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
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.
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.
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)
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 :-)
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!!
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 ❤
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 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽

"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!!!
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!)
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.
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
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!
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…

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.
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.
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!
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 🤙🏼
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).
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!
