Nathan sempre cosi casual, elegante e modesto. When the slab got crowded and slower he just paddled to the boat chilling and watching the guys out there. His session was the purest one, early morning, the sun showing up in the middle of the clouds colouring the ocean. God bless yourself and your soul. Ciao

[@xprettylightsx]

What a kind comment , nice job !😊

[@surfgurujeff]

Nathan, the level and comfort you surf at melts my brain!!! I love that you were bagging GoPro clips, the look back clip was one of the sickest views of Chopes I've ever seen. Thanks for taking us along!

[@txzz4688]

Dudes hitting golf balls get 1 million subs 😂

[@Yetified_Mayhem]

I would bet he owes it to the the ones he loves that support him 1000% no matter what

[@Randsurfer]

Great soundtrack. Great vibe with the jet ski scooping you up with no time to spare.

[@wasabiginger6993]

Some gorgeous footage, thank you. Prayers for the locals who have lost everything in this flood.

[@jayc4880]

Holy sht!! What I just watched what was meant to be a humble weekly vlog, but it’s up there with some of the best surf movies I’ve watched in the last decade.! Thanks Nate, Zoard and all involved. That viewing was absolutely EPIC. ✊🤙 And much love and prayers to Tahiti ❤️

[@franciscoavilespino1258]

That shot at 8:52 is too cinematic. Such a great edit Nathan! and I truly loved how you started with recognizing the people of Tahiti.

[@thomashowlin4353]

Give that videographer an award, unbelievable job, Nathan and the boys, you guys are awesome !

[@mrh3578]

Great editing once again. The flooding is heartbreaking. Those drone shots of the river flooding really shows the devastation. I hope the people and the ocean recover. Prayers to them.

[@CarlosSanchez-j4r]

One of the sickest edition ever... congrats & thanks dudes... All my respect, all my love and all the best for the people & community of Tahiti ... Stay strong guys !!!

[@bakerbaker1959]

Yup. This is without a doubt one of, if not, the best Teahupo'o edits. Like, ever. It is flawless. Also, Nate's editing is so underrated. These videos and his GoPro footage are top fucking notch.

[@josephsorento1541]

Not only does this video hit total sickness with the waves but the freakin' soundtrack is awesome -Good Job editing Nate! Killer video!!!

[@BigDaddy-hn7oh]

As I said before you're setting a fine example for young people your doing the right thing don't stop keep charging Full Speed Ahead God bless and all the best

[@miguelpoissonbruler]

From 5:45 to 10:30 Academy Award winner for editing of music and surf! Amazing!

[@tonysmario817]

you have that backside drop wired...it’s poetry in motion. ivan snagged a couple bombs! prayers for the community. lots of extreme weather...increasing around the earth at this time...keep that in mind on the slab tour! the circus is a result of the surf ‘industry’, and the value system we place on MONEY over Spirit. we reap what we sow.

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

You and Zord have done alot of great stuff but this is right up there with the best stuff you have ever filmed.... Cheers guys....

[@mackash]

This is some of the best footage of Chopes ever seen. That was hectic size too. Well done Nate. Thank you.

[@SimonPeter72]

Was that Poto at 12:32 on that drop? I knew him from the North Narra days back in 80's...when he was staying with the Fitzy clan awesome dude...loyal and stand up guy.

[@solomon6082]

This is one of the best videos ive seen in my life bro …

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Masterpiece

[@AndrewCooperr]

Stoked to see the RAW POV of this sessions.. prayers up for Teahupo’o.

[@NathanFlorence]

Coming friday!

[@unkletonyahearns179]

@@NathanFlorence Never seen you guys smile so hard as the ride in on day one… But man I wish you would put everyone’s name under who’s getting these crazy barrels… You have to see me adjusting in the barrel in my recliner ha ha ha thanks bro love you

[@unkletonyahearns179]

And I’m a big dummy but somebody please explain to me… How coconut milk could be so cold in the tropics… Mother nature is awesome

[@jerrybow8779]

Bro hands down the best surf vlog on the net! Love how you bring out the content so near the time!

[@ascotia]

The color palette of the Tahiti skies throughout the video just adds to the epicness. Awesome work Nate and crew, totally taken by surprise after clicking this video!

[@josmith2062]

Dude that POV camera in the barrel is a service to humanity!

[@stevepierce3509]

Absolutely mad footage fella of the dirty water line out from land and cars floating. Cant believe houses were not swept away.

