He's the best, but I don't think that was a purposeful stall, just hit the bottom of the wave and lost speed. Scary moment but I think it's the most radical make I've ever seen! I don't think he could have make it without grabbing his rail in the foam ball, He is a master - Nate the Great!

@JimSuperwhite43

@@jazziejim You may be right. I've never surfed waves that big in any kind of context much less slabbing. Looking again it appears he had to navigate a little boil ridge mid turn. That's a flow state move for sure. If you're unfamiliar, Steven Kotler, who wrote West of Jesus (a book about surfing and spirituality) writes a lot about extreme sports and flow state neuroscience. Crazy stuff. NF is definitely a flow master.

Loved, loved, loved this! Love the nature and sound of the waves, then into that heavy slab with awesome music. I actually cried when you came out of that wave of a lifetime ...was so thrilled for you. I watched the Irish laddies bend low into the wave, almost kneel on their boards, and almost grab their way through the barrel, then you did the same. The celts and Vikings are with you on this trip!!!! Equally live this and Scotland....what a warrior you are!!!!!!!!!

Wave of the Winter I'm calling it right now hands down 100%!!!! This was absolutely crazy Nate You had no business making that wave, The way you were stalling in The mouth of that crazy, icy, north Atlantic beast, If you didn't have legendary status before you absolutely punched your ticket brother!!! That wave was so scaringly thick, so incredibly gnarly and yet so majestic and beautiful, that my heart was in my throat watching it!!! I am at a loss for words now, how you ever were able to maintain getting any sense of control, completely covered by the throat of the dragon, not once but twice in the deepest, deepest part of that barrel is beyond comprehension, and find a way, feel your way, to freedom , you are truly one of the greatest surfers on our planet, thank you so much, Tim in HB 😃👍🙏

Totally awesome. It must be difficult to paddle a board with such big goolies!!

This guy is a completely different human when it comes to surfing! I am truly honored to be able to watch this clips holy sh***

I would love to see the POV shot on the last one. Incredible and so inspiring, keep sending it ! 🤟

Amazing Nat. Stoked for the young Irish kids who are going to watch this .And go I wanna do that

The wave is your best ever (filmed) no? I have been a huge fan for awhile and was kinda wondering when your next great wave (like your famous backside at Chopes) was coming. Well you did it! Goosebumps! I am sure awards are coming for this one!

You are literally elevating the level of big wave surfing Nathan. These last 2 sessions/vlogs are historical and I hope you get all the recognition you deserve.

Great to see Tom, Russell, Connor and Nate all Legends catching Monster Waves together in Ireland!

For sure! We should acknowledge all of the other world class surfers out there. Russell maybe being the youngest.

I started surfing in 1968 and have watched every surf clip worth watching and that was easily the best wave of ever seen ridden . .

I breathed a little easier when I saw all the safety folks. OMG that was such a heavy session. That wave just sucks you up. Drop was intense. Needed every inch of that rail. Can’t wait to see the POV on this.

Been there... not done that! Goosebumps!!

Great to see Russell out there with Nate and all those guys in wild unpredictable conditions. Scary as hell but so worth it. Congrats to all the the guys; The last clip = total death wish avoided in style.

Wowwwwww, im genuinely blow away with this one, great job Nathan, the last wave should definitely be nominated for wave of the winter.

Thanks for surfing in Ireland Nate. Delighted to see the North Shore hardcores go there and score. Éire Abú 🇮🇪

Thank you Nathan Florence for sharing this with us. God bless all your missions my man.

I appreciate the high quality on these videos lately. Back then it was raw GoPro footage. Now footage cut and music work so well together. It's epic!

Mate, what a wave. Rewatched that over and over still can’t believe u made it 🙌🙌

The cold makes that so much heavier, unbelievable those guys. Great job Nate.

I live near Mullaghmore and have been watching your videos for years. I have been waiting for this for so long!! Favourite surfer at an irish wave. I can't tell you how happy I am that you scored big on your first time out at mully. World class surfing on a seriously scary wave. That has to be the first time someone has stalled on a wave that size out there. Pyscho. 😂 Hope you get to surf Rileys during your stay!

That was incredible to watch, the water angle at 10:47 is insane. How good is Ireland and all the characters over there.

Not gonna lie BrahNate, this one breaks the mold - AGAIN. Unreal production with a killer buildup. That was a legacy wave!

Had to call my dad into my room for that angle of your bomb at the end of video. So stoked for you Nathan, I imagine that was quite a crazy experience and also how you made it past the foam ball. I love your videos and keep sending it.

So glad you scored one of Irelands surfing gems.... This is my first Irish winter away for 22 years and Iam super stoked all the Irish surf crew are scoring this season so far.. I want be missing an Irish winter season ever again.... Safe travels Nate

Glad youenjoyed Ireland Nathan! 🇮🇪 This wave is a cold, mean, heavy, choppy monter at times, great to see you got a small taste of it 🤙

That is incredible and any other adjective out there.. your timing to hit the swell epic. Luck of the Irish....go kiss the blarney stone...

