Beautiful partners supporting the dream……a recipe for a generational shift in all things surfing. So good. 👌

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.

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.
