PADDLE ATTEMPT TO SURF A FRISKY LEFT HAND SLAB AFTER A BIG NIGHT

[@nathangriffith2737]

hangover paddle outs will make you rethink life

[@hello7698]

But they are also the best cure…

[@TomCampbell-v7n]

😂 so true

[@johndoeyedoe]

Rethink drinking for sure. Worse when it's above 6 ft... 🤢🤮

[@spencerharvey743]

With a side of clamp fest 😂love the brothers! Reminds me of my bro and i getting pounded

[@jasonthompson5324]

Sometimes your more relaxed wallowing out hungover I’ve done it at 6 plus snapper and I swear I got out better I have a soft spot for all surfers who maraud out there on it or hungover Ross Clarke jones Jeff Hakeman riding the lightning hahaha

[@AgathonDemiurgus]

Bro Ivan must never leave from this project, keep Mr. Cool forever and give him a gopro. Sick to see you both

[@WjB_96792]

Fk yeah ivan rips!

[@simonbackwash]

200x Agree with that !! Mr cool is THE ONE WHO WILL SAVE YOU TO PADDLE OUT INTO INSANITY ✅♥️ YOU'VE GOT TO GET HIM EVERYWHERE YOU GO NATH 🛟 !

[@otssan6548]

yes! get him a gopro!

[@scotthull2141]

this channel above all others has inspired me to accelerate my improvement over the last 14 months of regular surfing. most notably the abillity to paddle out like sea monster, Nathan! 🤙🏼 congratulations on an Award well deserved as you do so much for the surf Fam. Mahalo Nathan, Mahina, Ivan and Florence family 🕊 be Blessed

[@Ash.Cloudz]

You guys dont stop... Get an award, get wrecked, get barreled. Inspired

[@NathanFlorence]

Haha the tour must continue at all cost

[@Pacorcrull]

I love the way you analyze, strategize, and implement your vast knowledge of waves to figure any break out and then rip it

[@luizoliveira8914]

I had to pause that first wipe out and go frame by frame. I love surfing, love barrels and of course wipe outs. Can’t get sick of a good picture, just like the old days when we had the surfing mags. Epic session as usual. So cool to see the whole thing from the rock dance to the shore and the coming back. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@helioantonio]

Not a lot of surfers have paddled this, maybe half a dozen and no one comes back so well done you guys! Have no idea how you pulled that off on the first wipeout. Witchcraft obviously.

[@NathanFlorence]

Excited to come back and try on a good day! I could see the potential! Think i could backdoor a big one on the right day

[@helioantonio]

@ you'll freak out on a good day. Backdooring a big perfect one would be epic, I'm sure you can pull that off!

[@JesusSavesandRomeEnslaves]

@helioantonio Grace of God!

[@frankdelaney6316]

ty nathan and friends, love the pov action! you tapped in to what the viewers love to see. you get better each day. i am worthless wen im hungover, so hard to function. thats even worse wen older. great you young studs. take life and live full!!!

[@fprductions]

the real cowboys of surfing los hermanos Florence, saludos del surf krew de Ecuador.

[@BG-vw5jx]

Hope Ivan comes on more slab missions with you!

[@davidhays2214]

Best little bro a maniac like Nathan could ask for and a hard charger in his own right…and casual style is second to none

[@NathanFlorence]

So good having him along this year!

[@tubethis777]

I love how brothers supporting brothers raise everyone's level so high, just look at Ridge Lenny, Ivan, Koa (Rothman and Smith) and so many others bringing them closer and pleasing their parents and everyone that watches, brother love! God bless you boys

[@TaylorSurf]

Love these videos that actually show the effort just getting to the peak. Much better than any polished surf flicks at the mo.

