THEY CALL THIS WAVE “THE DONUT”

[@jonathansherman988]

After seeing so many hours of footage from your mouth cam., to now see a giant FLORENCE on that board(s), well, that just super freaking bitchen! So stoked for the family. Go team Florence, I believe in the brand, and the people behind it. Safe travels, and blessings.🌊🌲🇺🇸☝️…P.S. Mr. Cool had the wave of the day!🤙

[@scottymac5174]

Keeping it in the family! It can only get better!

[@Geeb2fat]

Need more podcasts!! Loving the videos Nate

[@Pacorcrull]

Love you guys, appreciate the candid way you guys explain your content, presented in the BEST WAY we all love. I will follow you and your brothers until the end of time. True watermen, god like talents, and a soulful disposition. Thank you guy!!

[@mortyrosenstein4211]

Another banger Nate. It has been awesome watching this channel succeed and you get the praise you deserve. It’s not easy to be the first at something, and do it well. You were the first big time free surfer to commit to carrying that damn go pro in your mouth over and over and over. I’m sure so many times it would have been easier to just leave it in the boat. But here you are. Paving the way for Kai and Conor and all the others to earn money free surfing. Well done.

[@scottymac5174]

My favorite surfing channel by far. Better than any contest listening to Joe Turpell.

[@richardelg4412]

I just love to see local boys being successful. Keep up the good work.🤙

[@stevenboothe9398]

Wow, not sure I’d call that wave a donut with that much warble to it. More of an eclair at times. Looked super challenging in terms of the smaller size and the warbling and clamping going on. Still, the teams definitely worked it out and scored some really nice ones for the opportunity. Loved the stormy backdrop too. Loved the memories of being in the water as always. Thanks so much and big congrats on Team Florence. Love what you’ve done and continue doing. Best regards.

[@wyatt1476]

When the Flo boiiis are being super selective… you know it’s dicey on the reef!!! Epic as always!!

Great to see the raw videos !! Keep it up!

[@WeBodyboard_Official]

Man.. that sesh looked super spooky when it stormed up at the end. One of those suspicious splash kinda days.

[@chriscochrane-m7w]

You guys are the kings of shredding, fitnessing, traveling, wave scoring, singing? ! Four outa five is one good score!

“Real men wear tights” - Nathan Florence 😂😂😂

[@davidm.1934]

Dude i noticed the local Laguna Beach LifeGuards all wearing your Florence Rash-Guards!!! I was stoked to see that honestly! They told me how they made a huge custom order with you guys. Epic

[@jamesmdrummond977]

love these raw clips with no music, the best...

[@frankthomas1983]

Rough one lol remember when Nathan and them brought bananas on the boat and took them out halfway to Chopes and starting eating them? Captain was frazzled 😂

[@mattbgraves]

this is so awesome!🤩

[@SoloSurfer]

The barrel onsey, straight from your bed to the barrel in your Florence marine onesy !!🤙🚼🌊

[@minxlabrada]

Thanks for more stoke. Dig the hooded rashguards. Maybe I can pick up some extra scratch doing mime in the full sun suit.

[@gabrielpereyron]

So good raw and no need for no music ! yeww

[@francus7227]

8:33 Reminds me of being a kid and pushing my little brother's board that he lost after a kick out. We didn't have leashes. Hee hee hee.... Swim practice.

[@CaringOwl]

Such a Tricky Find

[@clemdominguez3654]

Love it! Straight fret train. Made you guys look like some Doughnuts 😅

Big Little Squall is my new favorite band 😂

[@livedeliciously]

This really is Nate's Great Adventure.

[@mrmr314]

See, the SA guy (who looks burned out) was trying to tell you but you weren't listening. The current does what Desert Pt does - drags you out too deep. Super shallow and sectiony this one and higher tides would be best. These types of Indon reefs eventually lead to injuries. Like many spots the wind swings later in the day too.

[@heartsky]

Gritty editing, like we're there.

[@chipotle9223]

roll in, barreling left? yeah im in

[@joshuasmithtile]

Yeah Man

[@lavapix]

Fun friendly sounds good.

[@billcarson4566]

Yeah I was watching and thinking that it must have been super shallow.😮.

[@RubyDragonWeavesAroundTheBody]

Thanks, Nathan :)

[@jacobhoward4438]

Haha donuts definitely one wave to master looks amazing

[@meegssan5716]

Koa Rothman: someone say donuts? 🤤

[@Ddimarco]

Love the videos man. I think adding subtitles while you're out there or have the mouth cam in would take these to the next level 🤙

[@scarywiggles1894]

“Mmmmmmm donuts” ...Homer Simpson

[@JammaLamma]

Dammit! First thing that came to mind 😂

[@seancallahan1312]

Maybe there was a little local language confusion and it was actually called "Donuts..." 😂😂😂 Epic vid. Well done.

[@gregadams9752]

Epic journey 🤘

[@papapetad]

Looks long and absolutely perfect from afar...then you see the riding and the wave shape and thickness...she ain't a big mama but she biiiitee. Adrenaline per inches is strong with this one 😀

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Fun ... friendly ... thank you very much. 😇

[@felipelorenzi1627]

what happened to the gopro clip at 15:54? 😭

[@lucasmulvehill6300]

Was the tide too low or the direction wrong?

[@Septurez]

thank you for no royalty free music

[@jmfu]

Legit 10sec barrel at 15:24

[@roobysoho]

the big man got more tube time than the lot of ya! Awesome

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Confused why so many early bail outs those waves look quite make-able ? was the wave too quick or was there equipment issues ?

