Watch Nathan Florence Surf Remote European Wedge on Borrowed Board
The adventures of Nathan and Mahina Florence through Northern Europe continue.
In Florence's latest vlog, he links up with Craig Mclachlan, a Scottish surfer and British junior surfing champ to tackle more undisclosed slabs on his self-proclaimed Slab Tour.
The vlog has all the ingredients of a true surf trip–lost luggage, borrowed boards, remote waves, and a wife filming from the cliff. Nice work Nathan.
In the video above, Nathan and Mahina drive "hours up and down the coast looking for little waves," and eventually find some.
Nathan paddles out on a borrowed surfboard expertly navigating a precarious reef situation going in and out of the water.
He surfs, endures a few wipeouts, gets some barrels and some pretty awesome POV too.
On his Instagram post of a clip from the video, big wave hellman Shane Dorian said it best:
"You’re a slabrador retriever."
But viewers loved the full video and flooded it with comments. Some of them reveal just how much people love living vicariously through surfers. Check out the comment below:
"Hope you and your wife are enjoying Scotland again. You inspired me to start surfing again so I started earlier this summer here in bonny Scotland (after twenty years out the water).
"I grew up in Cape Town so I've always missed it but you along with JOB, Koa and Ben Gravy have inspired me to get back at it. Got my son into it as well and we're loving it. Keep up the great work and thanks for the inspiration.
If you ever come down St. Andrews way hit me up and I'll sort you guys out. All the best."
