2:39 that was me

Im glad you promote harmony between spongers and stand up riders there's plenty for all considering the best waves for surfers are different to the best waves for bodyboarders, your down to earth bro not elitist like many of the other Hawaiian Surf Bloggers welcome to my Country enjoy the slabs

Did those lockdowns make you feel sovereign kek

This clip of you surfing out front of my home has put such a smile on my face. So good to see great quality video of our slab via your GoPro. Thanks heaps, great work Zoard. 🔥

Plus your respect for all other water users means that whenever you surf a new wave, people are always super stoked to share their wave with you. You're such a statesman for Hawaii, a legend in the water, and such a funny puppy on land. This bodyboarder has been hooked on your vids for some time now. Enjoy the rest of your slab tour, I cannot wait to see what else you will share. Blessings to Mahina, your Mum and brothers ✨️🤙🙌

Nathan was great to see you surfing our Local , Surfed it like local ..! - Come again 🌊👊

Best surfing content channel on KZread! Better then JOB, Gravy, Zeke, This is Living 🤣all of them. Keep the vids coming! Love watching you charge slabs at new and/or empty places!

So surreal seeing your cruising around Cronulla Nate, then slabbing at Shark Island, lots of voodoo out there mate...🤙🤙🤙

I bet the locals were happy to share a session with you.

The bird talk at the end...too funny!

Locals well represented, good on you!

4:50 This POV shot with the sun light piercing the wave is an incredible shot!! Amazing!!

So pleased you talk about how friendly the crowd is in Sydney. Maybe it’s because you can always get a wave to yourself or choose to surf a crowded spot.

It was a buzz surfing it regularly in the 1970's. No bodyboards back then, but blokes surfed it on surf mats, especially Steve Downey and Dave Shaw. It's a shame you didn't catch it bigger. It would sting the back of your ears and neck when it spat. Brought back memories.

Educate the sponges, they think they 'pioneered' every slab in the area, fuuuuck no such thing as a bogey board back in the day. Interesting never seen vision of Windy on the toob, next they will be claiming that.

Dude that wave at 5:45 has to be one of the best rides and vision of a ride I’ve seen there and I was born down the road. Great show man, including all the footage of the locals. 👍🏻. Can’t wait to see the rest of the slab tour.

The home break 💙🙏🏽 good to have ya around,, are you gonna be around for long ??

Hectic seeing an elite rider on one of Sydney’s heaviest slabs making it look easy !!! Been following your vids for a while now and it’s inspirational seeing you shred a spot I’ve tested myself on a number of times, thanks mate

Some amazing clips from this sesh! Glad your feeling better and even looking better than ever!

Nice to see the OG slab again.

It's one of the most famous waves in Australia but he doesn't mention it by name out of respect to the locals. Nathan is a class act. That's probably the best I've ever seen it surfed as well.

Would have been sick if he got it huge like the past world tour contest days.. CARNAGE. I hope he gets to ride El Fronton! I love when surfers ride the big slabs on the boog world tour. It's a lot different type of surfing and is really enjoyable to watch any craft on.

Like the last clip in the car driving out to Cape Solander at Kurnell, guess Cape Fear as it's called by most these days wasn't breaking good. Awesome to see you charging my local break, respect. Have fun in Ozzie 💪

Totally agree. Nice one including the boogs! They pioneered that spot. That last wave was incredible. 💪

@@pearl-pf6xz Just did some research, you’re right I found some old photos from surfers at the Island , 70’s / 80’s. Had no idea. Although I found speculation that it was first ridden by a surf mat rider named Steve Downer. Interesting stuff.

Stellar in the tube video! Thanks for all this effort to show places I won't ever go anymore.... I'm 58 lol. I now ride foamies lol

Thank you Nathan for including shots of the Bodyboarders......

awesome video nathan. shark island firing...! i love watching your slab series..... its great entertainment. next time you head to sydney id love to see you do some more sydney slabs..... cape fear, the bower, little av and id especially love to see you at FIRST ROCK-dw point and DEADMANS...!

From the UK, so stoked to see this legendary Oz wave! Thanks Nate! Such a savage puppy! Jealous of the people that could park up and watch you 😂 This vid makes me feel I was there though so again, thank you! 🎉 Yewwwww 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Awesome to hear you had an awesome experience on the east coast NSW Australia 🇦🇺 it’s an amazing break with amazing locals, just give respect to those that live there if you visit 💯🇦🇺🤙🍻🙏✌️😎❤️

SLAB TOUR!!!!! NO SLEEP TILL SLAB TOUR!!!!!! Im stoked you can drive on the left side of the road, right side of the car and most of all you know how to use round a bouts. You're a local in my view. CHUR from the Naki NZ

You earnt your stripes on that double lip chandelier standup stall barrel! Good on ya for showing the commitment from all ocean users out that day. It's all about thrills and spills. GC

That was great to see. Surprised this place isnt shown more in photos. Sometimes when big it looks awesome the way it barrels

Recovered from injury and back to slaying it. Well done

Hell yeah bro, I’ve been wonder when a video was gonna get done here. Wish I could have come watched that session from the hill that would of been crazy to watch you and Kip there.

