJF out there literally by himself and having a time like it’s 3-5ft Lowers. 😭

I just love the friendship and how these incredible surfers, including the best surfer in the world and of his generation, bar none, JJF, are talking about it like it was just another day at the office. The stamina of these phenomenal athletes cannot be understood till one gets on a surfboard and paddle out just 1/100 of what they were doing...Wow!

I actually was one of the 3 lucky ppl that was chilling in the sand right in front on john john on that day. The funny thing is, when they walked by us, my buddie said, look, its JJ, and he said, of it's a bummer there's more ppl with him, we won't be able to tell who's him on the water (as they were walking by further down the beach to paddle out from the channel. I was like bro, trust me, if there is one thing you will notice on the water , paddle out and duck diving is who JJ is from those guys... Insane how he makes it look easy...

LOL The music is perfect to show the tedious nature of trying to paddle out there. Paddle, paddle, duck dive, paddle.....walk of shame back to the beach. Great video and surfing as always.

I'm 100% sure I would drown within 30 seconds trying to paddle out there. Unreal how quickly John gets out and then somehow manages to find barrels in this slop. Amazing job getting out to the back and finding a few waves too, Koa! :)

I commend these dudes because it’s a lesson to people who don’t surf that surfing is 90 percent paddling and 10 percent riding a wave , most of the time ! For most of us at least .

Those conditions look ornery as hell! MAD respect for the stamina, skill and understanding of the ocean it takes to do that!

I got exhausted just watching you guys do the paddle out. It's like 15 minutes of non-stop paddling... I'd be done after just a couple of minutes, personally.

JJF thanks 4 inspiring the future generations, youre the best

JJF was in the beast mode!!! Stoked for Koa to get a few bombs!! What a treacherous paddle out!!! I wish Nathan was out there too! He's another beast!!!

Yeay! John speaks on camera kinda uncensored. That was neat! That paddle out is crazy, almost never ending look to it

Great perspective of gnarly surf and how it’s sucks to paddle out in sometimes. You guys were born legends and continue to be modern day warriors and all around genuine human beings. Especially Eli. You are an inspiration to a large amount of youth and older adults like myself. You speak from the heart and never bring negative energy. Koa you are the hardest charger like ever. And Jon everyone’s loves you even if they don’t know you they’re like oh yeah JJ F what an amazing human. Like myself. Hope to see you guys in in action one day on the NS. Stay fucking awesome gnarly bros

Such a much more realistic surf video than all the flashy surf vids we're used to seeing. Theres places in the UK/Ireland with huge long sandy bottoms that behave quite similarily..huge paddle outs....wave after wave....though they don't typically have a vicious monster waiting for you if you do make it!

Of course John gets barreled out in that hurricane 🌀🌊 🏄‍♂️ lol that was insane! Very entertaining! 😂 Well all things considering, got in a nice workout! 🤙

John John is on another level

JJF duck diving is unreal!! These are world class surfers, and Koa is the other who knew the assignment!

Man, that was a hypnotizing video. Kudos, to snowboarding those slabs!

John is a machine

Paddle out vids are the new meta and I'm here for it

Koa, jack thank you 😃🤙 thanks to the rest of the guys too. That was some paddle out,at least the scetchy foam on the north sore looks a bit better than the soup Nathan has been paddling out in,in Scotland dam that was scetchy lol

This is such a good video to learn things as a surfer. From the raw footage, you can see the reality of surfers and how to approach getting out the back. Mostly, you can't just get in there nilly willy and hope you will get lucky. It takes timing, microadjustments, and being sharp and have strong pushes from the start. Even if you are those things, only 2 made it through. Then the video goes on and shows how to approach if you didn't make it. You get out (don't stay in), and get a view again from the beach where the rips are, where to get inn recharge, and go again (there is zero shame in that, look at Ivan smiling like he is having fun even though he couldn't get through, amazing mindset to have, given what he just went through). These boys make it all look like natural, but there are so many things you can pick up in this video as a progressing surfer. If you can't get out the back just about anywhere, how do you expect to become a surfer ready for al types of adventures.

This was a badass idea for a video as it showcases just how amazing these athletes are. I am sure it looks about 20x worse being on the board trying to hammer through the break along with the occasional wave washing back out against the surf making it that much harder.

10:00…. Only John John. Amazing

My arms are so tired from watching that I can barely lift a beer. Studs, even the dudes that didn't quite make it!

Editing, or lack thereof, makes it feel like your watching a home video. So feels very intimate; like you’re hanging with your buddies. I’m new to the channel so we’ll see if that starts getting old. What I definitely like is I’m getting to see the true experience of a professional surfer. Like having real issues paddling out (I thought that only happened to me), fighting for waves, dealing with flat days, etc. Most surf videos simply show barrel after barrel after barrel. Which is cool, but not representative of the true experience. Confirms my experiences are normal for everyone.

I found this very interesting. It’s interesting to see where top of class is as we all face difficult paddles in surfing.

Koa I know from bertcast you don’t consider yourself up to John’s level but you looked smoove as butta out there. That looked so knarley, I’m used to seeing that kind of storm slop in NJ but not in Hawaii. Kudos, and I can’t wait for the podcast!

Palm fron’s killing it right now keep up the good work buds

I was impressed that any of them made it out.

I be agree that wave JJ duck dove was insane . Skills.

It is great seeing the crew wax up and chit-chat before heading into the soup.

What a great video , you and John all to yourself ! Funny it's still a contest . John makes it look way way too easy .

Even I have my limits....days like this ...I sit and watch...it takes every ounce of human strength to make it out on days like this...I'm to old now...that's for the complete athletes....just clean 6ft all day with light offshore...that's where it's at for me...hats off to you guys for making it out.. amazingly committed....I was there once...God bless you all...

Good warm up for pipe season boiz
