[@scottv6726]

It's truly amazing how much ground you DON'T lose in those duck dives. 😊

[@dreammaker9642]

If it’s pretty much just Nathan and John in the line up, you know the conditions are just straight up cursed 😂

[@user-gk1lo6ni1b]

yup

[@tommathews3964]

You guys spend so much time in the washing machine and make it look like nothing! Mad respect! Love the duck diving shots! You were hardly losing anything and that was heavy water! Those waves just would not stand up and hollow out! Thanks for sharing your craft is such a beautiful way!

[@vocalimpactplays217]

One of the coolest parts of the nose cam imo is getting to see the duck dive form, especially with how quick Nate gets down to the board when those things are crashing just over top of it!

[@AndrewCooperr]

These raw sessions with you and your brothers are definitely some of my favorite videos you put out

[@AtortAerials]

You guys are in such kick ass shape most have no clue how hard it is to swim in those slabbing sandbar bombs.

[@speargearreviews.7809]

Your duck dives defy physics.

[@troy6153]

They can go wrong exp big swells Getting sucked over oooooooooo😮

[@NathanFlorence]

Foot dives only!

[@smelltheglove2038]

It’s all about timing and form.

[@beachthor1]

He comes up faster than I’d expect!

[@beachthor1]

Also that’s what she said

[@brad7801]

That duckdive at 1:38 is beyond crazy! Making it look like 2ft anywhere rather than a gnarly North Shore sandbank! so sick ..or is it Rockpiles? It's that secret pocket just in front of the whitewater explosion eight?

[@DavidSmith-lj1yz]

Now thats a nice workout! Should be mandatory watching for newer surfers...great job!

[@lnr12241]

Absolutely love the view and sounds of the ocean

[@17363]

I only want to watch Ivan..period….

[@berone1642]

this level of surfin (incl duck divin!) in such big slab is just incredible!

[@NathanFlorence]

Full depth duck dives this day!

[@mikejames987]

You're gonna have to give us another duck dive tutorial please....we need more tips please

[@wasabiginger6993]

Wow gorgeous insanely powerful fast freight train explosions! Thanks for sharing

[@mcm4981]

Fun to watch... all alone out there, just the sound of the waves.

[@Bmx33606]

I love seeing the power of the wave from underneath like the shot you had at 2:10ish.

[@southernrainforest]

yes need more underwater action. Nate what about an underboard camera to show what is going on below?

[@fzxman1]

Wow! This spot can be sketchy when it's slabby! Some bombs out there! Mahalo for sharing, I thoroughly love beautiful blue side-offshore barrels.! ;)

[@jarrodwalker696]

Those duck diving skills are next level!

[@Pompomgrenade]

It's awesome to see such greatness... And think of Jerry Lopez 😵‍💫 looking at that lightning bolt ⚡ History may not repeat but it does rhyme❤

[@southernrainforest]

This is why I watch, seeing the best in their natural environment. Loved the duck diving and would appreciate more underwater footage, how the reef forces the waves, fins slicing through the wave. Would rather watch that than talking heads inside or on the beach Thanks for the videos , appreciate your commitment Nate, what about putting a camera under the board?

[@amp7816]

Nathan riding those big waves reminds me of a bull rider having fun. JJF riding them same waves looks like he’s bullying the bull while having fun doing it….if that makes sense. Florence bros are all 🔥🤙🏽

[@ocwronski]

You charge brother!! Love watching your videos🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@seancallahan1312]

I love this video. I used to be so insistent, like "I'm gonna duck dive this, no matter what!" It got to a limit when I was out at Middle Peak lefts. Big set, peak shifting West (you think North, but it's West, toward Its or Mitchells) catches me right in the zone, snapping an 8' 6" Steve Colletta pintail with a quarter-inch stringer right in my hands, and just punches me down through the deck of my board. The ones that shift West break further out. The same size wave shifting East towards the wharf are the big ones that march way inside before breaking. Anyway that's how you waste a beautiful 8' 6". Colletta boards were insane. I can't surf anymore cause of old injuries so videos are it for me.

[@benjaminlassalle3347]

For me, a low tier average Joe who prays that there is nobody behind me when a 6 feet soft wave is coming, that s amazing to see how skilled you are..!

[@Ejazzle]

Really really like how you guys put this together team zoarthan❤

[@OldManMick]

Still am in awe of the fitness of you lads!

