Hey Nathan, the bodyboarder is an old friend of mine, his name is Andreas. Australian living in Berlin for years now. Great guy!! Looks like you guys had fun
Love it. And mad props to old mate sending it as a fellow boog, the energy I get off you being un biased towards bodyboarders gives me hope for the future of slab surfing, whatever shape of the craft, charging is charging
Cold water surfing is extremely difficult used to hate surfing in the winter in Ireland when i was beginning but strange thing happens after a while you fall in love in the pain and struggle. Honestly impressed how easy you adapted to the cold brother:)
totally agree with you! something about the extra struggle makes it all feel more worth it, and i got super fkn fit paddling in the cold with all the rubber on!
Love the glove rant!! A good tip for solo sessions in freezing weather is to bring a cooler full of hot water and leave it by your car when you go out. When you get in put your hands and feet in it to regain feeling, then you have enough dexterity to get your wetsuit unzipped (to unlock the car and get your suit/gloves/booties off)!
This is my favorite vlog of yours I've seen. First time ever hearing Celtic music paired with surfing, and the landscape shots were so awe-inspiring that I actually got unexpectedly emotional taking it all in. What an amazing place.
One response about unexpected emotion, was spot on, something about Celtic music does that to about everyone, my oldest son learned to play bagpipes, and every time I hear him play, I'm in tears, but back to this vlog, nice job Nate, crazy too, is that rock there looks like a quarry for castle building, too cool, this was definitely one of your best
This could be my new fav vlog of yours and I pretty sure it's because of your wife natural reactions to your surfing and how you edited it to feel real organic by, for example chosing non distracting background music which volume didn't overpower your wife's reaction to your surfing and the sound of the waves and nature. Bravo!
Loving these edited treasures from last year … Mahina & you are a great team. Musical selections perfect adding some humor for anyone insane enough to surf this frkn cold stuff … you don’t see Mahina out there do you? She’s sane, thankfully. Gorgeous slabs of geological formations! Thank you so much for sharing!
E P I C vlog man. The end almost looks like where Thanos threw off Gamora for the Soul Stone, the "Ultimate Sacrafice". Look at me sounding like a movie diehard and i dont even like Avengers much, just couldnt help myself. That place at night with a storm is probably eerie as all hell. Epic break too, love seeing you be-friend a booger(as i am one myself!). Seemed like a chill down to earth dude. He charged it and got some bombs, those pits he was in prob were some gnarly views man. All with no booties or gloves sheeesh. The wifey is a legend for staying out and recording, thank you! Be safe guys!
The table like slab of the shoreline revealing the slab below. A bonafide slab break and a chill that could kill. A very artful presentation. I was mesmerized by the surroundings and in awe of the boldness to surf such a place. Well Done.
I remember getting to watch this session in person, me and my mate hiding behind one of the windmills trying to get out the way of the freezing wind and rain haha. Was sick getting to watch you and the bodyboarder trade waves on such a gnarly slab🤙
You called him William as Mahina was filming him coming in. What incredible drone shots at the end. Crazy place. If rocks could talk, the giant waves they have seen. Gnarly. Thanks P.j.
Watch out for the foam: it can be deadly… if you get pushed into even deeper foam where you can’t get on top of by sitting up, you can suffocate. Happened to 5 Dutch very able surfers 2 years ago in a freak accident! Cheers for another great vid!
yeah, the surface can be tricky. Once I duck dived and landed under a loaf of seaweed and was stuck under it. I had to get off my board and slide next to my board and later exit.
Thought about Scheveningen and the 5 men who drowned right away when he started about paddling in the foam. Be careful out there Thanks for the great video 🙌
