This is undoubtedly the most intense wave in the world when your ride into that west bowl and feel the power on a beatdown! Enjoy the video all! I am in all black with blue tow board for wave reference!

Same
You Rip it to bits Mate! Those backhand snaps of Yours get Me so Pumped. But This Hawaiian Freak is next Level,, Ahahhahhaa!!
Sickkkk
At 10 mins what is this trip music?
This video should have 1 million views. Insane footage. Kona is going to be huge tomorrow.
Thanks brother
I'd say 10 million!! Holy Cow!!
Right!!??
well it kinda does.
910612 ... counting :)
The Florence Family does EVERYTHING to the NEXT level! Such a sick edit Nate and Crew! 20 minutes of looking at the TV repeating “What The FUUUUCK” out loud! Mahalo Gents!!!
Thanks man! Stoked!
Honestly love getting to witness the emotion and atmosphere, rather than just going straight into the surfing. Great editing, great video.
Incedible footage! It is such a blessing to be able to record surfing waves like this for those that have never surfed and for the ones that have to be able to feel the adrenaline rush of watching such epic waves.
Love to see a longer raw version of this session
Its coming
yep, could watch hours of this
@@NathanFlorence nice, music is not a prerequisite for waves such as these. Could you sleep Thursday night?
@@NathanFlorence need more povs plsssss
Oui sans musique…. Merci bien
Chumbo's little check turn under the lip, sheesh you guys absolutely crushed it out there.
Just Sick Stuff Already!
That blew my mind.
And then emerging from the spray with his arms out. Majestic.
He is so good!!
Been freaking waiting for this one to drop! Soooo sick! Thanks Nate for putting it all on the line for us viewers!
The best surf video ever. And that song around halfway, could not be any more perfect. Thanks Nathan for this.
Wow. Incredible video and fast production. I watched it all. This is what years of hard work, training, patience, friends, and not giving up looks like...
Man just sitting at home watching this is sooo stressful, can't imagine being in the lineup! wow weeee! Masssive props bro!
That current against the channel marker on the way out was crazy. Just to see such a beautiful part of the world would be enough for me let alone surfing those monsters. Epic session all round🤙
Right the entire lagoon was a rip current
I've surfed Florida all my life, to hear the straight power of these waves is unreal, this was an absolutely epic video thanks for sharing.
Dude.... you had an amazing day. Probably hard to come down from a high like this... good thing pipeline is your home. Thanks to you and and your team for sharing this. I have never seen a comment thread with so many minds blown. This was all time and next level. Congratulations. Be well.
This is some of the best footage of Teahupoo since the KOA swell. Mad props for the footage. Yeewwwww!
Good job some of the best rides of all time. Great filming. You guys crushed it!!
Finally, been waiting for an epic video of the most epic session even this past couple of years, nailed it, and thank u 🌊⚡🌬
Knowing what was going to happen that day, hearing you guys talk a bout it during the first 2mins of this vid gave me chills all over!!
The paddle, tow, and pov, amazing footage all around from everyone!
Thanks legend!
7:08 When Nate says No Way. There's No way!!!
Best footage so far from that day👏👏👏👏👏so freaking EPIC.
Absolutely amazing footage thank you so much for taking us along ,wow just wow!
It's amazing how we tirelessly travel to get these brief moments of bliss. But it's worth it. Excellent barrels. Making it out of that Costa Rica tube was a highlight amongst highlights.
I love the paddle waves most. So good.
This is more than just a passing KZhead video. This is the best thing I've ever seen. Such quality camera work, new angles, awesome soundtrack and one of the world's most beautiful and powerful waves absolutely firing, not to mention the crew charging like animals! Thankyou for changing my life. That was epic.
Yeah that angle out front of the one on the ski was mental, and he made it!
You guys are bat shit crazy! This swell was a show like no other all along the west coast of Tahiti. Couldn’t stop watching the ocean in front of our house, flooded the whole entire garden! Watching everyone’s stories from tchops made me feel a way I’ve never felt Big respect!
