JOHN JOHN TAKES OVER THE VLOG! BACKDOOR SHOOTOUT 

John John is such a funky dude and I love it so much, he always makes me laugh no matter what😂❤

@KoaRothman u nailed that sponsor bit about therapy. Came across sincere and not awkward. Not an easy thing to do. And of course the shootout episode of the vlog was a cool insight into the process, in the tower and hearing the judges talking and stuff is gold!

Probably one of my favorite livin videos, such a vibe.

I could watch this stuff daily! The Florence's, Eli, Koa such amazing humans! Also props to all the filmers! Thanks for shooting and producing the content!

Awesome vid as always! JJoa had me cracking up!

I'm going to check better help when I get a moment. Tanks cuz

Waking up dizzy days later is super gnarly. Take it easy man!

cool to see the behind the scenes of the judges and the tower enviroment! dope vlog hopefully next one youll be out there!

What a cool bunch of guys🤙🤙

That in memory of Koa stuff you can see it on Koas face and hear it in his voice he does not like it at all, Koa never let your best friends know what gets to you because they will never back off.

John is optimizing!

Please don’t push it Koa! It’s tough being dry and watching all your buds but it’s really important to let that stuff inside heal up too! Those are violent falls at Pipe and happen every session! Hell, even paddling out can scramble you good! I know you’re young, healthy, and anxious but please take care of the noggin! Go to town and ride some tourist waves and ease back in. Pipe will still be waiting for you!

I can say JJF had fun in the vlog lol

Is it jst me..or is koa out of a job..!! John was so funny..🤭 lol..nice all u bros hanging out n having a good time..Cannot wait to c bck out there Koa...✌️🇳🇿

One of the judges was literally wearing John’s merch.

Me gustan tus vídeos koa

Appreciate you guys sending me the hoodie for the giveaway! Legends 🤙🏼

Goodonya Koa! Your noggin took a big rattle.. give it time to reattach to brain.. all the best from Goldie Australia

good episode..that was cool

Great video Koa! Now go be Great!!

@koarothman . . . So help me out here. 'they don't wear jerseys so as not to steal the limelight from the surfer's sponsors . . . . ' (i love it . . . purest of motives), but . . . Why can't they just wear jerseys with no logos! (i.e. "plain ol' colored jerseys).? This would help the commentators and the judges from trying to guess "who dat?" Love your videos. Thanks for inviting us in to your dream scene on the North Shore (got a small taste of it at Dolly Latronic's house back in '85) . . . Keep 'em comin' braddah Koa !

Is that Barton? 🇦🇺

Hey north shore boys. The north Carolina boys might jus have the north shore boys beat. Pound for pound. Wave for wave. These Hatteras boys with their cold weather surfing are definitely challenging u north shore dreamers. U remember Koa getting pulled out to sea in Hatteras when it was 20+ft.

RIP Koa

👍👍👍

F'n Nate...whats with the wax dude?

8 oh is not a tank. A 10 10 is a tank

We got a glimpse! Fitting it's from Mama Florence. No Mama says stuff like "my other little son" without there being an unexplainable and genuine bond. Even landlocked dreamers like me can experience this kinda love. Heal well, kid, it's important. All the best and thank you!

Like this comment so my brothers can see it!

this was cool. ive never actually heard judges discuss the runs in real time like this. thanks koa!

Haha so funny how John was calling the boys out for the wax

Koa don’t push it bro, the brain is slow healing. I would take it nice and easy x everything happens for a reason, make the best of your down time to heal and get dialed in. Glad you’re okay, get in the hyperbaric chamber and get hooked up to some oxygen. Much love 💪🏼

Excellent video Koa, great behind the scenes action. The judges stand content was really informative. Lots of humour and great interaction with the fans! 👍👍

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping you find a helmet that works for you at Pipe because it's just a roll of the dice that you don't hit the reef again on your head. Multiple concussions, as we now know, can really mess up your life forever. Glad to see you're promoting online therapy. We all know about our physical condition, but for some reason dealing with our mental condition is fraught with fear of ostracism, humiliation, and repression. We need to end that way of thinking about mental health. Thank you for all you do!

JJ's yeti box set up is super cool! Great edit even though you didnt surf!

John Florence , "like and subscribe " hilarious !

Koa Florence’s stunt double with an orange box on a bike. Great video! Love it!

That last shot of John riding off on his bike was absolutely epic. It was moving somehow 💓. And I loved how proud he was of his totally prepared yeti -- missing a bar of wax 😂

That's the most relaxed I've ever seen John.

Bro it’s good to see a video drop. Glad you’re recovering man. Shoutout from Boston

Its just nice to see John happy with friends and family rather than on the WSL sh%t show.

