I surfed Petecalco in Mexico in the same area back in the 70s - which was a similar wave. These waves like NF is on, I can only imagine the power. On 7ft Petecalco any wipeout pinned you on the cobblestone bottom and popped your ears. I got my first case of swimmer ear there. A wave like Nate's could easily kill you. Much respect to these warriors
Makes me feel better about doing the same thing on Sunday at Mangawhai. However, the scale of my wave and underwater adventure was a lot smaller fortunately!
nate's gotta be one of the best surfers that's ever lived.
committed and fearless.
E A T E N by the beast.

Oh shit!
coulda been deeper
Look at that air drop. If he makes that he is a legend!
How does he hold onto the GoPRo mouth mount during a wipeout like this!!!!
Totally nailed ,probably landed on his board too ,RIP
Don’t die Blondie.🌊🌲🇺🇸☝️
That HAD to have been a punishing beating. Jesus
He stood up at the landing instead of staying locked in. Heavy water
The great thing about Nathan is no doubt he was still likely thinking ‘I can make this’ 😬🫣
…the guys a champion!
that´s what I though, all that time he was on the air he was believing he could control the contact
Trying to stick that is insane. Easily 10 feet of that was airdrop.
That place is SO heavy.
vertical face and he is freefalling but yet still committed
Smoke city set in Gnar Gnar Land.
Did he dead?
Looks mushy
Sorry man.
Heavy Wipeout.
He almost landed that
