HEY TEAM! listen and respond below, as i did in a episode a few back i am ready to do analysis/breakdown talk through on segments of this video for you all, im thinking the situation after the right and getting stuck in the bowl at backdoor as current rips out into badly timed paddle out, and then the final clean up set with boards flying. that being said you guys want to send me some links of things youd like me to break down or analyze that could be fun too, from a vid of you and your buds surfing to the craziest wipeout you saw or situations your curious about in surfing, this format i find great for getting good info to you legends! ill be doing some special ones on JAWS and other spots and breaking down what its like to be in those situations. stoked! welcome to a new segment of the channel want to pioneer surf content and knowledge for you guys so subscroob and enjoy!
It will probably help save lives. When I first surfed north shore I was lucky enough to have Tony Moniz teach me some basics of staying alive. 😊🤘👍
That was fucking heavy when the last wave of the set came down on your head after you had broken your board
Yes definitely do a breakdown of that session that was insane! So cool to hear what's going through your mind during moments like that, especially when I would've given up on that session about eleven different times if it was me. Lol
I reckon a hectic moment was avoided @ 13.04. Situational awareness & critical decision making was on display there- if I was old mate caught on the inside with someone locked into a barrel coming my way my heart woulda been in my mouth haha. Good job on negotiating that!
Oh hell yes!! Love the breakdown content mate, keep it coming!
Finally a session I can relate to minus the few big barrels.
Right? 😂 Every day you live is a good day. 🤙
Is ur profile pic the arenal volcano
Great comment and why this is an awsome video
finally a comment I can 100% relate to 😂
@@gamer_not1257 Puu Oo Vent on Kilauea volcano on The Big Island of Hawaii.
Ah, that feeling of frustration, rage, and sadness as you realize there are more coming, and you are not deep enough, and the pounding isn’t ending, it’s just getting started. You watch as others gently paddle over the top, so close, just a few meters away. It’s so peaceful where they are. But you just can’t reach. Worst part of surfing. By far.
100%. This is always the most demoralizing spot to be in
Haha nailed it man, so frustrating getting dragged back just a few extra feet a few feet farther from safe zone each set until your in the real impact zone
Well said, some sessions just more than others
I remember those days until I learnt to watch for the tunnels of water going back out. Just head where the waves connect its smoother waters
Always seems like you get out there with such ease.
The fact this sessions does not only happens to me, Who I am a beginner, make me feel a little bit better 😅
Can bring a grown man to tears. We all been there- gotta look at it as a great workout as long as no injuries. Happy didn’t end badly.
That "Go" at 17:50 made me chuckle, not quite sure why 😆😆
That was brutal, I'm out of breath from just watching. There are more bodies out there than the law allows. cheers
Dude he's fit as fuck and trains for this shit of course he makes it look easy. I like how he paddles to a less impact impact zone. Yo Nathan it'd be cool if once in a while you gave a in sesh tutorial. What and why you are doing what you're doing
Florence does that in his channel, you should take a look, he gives really insightful information, some of it is specific for pipeline tho
Tomorrows upload full analysis and breakdown
Fitness is just another level. You put that work in and it shows.
Great footage (as always) - love the breakdowns, how to be better, safer, have more FUN!
Damn, leash ripped right through the tail of your board, too! Gnarly! That backdoor spot where you got caught inside, appears to be the same spot Ben Gravy got trapped without a board when his leash broke? Ben says this was the gnarliest moment of his life, almost legit drowned.
You just show so much good humour and attitude in the face of getting absolutely flogged it's awesome to see
Sick video.. I got anxiety like I was trapped in the inside . I don't think I would be able to handle that beating
Thanks for the great surf work out routines, amazing surf sessions and cool cat updates. Much aloha
Thanks Nathan, for me the raw POV is really nice as it brings back a more complete memory of the whole experience that was so profoundly beneficial to my wellbeing back in my younger years. Thank you.
Epic paddle session.....know the feeling he he he and the 1 wave make the day! Awesome vid!
Thanks Nate - dont underestimate things that you may cal everyday chatter with the boys but are gems for us mere mortals - chat as you do and add the cat or you bro's every now and then just to get a little insight but not to lose your personality or uncover the whanau bro - Its All GOOD!!
Duck dive camp yeeee those are the best training days 💪 so when its clean you slay ⚔
Always amazed how quick you make it out there. Your're a human ski mate !💪🚀
Damn! That was heavy! That leash lash in the tail proved to be the least of the worries! This is the kind of shit that would send me to the tourist break at Waikiki! That "Oh, God....." when you knew it was coming.......!!
craziest thing is that when youre old you can look back on memories with all your footage. Unreal.
