John John Florence has won two world titles and just clinched first place in the Vans Pipe Masters.
He’s an avid cyclist, sailor, beekeeper, and, we just learned, appreciates some downward dog, too.
But he’s got a new title on the horizon, and it’s “Dad.”
Lauryn Cribb, aka Mrs. Florence, announced today that the couple is expecting their first baby.
It’s a boy, and it’s due in May.
She shared the news in the post above and captioned it:
“Swallowed a watermelon seed and now it’s growing 🥹 We’re excited for our little baby boy to join us in May”
Mini John John is the first of the next generation of Florences. Mom Lauryn is originally from Australia, so the kid will enjoy the perks of families in different parts of the world.
The surf world exploded in excitement in the comments section. Check it out below:
Carissa Moore: “So excited and happy for you guys!”
Strider Wasilewski: “Yesss”
Molly Lenny (Kai’s wife): “finally the cats outta the bag!!!! Can’t wait”
Sophia Wilson: “exciting year coming!”
Peter King: “Awesome”
Erik Knutson (John’s photog): “Congrats you lovely humans.”
Congrats!
