    You guys spend so much time in the washing machine and make it look like nothing! Mad respect! Love the duck diving shots! You were hardly losing anything and that was heavy water! Those waves just would not stand up and hollow out! Thanks for sharing your craft is such a beautiful way!

      One of the coolest parts of the nose cam imo is getting to see the duck dive form, especially with how quick Nate gets down to the board when those things are crashing just over top of it!

    That duckdive at 1:38 is beyond crazy! Making it look like 2ft anywhere rather than a gnarly North Shore sandbank! so sick ..or is it Rockpiles? It's that secret pocket just in front of the whitewater explosion eight?

    This is why I watch, seeing the best in their natural environment.
    Loved the duck diving and would appreciate more underwater footage, how the reef forces the waves, fins slicing through the wave. Would rather watch that than talking heads inside or on the beach
    Thanks for the videos , appreciate your commitment

    I love this video. I used to be so insistent, like "I'm gonna duck dive this, no matter what!" It got to a limit when I was out at Middle Peak lefts. Big set, peak shifting West (you think North, but it's West, toward Its or Mitchells) catches me right in the zone, snapping an 8' 6" Steve Colletta pintail with a quarter-inch stringer right in my hands, and just punches me down through the deck of my board. The ones that shift West break further out. The same size wave shifting East towards the wharf are the big ones that march way inside before breaking. Anyway that's how you waste a beautiful 8' 6". Colletta boards were insane. I can't surf anymore cause of old injuries so videos are it for me.

    • @davidjackson2179

      Seriously. Nathan turns into a submarine every duck dive and somehow moves forward like 10 feet where most people get sucked back a few lol. Ridiculous athleticism.

    • @smelltheglove2038
      @smelltheglove2038 Рік тому +5

      You gotta let the boards buoyancy take you forward. It’s less about going deep and more about letting the board propel you forward.
