Can we all just agree that that was one of the best surf vids we've ever watched? 2 of the best surfers / barrel riders ever negotiating - with style, mind blowing skill and wave knowledge - one of the sickest looking waves ever?!? 😊🌊😊
I'll be 70 this year and growing up in Cali. we spent years surfing, mostly Cardiff ... pipes and rivermouth .. you know depending... working class kids.. but surf devotees .... and of all the surf videos out there none has caught the essence of what it's like to surf on a big day like you did in this video .... the pull outs through the wave.... the climb to the top to get out and see how deep the water really is from up there... etc... many props and all of the angle/perspectives it took to pull off an experience that brought it all rushing back.... Jon O from Idaho (now) thankful for young entrepreneurs like you that keep it alive for us.
Erm, that's because he's competing in the Pipeline Pro, but I'm sure he'd be gunnin for it if it weren't for his commercial and competitive commitments, that was perfect 4 barrel ride he got eh? 👌
@@A_Pt_9298 yup but he was also playing it smart an not going as deep as his bro as he prob wanted to be injury free for Pipeline. Some sick pits for both tho!
You can read the sections, and I'm sure they did a bit of reading via the drone before getting it, they knew when to stall and when to speed up when it got shallow, it probably helps to have the right equipment too, and plenty of them just in case. I wonder how many boards got broke surfing it...🤔 as Nate said, 'a lot were 90% unmakeable and they got battered and then there was the paddling', don't forget, we only get to see a half hour footage from a 3 hour session...
Love how this is completely raw, uncut footage. No annoying music or fancy editing. Really puts the viewer in the moment and makes you feel how crazy that wave is. Keep it up lads, keep getting stuck in!!
John really has no business being part of this WSL clown tour, this is what every surfer dreams of. The slab tour 2024 is off to an insane start thank you guys
Best surf film I have ever seen. You can feel the energy. That water is amazing keep the underwater shots going. I love seeing what the bottom looks like.
Yep. As awesome as this wave and the surfing is, the thing I most appreciated was two bros hanging out in gnarly town together thousands of miles from home.
I liked John's "conservative" approach to start out. Absolutely essential to avoid injury at a spot like that. I'd say you're living the dream but that looks way better than any dream.
hands down the best single session I've seen. Good waves, good rides, good views, no crowds. I've always imagined what it feels like to surf a perfect secret spot(I thought secret spots don't exist anymore in current era) and nate shows me that today😊
You to live the life every surfer can only dream of! So stoked to be taken alone on your trips! Thank you for sharing from an old guy who enjoys the fact you don’t take for granted all you have been given, not to mention being in and sharing the barrel with you! Ha!
What you guys doing is so inspiring! What you're doing is pure passion! Searching for new, unridden waves and surfing them so perfectly. You're honoring your ancestors
Insane edit... One if the sickest surf clips I've ever seen.. with with just two brothers out leaves me speechless.. has to be one of the most special moments!! Nate/JJF adventures are so next level . The TOP level!!
You boys have probably some of the most amazing and full on lives of anyone on the planet. It’s truly incredible what you do. I agree with a previous comment about John getting off the tour. I believe the tour is a lot about ego but this is about so much more….. not to mention the insane surfing
So dreamy when you go searching and actually find a wave. Honestly though, I wouldn't have paddled into any if I just rocked up to this setup in my boat with no info and nobody else around. Of course I don't have the guts to paddle into a lot of the waves you do. Very impressive
Thank you for putting this out. The format, the rawness, the sounds, it just gives me goosebumps in a good way. Watching two brothers attack a wave like this is something special.
Love all of this vibe. That wave looks mean and the reef drop off is also something that gives me nightmares, let alone having that thing fold its way out of the deep 🫣
Saw your pt1 and I still haven't recored from that 1 wave that came out of nowhere, almost got you, but as close as you can get without getting smoked! So now the swell angle may have changed enough so some are makeable? Awesome adventure, scary AF and we enjoy the end result while you get closer to death on some of these SLABS you bravely face! That deep blue water is my health center for sure. Couldn't afford Oahu after 30 years there and are now living in Waimea, Big Island, Hawai'i. but through you Nathan and John, and your media crew enable me to be almost a friend along for the ride, and owe you a debt of gratitude for allowing us to tag along and enjoy whenever we want. Congratulations on being voted "Surfer of the Year" Nathan, and of John 2x world champ! You both rule!!
