Just wanted to say that Nate’s TH-cam channel doesn’t stop bringing the Gnar! This dude has been charging for like 2 years straight. Seems like every week he is half way around the world from the prior week surfing another monster wave in an isolated locale. No other surf channel is coming close to delivering as much hardcore diehard big wave content as Nate. Nate winning surfer of the year was so deserved and honestly I think he deserves it again. Thanks for bring us along for the ride Nate and getting so much great footage 🙌🏼🤙🏼
Totally agree. This version is not what I consider the best, but it is such an elegant piece and doesn’t detract from what we’re watching, yet provides an accompaniment to the gnar! Well done.
Was in Newport with my bro and saw a big “Florence” painted next to the house we were staying at, the headquarters I guess. CONGRATS MUST BE A GOOD SIGN OF THINGS TO COME
Love those pre glow sunrises. Those were probably altocumulus clouds lighting up before the sun rises. It's just pure magic!! I've been a professional photographer and cinematographer and I love to photograph magic hour sunrises and sunsets. Greatest way to start your day!!!
I was there a couple weeks ago, during the first swell. The wave is so difficult to even read. I sat there watching for a couple hours and still couldn't figure it out. There was massive looking waves that ended up being junky inside ones. There were perfect looking bowl ones that ended up clamping. And there were ones I thought weren't doable that ended up being the waves of the day. This has got to be one of the most technically difficult big waves in the world, and it's pretty insane to get even one good one. Incidentally I'm in Margaret River right now, I saw John surf his first heat. It sucks that it's so small right now, but still cool to see him surf.
I was taken out there for a look on a small day, before it became known in the 90s, I saw how close it was breaking to the rocks and decided I probably wouldn’t be surfing it!
Best video from Shippies in a while. Gets me fired up to be as radical with what I do! (and Shippies is as radical as it gets, I question whether there's any point for mere mortals to surf that place)
Traveling the globe to take savage beat downs until iit clicks. Amazing footage. It must be inspiring to look down and see the family name as a sponsor
I freakin love your channel man. It’s one of the few that makes me feel like I’m actually along for the ride. The session was nowhere near the biggest or gnarliest Shippies, but there is NEVER an easy Shippies. My jaw literally dropped on multiple occasions when you popped out the end of the wave.
Amazing footage Zoard!!! - some of those wave formation shots were absolutely stunning. The surfing wasnt bad either Nate :) By the way, who was the lunitic that first decided this spot was surfable???
Nate, firstly you are the man for putting up this video of getting belted. Not too many pros out there that would have the humility to do that. Love your work. Secondly, next big filthy east or south swell come to Manly, Australia and surf Deadmans. Would love to see that on the slab tour. Keep it up you legend
Friggen holy guacamole, just the transition from beat-downs to triumph was absolutely spectacular. I’m pretty sure I would eat 50g of creatine in 30mins if I had those gummies.
Dam Nate. Giving us the content we need. No guts no glory, better than the WSL tbh 100%. Hope you never get injured and are able to keep charging. Not much people with content like yours. Absolute legend 🔥
Haven’t even seen the video yet, waiting to get home on big screen, but, kudos to you for doing a paddle session at Ship’s stern. Appreciate the hell outta you. Blessings.🌊🌲🇺🇸☝️
Just watched 2 hours live of WSL west oz…..then slater retired. Changed channel… Then watched Nathan for 2 minutes charging real surf and getting pinned to bottom 2x……then I rewound slowed paused and admired. WSL to my soul value = zero Nathan to cello at shipsterns value = priceless
Great ATTITUDE! Taking such beatings and going back for more.. never taking defeats as a conclusion. Face your fears; keep pushing and hopefully make it to live another day 😅
My eyeballs were popping out of my head watching that. You should come surf the heads in Vicco if you get a chance its been firing! and heaps of swell in the southern ocean. Also a miniature version of shipsterns not to far from this spot.
That is one frightening wave. Takes some large ones to surf that. New waterproof jacket is tight. Need one of those for sure. Great footage and believe that was the omen(movie) soundtrack.

Thanks man appreciate you seeing the work put in! It really has been a crazy couple years love bringing you guys along!
@@NathanFlorence My favorite surfing channel by far! I see you have a new vid, I get a bag of popcorn ready and watch.
Too dangerous 🎉😮
Usually hate product placement in vids but im all about these, the Florence gear the Zoard gummies. Hope you guys kill it.
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for using Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007. It makes it so much more amazing. Pairs well!
Yes, I concur....but was it Yo Yo Ma?
@@nednakatsuka4965 I prefer Anner bylsma. Yo yo ma rushes too much.
Totally agree. This version is not what I consider the best, but it is such an elegant piece and doesn’t detract from what we’re watching, yet provides an accompaniment to the gnar! Well done.
13:15 there's no way he makes thaaaaaWWWWWHAAAATTTTT?!?!?! What a beast!!
Yep, that was bona -fide sick. Gotta convince John to quit WSL and join the slab tour I reckon.
What an animal
Haha thanks i was worried too!
Serious
call it a day after that one...................
Tunes are great. ZORD deserves a raise!
Tunes were fresh, always good to see surf to different/unique tracks
Was in Newport with my bro and saw a big “Florence” painted next to the house we were staying at, the headquarters I guess. CONGRATS MUST BE A GOOD SIGN OF THINGS TO COME
Hell yeah!
Amazing waves, and very nice Bach Cello Suite n.1 soundtrack
Perfect

