I'm 62 yrs old. When I grow up I want to be just like JJF

[harrysybrand]

this is truely eye opening. Instead of constantly hearing the "complaints" of us human destroying planet earth, now seeing how the planet would look like and how the ecosystem would work when we wouldn't interfere the circle of life. Absolutely amazing, 13 minutes is way to short but it opened my eyes that we are on one hell of a mission.

[estrelladelmar]

The earth, and everything on it is part of one giant living organism. We are all one.

One has to respect a surfer/human of the caliber of J.J.Florence on so many levels! Well done J.J.!

3:24 "until we can love ourselves we'll have a really hard time taking care of anyone or anything else, and that's been a powerful lesson from nature for me. Spending time in nature is where I really got to know myself, my limits and also what I am capable of. When I see a system that's in balance like this [...] that is just amazing, but we are not gonna see that everywhere until we can kind of come to grips with who we are".

I needed this. I live on Maui where it's getting rarer and rarer to see living coral, sharks, Mantas encouraging to know it doesn't have to take decades to bring our ecosystems back to par. Mahalo.

Damn, John, you and your team just keep producing these epic masterpieces and raising the bar.

[sprecklesville]

Amazing bit of film - reminds me of Diego Garcia, a coral atoll in the Indian Ocean which I was lucky enough to visit some years back. What hits you is just how incredibly vibrant and diverse nature can be when its not impacted by man.

[allthingswavy]

I love that the connection between our self-view (self love) and ecosystem balance is clearly identified.

[Jack-xqow]

Keep it up John. The hard work isn’t going unnoticed 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Rad that you dropped this on earth day! Great short series

[stephengent]

This series should have been a full fledge documentary. Absolutely stunning!

[maggiehogland]

Thank you for the beautiful 50th birthday gift to Earth Day and how you young men are showing the world how to care about and for our Mother Earth. Your Mom’s heart must just burst watching you become such amazing men. As an auntie, I know mine does

I'm here because of flight sim. I found myself without fuel in the middle of the ocean and needed a place to land. Thank you for sharing this content to give me, and others a better idea of this little island in the middle of no where <3

These are beyond just a surf movie. They are a beautiful tribute to nature and friendship.

Aloha - from deep city life in NYC.
