Founded by elite professional surfer John John Florence, Florence Marine X is more than an apparel brand, it's a system of utilitarian equipment built for modern sport conditions. Created by one of the most versatile athletes on the planet, Florence Marine X reflects the demands of life spent in wind, water, heat, and heavy movement. Every piece is designed to perform at a high level across surf, training, water sport, and everyday use - tested by John John himself in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. 

Utilitarian Design for Modern Conditions 

Florence Marine X operates with a clear purpose: build gear that stands up to the elements while remaining lightweight, functional, durable. The brand blends technical materials, athlete-drive design, and minimalist aesthetics to create apparel that performs without distraction. These aren't trend-driven pieces, this is gear made to move, breathe, dry fast, and protect you from the environment, whether you're in the lineup, training on land, or navigating unpredictable weather.

Adapt Long Sleeve Hooded UPF Shirt 

  • A standout piece for sun-intense environments, the Adapt L/S Hooded UPF Shirt delivers lightweight protection without sacrificing comfort. Designed to move seamlessly between water and land, it provides UPF sun protection, quick-dry performance, and a streamlined fit ideal for surf sessions, paddling, or all day coastal exposure. This is sun defense built for athletes, not beachwear. 

Airtex Cordura 18.5" Boardshort

  • Built for durability and mobility, the Airtex Cordura 18.5" Boardshort is designed to handle high-impact surf and long days in the water. Featuring a tough yet lightweight Cordura fabric, these boardshorts balance strength with flexibility and fast-drying performance. They're purpose-built for serious surf conditions while remaining comfortable enough to wear beyond the water. 

Burgee Hoodie

  • The Burgee Hoodie brings Florence Marine X's utilitarian mindset to everyday wear. Designed for warmth, comfort, and durability, it's the perfect post-surf layer or transitional piece for cooler coastal days. Clean lines, premium materials, and a functional fit make it a go-to hoodie that still feels performance-ready.
