    Surfed most of my life...now closer to 60 and bummed not being in the water due to some injuries from a fall during a gardening accident of all things. Doing the physio, but have to be patient...plan to get back out there in due time! Live vicariously through your videos...thanks for showing the work/fitness/stamina it takes to get out there and get proper positioning for those sweet long barrels while enjoying your youth!

    Finally, a surfing video gives us the paddle out. And most definitely, a skill set in itself for sure.
    All around a very good perspective of what surfing Skeletons is like.
    You don't realize how much of a long current there is. 5 or 6 loops equaling a marathon. Not for the faint hearted.

    Thanks for taking us out with you. I enjoyed it. Been having some stressful days, and even though it's only a video and I am hundreds of miles from an ocean...this was so fine for me. I love watching the waves build out in the distance as you paddle toward them. Then as one let's you ride, it's as if it cradles you in it's hand letting you feel and see the beauty and magnificence of something way more powerful and intense than we even know. Love this! You have a great gift out there and it's amazing that you share it!

    I’m sure I’m not the only one that has watched all the surfers from Hawaii’s vlogs for years now. To go on about your lives without a word about the tragedy in Maui says a lot about all your characters..
    I believe there’s a big media blackout about it, if so, stay real at let the people know. It means more than whatever waves your catchin. Don’t forget you guys are standing on the shoulders of the locals that are now suffering.
    Amazing video as always but it hits different knowing that every video that goes up you’re ignoring the ones that need you most.
    Stand up if there’s corruption. You have the platform.
    I say this all with love.

      @@siIIysnake that’s true I don’t want to say they aren’t helping in any way. I know they’ve been doing a lot behind the scenes and helping raise a lot of money for the survivors.
      I just think these pro surfers from Hawaii are the ones that have the biggest platform to share the reality of how the locals have been treated.
      Things don’t add up.
      Police closing down donation hubs.
      Police blocking roads while the fires were going. If I can find this information from Australia there’s no doubt with the connections these guys have from Hawaii they haven’t heard about what’s really happening.
      I understand the risk involved when going against mainstream media and it could hurt their channel but I think you’ll get a hell of a lot more respect for it.

    I sure thought after that hard paddle out past the breakers, he would have rested a bit, maybe shouted out to someone... Nope. He turned his board around and jumped in, on the next wave...killer view from inside the tunnel... swallowed up whole . Then he comes up, turns around, and paddle back out...Great spirit for the sport!

  • @VonDoggo
    @VonDoggo Před 10 měsíci +5

    Nate, you should consider putting a timer and duck dive counter on the screen for the paddle outs. I.e., your first paddle out took exactly 3 minutes (1:00 - 4:00) and 7 duck dives. That way we could keep up with all your spots and have a better idea as to degree of difficulty for each.
    You could even include a “current” meter/rating based on your interpretation of how much water is moving around too. Nothing like duck diving and then getting sucked back or put off balance slightly and then having to gain forward momentum again.

I have many friends who, while kayaking, in the middle of gnarly rapids have to put their contacts back in their eyes after taking a big hit! So gnarly and much respect! Do you get the same barrel vision without your contacts? How does it affect your surfing? I'm happy for you on slab tour, it's the best and I hope your elbow heals right ❤
