2x World Champion, current World No. 1, Tahiti-bound for USA, new 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.
