Keep strumming away, brother… Listen when I have hips and knees replaced… I ride prone on an 8 foot soft top… Just like you tubed and nose slides… So much fun on the right wave… Love this… But yeah, maybe take a lesson
Many of Nathan's videos show the graft of the paddle out, the camaraderie in the water, the amazing waves and dangerous rides. That's all great, I'd watch it all day. But this video is great example of other thing he manages to capture on a regular basis: the essence of exploring, being in wild places, and hanging out with friends. Love it.
Southern lights were incredible. We got the northern lights in northern California which never happens.. spiritual. Wife and daughter and me danced and cried. EPIC
This is quintessential NZ - Proud Mary keeps on giving, the Tui in the trees and a hand shake is as good as done. This place was my home and it brought tears to revisit vicarously. Please Nathan & Mahina keep these wonderful trips shared - your buzz is our buzz Aroha x
Bro!! I love all your videos, but this was a gem. Kiwis at their finest. They certainly know how to adventure by the sketchiest means possible. Which always makes it more memorable. And somehow, they always pull through.

Welcome to NZ Nathan n crew. I guess you have worked out that we are pretty cruisy here. Enjoy your time & take a good look around, this country is amazing!!
Nate, super fun to see you on a bodyboard. Some days it's the perfect tool for the job. Way to many guys look down on it for no good reason. I've been surfing for 57 years, and ride a full spectrum of boards, from tiny fish to big wave boards to specialized nose riders. I still think bodyboarding might be THE most fun one can have on Planet Earth.
@@NathanFlorence, oh God, yes! Foiling! How did I leave that out! I have a pretty sweet setup and LOVE it. Btw Nate, nice bodyboarding on your shortboard. I was totally impressed, lol :-)
Nathan you need a few years to cruise Aotearoa and to meet the people who know what is down that road, over that hill, across that estuary, along that beach. Come back one day and use all your connections. To catch that night sky, clearly - the gods of nature are on your side. Stay well.
Thank you for that , I haven't been aotearoa for nearly 15 years , my heart , my family , the Bush, the beaches and the waves are calling me back there , Aroha.
Nate thats a true dream for every surfer, as we enjoy the small things in life, meeting beautiful people, and connecting to nature. More of these to light out souls would be nice ❤
Not many slabs in NZ, but there's a couple if you know where to look and the swell, wind, tide, sun, moon and the rings of Saturn are lined up just right with Uranus!
@@rj8557 Yeah and they each break once a decade when the wind and swell patterns are juuuuussst right, just in case my comment went over the top of your head.
@@rj8557 And I'm talking actual, proper world class slabs, not once in a blue moon, clamp on the end, sorta heavyish, but not really that gnarly and don't handle over four foot slabs like 95 of the 100 you're talking about are. Source - I'm from NZ and have surfed most of them over the last 30 years.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’d muuuch rather watch these videos of epic little adventures scoring novel waves than a slow-mo gopro vid of pipeline (not that surfing pipe isn’t very commendable)
Nice Maiden cover dude!! "From the coast of gold, across the seven seas Travelin' on, far and wide But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else I close my eyes and I think of home Another city goes by in the night Ain't it funny how it is? You never miss it til' it's gone away And my heart is lying there, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian! So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years!
Man i luv that song. Another one of theirs that i luv like that one is "Coming Home". Nate would relate to Coming home, its all about jetsetting around the world in planes
Aotearoa. The land of the long white cloud. Proud to see you in my country enjoying what it has to offer. Epic you scored the southern lights! Quirky wave you found. Sick back hand drag tube! Nailed it. Chur from Taranaki 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽
I loved this video you guys. Youre such humble people, you really enjoy the people and the beauty of wherever you are, its so cool, and makes your videos so fun to watch, thank you. ❤❤❤
So many memories And thank you for that speight s One day i am going to be once more visiting maoron , matt and martin under that big long white cloud! Soon come cause jah will provide Kia kaha El ugo/ Chur to all da boys out at the point at the port ( waikato that is!)
I hope you enjoyed my beautiful country Nate. So rad to see you down here. Not sure about you drinking Speights though. We have a saying in New Zealand, Drink Speights loose your mates. But you're alright mate! CHUR!
I’ve been wanting to go to NZ for years, I ride BMX as well and they’ve got some amazing trails in some picturesque places. Not to mention the surf and the people from what I hear are awesome as well! I would def bring my respect and love, because that place is special.
Welcome to New Zealand Nate hope you have an epic, also hoping you’ll hook up some retailers for the Florence apparel, blitz surf shop in Gisborne would be great, if you’re going there call in and see Euan I’m sure he’ll be stoked to see you guys…
Welcome from Taranaki hope to see you over this way decent swell hitting Sunday, looking forward to see where you head next, hope you score where ever you go🤙 chur
"She's singin'like a bird😃!" ala Daryll Kerigan, The Castle🤣🤣🤣🤣.. Sweet as clip Bru, pretty tough to beat that part of the world and the people who live there.... And I'm guessing that with all the time you've spent in Oz & NenZed, hanging with folks from there, and your weird/awesome sense of humor, that you are already familiar with The Greatest Film Ever Made In The Southern Hemisphere, The Castle, and if not, go watch it immediately!!!
forgot to link the FLORENCE site! cool episode...looks fun to be you!! the intro was edited perfectly to include your guitar...most memorable part of the vid, along with the beautiful edit of the night sky.
Thanks for all this, mainly inspiration. About the playing song, you are almost there, keep on trying (here in Brasil, this song is called: Asa Branca, that means White wing, a cultural heritage).
Found myself bellyboarding just like this at waist-chest high sandspit a few months ago, getting shacked more than stand-up which made me dream of Greenough's rides there. Felt awesome. ❤
Tell them to go home, all the haters! You're having fun and learning something new. I try to learn something new everyday, most of the time its construction management. But never stop learning!
the absolute definition of " travel surfing" Whether its 30 min. or 17 hrs. ..... with travel, you have skin in the game and you make the best of what you're served.... I personally would'nt have it any other way!
I used to live in nz and it was one of most incredible places to live and surf! Hope you have a fun time! There some pretty sweet spots on the south island to check out!