[@cliffgoodman8958]

Hey Boyz Congratulations Nathan on The Award!!, well deserved!! Very Proud Sooo happy you dropped this video Let’s Get Barreled

[@JgGj-vg7lb]

Hi Nate, That murky water Slab looks scary! 😳 Glad to see Ivan was there with you.👍 Happy you both survived...😂 You guys have fun, thanks for sharing your hang- over video.😄 CAN'T wait for your Next Adventure, be safe guys !!😂🤙🌊

[@josephmendez1972]

The first wave after a hangover is the warm-up wave for sure. Nate, you're the slab juggernaut 💪

[@scottymac5174]

I grew up as a teenager in the 70's. Kneeboarding was cool back then. Short boards, waves that nobody back then would touch. Roots watching Nathan! Riding a 5' 2" bat tailed twin in 1978. Part of an old long board.

[@mikemoloney506]

You gentlemen live in another world. Thank you for taking us along

[@ongwhehonwhe]

Thank you Nathan for being the avatar of us online surfers, the jaw camera perspective is the coolest & most realistic . . .

[@HeiHei-daRoostah]

Good to see you FINALLY bring Ivan to a left slab so he can get barreled!!!! He got pitted on the second sesh!!!

[@growingatthebeach9186]

Bro that 1st wipe out was insane and looked like your neck snapped back at the last second. And how fast you got out the back of it f’ing record time 😂🤘🤘🤘so sick watching these battles 🤘✌️

[@biotechbreakout3165]

You're a lucky man to have a faithful brother who paddles out with you regardless of the size and conditions. Extra points since he's not a nag... which would ruin a surf trip. And best of all, he's a talented charger. I hope Ivan travels with you more often. Always great to see the Florence brothers ripping. Whose idea was it to not wear booties since there were so many barnacles and some sea urchins and it was your first time to paddle out at this spot? Hmmm... maybe more coffee and less tequila?

[@RB-xg2vz]

Love the fact you show the clambering hassle involved just to get to these spots, 100 opportunities to break your ankles or knees 😂😂😂

[@scottymac5174]

Completey tore up my left knee in 2018. Coming in on a big day at a local CenCal reef. Got my left foot caught in a hole. Then knocked over by a six foot wall of white water.. "Pop".

[@RB-xg2vz]

@ fractured my ankle coming in same spot twice 😂

[@fishrider62]

Jeeze, you guys are gnarly! John has put together a stellar team!

[@Thefergydude]

Everything about that session was gnarly - the paddle out, the takeoffs, the brown water, and the paddle in. I'll bet it cured the hangover. Be careful.

[@genripper-b8q]

circular motion with that toothbrush brother till the day you die. you gonna file all the enamel off those pearly choppers with the 'saw' action. that's all the orthodontic advisories i got for today. thanks for the sesh nate!

[@GeorgeCrumpler]

Pretty horrendous paddle out and in at a break you have never surfed before, yet you and Ivan made it seem like just an annoyance, amazing skill level you guys have.

[@hman7236]

The Bro Tour is awesome 🤙🤙

[@paulricciardi9388]

I can't believe you did that paddle out hungover. You're a beast.

[@aaronbaltusis6357]

Sketchy paddle out. Always impressive the waves you guys get.

[@garethgriffin7687]

I just feel hungover watching that paddle out entry!😆😆

[@awwhellbartell2608]

Wave 1 Nate and Ivan 0. 😂. I definitely know that the average viewer doesn’t grasp how technical this is. Surfing close outs and getting pounded for yrs has these boys making it look easy and then not. The average surfer couldn’t even get outside. You boys are savages. Mad respect gentlemen. 🙌🙌🙌🙏🏻

[@OhHeyification]

The dedication to the mouth cam with the hangover paddle is nuts

[@powerlooper]

That was a nasty freaking paddle out. And even worse coming in, as I know from experience. Props to you guys.

[@nottherealChickenJoe]

I really love to watch any clip of this spot. You should go when it's really pumping. When this spot is all time, nothing comes close in Europe in my opinion. And the bodyboarders pioneered it again haha

[@2tvMerlin]

1:16 sensible, relevant, and GENTLE plug 🤑✊

[@briggscloutier]

heavy stuff, sick vid Nate.