[@xyzct]

I was laughing today thinking about Nate's story about "mountain biking" with John. Too funny.

[@Fishifyed]

Those water and drone shots were sickkkkk!

[@whitecloud3356]

Hey super congratulations for all the awards and videos I've enjoyed again super mad respect 🙏 Nathan

[@NathanFlorence]

Much appreciated!

[@danfearon1343]

Watching from Canada with envy. Wish I could surf and was in Hawaii right now.

[@hman7236]

Real foamy homie🤙thanks for another one .

[@frankthomas1983]

😆yall are crazy keep it up stay strong Zoard the Board

[@jonathanhalloran5350]

The take off at 3:29 looked suspiciously Mullaghmoorish. Thought you were GOOOoooone!

[@thesportsmanager5002]

I love all your videos I’ve been watching you for 3 years I just came to Oahu and I wish I could meet you

[@surf_spotter]

You guys are sick!!! Aloha from Terceira slab 😎

[@jorenkienholz3707]

So sick......keep charging.....stay stoked no matter what

[@Nervexless]

Legendary 🤙

[@wildhareonthegulfofmexico3539]

Holy shit, I'm so there.....incredible edit.

[@pyzelphantom4355]

[@davidhavard1908]

That duck dive sequence was narly . The beard is your floatation.

[@smelltheglove2038]

Gnarly.

[@morgandaviesmusic.]

Vibes! Duckdive footage from the GoPro on the board super useful 🙏Ivan's bomb at 11:07

[@jstnjstnjstnjstn]

it's so simple but how amazing and quick it is to identify john john's steez, as a human who's not surfed in 20 years, i'm always blown away by his style. Not to dog on Nathan, i'd love to see him rock his brother.

[@UpTheCatters]

Ivan without a doubt the most steezy of the 3

[@sunsensational]

I wish I could duck dive like you. I feel like I get down as deep, but take three steps backwards, and you take one step forward. I need to rewatch your duck dive 101 vids

[@davidjackson2179]

Seriously. Nathan turns into a submarine every duck dive and somehow moves forward like 10 feet where most people get sucked back a few lol. Ridiculous athleticism.

[@smelltheglove2038]

You gotta let the boards buoyancy take you forward. It’s less about going deep and more about letting the board propel you forward.

[@NathanFlorence]

@@davidjackson2179 momentum and using foot to push deep and body to propel forward!

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

13:50 dude I almost spit my coffee haha

[@mattkaylor6212]

Second duck dive was masterful 🤙🏼🦘

[@lucasmulvehill6300]

Nate I think you have a different mission to push the craziness, I appreciate that and I think your awesome, and I think pipe is a slab

[@punkrocklegends2091]

Another level of survival!

[@amp7816]

Let’s go!! E Hoʻonui iā ʻAmelika i ka Nui Hou 🤙🏽

[@pdublt3d]

Made that paddle out look easy af

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Chopper looks dangerous with that knife.

[@dingus2218]

Nate & slabs goes down better than a morning coffee and spray

[@mrmr314]

Well Ehukai and all its other waves (they are mostly pretty close) are right out the front so it's no wonder you can ride them well. It's been a good year too hasn't it.

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@nahuelmendez1325]

2:10 that is such a cool shot

[@gregstarr2878]

ONE CLANK lolol. Yeah Boyz 🤙☘️. G⭐🤙☘️

[@ubetucan2747]

Looks like one of those extra special sessions. You really should value time spent with family in these circumstances. These become cherished memories as you get older. Freeze frame @5:45, extraordinary shot. Kudos to the cameraman!

[@jorenkienholz3707]

Never lose that smile of pure stoke brother without it none of it matters

[@richieursomarso495]

That was some excellent garbled gibberish while chewing the energy bar. Never seen you do that before. You’re just a freaking multitalented freak.

[@NathanFlorence]

Glad you enjoyed it!😂

[@PetePOV]

This is incredible and just inspires me more and more to keep making POVs, even though I'm an old school surfer

[@lapela13]

gnarlyyyyyyyy

[@jorenkienholz3707]

Your videos are epic bro your brothers and u fu$!ing charge and rip doing it......much respect from Santa Cruz nor cal

[@johnlacey155]

I never became a very good surfer, but I surrre learnt how to duckdive! Hence why I live vicariously through NF's videos 😂

[@rogerdat7807]

Captain Slabtastic...

