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.
Yes. x2 Role model for young and old. Respect.
or just didn't have the air rescue tel # yet. could see needing a helicopter for a rescue there.
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 !!
Heavy slabs breaking metres from dry reef… Nate: There’s no one out! 😂
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.
Cant stop, wont stop, these slabs must be ridden. Keep doing what ya doing legend, the surf world has so much respect for what you do.
Bad boy...ungh ungh, ungh ungh
Preach it CS 🙌🏽 the Slabs must be ridden
Nice work young man. Stay blessed
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🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love this channel it's like job 2.0 taken to the next plannet....level Absolutely 1st class capture and edits guaranteed to get your heart pumping your breathing heaving...#1 slab attacks on Web
I watched this in my truck in parking lot at my home break in Canada...it looked colder and windier there!!! Then you pulled out the 6'0 !! Ballsy Nate the Knifechucker 😂
I feel like that last song was definitely in one the pirates of the Caribbean movies 😂 such a heavy slab! Slab Tour 24’ would be some sick merch 😮
Unreal, it must a been a dream come true to have only 3 guys out! Mahalo!!!
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!
So stoked to see the full day, shows the amount of work you put into scoring. Thanks for always putting out the best surf content.
Súper video and the slab…yujuuuuuu.
That morning was like twice as big!! Mental! Surfer of the year, but Nate is really just a surfer in the purest of definitions!!!!
Watching you nate gets me so stoked, especially in tough times like this in Israel. Love bro
Awesome surfing, footage, cut and music! Always love the chit chat start and finish 🤙
Nate, I’m 51 and you inspire me to get back out there chasing perfect waves. Thank you, you goddamn legend you. 🤙🏽🌊 be safe out there brother!
44 here and same f-ing message. Now I just have to get my body into shape to paddle into something more than a chest high grinder.
Your stoke gets us all stoked Nate - absolutely love it!
Great surfing at a gnarly break! Thanks for the adventure, Nate.
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.
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!
Nate! Please continue to conquer these beasts! Amazing conquest, magnificent journey.
I've been loving the surfing, wave hunting, travel content.
Love the choice of music… you guys are always on point with that!
Love the slab tour the best thing on KZhead you’re a legend nate!
The amount of shots on the sandals really lightened the mood on how sketchy those barrels were couldn’t stop laughing everytime
So good, the surfing, the filming, the editing, the music!. (It’s cool to use local music for cultural ambiance)
The music was epic and was perfect for the spot
Always pushing it. Amazing!
Brilliant as always Nate!
There is nothing like seeing Nathan tackle the gnarliest seas by him self. Such a legend. Look forward to seeing you score a big one here
Great waves. Portugal Rocks and so do you Nathan!
The amount of skill it takes to tackle a wave like this is incredible. I think, without a doubt Nat is by far the best technical surfer of all time. It is amazing to watch him size up these waves. remarkable 🙏 🙏
Those Slab sets looked like bangers man! You wave selection is an art form man... I would have got mashed mate! Epic sesh pal!
He finally did it! A slab vid that I DIDNT think damn that soundtrack was perfect
CAVE is HEAVY HEAVY! Great judgement holding back Nate. Keep going - Be careful!
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.
I've never seen Nathan paddle out and paddle back in without catching a wave. Now that certainly says something about the spot.
Nate “its so sketchy” Also Nate” I think I’ll work on my airs”
Such a nice heavy slab. I like how its a little inclined sloping up towards the land. Definately hand you a solid beating.
That was so sick at 13.10 and 13.23. The medieval battle music is perfect for these rogue waves.
Nathan always ready to shred some gnar, be safe Master, 🤙🏼 slab tour gallore, Nate show us the cats of Portugal 🤙🏼
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.
The Irish tunes are still with you, even in Portugal.🤣🤣
How awesome. Loved the Portuguese tunes too
Best surfer out there! Big respect Nathan.