That check turn that Lucas pulled off in the most critical spot was so strong. It might not look like much to many people, but, that is soooo impressive. The strength and timing off that blows my mind. Watch it. That is skill my friend. Legendary.
CONGRATS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS. GLAD EVERYONE'S SAFE. Big congratulations to you Mr. Florence. This video WILL eventually get a million hits because it's a historic first-hand account of that day's events. An amazing job by you and your crew. Your surfing is incredible. thanks for taking us all on the ride along with you. ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING FOOTAGE DUDE!!!! 🤙👍😎
This is by far the best footage of teahupo ever .
man, I'm at a loss for words, incredible. Just gotta say thank you for sharing !!
Absolutely amazing surfing by all of you. Thanks for taking us along for the rides.
I respect you. As a layman, it’s weird to watch because I would just die. So cheers to you.
We’ve been waiting for this!!!!
This might be the coolest vlog to date. Thank you for sharing this Nate and Ryan Moss 🤙🏼
Insane !! You really captured the madness, energy + the joy of the world's gnarliest wave . Nice work excellent skills as always never disappoint 👊
Some of the most incredible footage I have ever seen - fully captures the awesome nature of this wave.
It’s truly unbelievable
Thanks man! Being channel side out there is such a crazy experience i wanted to get you guys as close as possible
The clip that starts at 11:39 is absolutely terrifying. Imagine getting caught in that. Thank you for the footage. I loved all of it.
Best video of Teahupo'o I've seen. When I surfed in high school the world didn't know about Teahupo'o. Pipeline is nothing compared to this. Scary even watching the spectator boats getting out of the way when a set looms.
At the end of the road the ocean arises. Teahupo'o is so different from any other wave. The week after the 2016 contest a bigger swell came through, only Dane Gudauskas, Nathan Fletcher and locals like Matahi and Tikanui in the water. Shooting from the lineup in Gerard 'Poi' Smith's nutshell was a life changing experience. The pure Polysesian kindness also is very unique and will let you leave the islands with the biggest smile. Nate, keep it up!
Nate, as always you just hit it out of the park, amazing shots, be careful and keep posting, cannot wait until the next episode. Will love to see a drone shot of a wipe out until the surfer resurface to see the type of nasty ride you guys are expose to
There isn't another wave on earth that drains as hard as Chopes! Its like the entire ocean wells up and folds over itself!
Its so damn intense
@@NathanFlorence you're pretty damn good at it!
Haven't seen all the famous beasts of the world but my impression at teahupo'o is exactly as you described it. It doesn't look like a wave coming in, it's the entire ocean lifting...and it wasn't this big the few times I was there.
The right. I swear the lip is 3m thick
Its a beautiful wave but Shipsterns and The Right in AUS would both give it a run for its money. Probably the 2 heaviest waves in the world.
Nathan you always stand out and ur laughter is contagious.Mr send it.
How can anyone dislike this. Truly epic! Respect in every sense of the word. Can we also talk about the video capture, editing, and choice of music? Outstanding!!
That day was just unbelievable, houses got destroyed by that swell. Glad u had a good trip Nath, can't wait to have u back again here in Tahiti. Mahalo
Thanks boys!
On the edge of my seat the entire time. Scary and spectacular. I hope there's a hospital nearby for all the poor souls who got swallowed up and laid to waste on the reef.. 5 stars for this vlog. My first ever Nathan vlog. Good job Nathan!
One of the best minutes of video ever, from anywhere! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Friggin absolutely mental!! How insane was that.the wave, but navigating even the spit. Wholly spit. Epic Nate. Was waiting to see that day you guys got. Music added, like always. Ya u!!!! 🤙
Nate, you just elevated yourself into the highest echelon of big wave chargers in the world. Heavy brah!
He’s been there dude
Omg 😲😱 insanity to the fullest, Nate your a legend
Truly next level stuff here including the surfing and the quality of the video production. Those waves are measured in kilotons. Death defying and stunning.
