    I love that you gave this much time to the "failed" first round where you paddled out and decided it was too dangerous. While the barrels into airs from the second session were awesome, obviously, it's also very sobering (and relatable) to see the official #1 big wave surfer decide it's too scary and not even try to paddle into a wave.

    The CAVE is a cheese grater thinly disguised as a slab break. One misstep and you are the shred. Truly a wave of consequence, Nate handles it like it's his home break. World class !!

    Very happy you did not try to test the bigger ones with lots of width. Way too heavy/fat. Even that smaller wide one fortunately let you run through it or it also could have been a problem. Continue testing as much as you are able with safety as #1. Cannot imagine you getting serious problem. Not worth the risk when you are the top variety of heavy waves rider worldwide. We need you safe always please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    • @brianh5844
      @brianh5844 10 месяцев назад +13

      Agree, although I imagine it probably is difficult to adjust to surfing with a helmet at first, which may be why some surfers forgo it rather than being a bravado thing. I'm sure the extra weight on the head (however slight) affects the muscle memory.

    THE DECISION NOT TO GO - shows the WORLD CLASS LEVEL Nate is at. A true professional at a GOAT level. Yes, I'm beginning to use that term for NATE. He is incredible at so many levels. YES, Slater is the GOAT competitor, however, he has never mastered Sunset Beach or others. But hands down GOAT competitor, but Nate is taking things to the next level along with Kai Lenny, and a few others. I LOVE THE SLAB TOUR.

    Freezing cold water, the wave sucking up all the water exposing the rock slab, and a very chance that you will hurt yourself is enough to make me say fuck this spot. I'd rather try body surfing at Teahupo'o. That's how scary this place is. The risk of serious injury just isn't worth it, but Kudos to Nate for sending it.
