Nathan Florence might be the most likable character in surfing. It’s evident in how people react to him—just watch how long it takes him to get up the beach after his heat. During the recent Rip Curl Cup at Padang Padang, Nathan was enjoying every second of it. Not only were the waves all-time, but somehow, someway, he scored a dream session alone in the lineup during a break in the event. Firing Padang Padang with no one around? We’d take that.