Great editing here! The multiple angles and slow motion added to your outstanding skills in the water. Thanks for the underwater shots too. That gives those of us who have never surfed a reef break how intense a mistake can be.
Oh my days, you guys got STACKED!!!! JJ's 4 barrel wave, absolute quality and thought it was the wave of the day and then came the next 3 videoed waves and rarrrrrrrr, great waves 👌 that wave's a gem, but it's a steam train at times and the epic ones I get the impression that you had to avoid them and time every wave to the inch otherwise you risked getting cut. It's like it's a huge boulder that's been dumped on that reef and barnacles have grown on it, madness! Totally, totally jealous of you guys, I wish we'd found waves like that when we were young, and I was fit enough, great vid, thanks for sharing and glad to see you bros together surfing 👍 what happened to Ivan?
People need to appreciate how hard it is surfing a new break for the first time, especially with no one out to reference take off area or when to kick out. Nate especially does this repeatedly and I hope people recognise how much skill and ocean knowledge is involved to make it look so easy. We are pretty blessed
Absolutely love this!! Two bros hard charging on epic waves in a stunning location!! Thank you all the efforts and time you all put in to share this with us all! God bless and protect you all! 🙏🏼👍🏼
This is the best content!! I wouldn’t mind watching them travel to remote spots and discover new amazing waves like this, such and adventure! Nate and John Wave Pirates!
That's a gnarly wave! One suggestion, if you're (or anyone else) video'ing with a camera/Gopro in the water there should be subtitles whenever anyone's speaking. If you start it, the masses will follow.
Love when you go on these adventures...It's all unspoiled/uncrowed places that very few will ever see....always good to get away and find new barrels that are "pure"....Always surf with respect for the ocean and give thanks to God for the oppurtunity to travel to these places..
Some of the best content on TH-cam appreciate you sharing. Nothing but mad love and respect for the work you guys put into riding these waves. Incredible stuff 🙏🏼🌊🤙🏼
The Slab/Reef tour continues!! That deep barrel was awesome. Brings back memories. Best part of surfing, for me, was getting shacked! Time stops. Almost indescribable. Thanks Nathan!!
Nathan’s pretty amazing in his tube-riding skills, he looks heroic and fighting for it. JJ is all just smooth with complete economy of movement, it’s like his body can just see the right line. But Nathan’s monster at 15 min id amazing.
Awesome video! Out of whispers of legend to slabs of glory!! Looks like an ancient road. If it goes flat look for artifacts!! Very big, gigantic artifacts.
The slow moes are so cool. Plus, tanks for filming underwater, always wanted to see how the situation below water surface is, type of reef, distance etc. Very interesting to see!
You've really got to experience staring down a reef drop off like that to get a feel for the _thing_ it does to your mind--it feels like - there be monsters - it totally keys in to all your predator detector senses like something big is out there ready to tear you apart.
Reminds me a bit of Cokes in the Maldives on a high day with the impossible middle section but the wind and current seem rougher. kudus for the stamina. My favorite POV channel. No talking, no music. Pure surfing.
Mr Nathaniel Flo I must say you have a nice flow to the beard going on. All that chaos on the first ride. Poor guy. But you responded very well. Wow absolutely magnificent right side beauties! Loved every second of this. Hats off to the boys working the dinghy too!
Probaly the best you tube clip in a long time. There wa a bit where you duck dived and you could see the fall off on the reef, mental!! Johns surfing and reading of the wave was next level too!!
I love this format. No music, just the sounds of the ocean and unscripted conversation. Really nicely done.
Especially a massive slab like teahupoo, never get to hear it thunder
Because they are true soul surfers... no bs
No doubt!
i like a little music mixed in for some of the clips personally but I don't mind vids like this from time to time.
YES I so agree!!! It’s so frustrating when music is played over the beautiful sounds of the ocean
Can we all just agree that that was one of the best surf vids we've ever watched?
2 of the best surfers / barrel riders ever negotiating - with style, mind blowing skill and wave knowledge - one of the sickest looking waves ever?!?

