The North Shore charger talks about the wave that made the cover of SURFER Vol. 59 #3
The photo above of Nathan Florence backdooring a green-lit cavern landed on Pg.1 of SURFER magazine’s newest issue. Staff photographer Ryan “Chachi” Craig captured it while on a hopeful strike mission to Panama with Florence, Billy Kemper and Eli Olson. While the colors and shape of the wave are enough to entrance anyone who picks up this glossy magazine, it’s Florence’s nonchalance in a particularly intense situation that makes the image pop. To celebrate his (second) cover-landing, we caught up with Florence to hear more about this wave and what keeps him returning to the Panamanian coastline time and time again.
