The first Florence Marine X clip is a simple little number: 26 waves, all caught along the Logs to Rocky Point stretch, backed by a dead ahead guitar/bass/drums score.
You don't need a bunch of people flying around the world for a year to different spots to know that he's the best surfer on the planet. Always a joy to watch.

Nothing, I want nothing more. That was sick
manic- mat -riderWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 10:20am
So good .
BlowinWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 11:05am
Holy shit. So inspirational.
Surfing wouldn’t be the same without spray from turns.
Surfalot67Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 11:15am
Best on ground. Always.
GowsaWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 11:17am
Good to see Cat Weasel is still rocking the Bum-Fluff
Bet he has a great Banjo collection

....1m groms about to order new boards right now with a black base and deep deep red deck....
stunetWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 1:01pm
Just putting it out there: I already had that colourway.
Not copying.
lostWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 4:58pm
Ha ha it does look good. Hope you can do better on the goatie/beard front. That fluff could be plucked in about 2 mins.
PopsWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 11:36am
Wow.
CraigWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 11:55am
57s, that full powered carve to fin slide and steezy grab rail, drool!
freeride76Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 12:15pm
the speed and projection out of those bottom turns, is nutz
tigerWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 12:54pm
I think his knee is ok!
memlasurfWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 1:00pm
Yep all of the above. That is some rail surfing that guy can do the lot superfreak.
Island BayWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 1:00pm
Some magic there, alright.
(Still partial to that other bloke's surfing.)
jasper99Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 2:09pm
Well that just destroyed most other clips released this year.....
freeride76Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 2:29pm
is that the best small/medium wave surfing ever?
I'm struggling to think of anything that matches it.
PopsWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 2:35pm
Dunno how you could objectively judge best, different strokes etc, but it's surely right up there.
Just the shear speed he's generating blew me away, let alone the explosiveness and rail work. It's as if he's doing step offs.
BlowinWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 2:41pm
I reckon it is.
Some blokes might want more airs in their diet but for mine that’s as good as surfing gets .
HiccupsWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 3:21pm
Farrrk. That one BS reverse where he travelled a lloonngg way made up for 20 of most airs.
KcWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 3:40pm
Maybe Dane in Japan in Dear Suburbia comes close
tangoThursday, 29 Oct 2020 at 10:15pm
yep. mental. and he's got style. even better than GOAT.
ballbagmanifestoFriday, 30 Oct 2020 at 5:09pm
Still Dane.
JonoWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 2:42pm
Great surfing. And with the small Hawaiian waves and soundtrack, it was almost like JJF had jumped in the DeLorean and starred in his own Momentum section.
bluediamondFriday, 30 Oct 2020 at 10:40pm
haha, Was thinking the same. Felt like a grommet again!! Absolutely shredding JJF.
surfstarvedWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 3:16pm
26 waves? That's more than I've caught in the last six months!
Interesting that he released the clip just after Medina's one came out (or is that just the order they were posted here?). Maybe learned a trick or two from KS...
freeride76Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 3:40pm
Yeah Dane was the only I could think of who is close.
Good call on Dear Suburbia
ballbagmanifestoFriday, 30 Oct 2020 at 5:23pm
The Hawaiian power at 4-6 foot really helps JJF here in comparison, but its still got to be Dane by some margin. - Sorry to tag you twice with this Dane rebuttal/worship, but since you're here, he'll probably have a hand in developing the vaccine too ( not as one of the main guys, that's unrealistic, but in an administrative capacity, mos def)
velocityjohnnoWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 3:56pm
Stu posted some vintage Occy recently (on bigger waves) that had an equally good aesthetic
But yeah, the carves and how he can tuck under into the barrel from anywhere.
Michael BourneWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 4:07pm
These too can do it too.
Island BayWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 4:16pm
Total wave savant.
I can think of no other surfer that becomes one with the wave like he does.
Michael BourneWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 4:24pm
freeride76Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 4:33pm
good calls MB.
BlowinWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 5:32pm
Ry rips harder than I would in ten lifetimes of trying but he isn’t in the same conversation as JJF.
And despite Marzo’s nearly unparalleled tube riding , wave intuition and inimitable approach he doesn’t remotely compare to the rail work displayed by JJF .
Each to their own . But personally, whilst I’ve been left slack jawed by Marzo’s skill many times I’ve never been inspired to surf like I was when I watched this clip of John John.
Island BayWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 6:46pm
If I could please have Margo's huge rail turns and Medina's tube steeze that would do it. (Is 2020 the Margo comeback year? All of a sudden he's everywhere, and Im more than happy with that).
Storms have cleared. It’s 2 foot and weak as piss but I’m going surfing.
velocityjohnnoWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 7:27pm
Clay Marzo just falling into those left tubes, incredible style and ability.
freeride76Wednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 7:42pm
one of my fav Marzo clips.
just toying with this 8ft Indo Right.
velocityjohnnoWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 9:38pm
this was quite beautiful, very creative & only a few weeks old:
Michael BourneWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 8:28pm
Yeh, insane understanding of the whole thing. Love how he and Craike know how to stand in the maelstrom and soak it up. Like Irons, Slats and Reynolds said, Marzo... next level untouchable.
inziderWednesday, 28 Oct 2020 at 8:55pm
Next level shredding
Johan WohllebenThursday, 29 Oct 2020 at 12:35am
Whaaat the? Amazing surfing-how does he generate so much speed with pivot bottom turns??? And all the other styling and airs?? Woohooo!!
crgThursday, 29 Oct 2020 at 11:25am
Faark me...those gaffs about the 1:00 and 2:00 min mark are incredible.
His boards look a lot faster and free in the tail.
theolderIgetthe...Thursday, 29 Oct 2020 at 11:47am
yep - the one at 2 minutes was the one for me..
reminiscent of a full Luke Egan demolition turn...
ringmasterThursday, 29 Oct 2020 at 11:53am
That Marzo clip in 'perfect W.A lefts'.
FUGGEN HELL!
Absolute next level tube riding to just about anyone.

Michael BourneFriday, 30 Oct 2020 at 6:58pm
After a Marzo/Craike fest, I watched JJF. I can see what he's adding to his surfing. Vintage, matured, extra sharp Marzo/Craike.
These two of Marzo, first next level surfing on some rocks, next levelling some shitty stuff, and then taking that attitude to the grunt. Then, in the next vid, absolutely gutless US crud, making that crud something (the something that's obviously got into JJF's head), out of absolutely nothing. But, just add a little bit, a tiny sceric of juice to that slop, and sparks fly. They, the big guns, all noticed him, they had to, they couldn't just use the old look away and miss it, and because, as they said, untouchable next level. Its inside JJf's head too.
Again, years ago. Craike takes to some sludge. His grunt surfing is without question. Just hook inside him and start absolutley carving if you want to. But this vid is crappy sludge. Around the 1.09 min. Slow it down for another look as well. Quarter speed. The back foot boogie man, a real one, rare these days. You can't miss it. Again, making something out of a crumbling crud heap, a coiled, sunset bottom turn, and then lets it all loose. Spray lands in JJF's head. Then the last segment. Look and learn. Looks a hell of a lot like JJF is these days.
Comments
power, flair, creativity, repertoire.
and he's rocking a hooded rashie.
10.
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!
