You know , this is one of the best pics Ive ever seen on MSW. This is why we surf, so few will ever get to experience this, I just hope that I will be one of the lucky ones. Best keep at then!

Who are the two nutjobs that gave this photo a 1 rating? What is wrong with you? What does a five look like to you? Seriously?!

Jesus turned water into wine. Billabong turned gray skies to blue, and dark green into emerald. Beat that!

Easy, I just have to look at a wave like I’m about to start paddling and it turns into a closeout.

Nathan Fletcher is a true Beast. The unsung big surf animal. Doesn't get the publicity of many other surfers, but surely not for the lack of sac or talent. That's fk'n deeeeeeeep!
CaptainGoodVibes-SuperPig Nov 3, 2011 Rating: 0
Mate he`s gotta be, everytime i look at it. It`s proof Nathan`s much better than most. This is progress at its best.
elementdtlop Nov 1, 2011 Rating: 1
wouldve been the ultimate troll: photographers: what wave? we mustve missed it sorry man just take another one we'll get the picture this time
haglee Nov 1, 2011 Rating: 2
can't stop looking at this,it's the craziest picture i've seen on msw and he looks so chilled!

That`s the new millennium wave. Something else (xx kisses) for sure. mentallly slotted

Is there video to this? It looks like 10-tons of water are just about to sink him deep into the ocean.

The only thing heavier than that wave is Nathan Fletcher's ballbag.

The jaws of a pit pull with a rag doll, i just hope the pit bull had slippery teath this day...one heck of an amazing shot! Respect Fletcher!

I'll try and renact this moment in time by puting a lego man in the washing machine.

Holy sh*t - massive respect. I would chop a finger off to experience what he went through there, must be the biggest buzz ever
groundsweller Nov 1, 2011 Rating: -1
Oh reeeaaally! Perhaps a sharp coral reef will oblige you on a good hollow wave.

ONE DAY IN THE FAR OFF FUTURE. All atoms in the Universe will lose there charge and everything will turn to grey and disappear, slowly, surely. Nothing left. No-thing anymore

Ok lets be clear we may not understand everything, but it is no longer acceptable to use a god to explain it all. There is no god, never has been a god, never will be a god. Although the skill and bawz Nathan shows here are the closest to god like qualities I have seen. That and Pacha Mama ;-)

-donkey- if you think this surfer wasn't created by GOD, let me ask; who masterminded the whole world, the universe, the sea, the waves and your body? you don't have to look further than this picture to so the greatness of GOD.
Wet behind the ears Nov 4, 2011 Rating: -2
@catempire, if thats not athiestic what is????? If you don't have any belief in GOD, you should give up alltogether.
donkeydoctor Nov 3, 2011 Rating: 2
God created the rider and wave? His mum and dad created him and the wave was created by sea wind reef combo.
CatEmpire Nov 3, 2011 Rating: 3
Actually, lets not be narrow minded and consider the possibility that we live in a godless universe. Let us also consider why a god would want to create a race in his image, a race that is going to last a totally insignificant amount of time in the universe that was created solely for them. And also why would God decide to show his face just 2 millenia ago when the beings he created space and time for have been around for 50 millenia. And for that matter, why wait 13 billion years before bringing humans into existence. Now, don't take this for some atheistic rant, I'm not wholly against some type of 'god' being out there. Just certainly not the God that Christianity believes in. He's a big no no.
Steve Dillon Photo Nov 3, 2011 Rating: -10
As I said, God's already there. The rider has his skill only because of God. Let's not be narrow minded. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
Robbie Nov 3, 2011 Rating: 3
Bringing a supernatural being into it completely detracts from the riders skill and commitment to the wave. Respect to the rider.
shunyata Nov 3, 2011 Rating: 0
if we let go of thoughts then god would'nt exist in that moment...i bet this guy is not letting thoughts disturb his focus..."Kye" grace under pressure!

@CatEmpire.....next time you have a thought, just let it go

Because his the creator, HE made that Wave and Rider!!!! respect sick shot!

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin' me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers.