[@WavesoftheWorld]

I'm still going through footage from this trip....Incredible days

[@markreyes9287]

Awesome footage! Love it! What a meat grinder of a wave! You guys make it look so easy! Wipe out in the beginning is something you never see on video, how scary being dragged back into the impact zone to get saved by the ski.... totally Awesome 😮 keep safe guys & keep posting 👌🙏

[@Jilliancrespi]

I think my fav video yet! love seeing you all and the local boys scoring:) some of the straight free fall/vertical drops were absolute insanity sending thoughts and prayers to entire Teahupo'o community

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

You know I used to think I was pretty brave when a young surfer, used to think we charged, takin off on massive close out barrels and wedge like waves at my local east coast break-wall, but I reckon I'd pike out at chopes, just looking over the edge in some of these clips and seeing the bottom drain out, and the reef just roll up under you with a foot or two of water, that's enough to put anyone off. Some of these camera views are next level.

[@godisbollocks]

13:38 This has to be one of the greatest waves ever towed at Teahupo'o. That thing was a death slab and he was as deep as anyone could've been.

[@UKFdubstep2]

You must not have seen many of the tow waves that people get on this wave😂

[@godisbollocks]

@@UKFdubstep2 I've seen plenty. Been following Teahupoo since before it was even famous. I remember magazine articles about bodyboarders Jack Lindholm and Ben Severson visiting Tahiti in like 1993, featuring waves that looked at least as good as Pipe, if not better. I remember thinking: "why isn't that wave famous??" A few years later it was famous. Mostly thanks to the 1997 Gotcha Pro contest, won by Kobe Abberton. Then of course Laird's wave in 2000 sent the break into the stratosphere. So yeah, I've been following the evolution of Teahupoo longer than most. I also have the 2011 Code Red DVD, and the book 'Teahupoo: Tahiti's Mythic Wave.' I know more about that place than almost any random haole you're likely to encounter in a KZbin comment thread.

[@foxgd88]

@@godisbollocks that guy prob thinks the waves always this big

[@patrickmcshea5168]

Dude! This is art of flight og level of a edit. Blown away!

[@rjridge6791]

Holy fuck! What photography! Usually POV is overrated, not so good.

[@tobyneo5204]

Incredible top of the line heavy surfing. Respect to everyone charging.

[@DestroyAllWaves]

So gnarly, hope everyone stays safe and the island recovers quickly

[@flynnpotter]

Epic filming and beautiful waves. nice sound track too. Such a rush for a 70 year old retired surfer. Felt like I was there. Thank You!!!!!

[@punanitsunami2786]

You've become a freakin beast!! Been watching for roughly 3 years and you still continue to improve. You are inspiring. Side note my girlfriend loves Mahina. Her smile and her style

[@y-u-do-yo]

That drop in and turn is soooo tough. Much love stay safe n thanks 4 sharing!

[@RamFly1A1]

Nate went atomic, and Mr cool got some of the sickest barrels of the swell . Prayers for Tahiti.

[@aaronbrowne6370]

This edit is perfect. Surfing was nuts 13:40 is pure gold wave of Ur life

[@julescachat9686]

Do you know who is the rider ?

[@justTheTip118]

13:40 was absolutely mental!!! That thing was spitting fire

[@trotts1885]

Paddling in and making the drop is everything, tow in surfing is not cool if there is a group of surfers paddling , wait for a bigger day

[@laurenjager297]

Oh nooooo! That's awful! I remember watching those old beautiful homes getting pulled into the spiral of the sea, just a few years back.. wasn't that in the Netherlands!?🌊😮🌊🤯 I'll send my prayers & hugs. Want to do more though. ❤❤❤

[@solomon6082]

14:04 warrior… that was special.. that moment

[@m02dxlro43.]

to everyone , none of us get hurt or something like that we all safe and wealthy 😊 from a tahitian

[@richvanevery3]

SO EPIC BRO...omg...such epic footage...music was on point....re-use that first song...its so intense. Glad your back is better and your charging it so hard. That rescue was mental too....WOW>.

[@hey220661]

The best video bro! Keep it up awesome job good bless you and your Team 💪🔥

[@garyrobinson4847]

Nathan zoard thank you😃🤙 awesome edit 7:48 wow teahuop’o for me looks the naughtiest wave you guys ride..

[@nomad701]

Nat, Holy Mother of Barrels, WHAT😳 That was over the cuckoo’s nest😎🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ronnyron6939]

I was pretty stunned watching some of those small waves being towed. Haven't seen that on video before. I was thinking omg the paddle guys have to be soooo pissed watching those goofs fly by on a 6 footer.