Concur Br.!
thanks man, and congrats on 70! lifetime of surfing you should be proud!
J J was surfing that wave mistake free, like he's been there before.
His reading ability is insane!
Erm, that's because he's competing in the Pipeline Pro, but I'm sure he'd be gunnin for it if it weren't for his commercial and competitive commitments, that was perfect 4 barrel ride he got eh? 👌

th-cam.com/video/I07kGhWf5OE/w-d-xo.html He has been there before.
He has, w Kelly.. few years ago.
this wave is so terrifying man idk, like it is actually kinda perfect, but just the way it ledges up out of nowhere is insane. 11:28

Love how this is completely raw, uncut footage. No annoying music or fancy editing. Really puts the viewer in the moment and makes you feel how crazy that wave is. Keep it up lads, keep getting stuck in!!
Erm, what didn't you hear about them surfing it for 3 (!) hours? That was just a snippet
@@A_Pt_9298I understand you're lonely but does that mean you must attempt to spoil everyone else's day with your argumentative comments? Aloha
I couldn't agree more. I'm a big surfing video fan. This is cutting edge work here. I have no reservations using the word "art" to describe this.
Yea Nathan created this film technique, smart style
very much appreciate the reef shot, thanks Jon for encouraging your bro to get that footy included
Yeah would be amazing to freedive that reef or drop stone over the ledge. Real beautiful and clean
This guys represent real spirit and love for surfing
This is so, so much better and more exciting than what is happening on the world tour right now.
John really has no business being part of this WSL clown tour, this is what every surfer dreams of.
The slab tour 2024 is off to an insane start thank you guys
I would prefer to see John on his own tour…
Agree to that
Yep John John’s legacy and abilities are being held back by wsl… while they champ someone who can’t even surf these kind of waves
Ya just have the Florence tour @@mikegalaxie2352
The John, Nathan, Ivan Tour.
Best surf film I have ever seen. You can feel the energy. That water is amazing keep the underwater shots going. I love seeing what the bottom looks like.
Complete agreement on that from me. Best surfing vid yet.
Glad you enjoyed it
Better than Pulse and Pulse 2?!
That drop off, into the abyss at top off reef……😳😱💪💪💪🤙🤙
So insane. I was looking for the men in grey suits to be hanging out down there.
They there !
So cool! Two brothers and an unknown wave. Enjoy your adventures and thanks for sharing.
Two brothers. And a crew with boat cameras, drones, in-water cameras, to capture every wave from 5 different angles. And we love it. :D
Yep. As awesome as this wave and the surfing is, the thing I most appreciated was two bros hanging out in gnarly town together thousands of miles from home.
Refreshing to watch a video with authenticity, no crazy editing or annoying music. Really like this vibe.
I love those underwater shots of the reef!!!
The underwater shots showing us some reef knowledge were nice. And your flow from on the water gopro to the drone are epic. 🤙🤙🤙
thnks!
On hold waiting to watch Day 2 of the Pipe Masters and Nate comes in clutch with this. Thanks dude !
This is multiple times better than the Worst Surf League
Agreed.@@skibbitybopmdada
@@skibbitybopmdada absolutely
@@skibbitybopmdada100%
I liked John's "conservative" approach to start out. Absolutely essential to avoid injury at a spot like that. I'd say you're living the dream but that looks way better than any dream.
Me too - although, Nate's "no guts no glory" approach reaps different rewards I would say. Both got their style and strategy wired in
John John’s surfing is being held back by wsl
That triple barrel at 11:00 was nuts. Love the brothers surf together. Mahalo.
hands down the best single session I've seen. Good waves, good rides, good views, no crowds. I've always imagined what it feels like to surf a perfect secret spot(I thought secret spots don't exist anymore in current era) and nate shows me that today😊

