Idk if it shows but this spot is legit very scary some waves your scared but you push, this spot felt like you only want a few and then to go in and be safe ha!! Hope dylan heals up! 3 broken ribs and punctured lung, one wipeout and that happened! Thanks for watching everyone!!

      It’s good to hear you say that… All the places you go or so mental but this wave seems particularly angry… I just can’t imagine the power and intimidation of navigating the shifting sets and massive beatings

    Happy Aussie Birthday Nate! You're becoming a legend in your own time my man! Also, Mad Props to 17 yr old Noah Hassett!!! I stopped the vid to get a pen/paper to jot this young man's name down. I was totally impressed with his skills. One wave, the lip guillotined him, & he went down, then it shows him getting the axe on his head/neck, & I thought, ih shit, bad wipeout, but out of the spray & whitewater, & in slo-mo, you see him appear, still riding it out!!! Amazing balance & composure for a bloke that young. Please pass this on to him, he deserves the credit, as does the ski pilots!

  • @wavester46
    @wavester46 Рік тому +48

    That first tow wave of Nathan's was so thick, the volume of water behind him is amazing. Living in South Oz I know how harsh that country is and for someone like Nathan who grew up in Hawaii just to surf those waters let alone take on a slab like that is like surfing on Mars. In summer time the land temp can go over 40c (104f) and water stays ~16C. Not only are there very large sharks that frequent those waters ( Where the original Jaws live shark scenes were filmed), giant blood sucking flies with green eyes will chase you down to the waters edge and bite you through your wetsuit! Not to mention the scorpions that live under the nearest rock and the brown snakes that have a potentially lethal bite if you're unlucky enough to step on while walking through the scrub. Yes people this is Australia but it ain't no Gold Coast take a shower on the beach.

    I had collapsed lungs twice and cracked multiple ribs many times. It is hard to breathe going through that and if you feel like you’re going to sneeze you are terrified because of the pain. To stay and watch his daughter surf takes a lot of commitment and some carelessness. Was stuck in the hospital for over a week the first time and same for the second because they have to put a tube between my ribs and hook me up to some machine for quite a few days. At least I was loaded up on painkillers the whole time. Hope he gets better because it’s not fun especially if he has to have the tube in his chest.

      Yep sneezing with broken ribs feels like Mike Tyson got you with a body shot, well I should say attempting to sneeze - in my experience I got the aa ( breathe in) then the pain was so bad it canceled the Choo (nothing came out).