Koa we live 20 minutes away!! Give us some surf lessons 😅

0.01 "I hit my head, now Japanese. I speak Japanese." Crack me up! Love you guys! RIP Koa!

Koach Koa-bra : Good choice on picking your stunt double & the 96712 Zippers. Well repped ! Mojo monsters. Team Koa Ohana is such a tight crew, the parts are now interchangeable. 💪

This must be the day 'koa', lands an air.😂... Nah, all good mate. Get better soon.

The moment with Koa and Alex ❤️

your a trooper. i met john an his mom on Bob Burnquist's ramp, he was super humble. hey you know Bob has had 47 fractures. keep that helmet on bro your an amazing surfer

We need more raw John clips, it’s a side we don’t see everyday.

Props to having better help as a sponsor 👏🏻👏🏻

Lol John is hilarious

Ask Mama Alex to write a book about her life, adventures and single parenthood journey. It would be so EPIC !!

John John…Doctor says…shoes and helmet 😎🙏..always… as accidents happen even close to home. Love you Brother

Rip Koa in memory 😂😂😂😂❤

John John so funny, but the bigger picture is really special, friends and their bonds.

Koa wear a freaking helmet. Did I miss something,did JJ, Nathan and Ivan convert to Amish with those Beard's?😂

John John is Koa's surf stunt double. wait was one of the Judge wearing John John flroence Marine X shirt?? can you say conflict of interest 😂

Ah Nate's mom was so sweet. We love all of the friends and family live and support. Wow. Your stitches healed so well. You had great doctors. I still have nasty scar from just 12 stitches on my leg. Glad you are ok and taking it slow. Dizziness is scary....they have PT for that.

I hate to point out the obvious, but that was Koa's best chance ever to win..LOL...

Nice to see the crew. Glad your healing up well koa. Shout out from SAN DIEGO CA.🤙

Great episode! In memory of Koa!

Real surfer be like: 2x World Champ, Eddie Aikau Champ, Voted Best Surfer by his colleagues, Olympian, the most expensive contract at some point, the most requested surfer to have a photo in ISA qualifications then you realize he's just a normal surfer after he b*tch about his wax 🤣

Hey KOA, I was thinking about coming out with my own vlog.. called" this ain't living". I'm just a tile guy trying to make a living, but was blessed to surf Rockies and a few of the north shore breaks back in 98..

Hi Koa, I would like see you wearing a helmet in your next surfing video. Life is good, bro. I wish you a quick recovery from your head injury. Be safe there! Mahalo Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Now its was a killer video get well soon Koa .Love seeing all your brotha s together!!!!

Dude the mental health note is great...however most of us are just grinding away at a job and when we log on its seriously different to see you guys paddling out to PIPE as your job. I am depressed thinking it should be me...any way-that's life isn't it?

Nate has invited me to chill at the Florence compound if I come to Hawaii, I don’t actually surf will get some lessons from another of my pretend friends job, I also have full access to the volcom house

John John taking over is legendary. 😀

Glad you’re still livin, after living through traumatic situations you get a new perspective on life,gratefulness for the simple things.

John takin the piss: “Don’t forget to like and subscribe” 😂

Eli going be bolo head soon....more better he just shave em already...🤙🤙

Can't avoid commenting that the rules are really stupid!

Notice the torsos of these guys...lung capacity is massive.

jon jon funny editing super bad too tight needs more context longer clips yo

If John John really wants to be Koa, he can't have wax lol I saw somewhere where the question was - Where do the best surfers on earth come from? And someone wrote, Alex Florence. #truerwords I hope you are feeling better Koa. Thanks Jack!

was that Barton Lynch in the judging tower?

Happens to me all the time in contests. I surf like Gerry Lopez lol

Good to meet you today koa when you were parking next to the alley to walk down to pipe.

Johns Koa impression so bad lol. I liked the in memory of joke tho

The real question is… what kind of wax does John use?

What type of electric bike is John using at the end?

LOVE BARTON!!!! YEAH

eh, no covah da scabs, show 'em! Koa got Pipe face

Shawn Briley should be The Judge

How does John get the yeti box to clip into his bike? I need that

Laughed out loud at the 'Nate, you ride an 8.0' hahaha

Nate stop snacking John's wax!

Will the real Koa please step up. John is funny.

K just chilling for now😎 🤙...

“Hi I’m John”…

John John pretty funny . His impersonation of koa was way off but hysterical

WSL WOULD NEVER LET U FILM DA JUDGES

JJs box chat at the end was my fav

The boys are literally back!

Are fin chops common at pipe?

Propper judges ❤ happy days

Such a great episode!

Glad you’re doing good bro!!

get that dizzyness sorted🙃

Don’t take john’s wax!

get a Helment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