[@Bryan-jd7os]

So much fun! Where is this wierd little (macking) wonder wave? Some weird North Shore sandbar?

[@karensmith7289]

Hey Nate you should try wim hof with a whole durry that’s what we usually do to get ready for lunas.

[@MoskNJ]

Zoardies just shy 🤭

[@AnimeDimension]

Crazy waves bigs and fats xd 😎🤙🌊💥

[@Pompomgrenade]

2:15😂 for anyone that never has... Had to duck dive... That's what it is 🌊 what It is 🥴 The only hope to get out is to keep paddling and paddling and paddling 😅

[@Jesse-hk8ls]

That other guy surfs pretty good too.

[@DIVINGSTRONGER]

Ayo Nat you’re a damn savage. I love it.

[@NathanFlorence]

Haha thanks boss

[@DIVINGSTRONGER]

@@NathanFlorence 🥰🤙🏽

[@elnavanrensburg4326]

During the first 50 seconds you sound exactly like Mumbles aka Ed Bassmaster 😂

[@Pompomgrenade]

⚡🌊🪄🪓 missed. But what a great beat down😂

[@user-gk1lo6ni1b]

where in scotland is this?

[@yommmrr]

Damn i miss surfing. I even miss being ragdolled in a big white water.

[@cbs577]

❤

[@applegatearts]

As usual, very good video. Keep enjoying life!!

[@sagespalding1958]

Big northy rockpiles is terrifying

[@nickhoward9343]

👍👍

[@MrToppox]

😈😈😈 nice 😈😈😈

[@ToRung]

*_hello 😍💝🌹 have a nice day_*

[@beachthor1]

One time I was surfing logs and saw Nathan fletcher catch a rock pile right and pull into the most mutant barrel I’ve ever seen.

[@__________Z3R0___________00]

I’m not gonna lie I learn a lot from ur surfing

[@NathanFlorence]

Stoked on that

[@Y_M1967]

JF pretty much carves on a wave like he’s snowboarding.

[@optiboy8054]

i need content more often

[@framed166]

I'm curious with the whole Bet online thing. Does that mean I can bet on how many sets Nate takes on the head? 🤣

[@stevenfall1208]

Do you enjoy getting somewhere without 'your' boards, and using local boards, or not? Thanks

[@NathanFlorence]

It did make the score that much better, i dont like surfing dangerous waves on equipment i am unsure of, but forcing it to work and getting a good one was actually awesome! I did enjoy it!

[@LilleyAdam]

Hey Nate, can you do a vid of downwind foiling?

[@NathanFlorence]

100% i will!

[@christophediederichs218]

First Bouya ! Lets go boooys

[@jadeowenhamblyn4405]

This is next to rocky point?

[@drewfinn2]

a nice wholesome vibe at the end…sort of. Zoard just say “i am ur best bro” then Buddy will swipe u w his claws from the gallows 😼

[@AyEsGee]

Was this actually a slab? Seem like really deep water and not very slabby compared to other vids? Just curious not throwing shade

[@Zero.0ne.]

It's funny how Hawaii waves have a different shape and color than anywhere else in the world. They're powerful, hard to duckdive, and the currents are chaotic.

[@lavapix]

Hips can be replaced. No big deal. Don't know how you duck-dive some of those monsters. A 2 footer sucked me back over this morning.

[@CHillAdventures]

Hey bro!!! I'm coming to Hawaii next month,,& ive yet to surf an ocean wave, Lake Michigan is frozen and I can't surf here, u wana show me a few spots?!?!?! Help me get barreled? I'll put u in my vid 🤪🌊💨lmk!!

[@jerrybow8779]

Is koa still out of the water?

[@adamgamez3471]

Gnarly

[@scottymac5174]

Knowing when to duck dive. Being in deeper water. Waiting.

[@denniskelly8918]

Any body else notice the shark getting worked on the paddle out? Second wave of the paddle out, you can see it finning the surface

[@dingus2218]

Yo Nate do you have to book two plane seats for those nuts or what?

[@tomsear1]

0:33 yer mother told I not to talk with yer mouth full dude! 😂

[@kenjoseph-bw5bo]

Slaby slabs

[@andrewmccabe3349]

is John still riding the ghost in conditions like this?

[@deejay-su7uf]

Meanwhile....!.GROM..
