WESTERN AUSTRALIA BIG SESSION AT "THE BOX" SLAB TOUR WITH MY BRO JOHN

[@NathanFlorence]

Stop 2 on the Slab tour how sick! 24hrs to slabs and a hell time!! Loving surfing with my bro and friends in aus and major impressed by the young ladies sierra Kerr and Caity Simmers who were really pushing for how young they are and catching great waves!!

[@billyjones9442]

Did you sit in the channel and wait for waves that pass the locals by? Or let me guess, you’re a pro so you don’t need to. But oh yeh, CT surfers who aren’t pipeline locals have to sit in the channel and wait for whatever passes you lot by! Did your parents raise you that way or is it just an attitude you and your friends developed?

[@NathanFlorence]

@@billyjones9442 i did exactly that, locals had their pick of any wave i only went on ones nobody was going on or were out of position for and couldnt catch, thats how it is everywhere in the world little guy

[@tzt1182]

[@kbe7368]

The Blonde Frog.. Legend 💯

Loving BettyLou also at main break, everywhere really

[@grakkerful]

Nathan has been killing it for a while, but this past year or two seems to just be stepping into a very elite stratosphere.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

For real!

[@NathanFlorence]

Thanks boss

Genius

[@NathanFlorence]

@@Elloguvanah haha keep it going

[@n0b0dy-u9u8z]

Between the editing, music, storyline and above all else the surfing you've definitely elevated your game. And still seem very humble

[@solomon6082]

That last part is/has the most value strangely enough ..

[@franciscoferraz4890]

Agree 100%

[@mattymalpass]

Was great meeting you the other afternoon Nate after we finished our Hike of the cape to cape for the day. Stoked to meet Erik after exchanging messages, also great to meet Zoard and Luke! Thanks for the Protekt hydration you gave us. I used it on the last day of our hike! Enjoy the rest of your stay and if you need anything in Perth please reach out! 👌

[@NathanFlorence]

Stoked to meet you too glad you enjoyed the protekt! So epic you completed it all!

[@mattymalpass]

Massive fan of yours mate. Couldn’t believe it when you offered the protekt! So sick to see the boys we watch so much of just sitting there checking the wedge. Jump onto the gram and have a look at the photos I put up from the cape track, tagged you in one 😉

[@Sol_Weird]

Way more entertaining than a certain surfing tour that shall not be named.

[@NathanFlorence]

😂😂

[@Elloguvanah]

Woke S L

[@TAKIDANI]

Except when John has a heat

[@tzt1182]

I have to admit, the Marg's comp has been pretty good. Best contest this year so far, IMHO.

[@williamdrose9350]

Be great if the Hui could run all these contests like they do the shootout

[@seblivefloormanager]

Love love love seeing you and your brother tear and rip a Boxes session together, while knowing that JJ was also sensationally charting his way through the Margs River Pro. I also love the way you travel, "the closer we get to not making it, the better the score" 😂 Love the respect you show wherever you go, and the respect you get shown in return. You know how to ingratitiate yourself with locals who are clearly happy to share their wave with you and JJ. Lets be honest, I can't think of anywhere in the world that wouldn't be stoked to see you come rocking up, wait your turn and then blast the sh#t out of whatever wave comes through for you. Love the barrel you get in front of your brother when he has to ditch his board to roll out of your way,😂 then showed us the POV. You and Zourd must be having a blast! Massive respect to you, your brother John John, Zoard, and the rest of the team that gives us these brilliant videos on such a regular basis 🤙✨️😊🙌

[@stevehix1656]

Nathan you JJ and Ivan better love on your Mom,she raised three wonderful young men. It's not easy,I raised five. Keep up the great work with the videos and Pod cast with Koa. The barrel rides are Savage!!!!!Dang awesome advice for the find.

[@Druehealey]

So sick to actually see u and John in person dream come true

[@oldwelshlady6584]

Awwwwww one of the reasons I loved watching you coz you showed Yr swim out and no music just beach and surf sounds. Or is it just when you have the camera is it just water sounds, which I love. Its unintentional asmr.