Amazing content. Thank you for brining us on this journey.
WOW
Nate's got the chillest vibe, but put him in these extreme conditions and he goes FULL BEAST!!!! ps I hope you didn't end up with sun poisoning 🤣
We survived and the next day was insane!!
my heart starts racing like im there. Love the POV-style footage. YEW
The anticipation for this episode was huge.. you definitely did not disappoint!
OMG NAT! All bull aside Code Nat swell bra you owned it so frickin on target! Super mad respect 🙏
Thanks was incredible!
This is nuts. Went in June and scored pretty hard, can't even imagine what it was like that day
sick....thanks for sharing this.. I used to photograph Pipe back in the day....to see you and family absolutely ripping after seeing you guys in your early 10's its incredible
One if not the best film I’ve watched ,loved it !
That shot of an unridden wave at around 4'50" is the most perfect wave I have ever seen! Would be worth the video for that alone, but you get such a rush from the ridden waves. This has to be one of the best surf vids ever made!
Code Red? WOW I will never forget that one. 😮🇭🇲
Yo... such a great video man! Proper intense mate! Love how u guys firmed it and got out there! Respect man... those were mental mutant waves dude!🤙✌
I waiting this video long time🙌🔥 faitoito bro
Sick, those are monster waves
That was bat shit crazy some of the best footage i have ever seen
THE BEST LIFE!! Thanks for bringing me there🤯
So far beyond imagination Nathan!! Thanks for sharing these waves 🌊 ⚡️💫
Oh YEAH!🔥🤙🏼😎
Oh YeeeeeeeeaA!
Epic vid. Insane rides. Gnarly wipeouts. Blows my mind what you guys do, and even more that no one gets severely hurt more often.
Tbh the real heroes are the legends out their running safety. Mad respect
@@liuyloui I love how everyone is Smiling, I would have Poo in My boardies,, an probably crying,, Aahhahahah!!
This is incredible! Amazing footage!
Unbelievable video! Insane footage and Chopes looking frightening!
What an incredible swell. Some of these Tahitian guys ( and Nate) are nuts
17:25 the schoolgirl giggle is fantastic, with a great perspective. If I surfed I'd prbly wanna hang out with this crew. The video editing and music were epic. It all looks so amazing.
So much fun that you laugh like a child !
This is the swell of the year cheers to you Nate for experience that mana and beauty ⚔️
So I’ve got the whole chopes mission on a loop and nothings getting accomplished here...thanks for packing us up and taking us along Nate🙏
Hey Nathan, I care and so I am saying this. I am at 3:08 into your video. And yes you are correct the hold downs are not the concern, but as you say the impact is. I cannot know yet, are you wearing a helmet. Jokes aside man-I say this with respect-protect yourself. No matter what the chatter is, when you are deepest in the pit of a roaring beast no one cares about the protection, they just care when you get blown out of a spectacle of a wave. Remember, same BS about vests 5 years ago, than Dorian proved it saves lives. There is not an NFL player a NHL player or a NBL batter at the base not wearing one. Advocate for yourself and others who are putting their faith in their equipment and Mother Nature. Seriously the size and absolute power of this and many waves deserves our attention. Sorry to sound like grandma, but grandma knew best and if anyone argued you would smack them right! And just a side note, where is Kai?
Yeah, no clue why these guys don't wear helmets. Especially since they all ride Pipe, the most dangerous wave in the world - because of the risk of hitting your head...
@@cowboydoc nothing worse than hitting bottom or getting axed by your board. Crap at pipe as crowded as it gets you could get axed by another surfer themself. I don't know, pro athletes wear helmets and as the bar raises for size and intensity of wave-why not. With global warming there seems to be a rise in wave heights-maybe cyclical-but before long surfers may have to wear full body suits kind of like armor that keep them from blowing to pieces-yeah maybe I have been up to long today. But seriously, 110 foot set wave at Nazare could very well warrant some equipment upgrades. Hey, why isn't Kai Lenny out here? When I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen him at making teahupoo. I'm crashing.
