being almost 60 yrs old now it totally reminds me of how surf trips used to be ,, sometimes it would be weeks or months before you'd see another surfer especially indo ,, totally different experience then now ,, nice score !!
@@OversikerSTUDIO My comment was not the salty surfer comment that you are implying. I just don't think you understand... Not sure I could explain it to you if you don't already get it but I will try. Up - up - down - down - left - right - left - right - B - A - start
he really nails the feeling of getting lost on a trip. You lose yourself and become what feels like your true self. you fully lose touch with any kind of reality or awareness of real life or money or responsibilities. Time becomes completely abstract. Shit gets really weird and coming home after really fucks your head up.
I've also been living on a small Pacific island with (not as good) surf for the last six months, and that hair thing happened here for both guys and girls. LOL. It was definitely the time to experiment. I'm not really looking forward to leaving my piece of paradise even if it's for home for the holidays. Also, typo: *surfed
Yes, many people have had this experience where they get bored of barrels, you just need bigger ones or time off, I had it at nias a four foot barrel became boring got so many, then u have time off different souroundings you get ure froth back
I can relate. Our office got shut down and we all had to work from home. After a while I also had "a bit to drink". I didn't shave my head though, so I can only imagine how bad he had it. ;)
I know what he is talking about, had the last 5 years living in front of the most perfect, fast left hand point, surfing it any time it was good which was a lot, not Indo, but Ireland, cold Indo. Not bored of it yet haha
The 2 local kids at the beginning are fearless ... they sit at the end of the wave and pop airs over the surgeons table. Give it a couple more years and they'll be ruling the main peak.
I also got my head shaved (clean off) at that surf spot. First and only time in my life to shave my head. (Normally I'm not a skinhead) Loved it bc the temperature is warm there. Felt better without hair.
I'm trying to figure out how these surfers financed these trips that got extended into months. Is it still dirt cheap to live in front of Lance's, or do they have deep pockets?
Yeah,now we know for when there's another lockdown,just go where there's killer surf and and get stuck,surfing,in barrels..could become the next trend,peace
He left when he heard there was gonna be a lockdown which is exactly the opposite of what he should have done (and likely how the virus kept spreading further). Had he been casually in the Mentawais unable to get home, that would have been a cool story. Instead, it was irresponsible and very selfish of him. And now he is selling his story. This is worth disliking.
@@spooksterznz2798 ahhh the majestic Karen found in her natural online environment bitching about others having a good time. corona aint a thing girl all stats prove it. others saw it for what it was and went for a dream trip. you bought the hoax and got imprisoned by government lol
What is his income source? How is it possible for this guy in his early 20's to finance a spur of the moment three month Mentawais surf trip without pre-planning from, I'm assuming, Brazil?
Hey....got a trade here for you. I'll head to that spot to get bored with perfect barrels and you can slip on ice and shovel snow off your driveway all winter.
RIP to his backhand surfing
He could learn switchfoot.
He don't stand up- moron- look at his neck! Blind imaginators!
@@mike_p941 Still not the same as a normal bs wave though.
lances left is literally on the otherside?
@@MickGEE86 But if given the choice, why would he ever go left? 😂
Wow, I feel so bad for him, what a tough time.
😂
Bro..
this is what I picture heaven like when I die! Jesus coming by every once in a while to have a session with me and my bros too!
This has to be the best lockdown experience ever ahah
This dudes vibe is immaculate.
Yeah dude, like I know, like he's like, cool !
Mine would be too if I got stuck there
Such great vibes from this young lad. This is what surfing does to you. Love it🤙
being almost 60 yrs old now it totally reminds me of how surf trips used to be ,, sometimes it would be weeks or months before you'd see another surfer especially indo ,, totally different experience then now ,, nice score !!
If I had that many waves to myself I would have such a hard time returning to the crowds here in LA.
Yep, me too at 61:)
Im glad i experienced surftrips and got that alone feeling . Wow .
Same thing happened to me, only it was el Salvador. 142 days...
Then i woke up, realized it was just a dream and had to go to work.🤙
Super cool edit. Nice narrating Nathan, very entertaining. I bet your surfing improved 10 fold, lucky you brother!! hahaha
"I don't want to get barreled on my own you know" what on earth are you talking about😂
Kids these days 🤣
Yea i try to do that all the time hahah
Good problem to have
Right!!!?!?! Forgets his life after 3 months too......? Children 🙄
it's so much funner w/ friends.
Probably ruined surfing for him.. how could you ever surf in a crowd again
these guys like you... Everything has its pros and cons, surfing with others brings you sharing the joy!

