Seriously impressive how Nate is able to travel halfway across the world to a crazy gnarly slab he's barely surfed before and have a perfect read and barrel on his first wave. Pure talent
Haha thanks man! I was more stoked than anything to just ride one on a board i wasnt sure of so spooky testing it on a slab like that!
And a pretty sick timing for the paddling :)
Woh dude these slab tours you do are amazing. So pumped just watching these vids. Absolutely brilliant !!!!
😊✨️🙌✨️🤙
It’s that Florence blood
Nate is an elite athlete disguised as a absolute madman. Charging desolate slabs alone, making rough and dangerous conditions look like a glassy day at his home break. It’s awesome to watch someone push surfing to its limits again and again.
100%.
He is always laughing and cracking up, but some of these breaks look super gnarly to me. 😳
This guy is not just another vloger, he's an extreme athlete at the pinnacle of his sport. Short,sharp & spectacular vid.
I know and he is so damn casual about it. I took one look at that wave and said no effing way he gets one and first try! Bam! Nasty nate for the win.
@@finzfan47 😄
@@user-jt2fw5wk7z --yea?
Let's see it.
The entry- exit alone was hairy.
and that´s how you stamp yourself as the best heavy water surfer on the planet, mindblowing skill and courage. Huge respect. Great video work also.
Thanks boss
Nate is so giggly/happy-go-lucky all the time it’s easy to forget that he is THE heavy waterman on the planet. But it’s not like he broke his back or shattered his elbow surfing this year because that would surely make him more cautious.
Shoutout to the wife for real. She did her thing and got the shots for you, even in the crazy offshore! Loved her knowledge on how the wave was kinda hard to get into, and how a tow would help. You have taught her well Mr. Florence. Those pits looked so sick & fun. Salute from Jersey, yeeww!
A tow would help, but then it would be skiing not surfing
I think her WolfPack credentials speak for themselves; reading waves was bred into her
Mahina knows waves. She can hold her own for sure.
Mahina: You must have nerves of steel to watch Nate surf these solo sessions in these gnarly breaks. 'Much Respect to both of you!
They are legit life goals
You got definitively the pure sense of surfing...how much confident you need to be to go alone in these conditions...impressive,
You’re always alone out there
Not in Southern California
@@m.vonTscharnerlol, they are talking about this break in Ireland 😂 not that shithole
Nate, you my bro, get the trophy slab master, sitting on my couch watchin you speeding thru these barrels of death, and i m digging my nails into my table ducking my head so the lip dont get me, you are inspiring to say the least. Next best thing to being there! So freakin rad. Gobabygo...
Glad you got that exit on camera!!!! I dont think people really realize the amount of water knowledge it takes to do that 🤙 true Waterman
Yea super tricksy psddle in, he nailed it and made it look easy
Is it one of those nice surprises, or the dark kind (like with the peanut butter toilet horror story)?@HITMEUPNathanFlorencesVIATELE-
You are a absolute legend man. The paddle out the rides and the paddle in. Master class in reading the ocean 🌊
post doctorate. for sure...
Omg over boils threading the needle water knowledge is incredible Nathan 👏 Florence for sure it shows right here 💪🙏
Awesome that you and your wife are such a great team. Doing life great. These videos are legendary. Almost make you rethink dimensions on your own equipment. Respect!
So much respect and in awe of you Nate. Best content by far, so humble yet fearless. Mahina is so easy to listen to, two champs.
That was one slick entry - timing to perfection. I have to say its incredibly impressive the way you turn up to a new wave like that and figure out the layout so quickly. I almost enjoy watching the entries and exits more than the surfing when its so sketchy like that.
Who does that? Nate paddles out to a scetchy slab alone. Turns & goes backdoor & nails it. Dude, i am SO IMPRESSED.
LIKE MAhina said. Nate you done good brother!
P.j. Honolua.