You to live the life every surfer can only dream of! So stoked to be taken alone on your trips!
Thank you for sharing from an old guy who enjoys the fact you don’t take for granted all you have been given, not to mention being in and sharing the barrel with you! Ha!
John John is a goat. There really is no debate, he is the best surfer to ever live. Argue with a wall.
agreed
These last 2 videos have been the best surf videos I've seen in my life. This should be a movie.
i am so excited to watch the coming videos of this trip!! Nate you and your brothers are Awesome❤
What you guys doing is so inspiring! What you're doing is pure passion! Searching for new, unridden waves and surfing them so perfectly. You're honoring your ancestors

great edit. love seeing same moments from go pro, than from air and from boat. Helps to understand the feeling
Glad you enjoyed it!
really special moment you guys. brothers paddling out together. a journey to the moon. much love ❤
Dropping this video at the same time the WSL is scared to run at Pipe because its too big is just *chef's kiss*
This was by far the most entertaining and engaging surf content on the internet machine. Unreal footage, love the editing.

happy to have you along for the ride man! how is living in waimea ? big island seems so epic, but slow and quite most the time?

Great editing here! The multiple angles and slow motion added to your outstanding skills in the water. Thanks for the underwater shots too. That gives those of us who have never surfed a reef break how intense a mistake can be.

Spellbound watching you guys! That reef! That wave! Those barrels! Great video!

Glad you like them! we definitely want to do more trips like this
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this unique remote experience!
what an amazing family. Good men. Good tunes. Imaginative adventures. Livng your passion is a great example for all of us. Love and respect
That's a gnarly wave! One suggestion, if you're (or anyone else) video'ing with a camera/Gopro in the water there should be subtitles whenever anyone's speaking. If you start it, the masses will follow.
Love this format! That reef disappearing into black is unreal, scary AF! But some of those barrels 😮. WD boys