[@sevi5667]

9:26 spit so hard it blew off his helmet

[@DrKillFeeDZ]

That wave at 13:43 had the craziest spit ive ever seen. These waves were spitting way harder than any other session at teahupoo!

[@cisco6926]

Kip, Koa, and Nate- great crew!

[@bitsindustries9848]

Looked like some hell slabs to grab.. Love the beats too. Great work Nath, Thanks for a great vid! 🙏🙏

[@mikejames987]

Oh boy nate, this reminds me of my slag tour in 2003....big crowded tubes and squirting coconuts 🥥

[@Eyohna]

9:30 lmao that hat flying is so funny to see

[@DrNoth]

Yup, It was small when it hit Oahu yesterday and today. They said it would be big.

[@rogan6947]

How does the line up work when people towed are also present? Seems like 5 people being towed get a lot of waves that could have been paddled while 20 people wait, do they just get 1 then wait till everyone else has had a go?

[@MotionInOcean]

Nate, I think you’re one of those few people out there who put these kinda music at the background, and I’ve heard Kai Lenny, Billy Kemper and a lotta big wave surfers say, “going out there on a big day is like going out to a war, it’s survival, it’s as going into a battle”. Which I think is really true and this music only intensifies it! Love and respect from Maldives! 🇲🇻

[@MotionInOcean]

My deepest condolences to those who were effected by the flash flooding.

[@Moonbeamlizard]

Thanks for talking about all the hype that goes around swells these days. It's seems every swell has a name or a code.

[@SoloSurfer]

Freaks of nature!! The swing wide crew!! #heavyhitas💣💣💣🔥🔥

[@hikebot]

I hope Vans is paying what you and Ivan deserve!

[@LucasCorrea-fg7bp]

Nice work Nathan! I really enjoy your videos. One day I will have the chance to share the line up with you and Ivan. He breaking down the situation says it all 🤣

[@thomasaustin6642]

nothing gets me more psyched than watching nathan and his crew bombing waves i know i’ll never be able to surf

[@Yelnats87]

Ha... Nate, you need to open the coconuts with your throwing knives pal! Lets take it back! Lethal with those things dude...🤣... YyyyeeeuuuwW🤙

[@markmccullagh7539]

great film making awesome edit. congratulations nathan.

[@richwalk8990]

Hi Nate, did you see Cornish surferTom Lowe out there, the BBC here in England is reporting he had to doggy paddel in to shore and stagger through the jungle for half an hour to get help, he suffered internal bleeding, a fractured scapula, and six broken ribs.☹

[@flatoutintop23]

Early bird catches the worm 😉 Great job, amazing waves 🤙

[@tommathews3964]

All the best to the good people of Tahiti! Tough situation! The sheer power and the glory of that place never ceases to amaze! Is there a thicker, more perfect barrel?

[@ninerminer370]

At 7:45, I didn’t think he made it. Then out of nowhere to see him doing a 360+ through the air was insane. 😮

[@baptau3153]

Loved that French comment at 3:37!! Ahaha

[@janetackland493]

Mind blowing stuff! Brilliant work Nathan.

[@mybleachhouse]

The storm had barely over 30 foot seas so it's strange how it got so hyped up. They did this same overcall on that goofy "la bamba" for the first big puerto escondido swell. That morning session you had was so silky smooth though.

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Barely 30? I surf 30 footers in my sleep brah

[@LordFlashheart1]

Shane Ackerman is one gnarly human being

[@byronbaybarrels]

that one you pulled back on daaaaamn. like half a paddle more and you were in for a very bad day haha such good timing. paddling for something questionable at full pelt but still knowing your limit or slightly wrong position to the millisecond to get you out of trouble. king of natural footing chopes. you should somehow do a pov jaws video. maybe with a helmet? i know a mouth mount would be out of the question. i'd love to see footage of the way you all describe when you take off and look down it looks like there's no bottom. i haven't seen pov of that yet. i'd say you'd be the man for the job

[@Surfrz3]

Wow, Epic footage. Thanks for posting. 🌊🐬🧡😎

[@psychinbruh]

best surf edit in a looong time. epic. great music

[@jerrybow8779]

Another question. Do the paddle boys get pissed when 1/3 the crew is towing and the rest are paddling?

[@liberateyourslack]

Good question. I was under the impression that the local boys were regulating tow crews on 'paddle days' but obviously I don't know shit.

[@quicksno]

The clips of Eli were mental, and Ivan was holding it down

I get the sense that Kip's continuous pouting pose wasnt appreciated by the tribe. Never turns down a dare eh! When a village turns its wave into an oil slick literally for bread and circus...
