These guys who surf Puerto are warriors and gladiators and every time you paddle out is a battle for life. That paddle out was one of those that paddle, paddle, paddle and you turn around and the beach is twenty feet away! Then if you make a wave, but don’t get to kick out or get axed, end up in the wash bowl. Seems like a shallow sandbar that dumps into a big depression and you are stuck in the rinse cycle. Nice to see waves like Puerto that are shown with the regular guys out there and not only the pros. Thanks for showing the regulars too. Not every wave is perfectly made and it all looks so real and raw.

This video was 15 minutes of Hell, with sprinkles of extreme fun. Anybody that paddled out this day took on that challenge. It's amazing what people will go through for those few seconds of pleasure! Thanks for the show!

I’ve surfed Esco this big back in the 80’s & it scared the shit out of me. There is so much water moving everywhere. I caught 3 waves, came in and said never again. Also back then, there was only 4 of us out, no rescue crews or lifeguards all of which made it even spookier 😮 I think I have PTSD watching this vid 😂

Ugh, I feel your pain. Big beach break paddle outs can be brutal. I've been surfing beach breaks for 50 years and still haven't figured it out. My friends wait on the beach until the inevitable 20 wave set beats me to a pulp, and then they paddle out.

@liuyloui

My philosophy to this is a bit different. Waiting seems counterintuitive because you will still be ahead of whoever is waiting on the beach if you just send it. Sure you might get pushed back a bit, but in the end you're still making forward progress and will make it out faster than people who are waiting

I reckon every video would be best like this... no music, just raw sound. awesome.

The whitewater filled my whole screen.

Shoutout to the lifeguards Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

These were the fastest 15 min of a surf video I have ever enjoyed watching! Incredible Nathan! And this raw clips literally amplify the intensity of the waves and the power of the ocean. Also noone in the background is really talking, shoked and speechless by this massive beauty.

I like it that you include paddling out in your vids.

As a kid from the 80s and 90s you never see the reality of this spot like this. You just see the clips of people making perfect huge beach break barrels. I gave a board to a guy in Mexico and he said he took it there and it got broke. I can see why now. Good lawd what a heavy spot.

6 ft waves are good enough for me.... I find myself having to take a deep breath watching these videos

My shoulders are burning just from watching this and I'm sitting on the couch watching. That's a heavy session to paddle in.

Totally love the lightning bolt surfboard, takes me back. I have never surfed there but I remember it being my best friend's favorite spot before he died.

I really appreciate you leaving the natural sounds because it brought back great memories from 35 years ago. I felt like I was there I would recognize that wave of anywhere. The power is unmistakable and unforgivable. I had a click in my back every time I paddled for the next 9 months from a tough fall there until I went to a chiropractor and got adjusted. Even though I got hepatitis from surfing down at the point because I had an open wound I still have great memories of that place. Thanks again for such a great video = very realistic.

Did the people on the beach even know the level of pro excellence that was out there in the lineup that day! Insane and incredibly epic

I spent the winter of 1990 in the campground facing this break. Absolute newb. Got the shit kicked out of me. Came as close to drowning there as a man can and still be walking around on dry ground. What a beach. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@1:48 that’s gotta be about the hardest slam over the falls I’ve ever seen. Tough to try and exhale like a boxer would before a body shot to not get the air knocked out of you. Got the air knocked out of me on barely overhead and it was terrible. This situation would surely be terrifying. Thanks for sharing with us it’s greatly appreciated! 🤙🤙🤙

Bloody hell, the GoPro footage from the other day didn't do this justice at all. THis is gnarly as hell.

That wave @11:47 was a beautiful piece of artwork.

REAL. Jaw dropping ferocity. Beach Break paddle hell! Wow Nate, as I delve further back into your archives I'm constantly astonished and grateful that you're still alive after all the beatings you have taken and shared so generously with us. In a world that needs positive role models more than ever, I'm so grateful to you, your family and this channel. Thank you 😊 🙏🤙✨️

Wow, those were massive waves. Thanks for the RAW video without music etc. Makes a huge difference.

Are you kidding me!!! I’d like to see The CrossFit world champions paddle out with you to test their fitness level against our sport. Pure legends you all are! I wish your whole crew is there

Incredible! Amazing! I love to watch this full raw footage of that 30 ft waves of Puerto Escondido!!!! Cool video man!!! The lifeguards are incredible with all the rescues they did.