@@OversikerSTUDIO surfing with your mates is a blast. Angry, competitive crowds is another story brotha.
Nathan is my son and I swear he surf all the time he can do with all happiness we all can feel ahahaha
Haha yea, then wishing you could surf alone again 😝
I was a surf instructor in Nicaragua and surged twice a day for 3 months with barely a day off and it truly was the dream
Still is the dream 😎
Zero crowd Popoyo, Santana and Colorado for 7 straight months.... No complaints here!
Which area do you recommend to stay for an extended period of time for surf?
"Err, yes mr barber, I would like reverse priest thing"
He can come to the US northeast for knee high, on shore therapy.
True
knee high?...that's sick day off from work brah...
Nathan : this is not real life
Jamie o brian : is my life a joke to you?
Surfing to me, is like Dancing for your SOUL and your woman is the OCEAN ! Who at times BTW shows NO MERCY. Awesome vid !
Whats Sureing? Do I need a Thruster for that lol? Great Edit!
unreal job stab....you just got me absolutely stoked.

Im jealous, sounds like it was a very unique experience
well....how many folks surfed the ments "alone" ....? every week we have a new one...
jealous much?
Well there was Lance Knight ..........
@@alfonsoembid-desmet3236 ahahahahaha indeed
Great video, great surfing spot.
Yeah man, it’s made me decide I wanna go there one day
Surfed there in the early 90's no one around..living on a fishing boat
I see u again
Why do you comment on every surf video like chill tf out bro
Thank you 😃🤙 wow can’t think of anywhere better to get stuck in lockdown you totally lucked out 👏🏼
What a curious time in human history we are experiencing