Thanks for keeping surfing core Nathan. None of this froo froo wack nonsense, just full on charging. You the man
What an inspiration Nathan. Enjoy your stay in PT
Dude when a wave looks HUGE from the top of the cliff....you know thats gonna be a monster!
Epic ! Well done mate 😇
pumped for this!!
Was that a commercial for sandals 👡 😂. Great edit Nate. Mad respect for staying safe on first session. We need you around!
great session. what a wave.
Nathon, you're a monster! Stay safe and loving your journey!
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.
Dude. It was exploding directly on about a foot of water. Ultimate sketch.
portugal finaly i love this
13:52 what A footage Nathan !!!! 💨 cheers man
Nate, My wife and I love Portugal and are seriously thinking of moving there. Probably up by Porto area. Love seeing these edits!! thanks. P.S. Koa said you killed him with your workout. I'd never even try your workout... you're a freaking animal!!
Robert & everyone check out Portugal Big wave surfer chan Nic Von Rupp...excellent vids on surfing all over Portugal.
You have inspired me to start my POVs again ❤
Dawg… first paddle out was eerieeeeeeee
Sick footage 👌
Lookin forward to this!
Awesome... 2nd section was gettin deep! Sweet
Like that big air at end of that barrel.Just a sick session!
we need like hour long vlogs, 15-20min just not enough😂😂😂
So gnarly. Big respects
Holy Guacamole 😮 That scared this grandma to death. Yikes Stripes 😳 You men are something to watch. Amazing photography. The views from the GoPro and the beach are breathtaking. Y'all are crazy , outstanding and badass.
Love the Litmus vibes on this 😀
the road to the second surfer of the year starts here
You slab pirates are the greatest sailors the oceans have seen 🏴☠️
That 1st paddle out must've been something and tbh the waves looked downright evil. Good call to come in when you did.
Heavy paddle line out~Go buddy!
That steezy floater 3 bomb was nast
"Just a coupla dudes being bros" 😂😂😂😂😂 nice!!!
Another great video
I knew that thaat spot works solid!!!! thanks to gave me the proof!
Fantastic surfing and decision making
Surfer of the year ⛳
All I can say is PROPS! Paddling out at this nasty looking break alone is very sketchy! Nice to see you had some buddies show up. 🤙🏼
Nathan good job! Heavy comonnn
What a scary one ! come to surf in Hossegor this winter ^^
Excellent Footage 😳😳😳🌊🌊🌊
The epic music gets me every time. Feel like I should be watching Conan the barbarian surf.
natenan of north shoremeria, death slab hunting for crum and his trusty sidekick, subatai
You are an animal bro! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yep it looked dangerous. Probably too cold for sharks at least . lol. I think the rocks in the lineup had priority.Well done mate.
Happy days 🤙🌊🤙
AirNathan show. Nice 360..
wow...good call on the first session. i kept saying 'no way'...that's not surfable. i don't think even a body boarder would have survived those pits...breaking right on the rocks! i'm anxious to see the second paddle out.
Back in the mid 80s I surfed Reef and have a scar on my shin to prove it, we used to walk up to the cave to bake and mind surf that crazy wave, no one had the cajones to paddle put It reminds me of the indicator at Nias.
Insane scary entrance, dry reef😮😮😮
Just watching your clips should put the fear into most surfers. Stay safe out there Nathan. You sure are putting the wsl to shame. Be sick if you and others like you had a real slab tour. Way better entertainment then Huntington and trestles. Alohas and mahalos for sharing your experiences
Sick dude
That barrel at 13:40 😮 EPIC 🔥
Nate the barbarian . The Slab Destroyer. Coming to a Theater Near u
Bro was best decision I seen you make, thanks for paddling in on that first sesh was too gnarly i was thinking sub conscious he shouldn’t be out there alone, jet ski assist would be good
EPIC🔥
Brutal ⚡️🍻🏋🤘
Man, tough entry into that wave
I can't believe how shallow that wave is. In first clips was breaking on almost dry reef 🤯. Glad you didn't go on any in that first session