[@RikAbramss]

You guys are so fortunate you get to wake up and go surfing I woke up when in my kitchen make coffee in my light switch in my kitchen caught on fire I was able to make coffee though in the dark LOL so just know sometimes what you have is really a lot better than everybody else I know you know that already

[@RikAbramss]

So it looks like your walk out is almost as bad as my kitchen fire LOL

[@jameslangridge1674]

Anyone who has ever done a surf trip knows how this feels. Always used to happen to us on the morning surf of day 2 of any surf trip... Lots of rethinking of the actions taken the night before happens on those paddle outs.

[@headmondronary2127]

As usual the thumbnail got me. Never disappointed. Ta

[@wilburanderson4565]

that wiepout on the first wave, anyone else is dead

[@nigel1294]

Nah pindrop like Nathan you’ll be sweet

[@peterschaefer1606]

It's crazy how easy he makes that look

[@papapetad]

There was a nasty one diving head first and it looked like the legs were getting flipped over, falling in a barrel. F that 😄

[@Jacoozzi]

Ivan was killing it

[@BarryManitou]

"A Frisky Slab after cleaning up at the Awards" Next Level Gudna.😃 👍🏻🎄✨🌌

[@robbieevans6536]

Ivan for the win!

[@luispereira7983]

surfer of the year big nathan🎉

[@damianbeattie91]

thanks for showing the gopro footage of that amazing escape at 7:54 . surely its rare to get blown out the back so quickly like that?

[@juliomariaviegasneves4875]

Nothing like a Portuguese hangover. Gotta love it.

[@KookSurfing]

"See a little wave like that" Classic Nathan.

[@time-j8q]

Brown town was looking pretty rocky. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[@jesseB50423]

Nate and Ivan riding some green water shivers, they both got worked just like their livers 🍺

[@ursgruber9398]

Wow this is wild. I admire you guys

[@samuelajones]

Get him a body bag! And I’m already subscribed for the journey.

[@Janickoriti]

the way this wave spits nearly everytime is sick

[@barryhill6482]

Great experience! Time for Pipe dude!

[@emilbergh]

There is a built harbor mouth just out of frame that makes the paddle out to this spot really easy. Just fyi

[@aarmcintyre]

Perfect video dude. Keep it up. So much better than edits. Also u seriously have some balls on you😂🤝

[@2tvMerlin]

1:33 legit bangin tunes

[@scottcook926]

Slab Tour going to need a signature helmet! Keep Mr. Cool in as many vids as possible.

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

Some waves, at some spots...the water sucks out so hard, it's nearly impossible to paddle into them - unless you get that perfect position, on a perfect wave - particularly standup surfing. Sometimes, having a set of good surfing/swim fins on, can push you down, underneath those ledges. Bodyboards love that kind of spot. With some discernment, and wave judgement - the same can be said of kneeboards, as well. Either can raise your 'win' percentage, at a tricky spot, like that one.

[@boogieheads]

every one of your videos is gnarlier than the last

[@shammusomalley8986]

Never forget the lesson taught by Dan Osman. Keep testing the limit and eventually you die. That is just a fact. Let your bravery adapt. Bravery doesn't mean that you have to kill yourself doing extreme sports.

[@AfonsoRFernandes]

Glad to see you scoring this wave! The rocks with cuts and squared holes are old lobster farms 🦞

[@arottie4097]

W0W! i can't believe you actually drank that much TEQUILA!!? Ha! Thanx for posting!

[@jameslevesque635]

Love your commitment!

[@matthewj9832]

I don’t think that one at 11:10 could have been worse, especially since the board flipped fins up holy crap

[@jasonthompson5324]

Got to say that was a good backhand reo but I was impressed with Ivan second session tube riding I think he got the better of ya haha

[@javierlocura]

Ya nate on another level

[@MK-su6eg]

Looking like a big rock wave! Aloha

[@EdOnYoutube]

How long were you out there for? How gassed are you generally after a paddle out? I feel shattered breaking through even the smallest waves

[@horstlauch453]

Muhaha, seeing Nate doing DUI, then camera pan to Ivan completely devastated 😂, haha

[@VKMP1234]

I love this channel

[@mikebranch7928]

Yeah it’s cool that you got Ivan for backup now.

