XXL OUTER REEF PADDLE SESSION THE CARNAGE AND GLORY OF THE NOVEMBER 24TH 2023 SWELL!

[@PARATROOPERTV-b9i]

We always appreciate you paddling! It’s the essence of surfing!

[@roguebossa]

My Sentiment Exactly!!

[@ExoticDva]

I love a good paddle session.

[@nalgasone]

Real deal

[@BriannaRubino-xy7mc]

Yes, surfing is indeed an exciting and fun sport, and for many people, paddling is one of the indispensable skills in surfing, won’t you?

[@eamonsherry2185]

Respect to Mike Stewart. Pushing 60 and still charging

[@tomasnilsson866]

A true waterman right there :)

[@powerlooper9121]

Howzit Mike.... from the airbag rider, back in the day!

[@TheLeftIsASocietalCancer]

Pushing?..😂 He was ages when I was a grom in the 80’s..

[@dwaynep.116]

I was frothing to see a bodyboarder on the outer reefs charging…and when the name was Mike Stewart!! 😮 Get that @mikestewart Yeeew

[@MrGogogordo]

Plus 1 for Mike Stewart 🙌❤️🤙

[@alexs5394]

Those drone shots really capture the heaviness in a way normal surf photography can't. These waves can almost look fun and inviting from the shoulder.

[@AndrewMitchell001]

Nice to see Mike Stewart out representing the Spongebobs,.

At my advanced age, I surf vicariously through you, one of the very best surfers in the universe! My wife and I are leaving Maui, so we can be near our grandchildren, which is the most important thing in our lives at this moment. No more surfing, windsurfing, etc. it will happen to everyone eventually. Choose wisely. Love your channel Nate!!! Please don’t stop the slab tour

[@NathanFlorence]

Slab tour goes on! Thanks for watching!

[@reddiver7293]

Nathan Florence is a phenomenon! As someone who has surfed the North Shore (nothing close in size) I can't believe that he has no fear. More, he is so experienced and conditioned, he trusts himself in calculated risks. Full respect for you, Mr. F.

[@bybreno23]

Glad I stayed till the end to watch those sunset clips from up there, Nathan is so blessed to be born and raised in that island… Can’t imagine how it must feel to live this life, so thank you for sharing a little bit with us! North shore is my absolute favorite place! Keep ‘‘em coming brah

[@NathanFlorence]

Thanks for enjoying! We are blessed to have grown up Here!

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@jodyrbailey8462]

With great respect, Nathan, you have achieved top tier status. And without needing to follow competition schedules and commercial agendas. You will achieve senior status in due time. Between now and then it is your opportunity to achieve wisdom. To do so, it is available to you, and ultimately necessary if you are to realise your unbounded potential to make your public displays selective. Koa Rothman is travelling parallel beside you, the two heirs apparent. If you were to observe, study, observe, plan, observe, decide, observe, adjust plans and decisions as dictated by accumulated understanding, then execute the exact plan from the exact position at the chosen break, on the exact set wave type at the exact optimal tide and swell, you are in the position to ride the wave of the session, at every session, at every premier spot in the world. Wisdom is selectivity. Of course free surf yourself ragged for fun, but your own commercial persona is still a work in progress. It is yours to choose how it develops. Be more selective. Choose and construct your future remarkable achievements. You, and Koa, have that available to you right now, and very few ever do. However you decide, congratulations on your talent, dedication to pushing boundaries and monumental work ethic. The wisdom earned from maturing is the next level. Go hard, wisely, young man. Jb

[@pattywickson9046]

Nate is something else. He's one hard dude. Not many people would survive the drillings he takes. And he doesn't mind taking a few in one session. Hellman. 🙌

[@benyhuckaby7478]

The sunset clips at the end are absolutely insane dude. That’s one of the more special images of Hawaii I’ve seen

[@dalj9875]

Wow!...love the waves...love the surfing...love the broken boards...love the cats...love it all...but sometimes, when you film and then edit like at the end of the vid, it just becomes insanely great!...what a sunset...and the pullback to get overall view of the ocean and the sets was so very special...thanx Nate for those last minutes from the cliff...dj

[@dunningkruger3774]

I can't get enough of the wide angle views the drones provide. 50 years of surfing and I always looked for the wide shots that show the whole shebang. The old shots by Granny from way back by Sharks Cove were always my favorites. Even in the old days the heli shots were too tight. Now we see the NORTH SHORE the way it should be. The sunset shots were the perfect ending.