Must be my favourite Video on UA-cam! True Spirit
bored after barrels.... going to be a tough readjustment
Imagine how good you get with this arrangement?!
"Alone" for a Canggu kid is anything less than 30 surfers.
Hahah ya exactly was people in water prity much every surf !!!!
that's what life should be all about mate
Crumbs, I imagined my board snapping on day one and now im traumatised
same haha
An eye opening insight into the struggles of the best lock down ever! 😂😂
"Reverse priest thing" hahaha love it
Yes, many people have had this experience where they get bored of barrels, you just need bigger ones or time off, I had it at nias a four foot barrel became boring got so many, then u have time off different souroundings you get ure froth back
I love this kid. Rips too.
I can relate. Our office got shut down and we all had to work from home. After a while I also had "a bit to drink". I didn't shave my head though, so I can only imagine how bad he had it. ;)
Well done ⚡️ cool waves, edit & music! 🔥🔥
thats an experience of a lifetime kid
NIce video mate, greetings from Brazilian shipspotter.
Not crowded, but definitely not alone.
yep..wondered about that....could of been me and a mate at rote if we left a few weeks earlier
"i just drank a little bit" yeah, sure...
In 2001 I stayed at lances rights for 2 months in one of the chiefs huts .. no surf resort back then.. got barreled off my face everyday!
this guy remembers how to surf backside ? probably not..
Other side of the island is lance left lol
sick video. this dude had so much perfection in abundance that it lost its value. a good problem to have!
btw whats the song?
Mystic Braves - "Bright Blue Day Haze"
@@freewheelin173 im sad i just found these guys, thanks. so many years late :P
Lucky bastard! And I thought my “corona holiday” was good!
I know what he is talking about, had the last 5 years living in front of the most perfect, fast left hand point, surfing it any time it was good which was a lot, not Indo, but Ireland, cold Indo. Not bored of it yet haha
Ssshhhhh lol
Ireland sucks brah
jake11101 no Ireland is insane man.
Nice what bit of Ireland are you based?
No chance u surfed that thing year round with perfect conditions. 3/4 of the year is onshore blown out shite
Am I the only one who prefers surfing on their own???
So epic, but how did he not get injured or anything?! Surfing such a high demand wave so consistently for so long must take a toll on your body?
The 2 local kids at the beginning are fearless ... they sit at the end of the wave and pop airs over the surgeons table. Give it a couple more years and they'll be ruling the main peak.
Cannot wait to watch
Epicccc. Enough barrels for a lifetime. Surfs really good too!
I also got my head shaved (clean off) at that surf spot. First and only time in my life to shave my head. (Normally I'm not a skinhead) Loved it bc the temperature is warm there. Felt better without hair.
Bright blue day haze is the perfect surf song
Right hand barrel game strongg Nathan!😜🌴✅
Love your vids
Awesome! Anyone knows the name of the song that's playing?
Bright Blue Day Haze by Mystic Braves
Is the spot usually packed?
hey Nathan, keep us updated man.
He is now living in Montana, wishing he never said that… God works in mysterious ways
So rad. Beyond freedom.
Good video!
1:06 ..This guy is literally surfing on top of the lip
floater?
Does anyone know who the song is by?
After three months in the mentawais he's the best living surfer in the world.
I wonder how many board must he must´ve brought for a 3 months Corona trip holiday
ugh - when we surfed Lance's 4 boats pulled up ...
I could think of worse places to be locked down.
what a freaking Legend
Yoo the boat captain of that little skiff is the french dude that has been taken Cavy out GT fishing in the mentawais during covid... Is that right?
yuppp
Song?
What board is he riding?
It will be enough that Nathan comes to the Adriatic puddle for 3 days of surf, that the his feeling to perfect waves came back immediately ...
Wait what? Adriatic Sea has surfing spot?
Bojan Babic Seems strange but Yes! Have a look in Instagram @romagnaland
I'm trying to figure out how these surfers financed these trips that got extended into months. Is it still dirt cheap to live in front of Lance's, or do they have deep pockets?
Someone has gotta have deep pockets. Young enough to still be funded by someone..right?
some people are born into wealth and don’t need to worry about these kind of things
Yeah can be real cheap
He said he went with his best friend’s parents. So maybe his friend has the money. We all have one rich friend no? 😂
Subsidized by wealthy parents I guess !
great stuff
Anyone know's that song name?
Doesn't he already live in Bali ? Cmon
What's with the hokey island speak?
Playlist?
Where abouts in Indonesia?
Yeah,now we know for when there's another lockdown,just go where there's killer surf and and get stuck,surfing,in barrels..could become the next trend,peace
Forget your life, but not your camera... ;-D
So sick...the 11 peeps who disliked this video are just pissed they weren't stuck there when quarantine hit!!! Lmao 🤣

@@Justinmvdp Which stats would they be? The ones you cooked up in your fevered little mind?
am i missing something ? I thought he was alone
Will one day barrels get boring 🤔😅.
He wasn't all alone

Who cares
@@silveringots Me, they are my questions. If you don't care and have no answers, hit the road.
@@Simon.the.Likeable nobody cares about you either. People surf so what obviously you don't
@@silveringots Your urge to defend Nathan shows your attraction to him is deeper than platonic. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
@@Simon.the.Likeable you're a kook
Anyone know the song?
That in the basque country please
who paid ?
How much does it end up costing you for 3 months?
Poor bugger that must've been terrible
He out-Lanced Lance Knight!
Sorry but I don’t think I could ever be bored of perfect front side barrels with not a soul in sight
Wich part was he alone? Coze on every frame i see ppl lmao
Sureding looks siiiiick!
Hey....got a trade here for you. I'll head to that spot to get bored with perfect barrels and you can slip on ice and shovel snow off your driveway all winter.
Amazing
so sick!
he lives my dream life.
Must be nice having that kind of dollars