Man, imagine having this place as your backyard like these fine folks! I’d explore my tushy off, and maybe pretend I’m being chased by “Predator” throughout the rainforest 5 days a week. So dang cool 🤙🏼
@NathanFlorence if you have a down day on the slab tour. Can you do a gear break down video? Everything from the boards you’re riding, the new Florence waterproof jackets. Even the camera and lenses Zoard uses. 👌
That wave is an anomaly. Such explosive wave action would normally wear away anything in its path. Maybe it’s the result of recent earthquake or volcanic activity? Weird but awesome!! Not quite a slab, but the fab tour continues!!
I know i know you guys are tripping on my insane musical abilities ! Probably dying for more incredible soundtracks 😅
Keep strumming away, brother… Listen when I have hips and knees replaced… I ride prone on an 8 foot soft top… Just like you tubed and nose slides… So much fun on the right wave… Love this… But yeah, maybe take a lesson
It reminded me of some kind of antihero skateboarding videos intros...Nice filming- editing!!!
luckily it can only get better.. - thanks for sharing the adventures!
its good man
@@meyburgh hahaha!

Haha! Awesome mate!!! What a great day! Thanks for the shout! Laughs and a great day!

I 100% agree choose the craft for the conditions! Body surf, surf, body board, long board, foil, we do it all and enjoy it all!
@@NathanFlorence, oh God, yes! Foiling! How did I leave that out! I have a pretty sweet setup and LOVE it.
Btw Nate, nice bodyboarding on your shortboard. I was totally impressed, lol :-)
Aotearoa doesnt get better than this...nature,waves and awesome humans!! enjoy your stay
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!