Holy Cleanup Set !! Epic Session again homie 🤘
Nathan thank you 😃🤙 that was some “made you feel like you were there “ content I was holding my breath with you man wow pleased to hear you laughing at the end tho!
this is so sick to watch! i learn alot. too bad it was a bad session... glad your safe! thanks for sharing🤙
damn, so much power and energy
Yes, loving it!
Hey I remember Nov 21st and 22nd I flew back to cannons,after pipe on the 21st and surfing brother those waves in that part of my life are still my fondest memories but my point is that just one day in your awesome life Nathan super mad respect 🙏
That's gnarly bro, I would have called it a day after the first few duck dives.
That video was Brutal, thanks for sharing
Nathan's pov is so irl : most big days are like this - 5 or 6 hold downs to the line up, a few sketchy wipeouts...you're basically just surviving but those 3 waves you make will be burned in your memory forever...Nathan gives us hope with equipment and float suit breakdowns as well as positions in the lineup ....I would like to see more impact zone situations cover hold down time , oxygen saturation, equilibrium and pace (pacing yourself to conserve energy) ....because Nathan's incredible rides are @ another level 🌊
My phone was literally duck diving with you while I was watching 😅 Epic capture and I’m glad you’re safe🤙🏼 Yewww!!!
Yewww!!!
What doesn’t kill ya, only makes ya stronger 💪🏽
YIKES! A BRUTAL session. 😬 It looks exhausting. And in the midst - beautiful butter lefts.
First love your videos Nathan
I like the way you guys are calling the wave so no one gets cut off :)
second love your videos nathan yes
I love sitting back and letting Nathan do all the paddling.
Crazy session, Nate…I really dig the breakdown and analysis videos. This one offers up a handful of possibilities there lol. It’s a cool perspective getting in to your mind a bit as you find yourself in these various grinders…a bunch of which are pretty damn grindy. For the record, your duck-diving technique might be about as good as I’ve seen from anyone. Clearly that, and some strong ass paddling skills, run in your bloodline. Be safe out there and keep charging brother 🤙🏼
Nothing better than getting caught on the inside with a 7 second interval, on a never ending set 😅😂🤣😂😅 it’s good for the soul brah.
All the colors of the water absolutely beautiful..Blue green terqoice But how unpretty it becomes when getting worked on the inside.. Love your vids NateDog
Your analysis videos are really helpful. I'm the wrong side of 40 and learning to surf so any tips and advice is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to more videos
Turn 47 this week and had second session ever last wk. You’re not alone. I think finding something like this later in life will keep us young. 😂✌️
Man that place is frantic!
Brah I’m bogging and catching cramps just watching this video! 😂
That first barrel you hit was unbelievable I didn’t think you were getting on that wave 🤯
man, any decent size wave if I ate it I'd have to luckily ride the whitewater of the next one back in and walk down to wear I could paddle out. to see you eat it and turn right around and paddle straight into a set is amazing I wrote this before the 7 minute mark where you really got hammered and were you had get back in love these videos
Love your work Nate Dawg Florence!! being from NZ, another pacific island nation, blessed with its own indigenous peeps,(the Maori, but also with Auckland being the largest pacific islander populated city in the world) its incredibly cool to see your part of the world,the vibes, the similarities to here, and of course, most importantly your surfing,,love it love it love it. Thanks for inspiring me to rekindle my own relationship with the ocean much aroha(Maori for love) and mana(Maori for respect) to you and your family,Nick from Nelson, nz
Man your paddling fitness is unreal! You are a big shark out there and like a true apex predator you forgo the ski assist to the weaker fish.
Nate doesn't wait his turn in the lineup, doesn't get dialed in to the rhythm, gets pounded for his sins!
that was rad! reminds me of a particularly bad day i had at black's, which also ended with a broken board... some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.
sometimes you have to buy a new board 💀
Love your vids point of view on point not at all fluff and butter like everybody else you get hammered you got to pay your dues I know that one
Def earned your stipes today. Lots of work. Super heavy conditioning for years I'm sure for days like this.
those board ditchers ahead of you really put you in a bad spot on that big set that broke your board. must be pretty frustrating! well done always maintaining the levity
Epic!!! Was holding my breath with you brother. Awesome footage would be different perspective having a drone filming you also. Could have the POV view then cut to the drone footage. Different perspectives of what you dealing with out there.
Ah, memories. Getting caught inside at any number of breaks on the North side. Nathan, full respect for your rides on bomboras.
Just imagine back in the early 1970's ...no leashes and longer heavier boards so duck diving really couldn't be done... Better now but still this shows how really hard the conditions can be...and the bonus are the rescue skis to help also
I have a question. In general does Pipe break better with an incoming or outgoing tide? How does the push or pull effect the shape of the barrel and even the entry. I know your busy, but if you have a chance it would be appreciated.