Probably one of your sickest videos due to being alone and the sun going in. Watching it clamp before you paddled out had me worried, but then, as you got closer to the sea, it calmed to allow you a stress free paddle out, truly beckoning and welcoming you to that slab. Your "friends" missed a golden opportunity leaving it to one man to rule all the waves. It's always beautiful how awesome you are as a couple during those stressful times, and how much Mahina backs you to the hilt, but still worries naturally and turns it into cute commentary. What's not to like, your sheer bloody-mindedness and determination to ride the sickest waves on the planet hypes and lifts everything you do. Props once again to the community who probably fell over themselves to lend you a board or three 😂 Formidable Nate & Mahina Florence SLAB tour 💪
Still love Zoard, but he's throwing himself out of planes and stuff 😂🎉
😊✨️🙌✨️🤙
Really love the way the two of you talk to each other as a couple. You can hear the respect and love
Another EPIC journey! You somehow always find the heaviest slabs! Sketchy paddle out and in. Great photography, y'all make a great team! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Quoting Charles Dickens, ""All's Well That Ends Well";-) Very well done, Nate & Mahina! These slab tours have been worthy of a surfing novel, indeed!
Putting the "power" in power-couple! So fun to watch you two go on these missions.
This is the iconic slab tour content I have come to know and love! World class and no one out!
I had multiple panic attacks watching you solo that slab. Amazing!
right?
Nate is the closest thing to a real life SUPERHERO to me its not just the massive bombs he won't hesitate to drop into its the solo sessions....the man has NO FEAR!! Nothing but love for you brother!!!
Nate, you’re an absolute madlad in the best way possible.
That backwash on the first wave was minblowing. What a timing. Loved the music. Mad props to you for going out.
Total legend! Shoot those three boils on that second one was sketch.i was thinking how are you going to get back in. 😂😂😂you made it look so easy on a board you never even surfed. So sick 🎉🎉🎉
Love that youve got such a great relationship with the British isles and Ireland. Special places for sure, and so much potential to tap into crazy waves, especially if youre a slab meistro!
Had to comb the replies to find where this is. I mean, no one even told us the country, much less the region. Something that fascinates me as a wave watcher, surfer, and geographer. So thank you. Ireland. I was thinking that. Or Scotland. 🌊🌍💙
Those black alien eyes after surfing the slab... are you even human Nate!! definitely not a mere mortal! respect!
Hearing you talk about the spooky makes me feel better. I thought I was the only one who gets spooked in solo sessions
After all these years watching Natan is no.1 gnarliest surfer ever those Ireland videos last year were awesome
The Florence brothers read the ocean like they were born in it. Mad respect for pushing the sport and always cracking a smile!!
This is just pure love and the aloha spirt for the water and surfing in general. He chases waves with still getting the stoke he has got since probably day 1. 🤙
The good you've put into the world has responded, enjoy that beautiful blade.
You deserve it all, Nate. The barrels, the travelling, the search, the reward, the girl. Respect!
WHAT BEAUTIFUL TEAMWORK from ALL involved- amazing gratitude, and impressing your lovely wife with feats of skill, bravery, courage, and stamina.
In awe of the whole situation!
Congratulations, beautiful humans!
You are amazing...Ive been watching your videos for awhile now,Truly the real deal waterman, ive had small experiences in my life not quite like that, but my first few times to Puerto in the late 70's early 80's reminded me of that, kinda scary,spooky no one out, such a great feeling when your done and you relize you can survive...I msg you awhile back, Im recovering after a long road back after a bout with cancer that took away may mojo, It helps so much just to watch your water videos,gives that feeling we all yern for,,Thank you!! Much love to you and your surfing family, You guys are truly frun to watch!
Awesome session! Love Mahina's confidence in her soul mate!!
W0W! I can not believe how skillfully ya stepped back. Read the ocean & made the paddle out look easy!? Mad skill'zzz!
Dude, it's absolutely insane how often you travel, especially considering you fly from Hawai'i for it all. That's love and commitment right there.
Edit: Also, that shot of you walking on the rock before paddling out looks crazy with the colors. I thought it was a black and white shot at first
Waoo great, Seriously impressive how Nate is able to travel halfway across the world 💕 you are looking like special flower blossoming among many,, without you,, the garden is incomplete, you are Great Creator, Wish you Lots of love happiness, stay connected Lets fly together forever for imaginative success
you have some courage bro. Being there by yourself in an environment you are not familiar with, and you made it look so smooth. My respect to you!
