Hey Nathan, the bodyboarder is an old friend of mine, his name is Andreas. Australian living in Berlin for years now. Great guy!! Looks like you guys had fun

[@charliemason4925]

Love it. And mad props to old mate sending it as a fellow boog, the energy I get off you being un biased towards bodyboarders gives me hope for the future of slab surfing, whatever shape of the craft, charging is charging

[@mrbeansys]

Cold water surfing is extremely difficult used to hate surfing in the winter in Ireland when i was beginning but strange thing happens after a while you fall in love in the pain and struggle. Honestly impressed how easy you adapted to the cold brother:)

[@relaxingsounds5469]

As a year round surfer in the Pacific Northwest I can confirm… by the end of winter you really feel like you accomplished something lol

[@Axel-rs5xt]

Ireland water does not get cold, how do you think I feel surfing the north sea at 6 degrees

[@juanmartinreborati7928]

Beautiful place!

[@NathanFlorence]

totally agree with you! something about the extra struggle makes it all feel more worth it, and i got super fkn fit paddling in the cold with all the rubber on!

[@Yahuah780]

@@NathanFlorence praise Lord Jesus Christ Almighty 🙏❤️ 24/7!

[@kayandmarcos3271]

This could be my new fav vlog of yours and I pretty sure it's because of your wife natural reactions to your surfing and how you edited it to feel real organic by, for example chosing non distracting background music which volume didn't overpower your wife's reaction to your surfing and the sound of the waves and nature. Bravo!

[@brilliantgalaxy]

..Mahina's infectious sweet smile & giggles adds sparks to your Amazing video..brings a smile!! Thanks for taking us along on the journey!

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

agreed the first music is "banish misfortune" here is a link to the tune kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoeVamSfqs6kosU

[@ascotia]

This is my favorite vlog of yours I've seen. First time ever hearing Celtic music paired with surfing, and the landscape shots were so awe-inspiring that I actually got unexpectedly emotional taking it all in. What an amazing place.

[@Ernie2249]

I remember getting to watch this session in person, me and my mate hiding behind one of the windmills trying to get out the way of the freezing wind and rain haha. Was sick getting to watch you and the bodyboarder trade waves on such a gnarly slab🤙

[@2richants]

His surfing bloody good but his paddling always stands out. He made the paddle out look so easy when it could have got ugly real quick. Seems like all that training pays off.

[@NathanFlorence]

thanks boss! paddling in all that rubber took some getting used to but once i did it was on!

[@benupton2457]

That's what I was thinking! Like at 8:11 that could've gone really nasty if the duckdive was mistimed, but Nate made it look so effortless!

[@weareyouthere]

Yeah the entry was sketchy with the second duck dive, timed well and with a bit of luck.

[@paintingsofwaves_mikewoning]

Watch out for the foam: it can be deadly… if you get pushed into even deeper foam where you can’t get on top of by sitting up, you can suffocate. Happened to 5 Dutch very able surfers 2 years ago in a freak accident! Cheers for another great vid!

[@tonelok]

Nearly drowned above water in really big surf near Trestles years back. Freaked me out for sure. It's like the surfing equivalent of a tree well.

[@zachscott4867]

@ToneLok Well said and when you know, you know.

[@Spin-U]

yeah, the surface can be tricky. Once I duck dived and landed under a loaf of seaweed and was stuck under it. I had to get off my board and slide next to my board and later exit.

[@Rascularvideos]

Yeah, I remember that happening as well. Foam can be very bad news.

[@Pietjekk]

Thought about Scheveningen and the 5 men who drowned right away when he started about paddling in the foam. Be careful out there Thanks for the great video 🙌

[@wasabiginger6993]

Loving these edited treasures from last year … Mahina & you are a great team. Musical selections perfect adding some humor for anyone insane enough to surf this frkn cold stuff … you don’t see Mahina out there do you? She’s sane, thankfully. Gorgeous slabs of geological formations! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@wallyvoight659]

Nathan, I Love your enthusiasm and love for your "Mat". She's a keeper!!

[@stephenr3010]

Love the glove rant!! A good tip for solo sessions in freezing weather is to bring a cooler full of hot water and leave it by your car when you go out. When you get in put your hands and feet in it to regain feeling, then you have enough dexterity to get your wetsuit unzipped (to unlock the car and get your suit/gloves/booties off)!

[@bobbressler231]

One response about unexpected emotion, was spot on, something about Celtic music does that to about everyone, my oldest son learned to play bagpipes, and every time I hear him play, I'm in tears, but back to this vlog, nice job Nate, crazy too, is that rock there looks like a quarry for castle building, too cool, this was definitely one of your best

[@Rogue_wave]

Love the music, the scenery, the charging! Great episode.

