    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 !!

    Nate learning the ropes in Hawaii, respect, and safety are all part of growing up. You guys are setting a new standard of waterman learning every day.

    Nate’s dedication and hustle to world surf and vlogging is honestly so respectable.. Not just as a surfer but as a productive human being! Pushing himself every day with very few breaks

    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.

    Good move brother. You know that super fine line between advanture and misadventure having been down your long road of experience. We want you to continue to exercise discretion as the better part of valor. Keep on bringing us the high-level slab series. Look after yourself and keep smiling!

  • @michaelstrode8924
    @michaelstrode8924 Год назад +14

    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🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Hey Nathan, great to Sea U surfing the cold waters of Portugal in Winter (the best, no one in the water! ). You've been there a few times, I'm sure that , with a little time, you'll find a nice sweet house, in front of a nice hidden/unknown spot. There's a place for you in this country of mariners and Sea Man! Enjoy and welcome back!

  • @brendonleary

    I've never seen Nathan paddle out and paddle back in without catching a wave.
    Now that certainly says something about the spot.

  • @johndoeyedoe

    Such a nice heavy slab. I like how its a little inclined sloping up towards the land. Definately hand you a solid beating.

  • @jeffkolodny
    @jeffkolodny Год назад +4

    Literally one of the best surfers ever. Makes impossible waves look like I could actually ride them, which is ridiculous. I don’t know how he does it, and how he keeps pumping out Contant day after day. Keep it up.

  • @andrewjones7971
    @andrewjones7971 Год назад +3

    The positioning and timing at the 14:00 mark is amazing. The subtle adjustments and weight transfers on the back foot, almost impervious to the naked eye is high level tube riding at its best. Cheers for the water perspective.

  • @Matraka2000

  • @willn5393
    @willn5393 Год назад

    This might be my favourite dispatch yet, felt like I was there on the dawn surf check, hanging out in the car park, etc. Even though you didn't catch any waves in the first sesh (or at least none that you showed) it was really cool to see. I feel like I come on a mini surf trip whenever I watch these vids, the highs and the lows and even the times when it's just too sketchy to be out there.

  • @inobi30

  • @dos_mas_805
    @dos_mas_805 Год назад +10

    To see and hear Nate come in because he thought it was too scary was sobering. Travels the world and charges the scariest slabs with no problem, so you know that must've been super sketch!! Glad he trusted his gut and came in and also scored on the second sesh.
