[@hanhendriks1915]

That's one bit of angry water, glad you made it out in one piece.

[@laurenjager297]

Praying for your sleep!🙏 I just had my cervical epidural on Tuesday & am pain free for the 1st time in over a year.. since the stupid fusion. I don't sleep. Thank gawd for Cordychi & reishi 🍄 mushroom power!

Shot out to the Florence brand that i support and wear. Special shot out to Mom Florence for being the origin of the fun we all now get to enjoy. Thanks to the whole crew behind the lenses and to the Beautiful Mrs. Florence for the amazing presentation.

[@NathanFlorence]

@@hman7236 shoutout to you for the support of the brand and us and enjoying the videos!

[@hman7236]

@@NathanFlorencethanks for the ride

[@Sol_Weird]

The second half of the video was a perfect compliment to show why you would get a prestigious award like that. Congrats Nate, watching you the last 4ish years has definitely been fun but also inspiring dude.

[@bernardomenasche419]

Nate, you’re the man. Thanks for coming to brazil and show our waves. Please keep coming, there are so many good waves and slabs here in Rio de Janeiro. “Laje da ilha da mãe” is another wave that you have to surf

[@santzying]

[@butter7734]

Lol at waves. A washing machine aren't waves.

[@grandsupremetoru558]

Nate has kicked major goals in life, Absolute legend to the sport of surfing, One of the biggest Surfing YT content creators, Co-owner of a business with his family, Married an absolute stunning wife, Travels on tour all over the world on the regular. An inspiration to all!! Big ups Nate! Living the dream!

[@sunlovesailing]

It’s official, you are the award winning maniac surfer of all time! That shit was nuts!!! Only a real waterman could come out of that alive!

[@marcelocavalcante4831]

I live 5 minutes drive from this beach. I've seen monstrous waves there.

[@barramundi1479]

Man I love the success story that is the Florence brothers. The epitome of hard work, belief, natural talent meeting opportunity, which as we all know is nothing without the grind, the hard stuff. Beautiful partners supporting the dream……a recipe for a generational shift in all things surfing. So good. 👌

[@jgonsalk]

This is INSANE. I can't believe you went out there. I had to call an ambulance and get some life guards to help me here at home just watching the video.

[@wyatt1476]

Broster this one had me flinching from my couch. Absolutely mental !!!

[@finzfan47]

YA NATE NATE NATE NATE. Been following you for about 5 years now and seen the progress and commitment. I am not a surfer but I found your videos during a super vulnerable time where things could have gone one of two ways, you definitely inspired me to put in the hard work and chose the right path. You deserve it all and more. Psssss also one of the most well read surfers of all time and other readers can tell.

[@NathanFlorence]

@@finzfan47 appreciate the comment and it makes me happy you found your way to a better path out of some dark times, it can happen to any of us and we all do experience highs and lows, ive had my fair share of both! The lows are are as low as the highs are high, but we must forge on like Guts from my favorite new manga/anime Beserk!! If you havent checked it out you should its dark but awesome!

[@finzfan47]

@@NathanFlorence I really appreciate the response! I will definitely check out the reading rec too. Enjoy Brazil!

[@PrometheanBlade]

@@NathanFlorencebro! You’re a struggler too? How rad is that. Fantastic reference there.

[@NathanFlorence]

@@PrometheanBlade struggle! endure!

[@NoQuarterfordems]

Slab surfing is an addiction which takes big huevos, and that's a proper slab bradda 🤟 sick content in your vids, stay safe because chasing slabs is dangerous business.

[@jaydickey1049]

Dude was at the front of the line when they passed out the huevos for sure....

[@andrewiangillies]

I've watched you ride some awe inspiring waves in the last few years, but for me....as a watcher....I felt this to be the wildest. Lord knows how you were feeling!

[@Pacorcrull]

What a spot…the home has the most amazing back yard and cantilevered patio. Nathan, your ability to find motion is blissfully amazing. TYVM JJ I & N

[@GreenTacoma44]

A true waterman. It takes knowledge to surf something as chaotic as Shock.

[@sunrealclothing]

Glad you lived through that insane surf Nathan! That's possibly your gnarliest surfing ever! Grit & rip bro! 🤘😎

[@Live2Surf]

Nathan. You are a great surfer. But the most important thing is that you are a great person. A great motivation. A hug from the Basque country.

[@Dan-cl3md]

[@laboratoriomusicaotico]

Come to Florianópolis! Not crazy waves but cool city and some big beach breaks

[@elijahpeterson5673]

Mahalo for creating a surf brand for surfers!!!

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Whoa the pause at 20:15 is epic, just sitting inside a ridiculous green close out, so sick. Nathan you are so calm its unreal to watch. Reminds of the days me and my buddy back in the 80's used to surf this break-wall on the mid north coast of NSW, when the swell came from the north/east it would peak up like the wedge, there'd be really nice peaks and lefts that ran down the beach. But when the swell came from the south, we'd take off on these rights, charge head on into these super long close out barrels, all you'd see out the end of the barrel was the rocks of the break-wall before you got annihilated.

[@estatemodelrailways809]

Love that spot! Pitted straight into the washing machine. Can get a bit hairy up close to those boulders.

[@africantrichome7265]

That's Dudu Pedra's wave!!! Itacaotiara. I'm a bodyboarder but I watch every single video. ❤

[@NathanFlorence]

@@africantrichome7265 yeah dudupedra got a crazy big right at the beach break this same day!

[@jopsball-turret6969]

So cool. The shot of the two of you on the wave runner finally put that spot into perspective for the viewers. What a gnarly place to drop in😂

[@themindfulsk8r]

The question marks on the bird as he watches the wave lmfao so funny

[@giuseppetaccini]

bro, I swear you're the gnarliest surfer ever. Your surfing is crazy good and just watching your videos and the waves you get is breathtaking, it gets my adrenaline pumping every time let's gooooooo!!!

Farkin bro! That first barrel shot was the best POV I’ve ever seen! Reminds me of throwing myself into close out shoreys as a grom. Just maybe a bit bigger. Sick shot!

Man that was crazy, Nathan you have balls of steel.

[@northernlighter]

I just stood up involuntarily in the middle of my living room at 1:20am after working all day. Ho lee chit.

[@scottyknowsurf]

That's terrifying. Good job

[@EMan-cu5zo]

You definitely earned this title. You, Zord, your wife and everyone else who is a part of your production in making all these videos have all worked hard for this. Congratulations. Do your sinuses ever get a chance to drain completely? I would have water poring out of my nose whenever I bend down to pick something up for four days if I was in waves like that. Which I would never be.

[@creature_of_the_undergroun261]

That was hardcore. Damn. So gnarly

[@krustysurfer]

Much love and aloha team Florence for the win! Mahalo for the epic ride 🙌