[@PenitentPenguin]

Another stunner from Paradise... Thanks for sharing.

[@rangus300]

I reckon that outer reef wave is the most picturesque wave in the world. Jjf on it a couple years ago was so beautiful

[@jamesc983]

Tom just paddled out in the dark, by himself 😳 As you do like 🤯😆 some guy 💪🏻

[@willmiddleton9199]

Man Nate that was a really good vid. I LOVE the outer reef paddle sesh, but I have really been impressed with your (kind of) classical music selections on a number of your vids over the last year or so. I am a music guy and your use of impactful, classical music in your vids has been beyond fantastic and so on point. It adds SO much to the impact of the video(s). You are the best, thank you ! Stay safe brother !

[@fredcoler5636]

Thanks!

[@NathanFlorence]

Thanks fred!

[@Kyntai]

Excellent content. The whole package is there.

[@bubbabigmin]

Never seen a single swell move so much sand! Here on Kaua'i it took a 200 yard wide, three mile stretch of sand out in less than 12 hours!

[@NathanFlorence]

Crazy right i never seen so much sand displaced either

[@chriskamalski]

Same thing happened in JBay on the Sept 16/17the mega swell and we still haven’t recovered

[@bubbabigmin]

@@chriskamalski It's all trapped under all those beachfront houses!

[@nickortcoski6769]

Gifts from the gods it seems. Chargers being chargers charged the hell out of it! Seems to cost no matter what, pay to play but all home safe so stoked you all can share it with us all over the planet. Thank you. Aloha 🌺 ❤✌️🙏

[@ELMENDORFX]

Goodness gracious. Those radio controlled little plastic surfers in the tiny shore-break look so life-like

[@howdy1487]

Skis have changed the game as much as anything I can think of, like the first use of a fin. Waves that were considered unrideable were conquered by guys being towed. That encouraged paddlers to give those waves a go and expand the limits. It opened the whole world of waves. I'm old enough to remember when Waimea Bay was the spot while Jeff Clark had the ultimate one-man secret spot to all to himself, Mavs. Skis took water safety to a whole new level and facilitated the charge. Hat's off to all the Water Safety Angels.

[@joehernandez2461]

The world is ending as we know it. Stamped in Time Nathan Florence was charging the hardest. Everywhere. This young man has a brilliant mind and balls bigger than the new world order.

[@vickielewis3848]

Board busting grinders. Live to see another day. Big bright pop up buoy flags for the go pros. Killer sunset.👋👱‍♀️🇺🇲

[@michelob.]

I’m absolutely jaw dropped! Wicked! Damn it on the GoPro! Boards too obviously!

[@CraftyCraftCraft]

Siiiiiiiick!!!

Just simply, shoulder/ arms of steel and definitely brass balls 👏👏👏🙌🙏🔥🤙🤙🏆👍

[@leehughes7031]

Humble group of men who are complete heavy’s, but don’t walk around like some of these MMA KOOKS who think they’re the toughest coolest thing to walk the earth. So sick of it !!! Thanks for being normal lol 😂 Love your content Nate thank you 😊

[@solomon6082]

Glory glory hallelujah

[@mikebranch7928]

Inject this vid directly into my veins. Was waiting for this ever since the swell came. Love the paddle sesh. The footage was epic.

[@JMH33SD]

You can learn a lot about the ocean and waves by sitting up on a hill overlooking a coast line that you surf regularly. It's amazing what you can learn by just standing or sitting and simply watching the swell hit the reefs and the way the water moves.

[@jennifuzz3316]

All Nathan wants for Christmas is" GoPro gift cards" 😆. It will be an EPIC winter can't wait for the footage!!!

[@cythera431]

Amazing footage from the air of such heavy conditions all along that coastline. Love to see big outer reefs breaking...and dudes with the guts to surf them.

[@steverakelly]

Healeys ride was masterful 👏🏻👏🏻

[@justintindel9271]

Clip at 9:40 is so bad ass. You guys are Heavy Metal 🤘

[@Sol_Weird]

Intense and beautiful man! Glad you all made it back safe!

[@Stormsurf001]

Great work! I always appreciate seeing how the swell reacts at non-mainstream breaks. Thanks so much!