Great for you Nathan, looking forward to the barrel videos.

So happy to see you are in Sydney made my day watching this

Yeah the nulla good to see you down under your going to get soo many slabs!!!!

Ha. Nice. Grew up in Sth Sydney. I know this break well. Everyone in Sydney knows this break. It just gets better the more south you go. RedSands in Shellharbour is worth a look if the swell is on. And Cowries is a fun little shelf break.

My mans hitting up Cronulla and Kurnell!!! So glad you had such a banging time going down at the local area!!!! Banger after banger after banger

Sick to see you at the local slab Nathan! YEW

Have a great slab tour! We will be eagerly awaiting the next session!

So cool. To have you in Sydney.

Love your clips man always have ive watched you go from strength to strength mate you rock buddy brass nuts for sure

nathan surfs it like a local haha he even got that cronulla steeze goin

WELCOME BACK SLAB TOUR. POV barrel footage some of your best!!!!!

@2:25 great shot with vision, duck divers looking, very cinematic!

Nice one bro, like that you give the bodyboarders respect. We all ride waves for enjoyment, doesn’t matter what we ride. Can’t wait to see your next spot. Hew keep ripping! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

That wave and shot at 5:45 was super hearty!!!!

Epic session plus gd vibes, love the reefs down there

heck yeah Nate at the island! so sick

Holy smokes!!!! That last wave was freeeeeeegun awesome even by your standards Nate. Wow....standing tall in a heaving cube on the foamball. Sheesh. Welcome to Oz mate. Leave a couple of pies for the rest of us.

Best wave in the world in my eyes! I am biased because I grew up bodyboarding it!

Bru!… that barrel at 6min mark!😵😵🙌🔥🔥 Respect!🙏

They're some heavy waves and you make it look easy. Absolute beast!

The last barrel oh my lightning ⚡️ ❤🎉

Shark island has been a boogie spot for decades, going back to the early no friends days.Stoked to see it get some recognition!

Uhhh 3:01 was that a glitch in the matrix?!! 😂😂😂 Well done Zoard and Nate, always love to see where you guys are at - great vid

It's not really mini but yeah it kind of ledges like it! Check out the world tour videos from the past there when it's big... Shark Island Challenge I think the 2001 one was insane..... it was almost too crazy to hold a contest on. There is a documentary on the spot Called The Shark Island Challange (2011) It shows all the gnarliest goods.

Best surf channel on the Tube! Stoked to see the content from this trip 🤙🏼

Rockin the impressive whiskers!

You are a sick man Nathan Florence🌊🏄‍♂️and we love it 🤙Yeouw 🇦🇺🦘

Full credit to you mate, only guy I've watched give more exposure to others than yourself.

Wow Nate I guess when you grow up surfing Back Door every thing else comes Natural Great session

farout, live in sydney and saw this slab working locals would have been stocked seeing you send!!

Mad respect. I could never grow the balls to take off on a wave that breaks onto dry rock in low tide. To think that I only ever surfed the point which never even made a lip.

The water in Oz is turquoise, almost purple in the barrel. Epic rides young man

Great to see you back on the global road again … where there are always plenty for one & all … YES! … Some great Corvid wisdom lost tho 😂

Damn! Good on ya, mate!

Epic surf here!!! Congrats!! BTW, who is the guy recording from water? He must have got incredible footage!

Each day is a beautiful surprise to learn more

Welcome to Down under. We have some great slabs here. Look and ye shall find.😊

😯 YOU'RE HEREEEE!! 😍 Come surf the Bondi slabs! 👌🏼 heheh

the slab meister strikes again! nice session

yeahhh Nathan at the island

Slab tour champion!! 🤙🤙🤙

Bird at the end is absolutely hilarious .

I agree with the crow. Faaaark!

that was brilliant

So cool to see u surf that break pretty special hey

This is out the front of the house my wife grew up in. Love the Laycock ave mention.

It's mad how psyched all the locals are to see pro chargers at their break. Hawaiians must be so jaded of it.

That’s so sweet🎉❤

Epic slab session 😊

That wave was so sick. You know the one

so good to see you in OZ.

Dam! Barrel riding clinic!

What a cool looking wave.

That First Slab in Sydney was Mental!! So Sick!

god damn that ride at 5:46

Good to see you down under! If you want meaty slabs you need to visit South Australia's west coast. plenty down there.

such a sick bodyboarding wave

Hope you get a giant swell for The Neck and Indicator’s c/coast. Also a freaky right at Cathoes. If ya like a hike Buggeries just past Mack’s,and Fronts at Toowoon Bay these joints need a big swell.
