Nate Florence Goes From Baby Giraffe To Fully-Realized Simba In ‘Risk And Reward’

Nathan Florence’s legend is growing by the day. 

Surfing-wise, he’s gone from baby giraffe to fully-realized Simba, soon to be king of the North Shore jungle. 

Personality-wise, well, Nate probably hasn’t changed all that much to be honest, but his willingness to share his personal brand of thoughtful tomfoolery on Instagram and Youtube has made his likability sky-rocket. 

For these reasons, over the past two years, it could be argued that Nate’s been the most culturally relevant Florence bro, with silky smooth Ivan quietly creeping his way past an oft-injured, ever-isolated John for the second spot. 

Fascinating how the world works. 

In the 11-minute thriller above, titled ‘Risk and Reward’, we see the triumphs and travails of all three Florence boys, plus Billy Kemper, Koa Rothman, Jamie O’Brien and more during this Hawaiian winter. 

It’s the highlight package to rule them all. Click play.