Dudes a legend. Where there's a wave, there's Nate! 🤙
Fearless! And the skill at 8:02 is no less than
expert!
Absolutely wow Nate! 🙌
Dude, is crazy how emotionally invested you can get into your videos. Dope video man
I can't imagine making some of those slabs, but so happy to see you making them. Nathan. Legendary.
@HITMEUPNathanFlorencesVIATELE-Australia has so many places you have to surf. Hint: Green 💚 rooms! Safe navigation brother.
@HITMEUPNathanFlorencesVIATELE- There's a spot that's 6-12 foot. Blue in the morning and Green in the afternoon. It's like a Rock. That's so like the land it's easy to feel like your under a cliff of water. The take offs so easy about a centimetre from foam flying on a cloud up a boat ramp. It's clear and it's a meter deep. I could make make it but I'm so far away. A portal would not exist without stating again, forgetting who you are. Assuming another name.
Amazing sync you have with Mahina, her understanding of surfing is A+.
no one is doing it like you! these slabs you surf leave me speechless
I identified this part of Northern Europe in the 10 seconds by the decor of the house.
Has to be one of the most talented freesurfers out there, This guy can travel to any slab in the world and treat it like its his home break
Anything Florence is all number 1 !!!!
I’ve never been a big surf helmet advocate but I think you might want to consider it. So entertaining, that wave is nuts.
3:59 I would’ve made it to the bottom of the slab. Epic episode!!!! Nate, I only watch your episodes from start to finish. The sketch factor is going through the roof. Can’t wait for more!!!
One of the coolest during vids I've ever seen with just a camera on the beach. Crazy balls!!!! Scary solo sessions with big ol balls!!
This wave and location is so mystical. Seeing you out there solo was so inspiring.props to Mahina ❤
You probably wont see this amongst all the other comments, but just have to say how cool it is that your wife is so into what you do. Real love is a beautiful thing, wishing you both nothing but the best. Big yewww from the NSBR crew.
That was SO entertaining! I didnt surf waves in your caliber....but the feelings and emotions...I feel all! Thank you and God Bless you and prayers for your safety!
nate you're so good I can't believe that you can just do everything so good you're literally my favourite so far love you keep making sick Videos
The first Nate video I saw arrested me, he's actually showing me big critical drops instead of weak turns and elegant lips, I'm hooked because this is relevant
Bro, ... you are at your PEAK right now. Just slaying it. 👏👏👏
The commentary on the paddle out/in is like hearing your own thoughts spoken out loud. Mahina is an amazing person for being able to power through the stress of filming these solo surf sessions. Also great music choice as always, especially switching between the raw sound of the ocean.
Holy moly !!!!! That first barrel first slab mind blowing 🤯 … read on the paddle out and paddle in wtf next next level 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Hands down, the best surfing vlog on the internet! Don’t know how you keep raising the bar but don’t stop!
Just huge respect of your and the ocean. This harmony is beautiful🫶🏼☮️🌊
Nate you’ve got those shark eyes going on mate haha !
Such a mad dog Nate!!! On behalf of bodyboarders world wide, apologies we didn’t join you for that session! Can’t believe we dogged you.
Haha! No apologies my new bodyboard friends made a huge redemption and one of them attempted a new wave with me a few days later with an even worse paddle out and crazy conditions! Your gonna love that video its hectic 😂
I find myself often, sumerge deep in my mind wondering about the mechanics of the universe it self , while gazing at my life true the view of a barrel deep in some slab , , Thank you Nate no better times then the times you sit alone. Be safe and careful, can't wait for the next blog, by the way the black box 2 is my board of choice lately, stoked you give it a try.
Wonderful and beautiful songs as always , thank you !!
Thanks!
The shot in the water, looking into the wave and seeing all the water sucking across the reef!! Plus, being out there by yourself....Scary! Great video!
So sick , you are the GOAT of slabs. PURA VIDA 🌴
I’m in awe that you just grab a flight to Scotland to jump off those horrific rocks and paddle around in that spook soup! You could very easily just stick to the tropics… so impressive you deliberately make things hard for yourself. Very few will know what it’s like to be totally on your own in a situation like that
Having sombody filming who can call for help, and being "totally on your own " are two differnt things.
