As someone who grew up and still surf here (YEAH LAYCOCK) haha You guys take off so deep, it blows my mind.. Literally no one else does, you guys not knowing the spot or how shallow low is, just destroy the Island!
I've seen surfers take off a fair way round, as it wraps and builds coming around the island before going full slab. Hard to tell where these guys were taking off though. Haven't been to cronulla for near 15 years.
Nathan that's the most amazing sesh , not only the surfing 🌊, as much as the interaction and camaraderie, this is the energy of surfing, great times , great locals and Zero egocentric judges trying to tell you "How to surf" kudos man we salute you from Florida.🤙
Bra nate my aussie friend actually shot couple stills of u at shark island that got re-posted by stab and went viral. He was stoked! Everywhere u go i hear positive stories from locals rather than the usual when pros blow into town! Proud of you nate! Awesome ambassador for hawaiian surfers!
thats the way some of the sessions of my year have been like these, meeting new friends hyped on heavy shallow barrels good vibes no egos and just sending
You got the Island on a good day which probably happens two or three times a year. It’s an awesome break when it’s on. Definitely the best slab in the Sydney region. So nice to see the old neighbourhood unchanged. Chilled crowd. Plenty of waves to go around. Everyone getting barrels. That’s Sydney dude. Finish up and go for a hot pie and chocolate milk.
I want to watch this so bad you know it’s only the best surf channel on the planet but I got a wait so I can watch it on my big ass iPad! I hadn’t seen it yet, but thank you very much Nathan and Company. I’m sure it’s another mega banger.
Wow. Another intrepid take on such a sick slab going OFF! Everything is sketchy, from the water entry and exit, the shallow sucking slab and the mutant wave with random steps within the tube. How you made some of them, and gave us the pov to prove it is mindblowing. You’re officially in bodyboarding territory, but sending it so hard and paying so much respect, that your vids always have those magic Nate, goofy, psycho, loveable puppy vibes that make locals wherever you go welcome you with open arms. So stoked for the locals here. They have the sickest wave, and then they got to share it with you and Kip. Insane, as usual. Thanks for the vicarious adrenalin dump brother! 😅🎉🤙✨️🙌 And if your insta is anything to go by, wishing your injury better. I thought it might have been here, but you negotiated the sketchy exit from the water unscathed. Love the raw POV, now looking forward to the Zourd footage and edit with music 🎉 ✨️🤙
When the vibe is like this, nothing beats it. Just be pumped for everyone lol, this is sick dude. Loved my island days in the 90s. Green light for this sunday btw, im there!
How times have changed...growing up as a surfing grom in the early 80s on the KZN south coast ( between Durban and Jeffrey's Bay ) all we had back then was a Minolta Weathermatic water proof camera..and then the agonising wait for the film to get developed lol...but the utter Stoke and jubilation is still the same tho..Nice to see😂
@@NathanFlorence Yeah man, i remember sitting on the cliff on that 01 epic, and a few of the other early ones, Mike, Hubb, Players, Eppo Macka, you name 'em they were there. Seen some brutal takedowns there and had them myself 😂
Grew up at cronulla surfed the island here when it was on have plenty of scars on my knees and feet and torn wetsuits getting keelhauled over it but to tame a few big ones out there was worth it nice one Nathan😅
i remember the first photo i saw of this place in the mid eighties in a surf mag Mick Makie on about a 6/8 footer holding on by one fin and an inch of rail id love to see it in real life one day

What do you mean they destroy the island?
That gremmie will be telling the "I high fived Nathan" story for years!! :)
Yeah he has been god
Forever

Nothing like a good day and the line up is positive and stoking out for each other, whoops, hoots and hollers.
thats the way some of the sessions of my year have been like these, meeting new friends hyped on heavy shallow barrels good vibes no egos and just sending
That moment at 11:23-11:24 when the barrel ledges up, oh my gosh - beautifully caught by the GoPro, and a good catch to stay on yer feet
Yes! Gnarly!
The bottom of the wave drops out as you say, I second that, he makes it look easy, hardcore wave

Of all the waves Nathan has surfed in the world, I still love how stoke he gets - he still has the bug!
Nathan, both koas, eli and job all rock in their own ways!!!!!
Scored a solid session today and got to watch this. A good way to start the week.