[@lukealsmith]

Ivan Chopper Florence must always be on your channel. Ripper

[@AndrewCooperr]

Any slab tour merch at the store in Haleiwa? 🚩

[@LukeCameronMW]

Nothing like having a buddy to paddle in at/ out at @ a sketchy spot!

[@TaranakiFrother-oy2dx]

Love the adventure. Never know what you cats are gonna sniff out next. Yeow!!!!!

[@juwaann]

legend

[@chris73brown]

Also, l do alittle extra mg of caffeine of usually dose when hungover & works well

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

2:59 Guess that's where that spot gets its name from 👀🏯 Also "Frisky" would be the last adjective I'd use there 😅😬

[@lilhard]

the anxiety level on this video is something else 😅

[@gregadams9752]

Many of hangover surfs🤘

[@simplelife6284]

Looks like a wana factory! 🤙🙏😀

[@Alligator6002]

That is Matt Johnson, that is Matt Johnson 🤩

[@botaccount3449]

Thanks for saying it. I was looking for this comment. Can I borrow your board?

[@papapetad]

Lol that just looked nasty from the get go. Mucky water, awkward rocks covered in barneys and spikeys. Great show from where I'm sitting though 😂

[@2tvMerlin]

JFC THATS SO GNARLY

[@christopherfenstermaker7146]

Those rocks and kelp look tough to deal with! You make it look not too bad though

[@adriancalma3508]

Ivan’s face at 1:34 😂

[@julien37flyway]

Hi Nathan, how do you protect your ears and eardrum from bursting or getting infections ? My ear rings a bit and hurts when I get pulled down too fast too deep in heavier surf and wipeouts. Thanks !

[@NathanFlorence]

Hmmm my ears ring at random times of day, but for most part are healthy and rarely get infected

[@jamesroscoe7555]

​@@NathanFlorenceSurfer's ear is real. Probably a good idea to wear earplugs if you are surfing more in cooler water and cool windy air conditions. I am trying to be more careful about this now as the surgery is apparently no fun. Though I hate all the plugs I've tried...

[@zacharyryan1325]

I remember surfing at soup bowls after my birthday celebration the night before and a lot of rum was drank. Let’s just say the ocean one big that day 😂

[@boujeedagoat8397]

Nathan and Chumbo going shot for shot sounds dangerous

[@sMVshortMusicVideos]

7:40 I was expecting to see broken everything , instead , Nathan calmly paddling back out, how?

[@macrovigilance]

Ivan won that exchange!!

[@juansalinasfaber]

in arica chile there is a slab rigth called rancid horn ....very similar ...hope to see you in northern chile ...slabby bodyboarding land

[@NathanFlorence]

Hope i can surf it one day!!

[@tubethis777]

Nate, how can you take those slabs on the head and not sink? Are you made out of cork or what? 😂 😂 Great surfing bro, seeing Ivan there is rad and keep showing our dreams turn into reality and taking us along for the ride! 🏄 😎

[@alikajohnson9250]

New paddle out never surfed here before. I don't think anyone has surfed there before haha

[@wasabiginger6993]

484 ... to 500 ... let's go!!!

[@jurajzovinec]

as raw as it gets

[@benyhuckaby7478]

Clicked because of the big night out prior. How I feel paddling out in 3-4 ft cali on Sunday am😂😂😂😂

[@davidhays2214]

Second time watching…didn’t notice the sewer grate reef….id have to be lit from the night before and cruzing with Florence bros to even consider paddling out at that skeeechfest…looks eerie as f…love the use of frisky to describe it, though terrifying or good place to drown with a broken neck more accurate for us commoners

[@mattbellina5485]

You guys make a killer team

[@fabianasensio1168]

Thanks..what is a slab wave?

[@jamesroscoe7555]

Wave in deeper water somewhat abruptly hits shallower underwater slab of rock.

[@erikgeiser6750]

Where can I get a poster of you pulling into a huge slab. I need one for garage!