15:14 😮. Thanks for sharing your adventures and inspiring us civilians 🤙🏽
or 15:10

basically explained surfing florida in a nut shell but the waves are only knee high 😂
SLAB TOUR...TELL EVERYONE!!!
WE HAVE RETURNED!
Take John
@@trotts1885 pretty sure Slater has signed up for the stay at home dad tour.
@@trotts1885WST
I wonder who the first person was who thought yeah we can surf that crazy fucking mutant wave. Victory at sea day
I was taken out there for a look on a small day, before it became known in the 90s, I saw how close it was breaking to the rocks and decided I probably wouldn’t be surfing it!
@@Jurassic3l1te It really is the definition of 'wave of consequence' Chopes' is *t h i c c* and perfection but Shipsterns is a freaking werewolf.
probably was a hungover bodyboarder just like every other insane slabs out there
It used to be a bodysurfing spot.
Best video from Shippies in a while. Gets me fired up to be as radical with what I do! (and Shippies is as radical as it gets, I question whether there's any point for mere mortals to surf that place)
That Bach piece is one of my favorites!
A truly excellent choice.
Thank you.

Zoard is an unsung hero! Props nathan and crew another core video! Shippies land angle is beautiful!
Aussie sunrises are something else. Walking the baby and dog at 5:30 in the morning in Bris and Melbourne brings back good memories.
Winters on the Gold Coast, the sun takes longer to rise and makes for magical sunrises over the ocean
I freakin love your channel man. It’s one of the few that makes me feel like I’m actually along for the ride.

