PADDLE OUT GONE WRONG AT GIANT ULUWATU! 

Already crapping myself for when I head there next week. Did not need this 😂

Your a beast 🤙🏻😎

big ulus is no joke!

I envy your fortitude, you're a beast.

You're an animal !!!!

absolutely. dude is a machine. he easily navigates and paddles through this potential near death situation with stunning levels of fitness and calmness. really impressive. he is indeed a world class athlete.

@@handkantenronny1716 You are absolutely right. He is cool under pressure I would've crapped myself and paddled in. Funny thing is I think he was carrying a " Go Pro " in his mouth aswel, aha

@@andrewcrabtree8668 it is, as usual. I don't know how he can breathe properly in this situation. It's like to paddle out with mouthguard.

Glad it’s just not me 😂. At ulus I found it’s just easier to just paddle straight and let it drag me to the right (almost get trashed half way into thomas beach ). Then on the outside it drags you back to ulus .

right, I have a whole new level of RESPECT for Nathan going back out 2x & doing that until session success !! I was out of energy near half way just from watching. MAde me feel all of my age. But I stayed till the end.....had to right ??

I absolutely agree!!!

Most people posting videos on RU-vid think that using a Video Editor makes them movie directors. They make the big mistake of adding their favorite music to dozens of perfect surf rides. In the end, these videos become more like cheap surf commercials.

Totally agree. If you surf you know that it's these times, when your having to paddle through wave after wave, that you, your fitness and your water knowledge are tested.

Yeah it captures a more thorough feeling of being in the water on a powerful day

I agree, but IMO the worst videos feature no take offs, no wipe outs but endless few second clips of perfect tubes - devoid of any excitement.

It's really tough!

Also props to Uluwatu for holding down its rep as being a bitch to paddle in and out of! 😬

Right!, just hire a ski, dont kill u

So true. It's a brutal ride home too when you couldn't make it out and even get one wave lol

amen brother

My whole life changed when I realized it was OK to just turn around and go back in if you had to. That happens north of age 65.

Yeaaaaaahhhh!!! (... and i'm not a surfer ahahahahah)

Yeah bro this guy....more than 10m nonstop paddle respect

ya.. i would have to say u r right

Verdade amigo, 20 minutos só dando braçadas.🤦🇧🇷👈

Machine mode activated, I wish I had the same endurance. That's the true life of a surfer, 20min paddle for 20s wave

In the video the people talking mention that, "he buckled his board and came back in..."

I never paddled out at Uluwatu but to me this was not a timing issue. I wrote this comment on Notepad before I knew who it was, but please tell me if I am wrong here, it's super weird to me that a famous guy can do this. 30 seconds of studying the currents show you that the water is pouring in off the cliffs on the left, sliding right, and then obviously must go out in a rip on the right (of of field of view). He paddles *against* the rightways current all the way left to the cliffs then out *against* the incoming current then back again with the rightways current and after 4 minutes he is a 1 minute paddle farther out than where he started from. After that at 4:24 you can see someone taking the easy ride in the rip I expect he would have been in if he had just paddled facing the horizon and let the current take him. A 2nd person again resting in the rip at 5:06. At 5:18 the rip is clearly demarcated. I don't know if there are rocks to avoid on the right (we never see in the shot) but even if there are I would expect the rip must pick you up before you get into them because of the huge volume of water needing to return to sea hitting those rocks and turning seaward. I'm not writing this to be clever. I'm writing because I'm sincerely confused by his comment saying he got the timing wrong. That first 4 minute paddle to nowhere and back (super impressive physically as it was) would have buggered any timing up anyway. Just super curious.

@@greatbriton8425 when you go out at ulus you enter the water through a cave and there is no beaches, only rock faces so you need to go left and out straight away, if you try to go right you just get smashed back into the rocks and cliffs

@@ewanmclachlan8873 That's interesting. At his powerful rate of paddle I would have expected him to be able to paddle straight out though, rather than all the way left then against the incoming current. Like, angle diagonal left, so his actual movement is straight out until he is far out enough to allow a drift into the rip. Fascinating place though. Thanks very much for the explain.

@@greatbriton8425 Also, if you end up going too far right and don't get pushed into rocks etc, there is no way of getting back in apart from that cave, you end up doing a couple of kilometer paddle round the coast until you can get back in. I think it's padang padang where you end up but i might be wrong

yes was thinkin same thing . he could have angled to the north and pop out with the current helping. it’s incredible to see this salmon like swimmer

Yeah he shouldn't have paddeled so hard towards the peak. I usually just let the current take me between Racetrack and Outside Corner

Once he got swept past the cave, giving up is not an option, You'd get bashed against the shoreline cliff if you came in.

yea man good workout and humbling. why he didn't paddle out to the right across racetrack and circle left but kept fighting against the current will remain a mystery 🙃

Lifting weights is way better than swimming but swimming is great too of course

@@SabrinaDacosta how is it better for surfing?

I do, on link in bio my onlyfans is a lessons channel lol

@@NathanFlorence 😂 slide in some foot pics bro

@@lesss4067 lol!

@@NathanFlorence I'm no surfer but I can appreciate the slog! Beautifully relaxing to watch, I cannot imagine the level of fitness it takes to do.

Happens to all of us who paid out dues at Ulus. Those caves are so scary especially on a rising big swell and rising tide

Tomas beach 🤣🤣🤣

Thomas Beach is the first "safe" bailout. Good news is, with that current, you get there very fast.

I bet with those hurricane swells! Low interval and a hundred waves! Imagine the paddle outs are brutal!

@@NathanFlorence The Great Lakes are short period and constant as well when it gets bigger for us 😎 Your fit Nate, that was savage!

Hurricane swells..........

Why you say that?

Exactly! Hurricane Sandy was the last one to really separate the boys from the pros! 😂

😂😂😂

and I would have been on the next flight after you

Legend had it he's still paddling out to this day

Yep. 30 minute paddle from Padang channel to Ulu but dry hair and mellow because you are outside the whole time.