There is no lip this so called wave has no lip I don't know if they can measure the bite force as it slams onto the reef but it's got to have the strongest "bite " In nature.......it's got to be like slamming on pavement going at least 15 r 20 mph ????? King Kong's Kung Fu Grip BTW it's one thing to even be able to surf this place but making it look ez too is border line cruel...lol...damn makes me so proud I don't know why..yes I do but can't explain it.
Good comment. Praying no one gets hurt.... but it just seems so logical to wear a helmet.
This Day Sould Be Praised By Odin And The God's. Love The Music M8
Praise odin
@@NathanFlorence "does spiritual throat singing" hmmm whommmm halaaaaaaa. Shots for the reply man!
Lifetime memory waves. Too cool to see you make it through the mother of all waves!
That shot from the ski riding along the impact zone was epic!
Amazing footage, skills, strength and agility! Just curious...in any other sport, (including skateboarding), helmets would seem appropriate. Is there a practical reason why no one wears a lid for this level of surfing?
Helmets are very appropriate for those that can wear them, it throws off my senses and reflexes so much it might cause me to wipeout so its kinda a weird call for me,
@@NathanFlorence people never take this into consideration. for someone at such a high level that's never used a helmet throughout their entire career, it's hard to just throw one on and expect to be as comfortable as they were before. your reasoning is perfectly sound and you know what's best for your safety more than anyone else!
What a freak wave lol the most beautiful wave in my opinion, much more powerful than pipeline ?
Yes teahupoo is more powerfull
Yep, it was worth the wait. Thanks man, sick video!
Amazing Nathan Flores, si good what you do, i all happy that you had a such experience in my country
Hearing you say "I don't know if I want one" really puts it into perspective. How are you guys not dead? 😳 How shallow does that get?
Like 5 feet deep
Relatively deep until you have that heavy piledriver lip on your head...when you're paddling out watching the bombs coming in, it really feels like the ocean lifting rather than a "wave". She's a bit of an eerie one...
@@andreapirlol4301 Yeah, there are a few videos that catch this from a good angle and you can see the water level following the sloping contour of the reef in front of the wave. The sucking effect is obvious on some paddle-ins too where the guys are not actually moving forward even at full tilt 😃
i guess when the wave breaks all that water displacement is pushing upward ? idk, was wondering how they lived too
When you see the power and hear it and watch another human fall, you think 100% they are dead, its gambling for sure, at some point someone will slam the reef and be killed, oddly enough most deaths are on the smaller days at Teahupo’o.
This is a small taste of how powerful YAHUAH's creation is! GREAT!
Outstanding! One of the heaviest things I have ever seen. 👏👏👏
The jet ski shot from the inside was the best I've seen in awhile the color coming through the back of the wave was amazing glad to see you didn't get caught inside😁😁😁😁😁
Stunning footage. Great job.
That was mind bending. Remember the cover of Surfer 2000 August 17 ,, Laird on the OMG wave at Chopes. You guys were scoring even hollower, longer scary madness. Thanks Nathan.
Chopes scares the living shit outta me. Nate your backside paddle in drops never cease to amaze. Guess the fins held on your tow in board what a bad ass couple days bully...
These guys chuckling at 4/5 story glass buildings coming towards them is beyond crazy hahaha, never disappoint nate, gnarley tow waves
Nathan. proud of you man all that pipe exp , you were the only one completing your rides and your not even a tow guy great job man
Nathan Florence is officially one of the giants of big wave surfing.... owned it with such style👍 💪💪
absolutely bloody ridiculous bro!! Nate, freaking legend!
Blody legendary!!!! But would love to see also the raw footage man!! Must be insane!!!
Amazing video amazing session and your a HERO killing those waves bra!
Those waves look so powerful! Loved this!
Absolutely amazing mate. Never fail to entertain
Amazing footage! Much respect!
