Jamie spoke to Nathan back in 2020, thanks to Surfline.
It would be easy to assume that most big-wave surfers have Nazaré-sized egos. And maybe, some very well do. One of the most revered, influential, and unassuming modern big-wave greats named, Nathan Fletcher, however, surely does not.
“Out there…you can’t really have your ego up,” says Nathan. “You have to lose your culture, all your history, everything that you bring to the table has to be left on the beach because you’re dealing with you, and the ocean…”
Preach.
From pretty much giving up surfing to snowboarding and riding dirt bikes during his teens, to changing the game at Teahupoo, Tahiti, to influencing generations of big-wave board design and safety protocols, the uncompromising Nate Fletcher blesses us with his wisdom in the newest episode of the Late Drop.