[@michaelyapp6099]

it's always an extra special video when you and your brother meet up. thanks

[@OIP_1]

haven't been in heavy surf in a long while, thanks for reminding me of the feeling of someone cheering your barrel from the shoulder. the gopro shots are absolutely epic

[@rideboards]

I appreciate the fin trick for getting them set in

[@sir.benzerlot4571]

The box videos are my favourite, I wait all year for this moment

[@Sol_Weird]

...literally emerging FROM the foam ball.... Is that dude a young clone of John?! Even sounds like him. Also, Footage of you and your brother walking from the box made the WSL footage yesterday, so was looking forward to this!

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

It’s John John John Florence

[@mackash]

Always dreamed of surfing the box ever since i seen it in a mag back in the 90s. I'd rather surf the box than Marg River even though its on my backhand. Looks like such a sick little barrel. Luv how it squares up after the take off. Cheers fer share'n Nate.

[@stephenbarron8543]

That first POV barrel and backflip were epic.

[@frowenallen]

Music choices matched With the clips are just touching my soul. Thx.

[@TPJN777]

sick session, would love to see you out at supertubes (just by Number 16) next time in Melbourne/Vico

[@FromTheMosh]

And to think they haven't held any heats here in the wsl. Super sad. But stoked you had a awesome session. Really liked the music choices in this one. 🤙🤙.

[@mrh3578]

Another great vid Nathan. Yet another scary ass wave. Nice job though. Looked like you were having fun.

[@KobieD]

Could watch your videos literally all day 🔥

[@midi1529]

My 6"0 is my Santa Anna River mouth sunrise memory, best tubes ever scored. Your's is sick!

Yew...I just can't go past the POV stuff Nathan 🙌I need those views bad....my backs fuked so haven't been in the water for years...Cheers dude🤙

[@viking0116]

What an amazing life! Thanks for sharing your adventures. Can’t beat ending that with coffee and pie.

[@timconlin3756]

Hey Tim here love you a little snippets I wrote you are a while back and the guy in Encinitas said that beat up with some cancer in it kind of ruined my surfing, but I’m on the Menden your videos bring me a lot of happiness. Thanks. Much appreciated much love.

[@kevinrice4887]

It's difficult to line up how good these kids are,until you see them toy with a wave like the box,40 years ago tried so many times to make the take off,no success,and it wasn't just me....these boards are like Formula 1 cars,we used to ride chunky single fins,that aside the skill level on these guys is insane!!!!! like who deliberately stalls to get deeper at the box 😎

[@robbphillips2845]

Welcome to Australia Mate, we all love you guys here in Aus.Hope Hueys kind to you and get shacked out of your mind.

[@jasonsiebel8076]

Epic footage man. It's so good here in the SW Huh? Smiles for miles. 🤙⚡️🤙

[@parkerallwood5492]

Predictions, Tank model will be the Excalibur of the 2023 slab tour. 8:20 this beach angle looks so insane especially for this wave,so underground.

[@paulb3436]

Oh, if it's not too much trouble, may the editor hombres please put the most excellent tracklists in the bio!? ... Awesome music choices! Your vids rock, shout out to whoever edits and shoots...

[@norman-gregory]

Better late than never....Aloha to Oz. Stay safe and upright...roll on the "slab tour".

[@karensmith7289]

Forgive me if this is intrusive but just curious if you smoke any bongs to warm up and to relax the muscles and nerves before paddling out to these crazy waves…. back when I was charging I would rip the back off my ex misses to calm the nerves before paddling out at 4ft cape solander,

[@DwainDwight]

I grew up down there. many killer breaks. thx for sharing. Yallingup Coffee Roasters, Dunsborough Bakery for pies.

[@squishypush3343]

The one year they ran the comp at the box almost ruined main break for me. I clicked as fast as i could when I saw your vid. John is absolutely lapping the competition at this point

[@masolino616]

this tour much better than the championship tour

[@BigDaddy-hn7oh]

Dude you're handling job well done I'm finally going to be able to Surf again you seen me through some really tough times cowboy . I'm not complaining you just got to fight through it way to go brother

[@williamdrose9350]

Great POV barrel in the middle of the vid, really showed how top to bottom that wave GEEV EM AT MAIN BREAK JOHN

[@ohhreally92]

Im in margs at the moment too! have surfed all week from tuesday to today absolute scorefest every day. hopefully see ya round mate enjoy WA!

you should've gone to shark island while you were in Sydney, pretty close to the box when it is pumping. hopefully the swell will line up for your the rest of the trip 👍good luck bro.

