Small days on the North Shore – especially when YouTube fans demand consistent content – are about finding creative ways to pass the time until the next run of swell starts to show its face.
For the Florence brothers, the doldrums of a spell of small surf mean ample time for knife throwing. Much to the chagrin of their mom, Alex Florence.
As the Florence brothers attempt to nail up an improvised target to a fence post and later a pull-up bar, Mom John Florence can be seen and heard scolding the boys for their frivolity.
“Are you stupid?” she asks, concerned (and rightfully so) that a rogue nail left in the grass could do serious damage to somebody walking around barefoot.
The whole thing is a nice reminder that no matter how old you get, even if you’re a sponsored pro, perennial Pipe standout, and big wave charger, mom’s still gonna call you on your shit.
