The Fruits Of Nathan Florence’s 32-Mile (52 Km) Skeleton Bay Tube-Athalon

Surely being called “so cute” by Mahina Florence puts a pep in your step.

Cute and astute. 

Nathan Florence has soared past brother John’s YouTube subscriber base in recent months. 372,000 people are getting pings in their pockets when he drops a vid. He’s now closing the gap between himself and the pioneer of the YT surf vlog, JOB, still well out in front with 902K subs. Some surf media horsepower between the two.

Yes, they were both there.

Also annoying cos’ our HSGP S1 graphic needs an update. 

Nathan clocked 7 hrs and 39 minutes, and 32 miles (51 km) on the odometer at Skeleton Bay yesterday… hosing down what even the peskiest snot-nosed grom registers at the Superbank on a cyclone swell. 

Praise his calf muscles next time you see him. 

Kindly, he’s cut it down for us to 26 minutes. Which means for every minute you spend watching this, he spent 2 kilometres short of breath. 

Kilometres/minute of content shall now be the ultimate yardstick with which to measure the heft of Skeleton Bay vids.
