Sporting athletes usually don’t stick to one sport. Many try several sports before finding the right fit. However, the ones who report having found their passion at an early age also branched out and tried other games. A similar story belongs to a surfing icon from Hawaii, who has his feet on not one, but three different boards.

Ivan Florence is a renowned surfer who frequently gets lost in several adventurous escapades with his friends and his brothers. A third of the Florence surfing brothers, Ivan shows a lot of versatility. While the beaches and the surfboard are always his first calling, a recent social media post he made showcased him revisiting another sport.

His Instagram stories also showed him climbing on top of his snowboard and descending a slope on Mount Yotei. After all, it is a very popular skiing destination visited by several tourists every year. The surfing icon easily glided through the snow, just like he does while he surfs the waves at the beaches of Hawaii.

Notably, Florence braved adverse weather conditions to not just satisfy his itch, but to beautifully maneuver on his snowboard. Ivan Florence is a Vans Surfing athlete, but regularly takes on other sports. Snowboarding is just one of the sporting activities which he enjoys, other than surfing. In fact, his other surfing alternative is also a board-mounting sport.