He did !

[@cory_hugs7850]

That’s some Jedi surfing NateDog! Sick drop in and rip that bottom turn into the meat pie tube 🤙🏼 yew

[@oscarmurphy3812]

About 25 years ago I stayed 3 days at Gnarabup while an out-of-this-World swell worked every reef in sight, kids in a sweetie shop!

That’s what I’m talking about my brother… They were interviewing Kelly yesterday and all he kept saying is look at the box it’s 6 foot… Awesome

[@unkletonyahearns179]

Maybe you’ll start following me on Instagram🙏🏻😂🏆

[@skone0136]

Opening round a few guys got in the box

[@Elloguvanah]

Hazard Canyon-- San Luis Obispo, CA next winter on slab tour PLEASE. Like a combo of Shark Island and The Box. Best wave in CA and hardly gets any shine. Best wave in US, actually. Except for Pipe maybe 🤔

[@jtad3]

As usual great surfing. But I’m jealous of the fact that you pop your fins in while your board is face down on an asphalt parking lot. 😮😅

[@scorpiistar]

that wax tip you gave cleared my constipation right up!

[@richardharris5200]

Drops were absolute nuts!

[@sMVshortMusicVideos]

At first glance on that deep one, I was thinking , too deep, but you made it.

[@JackC145]

Would love to know how you fall without getting crushed into the rock. It looks like it's two feet deep there. Is there a strategy? Great vid!

[@fathomtheundertaker4356]

The strategy is.....Don't fall

[@rainscratch]

@@fathomtheundertaker4356 The first rule of surfing.

[@vescovo3631]

Would love to see you tackle some slabs around the Walpole - Albany stretch. Hopefully the slab tour and weather take you that way. Maybe one day.

[@miccoshouse]

Epic footage crazy bro ❤❤❤

[@SurfingwithHaze]

Love the enthusiasm to drop into some of those slabs!

[@_VTMC]

These edits are better than the comp

[@colhutchins]

Go the slab tour! WSL does it again. Surely it can't be that hard to take it over there, even just when the tide is good?

[@rextimmy]

They have had heats at the box before

[@colhutchins]

Obviously, so why not the other day.

[@toddjohnsonboardco]

"The closer u are to not making it makes it better when u do" Isn't that slab surfing in a nutshell. haha

[@paulb3436]

Did these guys take the V? I know Slater wouldn't but I imagine Oz (like the States still mandates it. Just curious if it's still a thing...

[@jshillkiller2262]

Sick..as usual..amazing capture

[@audioeins]

sick. charging. those boils are so ominous :)

[@richardmanderscheid6836]

Those boils are just sick two seconds in.

[@Rockbottomsurf]

Looks like it was bigger and cleaner than the first slab. Definitely watch out for Roo’s after sunset and get a meat pie into ya. 😂

[@julzylil]

Film more of getting pies with John!

[@cisco6926]

The domestic terminal is miles away from the international terminal in Sydney. I almost missed a few flights because of that. Sick barrels again!!

[@NathanFlorence]

Bro we almost got fked from that little situation

[@lukekilah6257]

Visits Oz, precedes to chase every famous bodyboard slab we got. 😂. Bro paddle out bells beach 😅 oh wait that won’t make you cash 💰

[@jarredtremain4644]

Cranking mate. At 13yrs old that's first place while bodyboarding I got slammed hard, heavy pits and being spat out hard. One time blowing me off board. Love Mr Lippy at end. Spent weeks in holidays with mates staying at Prevelly. One time saw massive shark just 20m out back and we caught 1st wave straight in onto reef getting slammed and stood on dry reef and watched for 30min then went back out because it was cranking, had it to ourselves most of the time otherwise maybe couple other blokes. Different these days. Avagud1 you were rippin.

[@hipsonsogbo]

What are those supplements that you put in your water? Where do you order from? Oh found it Protekt.

[@Macnutkauai]

Love you Nathan, but stress is getting financially pushed out of your home in Hawaii. Dat real stress braddah, have fun in oz
