I only ever had one board at a time in my life, couldn't afford two, but I was once blessed, in '83, with a magic 5' 10" square tail thruster with a beautiful rainbow-like design underneath, white on top. Nothing was ever the same afterward. She could only just hold me but she just did whatever I wanted. It was literally magic. She never failed me. I failed her many times but when I read the wave right and went to the very limit of my ability, she just did it. It was never a struggle. I thought it: she did it. The max size wave i have ever ridden was 12' and she handled them well. Only one little wobble on a tough take off, ever. Yet she could even do 2-3'. And I broke her. :( I went paddling into a place I knew I shouldn't and landed up with the wave smashing her full length on a dry reef. Nothing was ever the same afterwards. My next board was a 6' 2" but she couldn't handle even the 12' waves as well. The magic was never there again.

@@greatbriton8425 i feel this! When you get that magic board they are so special! So heartbreaking when they go, and they go fast because we cant stop riding them! Every session we gotta use them they are that good then they go and no matter how good the shaper they never are the same in replication

@@NathanFlorence Struth. You can bring a Magic Board back to a shaper. It never can be truly replicated. Maybe one of those things that makes surfing different. Everybody gets the same, regulation basketball, soccer ball, even bicycle in the Olympics. Your shaper....there are no shaper regulations in surfing.

@woodnbikes Ай бұрын

Mine was a 6' 4" HIC shaped in the 90's . Could do no wrong on that board. Then , on groundhogs day in 2001, my roommate decided to burn the house down..... I ain't been right since

Nathan, I have commented on your content many times earlier but not so much lately. Regardless, I just want to say how much I appreciate what you do - it is SO f'in impressive ! In 1997 I was on a sailboat doing a circumnavigation and was at Tahiti and Namotu. I was smart enough to pass on Teahopuu and there was no swell when we were in Fiji but we did catch a lot of fish ! As a 65 year old dude that surfed for the majority of my life (45+ years) but can't anymore due to residual effects of cancer (I almost died in 2016) - I LIVE for the content that you and others produce, and I can't thank you enough. It keeps me stoked and engaged in the surf culture that I love so much. Keep on keeping on and I will keep following you, Mason, Jamie, Koa and so many others that make me so happy watching y'alls content. Just a big shout out and thank you brother ! Be safe and keep ripping !

I love being able to bring you guys along as much as possible for those that cant now! Glad you survived cancer! Sailing trip sounds awesome my brother and i were just discussing a new sail trip adventure with him!

Nathan surfs the widest variety of slabs and tricky waves of maybe anyone in the world. The understanding and chops that each different spot requires, not just surfing but ocean saavy, is so considerable. I hope he stays healthy and on consistent top of conditioning.

@user-wu1xe3hg4w Ай бұрын

probably has some of the best instincts in relation to what you're saying in the world if not THE top. edit: and we're blessed he can and does translate his experiences verbally for his veiwer's/fans deeper understanding which is also a rare gift for any professional in any field. not to mention we get the pleasure of witnessing dudes experiences on the reg.

@roguebossa Ай бұрын

@@user-wu1xe3hg4w that's a lot of chops and he brings them to us. Pipeline is a perfect teacher, brutal unpredictable and spectacular. His skills echo that wave, I used to surf next door at Pupukea, been to Pipe and I have seen it. Handle that and you have a tool bag.

As you said, you had that Epic Indo day about as completely dialed-in as anyone possibly could--you explored an unknown slab in the morning 🌄, you compensated for a snapped stick in double up conditions by surfing on a "Zombie" repaired surfboard in the early afternoon with expertise & style, and later on in the afternoon really charged on the step up in massive surf...then for the evening session you cruised into some slick barrels, with the occasional decapitation, which everyone was getting served that day...&, because of proper application of a sunscreen & a full rash guard, you accomplished all that without so much as a sunburn or board rash>>>truly masterful surfing 🏄‍♀️

Dick Brewer and Skip Harmon (both deceased now ) used to have the old Hanapepe Surf Shop, mid 60s. Skip Harmon sold me this board he had made for himself. Remember, this was, like, 1970. It was a 5'10" twin pin tail , tri fin. It was the second most fun board I ever had. That thing could really squirt all over South shore waves! RIP Skip & RB

Nathan, As most people do, I check everyday for a new vid. Easily the best Channel on KZbin. I think you are tied with JJ as best surfer on planet. Boy, you have a gold mine in Mahina, you really need to feature her in any way possible. My wife and I watched her attack giant ) waves on your board more than once. You do a fantastic job with music and the edit. Keep at the guitar, you will get it one day soon. Thank you for all the flight miles, the hard paddles, the heavy beatdowns, the fantastic surfing you do, all of it. We the viewing audience, wait on pins and needles for the next vid. Thought you might like to know that. Way more Mahina please.

You should start a channel called The Nathan Storm Chaser Crew where you travel the world chasing every good hurricane swell around the world with a cool and colorful surf team similar to the new Twister Movie. Have a special storm chaser truck and equipment and a cool film crew in the mix. Way more entertaining than the boring Pro tour.