Blair the legend lives in old zealand .
An absolute brother.
Super stoked xx
Ahh hecks yes!! That’s the kind of wave that many of us growing up surfing rocky beaches can relate to. Not heavy but good times had by all.
Not many slabs in NZ, but there's a couple if you know where to look and the swell, wind, tide, sun, moon and the rings of Saturn are lined up just right with Uranus!
Hahaha spot on!
There's about 100 slabs in nz at least , & if u know nz wind & swell patterns its easy to score.
@@rj8557 Yeah and they each break once a decade when the wind and swell patterns are juuuuussst right, just in case my comment went over the top of your head.

Thanks for taking us the adventure!! Nathan the epic guitar player and body boarder!! The solar flare lighting was amazing!
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’d muuuch rather watch these videos of epic little adventures scoring novel waves than a slow-mo gopro vid of pipeline (not that surfing pipe isn’t very commendable)
Que Nates' multiple angle slow mo pipe barrels. 😂
Yeah you can only handle so much POV go pro
I actually disagree, I don’t want this to become a JOB blog lol
What? Pipeline over this rubbish anyday.
Definitely
Nice Maiden cover dude!!
"From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
Travelin' on, far and wide
But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes and I think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is? You never miss it til' it's gone away
And my heart is lying there, will be 'til my dying day, Adrian!
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years!
Man i luv that song. Another one of theirs that i luv like that one is "Coming Home". Nate would relate to Coming home, its all about jetsetting around the world in planes
Welcome to Aotearoa .
Real authentic kiwi adventure there bra
Aotearoa. The land of the long white cloud. Proud to see you in my country enjoying what it has to offer. Epic you scored the southern lights! Quirky wave you found. Sick back hand drag tube! Nailed it. Chur from Taranaki 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽
Welcome to New Zealand Nate. Stoked to have you here 👍

Safe travels.
I loved this video you guys. Youre such humble people, you really enjoy the people and the beauty of wherever you are, its so cool, and makes your videos so fun to watch, thank you. ❤❤❤
Started like a sic feature film with a trippy tune, Mahina’s sweet encouragement, and the fire. Looks like you’re enjoying the ride lad, keep on 🤙🏽
Welcome to Aotearoa bruv. So cool to see your misses charge on the bboard. Nga mihi
You keep sending the insane geetar playing Nate Hendrix!! Your videos always give me such happy vibes brother.
That was one of the best episodes I’ve watched. Thankyou
NZ is SO BEAUTIFUL. The nature is pristine
More of a "Gravy" wave but, such a nice setup.
I thought you were in Canada till I heard the accents.
Looks fun!
W0W! That was one very complex piece of music you composed in the beginning!? Well done. ;) Thanx for the share.
So many memories
And thank you for that speight s
One day i am going to be once more visiting maoron , matt and martin under that big long white cloud!
Soon come cause jah will provide
Kia kaha

Chur to all da boys out at the point at the port ( waikato that is!)
Mary.....jane, not in it for the surfing but subbing for the kiwi vibes 😎loving the serenity 😀
This man shreds not only waves but also guitars, the legend continues.
Love it, this summed up New Zealand and its people so well
I hope you enjoyed my beautiful country Nate. So rad to see you down here. Not sure about you drinking Speights though. We have a saying in New Zealand, Drink Speights loose your mates. But you're alright mate! CHUR!
Love what you did with the musical intro, that whole first minute felt really special

First drank Speights at the Cardrona Hotel in 1982. Travelled to Otago and Southland flyfishing many times. Best folks I ever met.
So wholesome! Love the vids, vibes and epic surf - as always!!
Wow! What an amazing day! Thanks Nathan and crew for documenting and sharing these adventures! So inspiring💯🤙
Welcome from Taranaki hope to see you over this way decent swell hitting Sunday, looking forward to see where you head next, hope you score where ever you go🤙 chur
Amazeballs Nate. Love all NZ. Would love to go back one day.
I'm an old man and don't surf. Just subscribed. Love it!
That 360 gut slide was siick! Man of many talents Nathan! Enjoyable vid as always👍

