    Like, who does this?
    Wake up at 5am, go down a steep wet grass path, paddle out to a death slab , shifty mega slab ,and try it out?
    Nate, leading the way. Crazy 😎 cool.

    Great video! Would love a vid/segment where you explain what you're seeing when scouting a new spot, particularly what are you taking note of/researching to prepare yourself to stay safe surfing a place you're not yet familiar with both from land and also once you're in the water. Would be awesome for those of us who see your videos and are inspired to explore as well

    At least for me, 64 years old now. Growing up as a kid in South Santa Cruz county. Back then, being a kneeboarder was cool. Riding little boards/exploring/finding places that the General Public would not go. I see this same in Nathan. And He has the whole world now to work with.

    Large is an understatement that was huge and very thick water
    Unbelievable you guys paddled this fast moving swells,
    That place with some skiis would be bombing rides,
    The new Mr. Cool found his voice the mystery is over. It’s good to hear your analysis of the conditions keep it up, it helps the content having the conversation.