[@bwhit716]

Always love watching you guys paddle into big H. Closing shots and sunsets….mahalo Nate🙏🏼🏄

[@derfels9291]

Okay 'Surfer of the Year' you just take it easy for now okay big guy! Please dont brake ur back before the end of the year champ

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Loved the ending with your wonderful wife dude, special stuff, beautiful colours to compliment her as well.

[@Revtheoryhellyeah]

Nate, where do you find the motivation to push through and get out there on those mornings where you're looking out at the freakishly big swell? What makes you decide not to take the day off? And do you feel pressure from outside forces sometimes making it feel like you gotta go out there?

[@NathanFlorence]

I mostly pressure myself, i have a huge amount of pressure on myself to not let myself down, the disappointment is worse then anything, i just want to continue pushing the limits of paddle surfing for my own personal goals! That means i need to be in top shape and try to be on the heaviest waves of every swell

[@Revtheoryhellyeah]

@@NathanFlorence Thanks, Nate.

[@unkletonyahearns179]

#1 Fan. Keep charging🏆🏆🏆❤️❤️❤️🏄🏼‍♂️🤙🏼

[@unkletonyahearns179]

Start putting sunscreen on top of your ears… I just got part of mine chopped off

The light during the sunset was very special.

12:53 "..doesn't work mate...!" Great Aussie accent from the "Nort" Shore surfer!

[@OrionsMako]

Always dig starting my wheelwatch with these. Thank you.

[@EMan-cu5zo]

Beautiful end of the film. Great view and perfect sunset. You said one guy paddled out in the early morning before the sun has come up? That man has got a gut of steel and endurance. No way most would do that in those conditions.

[@cbcb2828]

“This guys Taking his sweet time going down the road” 😂 my goodness what happened to slow down brah , it’s Hawaii ! you’re on island time! 🤣🤣🤣

killer break & monster props for doing it.

Beautiful, big and unbelivably fast break! Awesome! Mahalo! Just subscribed!!!

[@wyatt1476]

Nate posts, I click. Don’t even think. It’s the flow state Nate has taught me about.

[@timothyskattum950]

Watching the earth fallback on itself as the sun seems to rotate away is truly beautiful,,, but she did say it wasn’t big enough 😜🤗🥰

[@Bryan-jd7os]

The Bolt was broken!? That board got you into some epic waves! Maybe have it glued back together and make it wall art? Maybe do a giveaway for it? I know any of us would love to have that board above the mantle! 😀 Chillin in Venice Beach California. 😎

[@surfer8210]

Great video…!!! How about an air tag in a waterproof case attached to the gopro? I’m not sure that’s even a “thing” but maybe that would work. Once the swell backs off it’s time for some diving.

[@wasabiginger6993]

Gorgeous shots! Thank you!

[@cliffordbarber5997]

Another great video putting us old timers out there.

[@asrotties]

Epic sunset from Zords mansion. Awesome video as always. Would be fun to dive and find that Go Pro that Nate lost, it would tell a story of the carnage he felt.

[@leannecuster1490]

Great footage surfing video

[@simeongower7089]

Yah Mon!

[@marco_s3025]

1 is a accommodation yet 2 in that size and speed of that storm swell is incredible

[@bennyblanko3]

Cool! Looked big and bumpy which always lends it to a bunch of eating ... Hopefully your gopro will wash up and someone will find it and give it back to you, and we can see the inside of that monster barrel!

[@steppingrazor1823]

Best video of the year

[@2enZenn]

Thanks for taking me there for that sunset.

[@killbill5486]

That true Hawaiian spirit in you comes out in your desire to paddle when possible. Too bad Gopro doesn't have some kind of bright colored floating attachment for days like this.

[@guillaumedupieux2216]

An airbag would be great if they managed to create it light enough

[@Steve-hs5le]

Drum roll please and the winner is,all of you big wave warriors. Beautiful video

[@calnative4904]

Outer reef madness!

[@facediaper09]

You're OG status Nate. A tru traveler sending it.

[@blackknightadam]

You always add the second sticky pad and string to the gro pro it will never come off its like a double leash plug

[@mylenablagg7902]

WOW just WOW Fantastic Badassery

[@FinancePro203]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the swell looked to be almost purely from the north and would have benefitted from some westerly push?