Tell him he's dreaming!
How many days in a past life growing up in NZ, we did this kind of things too. This video brings back so many memories.
This is the kind of surfing stuff I Love. Pure, just having fun.
one of my fave films so far on the journey brother. just love this. new NZ tourist ambassador :)
Joyous! Love the adventure vids and the wave sharing!
G'day 😁 amazing country, heaps of uncrowded waves,if your game,looks like the speed hump got the best of that session,,,
Welcome to New Zealand Nate! I hope you've got some good contacts here, endless possibilites, there's slabosaurus's lurking on our long coastline
That was some top notch prone riding while doing the barrel! You got in a couple nice laybacks too hehe. 😁
Awesome that you got to see the southern aurora that night. Never seen it that strong before.
Amazing Wave I love that area and the Lights of the Creator at the end are
GloRiouS!
forgot to link the FLORENCE site!
cool episode...looks fun to be you!!
the intro was edited perfectly to include your guitar...most memorable part of the vid, along with the beautiful edit of the night sky.
Epic video Nathan, loving the exploring as much as the surfing.
Another epic video ! You need to make adventure movies ......Ohhh your already doing that
NZ is a magic place. I have to get there one day
Yup, I knew it... He shreds on the ole geetar too! Yes brother!😁 Another dope vid guys! Luv it!🔱
Welcome to the land of the long white cloud, Florence crew. Stoked you got to see the Aurora in the most beautiful dark park in the world
These videos never disappoint - epic as always!
that scenery was amazing , love new zealand.
Thanks for all this, mainly inspiration. About the playing song, you are almost there, keep on trying (here in Brasil, this song is called: Asa Branca, that means White wing, a cultural heritage).
chur🤙🤙 I used to live in Hawai'i, been here for 20 years, nice to have you guys over here in Aotearoa.

If the boats holding water in it'll hold it out too I guess 😂😂😂
Surfing, Kiwi-as style. Chur Nathan love your vids, welcome to our slice of heaven.
Kia Ora Brother!
Fear is like Salt,
Too much no good,
Not enough bland,
Just right sublime,
Keep riding that line,
Kick out every time!
Fantastic country… home of gr8 Rugby players… beautiful colors in the Borealis… lucky you! 🍻🙏

Yeah will do!
Yeeess! Wow this is just beautiful. Is it often consistantly good and fun like this?
Good ol trusty "black anchor".
At least the 30 got you home.
Sick spot , id love to surf/prone that wave , no crowd insight😊
That wave is an anomaly. Such explosive wave action would normally wear away anything in its path. Maybe it’s the result of recent earthquake or volcanic activity? Weird but awesome!! Not quite a slab, but the fab tour continues!!
The best days are spent grovelling for waves...this reminds me of body whomping in the Summer.
The session of dreams! How good was that setup!
Wholly shit Nathan Florence just drove passed my house?! Hope you are having/had a rad time
Yeah that was cheeky now can we get back to the slab tour
The Wild West 👌🏻
That late drop to laid back tube stall, god damn it Nathan
Great place, wonderfull folks.
Sketch outboards and tenders... not so much.
Nice production on the vid too.
Dude you gotta do Nevis bungee jump! Highest one in New Zealand. Also a magical beautiful experience is kayaking the Fiords. Unreal...
Cool video . I’m from the north island of nz and I haven’t surfed the South Island.
Ben Gravy would approve 🤙🏼
Nau mai, haere mai ki Aotearoa! Bro that's so epically kiwi!! I hope you head North as in the FFN and do some filming. ✊
Should’ve put your guitar music as backing behind the outboard scene 🎬….. great vid 👍
sick to see you come to New Zealand, are up north or south?