Nathan charges as hard as anyone, been watching his channel for years
That's a nice deep coral pass in the reef. Maybe a long time ago there was a river or some other force that carved that over thousands of years.
the purity and serenity of this video are such a welcome feast for the senses. less in this case is certainly more.
So cool you found this spot. Love the footage...just beautiful. Thanks for showing the reef drop-off.
Some of the best content on TH-cam appreciate you sharing. Nothing but mad love and respect for the work you guys put into riding these waves. Incredible stuff 🙏🏼🌊🤙🏼
Appreciate that legend
The Slab/Reef tour continues!! That deep barrel was awesome. Brings back memories. Best part of surfing, for me, was getting shacked! Time stops. Almost indescribable. Thanks Nathan!!
Respect to your drone pilot for getting some amazing shots. Awesome post Nathan.
Johns wave @ 10:55 ! incredible
I'm thinking John told Nate to hold the best clips for a movie and that one really deserves it, so maybe Nate fulmbled it lol
My jaw dropped 😅
Nates @ 15:00 is also sick 🔥
They missed the best waves… being weird… but im sure its a day they will never forget
Kept on throwing sections
I really appreciate the simplicity of your vids..no BS music necessary.
Florence reef tour coming up, with special guests, buddy and smeagull Florence. Excellent trip two Florence Masters at work. Keep em coming boy's 🤙🤙🤙
It's mental how all the slow mo sounds like a rocket taking off. Thank you for doing what you do. Plenty mana.
Impressive setup, feels like another planet. What a crazy ledge. Good work boyas!
Excellent format and editing, love it without music, just ocean and the sounds of a session. Thank you.
Crazy bathymetry 😮 looks so Damm spooky wow
One of the best Florence videos EVER! Magic.
These shots are gorgeous. The blue of the water and perfectly clear wow. That wave is perfect and looks so dangerous 🤯
this is gnarly. mother nature is strong and u guys are just insane! best surf sesh i’ve ever saw
It’s nice to have the GoPro sound during the drone shots 👌
Nathan’s pretty amazing in his tube-riding skills, he looks heroic and fighting for it. JJ is all just smooth with complete economy of movement, it’s like his body can just see the right line. But Nathan’s monster at 15 min id amazing.
Feels like we all went with you.... And that feeling of not knowing if you can surf a spot but still try.... You captured it perfectly!! 🎉🎉
stoked you felt that! what an adventure more coming!
I struggle to read books as thoroughly as John reads waves. Epic vid. Love it when you travel together.
Stunning raw edit to capture the sense of adventure. Love it
Awesome video! Out of whispers of legend to slabs of glory!! Looks like an ancient road. If it goes flat look for artifacts!! Very big, gigantic artifacts.
What a wave! awesome camera angles…skillfull surfing and just a brilliant video
Loved the geography demonstration. Also terrifying
11:00 incredible 🌊 death defying 🪄
The slow moes are so cool. Plus, tanks for filming underwater, always wanted to see how the situation below water surface is, type of reef, distance etc. Very interesting to see!
Amazing episode for such a small crew in a remote location. Really enjoyed the switching between the different cameras.
Blessing us today Nathan with this one. Doing what the wsl can’t do.
omg the color difference where the reef drops off is amazing
Insane video Nathan! The back end work on the video splicing and drone shots/water shots was epic! What a great session for you and your bro
I have to thank you for giving us mere mortals a birds eye view of what can only be described as a magical moment. Well done for the insane footage.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome to the slab tour JJ , so sick
You've really got to experience staring down a reef drop off like that to get a feel for the _thing_ it does to your mind--it feels like - there be monsters - it totally keys in to all your predator detector senses like something big is out there ready to tear you apart.
Reminds me a bit of Cokes in the Maldives on a high day with the impossible middle section but the wind and current seem rougher. kudus for the stamina.
My favorite POV channel. No talking, no music. Pure surfing.
Might look vaguely similar, but I think there are hundreds of waves gnarlier than cokes but not as heavy as this wave.
@@jamespowrie6793 yes, it's heavier ,I related to the middle section
Your content is the best surf content out there by far. What a day! Incredible!
Mr Nathaniel Flo I must say you have a nice flow to the beard going on. All that chaos on the first ride. Poor guy. But you responded very well. Wow absolutely magnificent right side beauties! Loved every second of this. Hats off to the boys working the dinghy too!
This wave is the right that equals the Hydraulics of Teahupoo!!! Absolutely an EPIC score and I can't wait to see many more videos like this one!!!!
the sound ambiental is other level OMG
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I EVERR SEEN ON RESPECT A FREE SURF
Man this wave is extremely critical. Super expert level, jj was getting the best ones. His reads are crazy. You guys are mad men!🔥🔥🔥
his read of wave is insane
Probaly the best you tube clip in a long time. There wa a bit where you duck dived and you could see the fall off on the reef, mental!! Johns surfing and reading of the wave was next level too!!
how trippy is that ledge!!
so siccccccccc!! 2 brothers and the ocean! Jon's ability to pick the ones is uncanny
he has such a good read on it
You guys are very inspirational and genuine. Love it.
Unique angles and coverage - best surfing footage I’ve seen maybe ever. Really good work boys.
Much appreciated!
probably the most epic surf clip I have witnessed.
thanks!
Super heavy wave. Crazy set up.
One of the greatest surfing finds ever, awesome video Nate
Damn it! Absolutely insane! This is a real
Surf ! Huge congrats Nathan Florence
you boys SLAYED this vid!!! Epic rides by the brothers, thanks for all the great content!