[@byronbaybarrels]

looks like a fun challenge

[@noturbo]

sharp coral reef sounds like fun 💥

[@MikeV671]

This spot reminds me of a very break in my neck of the woods. Just curious is if you guys know the swell direction on that day? It seemed a bit too direct, at the point where you guys first were trying to take off, that whole section would just shut down and then bowl up hard more towards the shoulder. The swell too seemed a bit too big for this spot too, judging how round out the end sections were. Just like a break I surf which looks identical to the donut, anything bigger than a 3-5 ft day is just too gnarly, and the insides more towards the shoulder is the best spot to take off.

[@johnclark4649]

very fickle spot, very shallow live coral. If it's this size there would be much better options nearby and nowhere near as sketchy as this place.

[@epicprince8196]

these donuts are all crispy creams

[@Witzomania]

Gnarly!!!

[@sokbok]

@nathanflorence I want to start using PROTEKT, but dont dig the single use packaging, ask them to make a canister of the stuff. thx

[@genripper-b8q]

pretty snaggish for such a glassy looker. had to work for those

[@hughlawson5399]

your pullout game needs to be strong with this one.

[@curtisreynolds7708]

Doughnuts 🥯🍩 dishing out doughnuts 🥯🍩 who wants a dozen of the jelly filled 😂😮😢

[@davidvalido2994]

Increíble 😍

[@sandyhoy8936]

Reminds me of a special place on the north shore where i was riding a single fin lopez board from the 70's alone until as the swell was rising i was fucked until i caught a donut but made it just as the wolfpack was paddling out. then i went in

[@rafaelrobertohuezobarraza1856]

Nate, what are the odds of you going to El Salvador? There are a few spots that are not that crowded somewhere. Let me know what you think. I work with a hotel there so we could make a deal or something like that. We would love to have you man.

[@michaelj8793]

I'll definitely take a dozen 👍

[@rcg7262]

It's a bodyboard wave, girls

[@ianm659]

😂🤙🏾

[@hipsonsogbo]

Pretty sweet on the 3 seater kayak as well

[@rcg7262]

@@hipsonsogbo yessss bro! now you're surfing

[@hman7236]

So so nice

[@kevinbeatzeus]

You sent that thing to Padang and it got fixed and you got it back in what 3-4 days???? How much did that cost???

[@KnolltopFarms]

Scared me for a second, thought you'd discovered the real Donuts...

[@mikestillshreddin7636]

Donuts breaks like eclairs...shakka kahn🤙

[@derfmctighe0108]

Nathan is it the Donut or the Do Not!!

[@tommyboyce]

looks so tricky

[@baptistechazelle]

Epic vid ! Can anyone explain to me why this wave is so hard plz? Thanks

[@ErnieBateman]

insane!

[@FromTheMosh]

Still waiting on that Florence marine tights drop 🤙

[@1001Bull]

Hi Nate and fellow surfers! I am thinking of a family surf trip (myself, partner, and 2yo son). Are there any places in Indonesia that you know of that are family-friendly surf camps?

[@whitewaterwarrior3339]

You stuffed the title up

[@KaiKaiBrown.]

I like the no music videos so that i can really feel what is happening

[@sammccarthy536]

Yer boy sick watching this now bfor work.....

[@tapeworm6093]

Inside section looking a lil greenbushy

[@sangdangdoodle]

that's what i was thinking ... steeper drop on some n without the bend in the wave ....

[@kenmarapese9085]

Wow!

[@dumpy4289]

looks like the leash did not break! and a good knot in the string…. houdini knot?

[@dumpy4289]

ahhh the answer is at the end of the video! I also really like the syncronising of the water audio with the boat video - it puts more context on the frames. Also also like seeing how you guys manage the initial feeling out of the wave and reef - pindrops for safetys sake!

[@OrionsMako]

I was like, donuts, wtf? I see now...siiiick

[@ReviewsAndSo]

Where are they? i mean country? thank you btw good morning 😁

[@noefvon]

Indonesia

[@PaulK-ve1pu]

Where is this, I wonder? Not Cornwall, I'm thinking.

[@cisco6926]

Damn, I wish I was 18 again, just to surf Indo again. The slab tour continues

[@Sensiblehuman1985]

Hard day at the office

[@scottymac5174]

This spot goes from zero to 200 MPH in .1 seconds! When you see a wave eating Florences like candy. Hahaha!

[@JammaLamma]

I can honestly say I rival Nathan Florence at donuts. Also this place could also be called Folded Burritos.

[@jensometimespaul]

Get off your board and paddle the loose board. Safer and easier. Surf assistance 101.

[@reuzbl7742]

I could see why the spot was previously named “Suicides”.

[@thomassawicki2065]

It looked better from the boat before you paddled out . It must be a difficult wave to ride if the Florence brothers were struggling.

[@scottburrow8717]

Glazed or Chocolate?

[@richardelg4412]

Sugar.

[@dimebucker2]

its like a slab pointbreak

[@Indie_Malherbe]

We'll conquer donuts one day. (Maybe)

YumYum Dunkin or Crispy Cream ? 😂

I may not have seen it yet, but I hope you come up with a super Duper Duper insignia or emblem for your company. Please don’t slack.

[@MR7.62A1]

Your vids are great ,no cussing , you are so neutral. I really hope you and your brothers prosper

[@njonebale7889]

Yup looked like the wave won today!….your brother got and missed the best waves….nonetheless he had some nice tubes.
