    What a cool experience, riding the waves in itself was the true reward, but feels awesome from a career standpoint to finally get the coveted ride of the year and surfer of the year! Shout out to my lovely wife for putting up with my crazyness all year and always supporting me! And I want to thank all of you guys my loyal subscribers for the support and for being a huge part of the last 12 months of chaos you all were pretty much along the ride with us through this youtube channel! So thank you appreciate all of you !!

      More than your subscribers I think we're your brothers after Ivan. Your videos don't feel like vlogs but more like family videos, and watching your evolution as a surfer has been awesome. Your brothers and family are proud of you. 🤙

    Dude...so stoked for you. I know in your heart of hearts that you don't do this for the awards. But let's be honest here: nobody has done more for this sport than you and your worldwide tours. The compilation of your biggest waves of the year was insane! After watching that and watching you tame the Mullaghmore beast, was there ever any doubt?? Going to Vic's in Bradley to celebrate with a pie tomorrow night cause they're closed Mondays. Keep doing the difficult things( and making them look easy) and from all of us watching, be safe out there brother. We love you Nate. You are the best and you deserve ALL the good stuff.

    This is the culmination of what happens when putting yourself where others don’t. And that’s not a knock on anyone else, but I’m not seeing anyone else taking the roads less or rarely travelled and surfing the waves infrequently ridden and documenting it. Congrats!!

    You 100% deserve it. Thank you for continuing to show respect for bodyboarding and showing bodyboarders on your channel. Our sport is barely surviving now, nowhere near like it used to be in the 80's and 90's. And for someone on such a high level of surfing to take the time and even show bodyboarding means alot. So much respect for you and your family.

So glad to see you thriving and getting recognition for being such a great ambassador for the sport. Also really cool to see a lesser-known wave featured in ride of the year. Congratulations and keep killing it! Excited for this next season.

    Damn, blessed I got to share my home break with you in New York. To think I got to surf with a guy that travels the world and dominates the biggest and baddest waves is surreal. Could not have gone to a more humble and kind guy. Was a pleasure to have you surf with us and watch how kind you were to the local community. Cheers

    The 2 main surfing channels i watch, Tim Bonython and Nathan Florence.. both incredibly well deserved. Nate you should get an award for paddler of the year!
    Watching you paddle super far in deep cold water, crazy currents, mad sketchy slabs you or possible noone else has ever surfed, insane!

    Your level of professionalism is second to none Nate. Unapologetically taking surfing by the scruff of the shirt and pushing it in the direction it needs to go. The grind paid dividends and the wins were well deserved. Looking forward to seeing how far the big wave limits are pushed this winter and the continuation of the slab tour. Also thank you to you and Zoard the lord for taking the rest of us along for the ride you absolute weapon.