[@flasponge]

My fav VLog besides, Barley...Straight up charging in heavy water, No bullshit and no hype, Stoked to see organic content like this growing!!!!

[@ParkingLotBacon]

Unity. Thanks Nathan. Your inclusion of boogs and other wave riders is very appreciated. Helps more than you know.

[@aj-li4ly]

Beautiful drone footage! And what a blessing your wife is, she’s enjoying herself as well, you can tell!

[@ianmoone316]

The table like slab of the shoreline revealing the slab below. A bonafide slab break and a chill that could kill. A very artful presentation. I was mesmerized by the surroundings and in awe of the boldness to surf such a place. Well Done.

[@blacksheep_e0]

As a bodyboarder, that gentleman is luckyyyyy! Imagine getting to have a session with Nathan Florence, randomly lol cool video as always

[@IMGDirect]

Might need to do some more vlogs together. Some surfing experiences shared between you two. Good quality wholesome entertainment 🙏🏼🤙🏼👌🏼

E P I C vlog man. The end almost looks like where Thanos threw off Gamora for the Soul Stone, the "Ultimate Sacrafice". Look at me sounding like a movie diehard and i dont even like Avengers much, just couldnt help myself. That place at night with a storm is probably eerie as all hell. Epic break too, love seeing you be-friend a booger(as i am one myself!). Seemed like a chill down to earth dude. He charged it and got some bombs, those pits he was in prob were some gnarly views man. All with no booties or gloves sheeesh. The wifey is a legend for staying out and recording, thank you! Be safe guys!

[@C4backjump]

Yes Andreas! He told me he met you and surfed with each other. Mad to see the video finally

[@NathanFlorence]

[@ericmeechglobalnetwork2273]

Very cool… great surfing and those kids were stoked to meet up with you!!

[@futtspoppin6348]

When u surf real waves it unites surfers & bodyboarders, u kind of want others to b around cuz something could easily happen. Big ups to that dude for joining

The color of the water there, just beautiful.

[@scottburrow8717]

The shoreline at that place is gorgeous. One of the best.

[@benstradling7615]

Dude you've got to get mittens they keep your hands much warmer because all your fingers are together plus less seems along with more paddle power .

[@peterpage9017]

You should tour New Zealand. Would be a sick vlog

[@NathanFlorence]

hopefully be there for all of april may

[@joeskienz]

@@NathanFlorence That's the best time of the year to come cos you can get swells from both the north and south and the water is still warm. The whole country fires. Highly recommend Northland, Raglan, Gisborne, Taranaki, Dunedin and The Catlins.

[@seblivefloormanager]

Cold cold cold! I used to surf all year round in UK until I tasted warmer foreign winter waves 🤣 Props to Mahina for staying out in the wet and cold to get your footage. "I'm committed to you babes." Sums up your gorgeousness as a couple 💕 As other comments have already said, it is so impressive that you're prepared to do such cold waves. Thanks for another great vid Nate. I hope you're able to surf again now and start creating new footage. Lots of love to both of you from the UK 🤙✨️🙏😍

[@mattw5684]

It's nice to hear and see Mahina. Maybe you should hire her as your voiceover narrator in addition to your filmer?

[@ephemeris1970]

what a cracking vid, cheers to the Aussie on the boogie, and cheers for saying 'legend' and 'unit' in our vernacular, I'm sure you're forgiven for forgetting his name ☺

That is one heavy slab boys!! You guys are way core to charge it along with the cold water!!! Good on ya lads!!! 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 👍

I’m not a surfer but a technical diver and this reminds me of a dive I did in Iceland. There is truly something special about the pain that makes the payoff unexplainable.

[@oldschoolwaverider]

@6:45 I find mitts or lobster claw gloves improve paddling, and because fingers are together they are much warmer.

[@TPJN777]

When that music kicked in...😭😂😂😂😂

[@njonebale7889]

Gloves are good, not those five fingers…only lobster claws!…gets way cold over here…lows in the high 30’s… once it goes below 60 over here I’m the first one in the full gear, hood up…everything and I don’t peel nothing off until at least May! Great video!

[@0warami_7oo]

are the claw gloves better ? I wear gloves but not tried the claws in Australia

[@njonebale7889]

@@0warami_7oo up here in New Jersey we all wear the lobster claws, they are warmer because your four fingers make the water warmer then individually, and you can get a big stroke when paddling.

[@johnswimcat]

That's a seriously difficult break. I'd say you'd need to watch it for a while then choose the correct take off point, either left or right, to stand any chance of making it, no matter how good you are. It's tempting but it will slam you if you take off in the peak. Whitemill Point, a reef stretching far out to sea at the right hand end of Whitemill Bay, and Scar Farm, another reef, on Sanday, Orkney are worth checking out, same swells as Thurso
