    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

      I could not believe he made it through the back of the first wave. I was feeling really bad

    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.

    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!

  • @seblivefloormanager
    @seblivefloormanager 9 месяцев назад +7

    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 😂🎉