I love the high 5 to the grom after a deep one.🤙
Awesome footage of our gnarly Nulla pit.
Shark island definitely not for the faint hearted. Almost as shallow and as sharp as Teahupoo.
I remember the 2001 Shark Island Challenge, 10 foot widow makers.
That one went down in history, full send mode
Nice Video! I like the sounds of the sea.
i love a good pov classic
Nathan, im big fan of yours... many hugs from Rio! You're so fan! God bless you.
Always epic stuff, each upload is a gem, keep killing it brother
So so deep loved seeing the slab tour continue!! More like the froff stoked tour!
Insane footage! Great show of respect to the local guys also 🤙
Sick bro doesnt always need to be legendary just in the water with people is sick stokeness thats legendary itself i suppose..
Who knew watching someone surf is kinda entertaining
Just such an amazing surfer and always stoked
Epic session boys 🤙 well done
So many waves on offer .
Honestly a whole career can be made by POV'ing the island like this
That footage made me feel like i was out in the lineup😂🔥
Aussie winters! The best! Welcome to the shire!
That was sick
Going off 🌊🌊🌊
The Slab Tour is back! Love it
the grommie will remember that moment forever

Absolute legend
Nathan firing like a madman at the island, guy is a beaaast
At Zuma n7 tower that fealing of dropping in, cristal swells. It's etched into my the best days ever. Thanks for nostalgia

Being in that encapsulated barrel must be like winning the Superbowl. Youre the best dude. Checking in from So Cal 😎🤟
Yeeew
Best view in surfing, that frontside drop into a spinning blue gaschamber ❤
Geez,you get around Nate..you make surfing look so easy..✌🏄♂️🌊
Keyword: Look
World Slab Tour at one of my towns slabs is just epic. Just wish I made the trip down there that day.
7:01 this angle of Kipp on that mutant one is absolutely insane
Fun size. Hairy entrance and exit to the waves there.
So dope to hear you stoked, loved this video dude
Well done guys!
loved the heckin-noise that you made as you started paddling
Mushroom rock at the end of the wave can get a little sketch. Love that place.
Great sess N8 thanks for tubetime☮️😊
Lol nates always the most stocked dude in the lineup I love it
That was OWSOME, made me fell like I was surfing with you, thanks.
Ambassador of Aloha - such a rad guy
I love the stoke 😊
Friggin tube shark island can't wait for the full edit

Love the froth!
This kid at 4:30 was cheesing harder than Nate here
I LOVE YOU NATHAN FROM FRANCE 🇫🇷 🏄♂️
Ah moi aussi je suis français 😊

@@NathanFlorence Yeah man, i remember sitting on the cliff on that 01 epic, and a few of the other early ones, Mike, Hubb, Players, Eppo Macka, you name 'em they were there. Seen some brutal takedowns there and had them myself 😂
Nate definitely saying "thats hectic" after being in South Africa xD
How do you have your GoPro attached this time? Looks like a head or chest mount
In my teeth
So sick!
Sick waves thanks for sharing
Legend
Kip is a Lord
Grew up at cronulla surfed the island here when it was on have plenty of scars on my knees and feet and torn wetsuits getting keelhauled over it but to tame a few big ones out there was worth it nice one Nathan😅
Imagens maravilhosa🇧🇷
Nice POV!
I love how you come out of the barrel and get dabbed up
that was so epic !!
This is sick
Hell yeah Nate!!
i remember the first photo i saw of this place in the mid eighties in a surf mag
Mick Makie on about a 6/8 footer holding on by one fin and an inch of rail

Boogies were absolutely hammering those waves.
4:12 is sooooo nice

👽👽👽👽👽
Sick video!!!
Get better nathan! Praying for a full recovery for your injured vagina!
Epic
Hey Nathan while you’re in Aus you should go down to Phillip island few cheeky waves down there you would like.
The barrel at 4:24 was crazy glassy, you were so deep
