Dad, Founder of Florence Marine X, and YETI ambassador John John
Florence drops in on The Lineup to celebrate the 200th episode of
the podcast! Dave and John also dive into his mind-blowing
performances this year that has led him to the current World No. 1
position on the rankings heading into Fiji and locking his seat at
the Lexus WSL Finals at Lower Trestles for a chance at a third
World Title. He talks about his mindset entering 2024 and the ups
and downs of the competitive surfing life. He reflects on how he
went from not being too sure if he was going to compete this year
and having “one foot in, one foot out” the past few years to being
fully committed heading into 2024. He explains how he is investing
in himself, giving surfing the respect he feels it deserves as a
competitor, and traveling with his crew to ensure he’s giving it
his very best. He talks about representing the USA in Tahiti this
year and his mindset going into Teahupo’o. He illustrates his life
as a father and how that affected his headspace in competition. He
opens up about the importance of support, being the best version of
himself for his son, and his family being the most important thing
in his life. He discusses bringing his brothers into the family
business of Florence Marine X, working with brands like YETI and
with long-time shaper Jon Pyzel, before wrapping up the pod with
Instagram questions and a second run at the Lightning Round. Learn