@@krusher74in that part of Scotland you’ll be long dead before anyone comes to help.
Unreal editing, absolutely perfect soundtrack! Best surf content out there by a mile 🔥
The slab master scores again Thanks for sharing the journey as always my friend and God Bless 👍🤙
Nathan Florence!!
You are every bit of THE BEST SURFER IN THE WORLD making those impossible death bombs 💣
BADASS
Love watching the two of you on these wild adventures. ❤
Very inspiring to watch your videos. Gives everyone that motivation to go out there and live our best lives. Thanks!
This is the sickest surf video I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you as always!! You’re an absolute madman for soloing that slab but it would have haunted you forever if you didn’t go 🤙🤙🤙❤️✝️ God bless you brother and your wife!! 💕
You're different dude. You're just not the same 😅 seriously impressive balls on you brother! Proper kahuna! 💪
Epic!! What a charger and incredible footage! Thanks both of you!
Excellent footage. You really transmit the water feeling.
That’s a mutant slab , daaaammmmm. Great team effort, Mahina is rockin it , such a smooth entry and exit Nate
Spooky session for sure!! And you got some of course 😮😮🎉. Killer.
Respect.....Nathan you a best.....I surfed near you and your brother at Pupukea and you were so chill and mellow....I was always with the Panics bodysurfers....they love Pupukea so much.
Nate is the man if he says it's scary that's insane because he is out in some insane conditions around the world.
great to see you back in scotland, you're very much welcomed! 👍👍
Super epic solo slab sesh! Special. Ultimate props to Mahina, I'm guessing you couldn't arrive at this level without her love and support (and wicked camera skills). You picked a good time to come over Nate, waves are pumping
The first wave at 8:10 was one of the most insane barrels given the situation. It was perfect, and the backwash just barely missed you. It could have ended the session right there
For all us intermediate surfers trying to progress - I would greatly appreciate if you could make a video or podcast about the do’s and don’ts of surfing shallow reef breaks/sandbars on head high to overhead days and knowing how to be comfortable falling safely both frontside and backside, similar to how skaters know how to fall safely when testing their limits. Love the channel and the podcast 🤙
Or if you’ve already covered this, please let me know where I can find these tips!
I found one of your older videos that does a good job outlining the advice I was looking for. I’m sure a lot of us could benefit from you revisiting this subject if the opportunity arises though!
ruclips.net/video/6oD5gQqb2S4/видео.htmlsi=wYjXHkuEoV-NQ3b8
that was intense ! even to watch . well captured 👏🏽✨🙏🏽
Im mostly impressed by his entry and exit from the water. Im not a surfer so that looks very well done to me.
Hey Nate and fans! So impressed and enjoyed the heck out of your post. How amazing that Mahina goes on the trips with ya, and takes the cam, and definitely does Nail the clips!
You and Your LOVELY wife are such an inspiration about Living Life…. With Love + Respect .. that you for sharing The JOY !
Way to capture all your emotions charging such a ballsy spot. Even the music seemed to encompass what you were feeling out on the water all alone.
Awesome vid. Your experience showed on the paddle out. And coming back in
I don't think people truly appreciate what goes on in the Slab Tour because it's the Amazing Race for crazy and super heavy slabs. Incredible showing of peak physicality!!!
That was INCREDIBLE. From that mental paddle out and back in to dealinG with a clamping mental slab combined with a crazy backwash and all in a wetsuit, boots and gloves. Next level, surfing, great edit, love the commentary. Them POV shots with the wind turbines are super sick. Great work guys, loved watching that
8:46 Nate this I think is the sketchiest wave I’ve seen you ride. Can’t believe your fin’s did not hit that reef 🪸 at this exact moment. Hell of a ride 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Mahina deserves major credit for the support. Legend
So sick!! Crazy navigation of that tube straight into back wash 😮 👏
So easy to just get thrashed getting out, and back in, forget sussing out the wave and riding it, great session Nate, Mahina!
