Watch: Nate Behl // Tube Hog
Not a pro surfer, not a free surfer, Nate Behl made a name for himself as a surf guide in the Mentawais. He'd make impromptu cameos in various edits simply by virtue of being on the biggest and heaviest sets. He may not have been the star, but you can't leave performances like that on the cutting room floor.
Though he calls Florida home, Nate has been on the road the last few years, bouncing between Indo and Hawaii. The result is a swag of great waves, about four minutes worth, all of it getting barrelled. Here it is, topped and tailed, with a fitting title to boot.
PS: I'm calling the wave at 0:38 arguably the heaviest Kandui wave I've seen.

excellent
Love seeing relatively underground guys like this... the standard of surfing to me is mindboggling, they're making Kandui look easy but you look closer they getting bounced, bucked, slowing down, speeding up, its overhead, he's backside, it just kees throwing for ever.... thrilled with my own modest surfing life but would also give my left nut to have reached that standard and know what that feels like - thanks all, great clip
12 second backhand barrel... fucking awesome!
yeah nah.
like the underground component - more of that please - but wtf is the go with the revamp on the worst of 80's US rock.
Geez, dunno about that, Stu.... I reckon the waves in the post from Craig in 2018 are in another league...

There's also mental footage of him at Rifles floating around.
NDC, I'm with you about how good it would be be, though I'd decline giving up a nugget for the privilege. I reckon the real question is how the fark those guys keep putting themselves in such hairy situations knowing what could happen.
That session with Ando on his 5ft something hypto kryto was also right up there for the heaviest waves i've seen at that joint
This ain't to bad either: https://vimeo.com/144071220#at=17

How's the spin and take-off at 1:45. Wow