I appreciate that!
Redemption after four heavy beat downs takes a great athlete. Awesome POVs. Beautiful perspective from land. 👌
Thank you 🙌
That wave was unbelievable. The Florence gear looked sick and congrats zoard on the gummies! Excellent packaging.
Thanks!
Great work from Nathan, Zorb & Co...more, more, more
Very kool you were getting worked until your timing nice taking that bottom turn to avoid the speed bump. Thanks for bringing it as usual.
holy demon those were some diabolical slabs - nice work nate n crew 🙂
F yes Nathan give Kip a Florence marine jacket . great rides dude. Some heavy water right there
Amazing footage Zoard!!! - some of those wave formation shots were absolutely stunning.
The surfing wasnt bad either Nate :)
By the way, who was the lunitic that first decided this spot was surfable???
Glad you enjoyed it! Haha it was bodyboarders of course!
Perhaps my favorite edit so far man with the Perfect choice of music. Stay unplugged brother x
Absolutely world class... that barrel is as knarley as it gets,,,nothing smooth about except the dudes cutting through it. Well played gents!
Nate, firstly you are the man for putting up this video of getting belted. Not too many pros out there that would have the humility to do that. Love your work. Secondly, next big filthy east or south swell come to Manly, Australia and surf Deadmans. Would love to see that on the slab tour. Keep it up you legend
Your soundtracks are dope! Legend!!!
Friggen holy guacamole, just the transition from beat-downs to triumph was absolutely spectacular. I’m pretty sure I would eat 50g of creatine in 30mins if I had those gummies.
My mind was slowly loosing will power haha session turned at the right time!
Another killa video! Tasmania is a gem on this planet!!!
Some of those shots from up on the cliff are as impressive as any videos of waves I've ever seen. Well worth the hike.
Crazy wave
Dam Nate. Giving us the content we need. No guts no glory, better than the WSL tbh 100%. Hope you never get injured and are able to keep charging. Not much people with content like yours. Absolute legend 🔥
I'm Brazilian, I've been following you for a while and I'm amazed by your ability to master these waves! Congratulations brother
I appreciate that!
With Bach no less! Refreshingly unusual, and I thought it worked well. 👍
Slab tour… brought to you by Super Gummies. Super gummies, “Don’t get barreled… get super barreled”
Suuuper Barreled
That wave is insane!!! Great choice of music too! Well played guys
You guys are very hardcore. But so talented. That's easily some of the best Shipsterns paddle in I've seen.
Lovin' the slo-mo tube shots are awesome.
I look forward to you videos every week!! Love the music, gnarly slabs and funny jokes. Keep up the great work
Love as usual that you're paddling in
That Gear is sick Florence made by surfers for Surfers and zords gummies super gummies Thank you Guys
🙌🏽🙌🏽
This channel nate is much better that wsl heat , Congratulations on the gummys
Thanks!
Florence Marine Cap Nathan Florence shredding some gnarl ⚡🦅
The world wants to see you win Nathan! Mind blowing charging. So sick with the family brand with your bro. Keep it up we support you guys always!
Appreciate it!!
13:04 one of the sickest exits i;ve ever seen, esp with the music editing. holy barrel, my guy
Haven’t even seen the video yet, waiting to get home on big screen, but, kudos to you for doing a paddle session at Ship’s stern. Appreciate the hell outta you. Blessings.🌊🌲🇺🇸☝️
Faaaantastic music choices, ecspeacially the 1st one 😍
E.p.i.c. man! That music and that wave around 13 mins in 🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙
Slab tour is next level. Classical music is fire.
15:15 what an absolute beauty. a terrifying wave but so beautiful
13:16 that was so gnarly. Best make ever. It looked like it had already swallowed Nate.
This wave is something unique mutant
The classical music adds a whole other level of seriousness to the waves. 👌
Always an adventure.
I’m addicted to your channel, amazing talent Nate.
Cheers 🍻
I appreciate that!
Thank you for the amazing sky shots starting at 1:25!
The classical music to the brutal beatdowns at the beginning is killing me 😂😂😂
That big step on Kipp’s wave looked insane from the mouth cam. 🔥
Nice music....my dogs loved it!
that is some top tier gopro footage 👌
🤙
bach fits so good to heavy surf videos. does someone know which peace it is?
Good video always mixing it up, cool music 🤙
Glad you like it
Maybe your most insane video. Holy . Insane. Navigating the step in the wave looks so crazy
Dude the camera was insane wow so good 🤙
Double lips, steps and so much water...what a wave...respect man.😂👍
I'd love this place back in the day but also one of the more harrowing waves on the planet. Amazing not more people get hurt here and end of the road.
The Tasmanian blue devil. Good god!👏👏 That jacket looks solid.
Sometimes i am super jealous of the life these guys have. On days like this i am super happy that i have a normal job.
Just watched 2 hours live of WSL west oz…..then slater retired.
Changed channel…
Then watched Nathan for 2 minutes charging real surf and getting pinned to bottom 2x……then I rewound slowed paused and admired.
WSL to my soul value = zero
Nathan to cello at shipsterns value = priceless
Great ATTITUDE!
Taking such beatings and going back for more.. never taking defeats as a conclusion.
Face your fears; keep pushing and hopefully make it to live another day 😅
Awesome seeing you adjust your angle to that crease at the bottom of the wave! That's a detail you don't see, until you ride one unfortunately!
fantastic move on the bottom turn at 13:50 to avoid the "step"! such a crazy mutant wave
The music combined with those powerful waves some bad ass dudes made me weep
That wave at 15:10 was a thing of beauty 🔥
Nathan Florence my only hero.
Wave of the year champ again.
Yesss Nate.... Hitting us with bombs and Vivaldi!
I'm a big fan of the music choices on this channel.
With your excellent pro crew and your family brand, I believe the sky is the limit!
Hope so!
you guy ALL DAY LONG..super gummies yeewww, get it guys no corp. allowed
🎉🎉
Heavy ones 🚩
Ok surf gods show me the best tube ride ever.
Your amazing!
that wave you caught at 13min was next level bro!
That’s a sweet lil toyoter truck! Wish we could have those lil diesels in the US! Epic off-road machines
Incredible footage, can only be done when you are that good a surfer🤞🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏿🙏🏾🏄🏼♂️💎🏆🌞
So gnarly,all that turbulent water at the end crazy
Never surfed anything beyond double overhead, but I’ve always thought Shipstern’s Bluff looks the gnarliest. Crazy wave!
Holy cow what a difference a board change makes. You called that.
My eyeballs were popping out of my head watching that. You should come surf the heads in Vicco if you get a chance its been firing! and heaps of swell in the southern ocean. Also a miniature version of shipsterns not to far from this spot.
yep!
Nate you are an absolute beast most people would have called it a session after those first two insane beatings 💯🔥🤯🤯
Spooky music (but great) for spoooky wave... unreal Nate! Where mortals fear to tred.
It´s insane to surf there man. RESPECT.
Was that a yo-yo ma song for the first surf scenes, super cool!
That is one frightening wave. Takes some large ones to surf that. New waterproof jacket is tight. Need one of those for sure. Great footage and believe that was the omen(movie) soundtrack.
They need to dump Jason Mamoa and make you Aquaman for Aquaman three. Hahaha!
Bottom turning around the second ledge...new technique unlocked. That was a sick comeback after getting flogged so many times.
never get tired of watching that wave...
