Good Gawd, Take A Look At Nate McNasty’s July Kandui Stay

Massive bright blue freighters from Kandui Lefts to Bank Vaults!

It’s always a good day, waking up to an email from gentleman filmer Justis St. John. 

Without fail, the contents of these dispatches, often sent from the comfortable digs of Kandui Villas, are terrific cuts from various underground rippers strikes to the Indonesian haven for those who enjoy big, blue barrels over very shallow reefs. 

We’ll let Justis intro the clip above, of Nate McNasty, aka Nate Behl:

Finally having the chance to pull me head up from July, so much swell and material from all over.  I threw together this short edit of Nate Behl from the last swell that lined up better for Kandui.  All the Kandui Left was shot on one day and the bank vaults was shot from the first swell.  Pretty crazy to see Kandui that big and warbled out.  That whole run of swell was on the verge of being too big with waves breaking all over, sets cleaning up the lineup at Kandui (which never happens) and a lot of waves just too big to properly barrel (just border line out of control)… He’s sitting on a huge amount of footage from this year (Tahiti, Namibia, Barbados, Indo, etc) and he’s looking to put something out there in Sept as well.

Scroll south for a few frames from Nate’s July hammer fest.