This is what a session at pipe would look to me, just getting pommeled and worked allaround
be one with the sand
so much respect for how real you make these videos man, shit ain't fuckin easy! in a time of complete fakery, this is actual reality!
Agree 100%. Perfect antidote to all the fakery. One of the few things left you can’t fake out… the ocean.
Does the decision on what volume/size board you're going to use ever get partially decided on based on the paddle out? i.e. bigger board for more flotation for faster paddle out....
Heavy Nate, pearling at pipe with a go pro on, 1st wave, that made me sick too I don't know of any other footage that shows what that's like
P.O.R.R.A. i s u! Thanks, NF!
Mitochondria working overtime on that paddle out!!!!!
Heavy session! Spent as much time underwater as on top!
Brother.. you inspiring me.. to started first surfing...
You need to paddle out to nelscott reef in Oregon with me one day 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 love your vlogs tho 👍👍👍
Know the flow 😌
Bös heftig 🤘
I’d love to see a video on your 20 mile DW foil run with John. Please
Haha need to do that some hilarious moments from that stuff
Makes me feel better that even the pros get trapped on the inside of the break. Aspiring to have that level of endurance
I remember you posting a while back about double duck diving during bigger waves. If you could go more into depth on that in a later video that would be appreciated
Rajah Dat One, Dat's hau I iz miss da beaches of Oahu 🌅🌊🏄👣 and da ONO KauKau. Mahalo Nui Loa.
This is the kind of session where a few hours later you tilt your head down and water will start pouring out of your nose. Only a surfer knows.. Does this happen to anybody else?
This week was my second session ever. Came home, bent down on knees to look for a dog toy under the couch. Water poured out of nose. How could all that have been in there and didn’t know? Was getting rag-dolled in the crash zone.
It's got to be something to do with the salts in the water, it's weird. Maybe 6 hours after a session and my nose would turn into a tap.
Great show
Paddling through that type of soup is stuff of nightmares. I can’t believe how Nate can plow through that so quickly
Os perrengues que passo aqui, vc passa ai ! Obrigado ! Muitto inspirador !
Love that scream let them know ur from Oahu 🤣
OK... This vid totally, very helpful. I for sure now know, and are totally comfortable with saying, I will probably go to Pipe at some point in my life, I will probably not surf Pipe due to the above video..., but was wondering if you guys need a spare hand?? Food delivery guy? Work cheap? I'm stoked watching you guys freakin rip and you giving so much stoke back. Mahalo & Ohana
I used up all nine of my lives just watching that. Holy shit. I’m winded from holding my breath for 18 minutes.
It literally took him 2 min to reach the line-up ... BRUTAL 👀🔥
So intense geez. Didn’t know I could hold my breath for 18:44 lol
Are you opening your eyes during all this? You said you wear contacts yeah so I can just imagine how uncomfortable this probably is. Major props for staying calm during that whole ending too. That took strength.
Big Island shoots.
Ur surfing!? In mi it's still snowing. I'm jelly
Duck diving clinic!
More bubbles than blue sky.🤣😂
Wow I was like WILSON 😂
the fact that go pro can make pipe look small is insane
Like climbing Everest without supplemental O2!! Total insanity made to look like day n park
Natan, seus vídeo são maravilhosos.
One of the biggest burning question i have is regarding situational awareness and board size. You guys talk about duck diving everything and never bailing the wave, but that's partially enabled by your boards being sufficiently small to dive the $hit out of. What do the guys who ride bigger boards do? What does Jamie do when he's out there on his 9' log? Even some of your buddies and younger guys ride big boards out there that have got to be too big to duck dive for pipe and backdoor. Thinking like, Mason Ho and his 7'+ boards or whatever he rides. Can you comment on that? how do you even get back out if you're stuck and on a big board that can't be dived properly?
I too would like to know this as a beginner surfer who is learning on an 8”
May i suggest after you ride a wave then paddle back to the line up dont cut it i want to watch the real pov the waiting for the wave the conversations and the excitement. Thank man, Bali here
Sick
Hey bro! Its a head mount or a mouth mount?!
Meanwhile every time I swim out to shoot pipe I end up aligned with the ehukai lifeguard stand and have to swim out and around to the lineup💀 crazy conditioning Nathan!
11:16 That ski driver goes from high five to WTF in less than second.
Haha he thought i was gonna run straight into him i had it all under control
dudes life flashed before his eyes
Good Lord!!!!
just three minutes (03:00) from shore to line up in high pipeline....WOW!
I would of been stuffed after the first time you came in the beach, all the training over summer has payed off
EPIC
I also recently had a nightmare session. I ate too many gummy bears and became severely constipated. I wouldn't call myself a hero, but I did push through it.