His surfing bloody good but his paddling always stands out. He made the paddle out look so easy when it could have got ugly real quick. Seems like all that training pays off.
Cold cold cold! I used to surf all year round in UK until I tasted warmer foreign winter waves 🤣 Props to Mahina for staying out in the wet and cold to get your footage. "I'm committed to you babes." Sums up your gorgeousness as a couple 💕 As other comments have already said, it is so impressive that you're prepared to do such cold waves. Thanks for another great vid Nate. I hope you're able to surf again now and start creating new footage. Lots of love to both of you from the UK 🤙✨️🙏😍
Wat a great way to meet people..nice Nathan.. lot of people my never get 2 Hawaii, so this was amazing for them..and people love it..i meet Rob mahcodo( spelled wrong sori)in Raglan talked a wee bit,best day ever..🇳🇿✌️
what a cracking vid, cheers to the Aussie on the boogie, and cheers for saying 'legend' and 'unit' in our vernacular, I'm sure you're forgiven for forgetting his name ☺
When u surf real waves it unites surfers & bodyboarders, u kind of want others to b around cuz something could easily happen. Big ups to that dude for joining
I’m not a surfer but a technical diver and this reminds me of a dive I did in Iceland. There is truly something special about the pain that makes the payoff unexplainable.
@@NathanFlorence That's the best time of the year to come cos you can get swells from both the north and south and the water is still warm. The whole country fires. Highly recommend Northland, Raglan, Gisborne, Taranaki, Dunedin and The Catlins.
Gloves are good, not those five fingers…only lobster claws!…gets way cold over here…lows in the high 30’s… once it goes below 60 over here I’m the first one in the full gear, hood up…everything and I don’t peel nothing off until at least May! Great video!
@@0warami_7oo up here in New Jersey we all wear the lobster claws, they are warmer because your four fingers make the water warmer then individually, and you can get a big stroke when paddling.
Nate, you & Mahina are Legends! Braving the cold with the body boarder to get Barreled. No pain, NO gain. Good on ya crew! Next C T tour stop. Ha . . .
@3:37 great different refreshing music to hear in a surf vlog... A+ though at no point I see credits to the song musician's etc. You should include credits in video or description. You just gotta get used to gloves...paddling isnt that bad. Pretty much all cold water surfers wear them. Great vid...incredible scenery and sketchy AF spot entry and exit. Highly interesting!
Great video brother much love from PR! Those cliffs are so epic, it’s on my bucket list to camp on the edge of one of those super dramatic cliffs after a psycho surf seshh!! Thanks for the inspiration, best wishes brotha yeeeewww🤙🏽❤️
Me:😅Alegra, do you think I’ll make it surfing in the cold ? Echo silver : You have been taking cold showers for a couple of years now, I believe in you! Me: I don’t know about that 🥶😹
Hey Nathan do you ever see any fish/marine life in the waters around these cold slabs in Ireland and Scotland ? the water looks cold but nice & clear just wondering if you ever see anything as no one ever talks about the life underneath the water around those parts.
Boogers name is 'Barefoot McFreezingtoes' rumour has it he is still trying to thaw out his pinkies!! Joking aside; how good are decent locals! That was a great watch!
Yep spent most except some surf trips abroad surfing in cold water, Cornwall and now North Wales Started at 18 now 56 and still going mostly now body boarding .That paddle out with the rocks behind ,been there digging deep foam every where not seeming to be able to move forwards LOL .The water temp here now is 6 deg C Wales very annoying as we have had ground swell for 2 Weekes and i only have a 4/3 boots and gloves and can only last about 45 mins in the water but hay no competition for waves only me out there .On gloves i use 1.5mm and a tight fit just enough to take the edge off the cold but not hamper the paddling. Going in the water later on here i can watch from my lounge window and go when its at its best LOL.

