[@bryan_garrick_little]

Long live zoard 🎉 synching that stuff is a mission

[@LarfMarf]

yeah i liked it too. da shizzzzzzzz

[@rileyh3207]

Gives so much more perspective on the size of the waves

[@6thouz]

I LOVE these types of videos and footage. So cool to the different perspectives with no music.

[@georgewcamp]

the sync of the video really shows how much the go pro flattens the wave from Nate's perspective. Great video

[@jansmith3158]

Pipe Opening Day did NOT disappoint!!! Good to see Buddy doing well .

[@amyschillings7864]

OMG!! I could watch pipeline all day long and that water is absolutely beautiful!!😍

[@JJMcCubbing]

Love watching these raw pipe videos. You guys are insane

[@luizrsimoes]

Knowledge is everything!! Great waves for a closed out day…you and JJ

[@Pompomgrenade]

"That was Big Action" indeed... Thanks for getting the viewer fully barreled and spit upon 🌊

[@ethanperkins890]

their love for cats is unmatched it's amazing

[@SouthernBix]

100%

[@davidchuang9895]

Love these raw clips of yall surfing with no music. Keep em coming!

[@SunderAT]

That was some impressive athleticism. Inspiring me to call out sick tomorrow and do a big mountain bike ride where I am to take advantage of some good fall weather. Cheers.

[@SasoCasablanca63]

Crazy how Go pro lens make the waves look smaller than the monsters they really are . Cool double screen to appreciate the different perspectives

[@surfermoffy1]

Matching up the GoPro footage with the actual footage is so cool, really gives you a sense of how small the GoPro footage makes the waves look

[@jbond1991]

Nate works the hardest at bringing the best vids even when he doesnt feel so good. And always that wonderful sense of humor.

[@botaccount3449]

Your commentary in the opening scene on the waves was great. Id love to see more of that style. A good 5 min of just that before a sesh. You made me realize what you saw and its straight up invaluable. Rewatched that segment about 20 times. 200ft to the right was the read. Thx! Edit: “to the left lol”

[@ooklamoc4411]

Nate is a fearless savage but John’s ability to read and position on a wave is incredible.

[@nathelm]

7:47 that was one of the smoothest, coolest, most awesome rides I have seen. So slick!

[@jasonsmith7518]

It will be awesome to watch the waves ramp up at Pipeline as we head towards the winter swell.

[@Anthony-fd3lz]

Those 10 footers ou the back as they hit the ledge ! Just ❤️ magic how strong your legs are and your speed and timing. Courageous Nathan! John really got the Biggest bomb from was it 3rd reef. So much power on the inside this day. No Life guards. I hope I get there.

[@Anthony-fd3lz]

Thanks To you and your Brother Nathan, thanks John John!❤️

[@AnonYmous-be9vw]

The way the lip heaves up before pitching, then keeps pitching after the impact, sooooo much water pointing down, so cold, so sharky and dark. It's gotta be up there for spookiest wave on the planet. Kudos to those who dare and no thank you!

[@punanitsunami2786]

Skills were put to the test. I love watching pipe

[@surfingisart]

The back to backs from John and you were MENTAL!!!

[@50yroldgrom]

Amazing pov, love to see the brothers surf big waves

[@MrJasperspool]

Love seeing the POV after the ride it's great.

[@tobiasgibson5233]

This was epic. Felt like I was on the beach at pipe with the boys watching the boys. Yew

[@thegr8stm8]

Picture within picture is gr8… gives reality perspective… distance vs POV ✅✅

[@janepower6842]

Best video!! Cats, carnage, a couple of mind bending waves and a chat 🤙

[@nils6837]

The camera from the beach and the mouthcam together is really cool.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

I vote for Pipe. You and John got a couple insane ones. Go get more. 😀

[@nickortcoski6769]

Sending it guys! Rule that wave now, generational! Well done all of you!

[@MostlyIC]

7:15, and the POV at 7:25, is just too cool for words, and then again at 8:10 and 8:22, and many thanks for slow-mo'ing it, awesome riding and awesome video'ing, 🙂 !!!

[@2aa2aa2]

Go Pro angle always make it look so small and fun then when you see POV from the beach you realise yeah I wouldn't be out there lol

[@paulwaylo]

[@andrewshantz9136]

[@TheOtterspace]

Thanks for the awesome views with the GoPro camera. Sic day at pipe. Hopefully some good waves tomorrow. Big swell here in Oregon today too but not so clean.

[@maxwellrosenfeld3864]

I love watching this videos, I met you Hawaii when you were surfing pipeline I saw you catching some waves it was awesome to meet you.

[@mattgurin6168]

No place like home especially when you're living on the NorthShore. It's time to get Buddy on the treadmill... He seems to be conquering the lizard war and probably eaten way too many, you know he's stoked to have you home.

[@Jilliancrespi]

first well not disappointing... some absolute mental ones out there glad to see the boys scoring with not too many people:)

[@Greg_lark]

So humble and chilled.👊🫡

[@bonez_westoz]

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

7:14 Man I caught a wave like that once back in 1996......except it was in the Gulf of Mexico....and a right.....and about 3' Florida gulf size ! Oh yeah and a beach break.

[@dylanaustin5234]

[@EMan-cu5zo]

The way you pulled in around the 8 minute mark was insane.

[@kelly7873]

Amazing turn around time on the video, less than 24 hours from the water to the release.

[@lavapix]

This has been a crazy good swell for October even over here on The Big Island. We even have a decent SW hitting. The texture on your waves was nice.

[@wasabiginger6993]

A Lifewave patch at top of spine??? … wicked first swell … snapping all back into another epic NS winter … been seeing some of this swell west side big island