10:16 holy ballsack - man with this wave youve outdone yourself again! I still cant wrap my head around this, youre a maniac haha

Easily best paddle wave 2022! So sick!

So stoked to see a Hawaii boy catching such heavy waves in such an obscure place. Hope to see you there when they do big tow in like Cloudbreak....awesome footage and surfing from all you guys!!🤙🤙🤙🤙

No way!!! Your Chopes barrel will definitely go down in history because that barrel was next level! But what I just witnessed there was triple NEXT LEVEL!! Dude that pit was Hectic and you rode over a foam ball that was the same size as a greyhound bus!! SHEESH!! Respect Nate ✊… you truly are the Real deal Holyfield!

Unreal. I felt it too. Can you say RIDING THE FOAMBALL. Wow!!!

Nathan is on THE game! Incredible navigation of the last waves bowl. incredible instincts. Thanks Nathan!

What an incredible series this has been. They look soooooo deep into huge barrels.

Crazy Leprechauning that wave thru the foam ... 10 10 10 all the way

Tahiti, Australia, Fiji , mentawais, Mexico , Europe . You truly had the best last 6 months of anyone on the planet! Good job!

felt like a hugging (big spoon) love letter to the old gods there during the replays, super zone -- dope!

Love your videos. You cut out all the fake glamour crap. So typical of surfing in UK/Ireland to be parked on a grass verge, being watched by dog walkers 😅. You’re one of the only ones who shows the paddles out as well.

I have been watching Guys get barreled for 45 Years and have seen thousands of them. That was the best backside , check turn barrel I have ever seen! That was insane!!!!!

Woaaaaaahhhhh!!! How. What. Huh. 50 years.... never seen... that critical. Speechless 🙊

Look's fun, lotta time to set up the inside,look's like a fun wave!! But the cold water is another story!!Good video!!Excellent surfing!!!

Wow! That last barrel. Just wow. You the man!)

Nate you are like water, you flow as if you are the wave. I've never seen such a surreal capture of a surfer become the foamball before exiting on friendly terms with a bone crushing monster. There's a mastery of Tao in your nature Nate, it's an absolute joy to watch. Mind blowing! :)

That was so frickin awesome, That one wave looked reeeeaallllly familiar to someone else’s outer reef bomb a while back😮 , Irelands XXXL version of Pipe WOW ,you make it look so easy

That was absolutely mental Nate!! Congrats brother on that sick wave. How technical and on the precipice were you on that ride. You are legend!!!

Such a talented Waterman Nate, that was a sick barrel, really enjoying the coldwater tour

Many times I can get board of a surf video after a few minutes as it can get repetitious but not this one . The filming and editing was spot on and the surfing was spectacular.

Late to the comments here, BUT, This is the most (literally) breathtaking thing I have ever seen period. You know it's nucking futz when your adrenal glands fire watching a KZread video. I said out loud "He's fucking dead" and you made it, in casual style. How amazing that you have this from all these angles and share it with us. To quote another poster "I truly appreciate your craft."

Epic wave!! That foam ball was crazy! Here's a good one- Family having breakfast, little boy says "Dad, are we Irish?" Dad- "Shut up and drink your whisky"

Wow take care always guys, god bless you

You got to be kidding! That’s looks so HEAVY. Nice Wave make…That is worthy of a sheet ton of Respect and appreciation only a surfer would know

10:46 calls to mind Teahupoo (name the countless surfers making that drop)...11:01 calls to mind Kelly's 2014 Wave of the Winter Pipe submittal. Nate pulled this off BRILLIANTLY....and it's Winter:) Congrats Bro...great schit!!

Been looking forward to this and wasnt disappointed. Such a gentleman and humble human surfing my favourite wave I'd never surf in a lifetime. Thanks so much.

Next level gnarly. Show up in the cold and charge one of the biggest, best backside paddle in barrels ever. Much respect. That was mental. 👍

That was the best tube foam ball floater ever. Wave of the winter!

My homeland. Great video buddy

Absolutely love the West coast of Ireland before I had my stroke I'd take a trip over there for a few weeks in the autumn you can literally drive along the coast road take any turn off to the sea and find an awesome break and be surfing on your own .

Damn!!! The way that wave slows down and then catches up and spits you out is horrific!! Jesus!! That bomb at the end was INSANE!! Good shit Nate

Unreal. The explosion of the wave as you're inside is such a sick capture too. Well done!

Yep ! Man Irish people are the friendliest on earth and gnarliest on a rugby, Gaelic football or hurling field, these people are unbelievable ! Thanks for sharing buddy

This video was psychoo.... Omg... What skills! Congrats. SA

Wow 🙌🏼 so amazing!!!

The best. Truth! Love for the people, respect. What a wave!!! There should be at least contest in the cold northern seas in order to be called the worlds best.

Name your a freakin legend ! Inspiration. Stoked you came to Ireland and paddled the craziest backside bomb I've ever seen.

Nathan wow thank you 😃🤙 10.39 till 11:03 absolutely insane that looked incredible 😳

That session in new water was epic; I couldn’t believe how many times I thought the beast ate you, but there you were, cruising out and over to do it again. Your frozen face and smile says it all.