As a year round surfer in the Pacific Northwest I can confirm… by the end of winter you really feel like you accomplished something lol
Ireland water does not get cold, how do you think I feel surfing the north sea at 6 degrees
Beautiful place!
totally agree with you! something about the extra struggle makes it all feel more worth it, and i got super fkn fit paddling in the cold with all the rubber on!

the first music is "banish misfortune"

Nearly drowned above water in really big surf near Trestles years back. Freaked me out for sure. It's like the surfing equivalent of a tree well.
@ToneLok
Well said and when you know, you know.
yeah, the surface can be tricky. Once I duck dived and landed under a loaf of seaweed and was stuck under it. I had to get off my board and slide next to my board and later exit.
Yeah, I remember that happening as well. Foam can be very bad news.
Thought about Scheveningen and the 5 men who drowned right away when he started about paddling in the foam.
Be careful out there
Thanks for the great video 🙌
Unity. Thanks Nathan. Your inclusion of boogs and other wave riders is very appreciated. Helps more than you know.
His surfing bloody good but his paddling always stands out. He made the paddle out look so easy when it could have got ugly real quick. Seems like all that training pays off.
thanks boss! paddling in all that rubber took some getting used to but once i did it was on!
That's what I was thinking! Like at 8:11 that could've gone really nasty if the duckdive was mistimed, but Nate made it look so effortless!
Yeah the entry was sketchy with the second duck dive, timed well and with a bit of luck.
As a bodyboarder, that gentleman is luckyyyyy! Imagine getting to have a session with Nathan Florence, randomly lol cool video as always
Beautiful drone footage! And what a blessing your wife is, she’s enjoying herself as well, you can tell!
Yes Andreas! He told me he met you and surfed with each other. Mad to see the video finally
whats his Insta i wan tto send him his clips
Cold cold cold! I used to surf all year round in UK until I tasted warmer foreign winter waves 🤣
Props to Mahina for staying out in the wet and cold to get your footage.

Precious memories that will last a lifetime. Beauty images Mahina y Nathan. This is why you need to travel and explore the planet. Inspiring
Another awesome video, beautiful area and Surfing. I got cold watching and had to put my blanket on 😂
Very cool… great surfing and those kids were stoked to meet up with you!!
One of the best surf videos bibs ever seen. Two people brought together with the love of surfing. The music is perfect too.
btw here is the music ua-cam.com/video/0V291iuiqlc/v-deo.html
@6:45 I find mitts or lobster claw gloves improve paddling, and because fingers are together they are much warmer.
Epic looking coastline team
Great viewing again
Keep searching that ultimate ride
Might need to do some more vlogs together. Some surfing experiences shared between you two. Good quality wholesome entertainment
🙏🏼🤙🏼👌🏼
Music , scenic beauty and surf, all wrapped up in a great video.
ty for giving bodyboarding some love hope for a collab with mason ho or som bodyboarder in the future to
Probably the best video on channel! Great music, commentary, scenery! Well done! Now come to Canada!!!
Wat a great way to meet people..nice Nathan.. lot of people my never get 2 Hawaii, so this was amazing for them..and people love it..i meet Rob mahcodo( spelled wrong sori)in Raglan talked a wee bit,best day ever..🇳🇿✌️
Thanks for sharing man… appreciate.. much love to you two.. hopefully the legend shows up in the comments ..
Just beautiful, a rare gem for youtube surf clips.
what a cracking vid, cheers to the Aussie on the boogie, and cheers for saying 'legend' and 'unit' in our vernacular, I'm sure you're forgiven for forgetting his name ☺
So awesome! My Irish, Scottish, Norwegian descent loves this.
That is one heavy slab boys!! You guys are way core to charge it along with the cold water!!! Good on ya lads!!! 🏄♂️ 🌊 👍
Nice drone view of Castle of Yesnaby. Which I have climbed a few times back in the 80’s. Beautiful islands.
When u surf real waves it unites surfers & bodyboarders, u kind of want others to b around cuz something could easily happen. Big ups to that dude for joining
Thanks for sharing, music was on point APU,
Looking good👍
Love all the music!! Including that goofy song during the session LOL. Reminds me of the band "Ween"
Mahina and the bodyboarder are the stars of this film 🥶🌊🫶🏼
agreed!
This was the best vlog ive seen in a long while , loved it!
The shoreline at that place is gorgeous. One of the best.
Another sick edit! Awesome cinematography, solid slabs and some local legends 🤙🤙
The color of the water there, just beautiful.
I’m not a surfer but a technical diver and this reminds me of a dive I did in Iceland. There is truly something special about the pain that makes the payoff unexplainable.
As one on the very few bodyboarders I know in Scotland…I absolutely love this!!!
The end shot is unreal! You two are the best, hilarious. Nate legend🙌
Dude you've got to get mittens they keep your hands much warmer because all your fingers are together plus less seems along with more paddle power .
You should tour New Zealand. Would be a sick vlog
hopefully be there for all of april may