I could smell the ocean, taste the salt and feel the exhaustion just watching this… phew!

comforting to see Nate get caught inside and worked like my ass does every single day there's a big swell on the east coast

That constant set breaking on Nates head! Insane!

These raw clips are epic!! You guys are made of steel

Girl at the end gave you the look 😂😂😂

Nice work Nathan. Saw you out there, didn’t know it was you;) @2:23 looked like Roger Ramírez, legend. All legends. #StrongWorkYo

The pounding these guys take just to paddle back out is more than impressive, along w. taking a few on the head for good measure on their way out. Great video Nate.

I surfed Puerto in the mid 90's and got some epic waves! I caught one and the looked back out from the shore break and saw a lull, so I paddled straight back out instead of swimming out through the channel. I was halfway to the lineup when a wave came, and I paddled as fast as I could, the thing landed square on my back with a 3foot lip as I was duck diving. It pulled my rash guard up over my head and pulled my shorts to my ankles! I'm surprised that my board did not break. Caught a few more waves that day and checked out the point the next day! The point was firing!!!! Great adventure!

Wow HEAVY session! Thanks for posting raw! 🤙

Sick footage Nate! Listening to roaring closeouts was great to get a feel of the conditions and mother nature! Yew!!!

it's wild that this is a beachbreak, the sand must be like concrete

Those POV clips got to be interesting.

Waves dropped and Nate comes in. Epic session!

That was a heavy session!!! Way to charge Nat & Ivan!! Great footage!! Keep charging boys!!!!

the opening wave caught was WoW he got spit out !! He made it, n i c e.............. 2:49 wOw that first step was deep NICE recovery Nathan Florence

Ivan get smashed in that first wave 😬😬🤣🤣🤣… Radical video Nate love it

All balls to paddle out in to that nightmare…let alone do it repeatedly after taking a beating. Good stuff, Nate…your cardio is next level dude.

That is some super heavy beach break, good surfing Nathan.

DUDE! Super sketch and massive props to all those charging

Like really out of nowhere, there is a guy that actually comes out of the 10:27 wave, you can see him for just a fraction of a second to the left of the jet ski.

Insane Nate you and Ivan what a team oh then there is Jon Jon what a family to think they all used to be groms.

Brutal.. Great video it was a wild ride those guys are brave..

Loved the background banter ,

So Heavy! Savage beatdowns and heroic waves! Aloha

That guy on the red board @ 8.30 is a legend! Didn't give up despite an absolute flogging!

Call that a man with huge balls ahah Congrats Nathan, i saw you from a boat at teahupoo, always impressed to see your sens of timing and placement on the various swells

I don’t think I’ve seen a session quite like this.

I dig the way the trail comes off the tail of the board making it look like a jet propulsion engine on board and a mini for the hand trails. The future of surfing like electric motor skate boards. Dial it up paddle out no sweat make any tube anytime anywhere. Wipe out at Maverick,reign in your board and you are out of there.

the sterling spencer pro sticky bumps wax working wonders here! sick footy nate-nate

Not much control in those conditions. Just have to play with luck and try to position yourself so that luck will work in your favor. Great video! Thanks for sharing the real deal!

for the glory!!! 🔥🌊

Very impressive 👏

Puerto Escondido can be a very scary place it has changed it used to me much worse with the lavadora

🦍🌊🇲🇽 eres una leyenda Nate 🔥🔥🔥

Pure punishment. I'm amazed that anyone made it out alive.

Just one advice you’re your own doctor at Puerto escondido,also you are your own rescue never wait for anyone. Always have a self stitching kit with you and medicaments. And be in great physical condition to absorb the abuse from Mother Nature when the time to pay the price comes. Great surf

Nathan Ivan zoard thank you 😃🤙 looks insane

Amazing. Greetings from México 🇲🇽

Scary as hell. Nice job all. Damn.

Puerto Padi looking 🔥

My brothers used to jump in along the jetty and have the rip suck them out .. Enjoying seeing some folks get some nice rides here 👍 and the chorus of young ladies not bad accompaniment either . Question : do they pay the lifeguards at these breaks extra ? I mean , it seems like , a bit risky to be a guard on THIS BEACH . You know ?

I was just in Puerto Escondido last month surfing. I have some close friends who are locals. They showed me a spot we mostly surfed at about 30 min from there called Tierra Blanca. Great spot with just us surfing most of time. The white water could be relentless but once you broke through good times. I am getting lazy with age lol. White water makes me lazy lol
