Just wanted to say that Nate’s KZbin channel doesn’t stop bringing the Gnar! This dude has been charging for like 2 years straight. Seems like every week he is half way around the world from the prior week surfing another monster wave in an isolated locale. No other surf channel is coming close to delivering as much hardcore diehard big wave content as Nate. Nate winning surfer of the year was so deserved and honestly I think he deserves it again. Thanks for bring us along for the ride Nate and getting so much great footage 🙌🏼🤙🏼

[@NathanFlorence]

Thanks man appreciate you seeing the work put in! It really has been a crazy couple years love bringing you guys along!

Thank you for using Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007. It makes it so much more amazing. Pairs well!

[@nednakatsuka4965]

Yes, I concur....but was it Yo Yo Ma?

[@notmyrealnameyo]

​@@nednakatsuka4965 I prefer Anner bylsma. Yo yo ma rushes too much.

[@miketausig4205]

Totally agree. This version is not what I consider the best, but it is such an elegant piece and doesn’t detract from what we’re watching, yet provides an accompaniment to the gnar! Well done.

[@chrisrowlandson9564]

13:15 there's no way he makes thaaaaaWWWWWHAAAATTTTT?!?!?! What a beast!!

[@NathanFlorence]

Hell yeah!

[@DonaldLibbey]

Love those pre glow sunrises. Those were probably altocumulus clouds lighting up before the sun rises. It's just pure magic!! I've been a professional photographer and cinematographer and I love to photograph magic hour sunrises and sunsets. Greatest way to start your day!!!

[@johnmorris6643]

Tunes were fresh, always good to see surf to different/unique tracks

[@oogaboogabooga1442]

I was there a couple weeks ago, during the first swell. The wave is so difficult to even read. I sat there watching for a couple hours and still couldn't figure it out. There was massive looking waves that ended up being junky inside ones. There were perfect looking bowl ones that ended up clamping. And there were ones I thought weren't doable that ended up being the waves of the day. This has got to be one of the most technically difficult big waves in the world, and it's pretty insane to get even one good one. Incidentally I'm in Margaret River right now, I saw John surf his first heat. It sucks that it's so small right now, but still cool to see him surf.

[@37Moozy]

basically explained surfing florida in a nut shell but the waves are only knee high 😂

[@JG-pm9ty]

Traveling the globe to take savage beat downs until iit clicks. Amazing footage. It must be inspiring to look down and see the family name as a sponsor

Amazing waves, and very nice Bach Cello Suite n.1 soundtrack

[@Bender2323]

Perfect

[@mishadoumnov]

Best video from Shippies in a while. Gets me fired up to be as radical with what I do! (and Shippies is as radical as it gets, I question whether there's any point for mere mortals to surf that place)

[@WjB_96792]

Zoard is an unsung hero! Props nathan and crew another core video! Shippies land angle is beautiful!

[@cspruitt3190]

That Bach piece is one of my favorites! A truly excellent choice. Thank you.

[@mrh3578]

I wonder who the first person was who thought yeah we can surf that crazy fucking mutant wave. Victory at sea day

[@Jurassic3l1te]

I was taken out there for a look on a small day, before it became known in the 90s, I saw how close it was breaking to the rocks and decided I probably wouldn’t be surfing it!

I freakin love your channel man. It’s one of the few that makes me feel like I’m actually along for the ride. The session was nowhere near the biggest or gnarliest Shippies, but there is NEVER an easy Shippies. My jaw literally dropped on multiple occasions when you popped out the end of the wave.

[@NathanFlorence]

I appreciate that!

[@batman50ish]

Amazing footage Zoard!!! - some of those wave formation shots were absolutely stunning. The surfing wasnt bad either Nate :) By the way, who was the lunitic that first decided this spot was surfable???

[@NathanFlorence]

Glad you enjoyed it! Haha it was bodyboarders of course!

[@imauserbaby3497]

That wave was unbelievable. The Florence gear looked sick and congrats zoard on the gummies! Excellent packaging.

Nate, firstly you are the man for putting up this video of getting belted. Not too many pros out there that would have the humility to do that. Love your work. Secondly, next big filthy east or south swell come to Manly, Australia and surf Deadmans. Would love to see that on the slab tour. Keep it up you legend

[@CitizenJourno-1]