@@joeskienz Fond memories of Dunedin.
@@NathanFlorence You will love New Zealand. Just about every geographical landscape you can think of squished into smallish North and South island.
@@joeskienz i think that he allready knew to come in that time of the year ;)
Such a cool parting shot. Thanks again for the great content.
Nate thank you for the content. What an incredible place. Hope you are completely healed soon
Such a good Humble Sport Nathan,mad Respect!
My fav VLog besides, Barley...Straight up charging in heavy water, No bullshit and no hype, Stoked to see organic content like this growing!!!!

are the claw gloves better ? I wear gloves but not tried the claws in Australia

@@njonebale7889 lobster claws just sounds so good I gotta try some
@@0warami_7oo word! I’ll send you a pair, I got plenty!
@@njonebale7889 come and visit this august, when it gets cold down here and bring the lobster claws
Thanks for sharing the swells this side of the pond!
Nate, you & Mahina are Legends! Braving the cold with the body boarder to get Barreled. No pain, NO gain.
Good on ya crew! Next C T tour stop. Ha . . .
thanks dude
2nd song is cracking me up man - great few sessions Nate!
Sick drone footage at the end. Scotland - "the land that time forgot".
Cool Ending to this Vid! Thanks for Sharing Nathan and Mahina!
Duuude.. If you don't go!!! Gnar.. Good for laughs on this side of the computer.😆🤐🧐
Y’all are an amazing couple bro. And your soooooo underrated. You should definitely be surfer of the year on all the mag covers. You kill it homie.
Gotta say These shares of you guys are wonderful. Ohana.
P.S. we need more glove rants... please?
I truly enjoyed seeing your wife in your blog, finally! 😂 Good stuff Nate!

It's nice to hear and see Mahina. Maybe you should hire her as your voiceover narrator in addition to your filmer?
When that music kicked in...😭😂😂😂😂
Great video brother much love from PR! Those cliffs are so epic, it’s on my bucket list to camp on the edge of one of those super dramatic cliffs after a psycho surf seshh!! Thanks for the inspiration, best wishes brotha yeeeewww🤙🏽❤️
Such a rad session looks like a blast!
Me:😅Alegra, do you think I’ll make it surfing in the cold ?
Echo silver : You have been taking cold showers for a couple of years now, I believe in you!
Me: I don’t know about that 🥶😹
Love the Gerry board, red with a big bolt!
Raddest video ever!!
Great videos! I’ve been loving the music as well!
*Sketchy bro....*

❤ that one Nate that was really cool. Pardon the pun.
You and the wifey make a great vlog team.
Wow those rocks were so perfectly stacked. 🌎 is neeto! Cold water souls!
so enjoyable to watch 👌🏴
Freaking awesome. Definitely going to have to fish up a board next time I’m across the pond!
"We are going to surf our first left".
Everyone proceeds to go right🤣
Good stuff!
At the end, it was like Cody meeting Big Z from #SurfsUp
Killer soundtrack 🤣⛳
"go in!....i have the angle!"....classic!!
Welcome it’s cold in the uk today enjoy our shores and good luck 🤞
What a incredible place! You and your wife seem to be amazing humans! I love the vlogs and also your incredible talent! Keep up the stoke!🙏🤙🏄♂️🥜
Nathan guide him! Nathan: check out these rock formations though 😂
Those stairs are so sick. No wonder it’s all slabbed out out there
that spot looks so insane!!!
At least this session it was only mildly super sketchy compared to that last time. Boogie was killing it yeeeew!
Such a cool edit from an amazing place in some challenging weather for filmer Mahina!
Boogers name is 'Barefoot McFreezingtoes' rumour has it he is still trying to thaw out his pinkies!! Joking aside; how good are decent locals! That was a great watch!

Looks like our lineup in Alaska last summer 😂🤘🏼

Great shots 🤙🏻
The real legend is your lady standing in the cold filming y’all!!
