Only Fans star Nathan Florence shucks “Jan Brady” middle sibling curse to outshine US Olympian brother John John with wave of the year at wild Sumatran reef, “Dream come true to score a wave like this!”

"Score of a lifetime!"

The middle brother of the Florence triumvirate, which includes Olympian and two-time world champ John John and underground skate/surf star Ivan, has shucked he so-called Jan Brady curse to score wave of the year at a remote Sumatran reef.

Nathan Florence, who is twenty-eight and named after the son of the Hebrew King David, was surfing a joint called Lance’s Right in the Mentawai islands when this bulldozer shifted onto the reef.

Manipulating his little GoPro camera into his mouth, Florence, a man previously described as “extremely intelligent and extremely capable”, tip-toes over the precipice and makes the point that there’s more than one star in the Florence family.

“Score of a lifetime! What an insane few days of swell today topping it off as one for the books with waves like this! At times just Ivan and I in the lineup sharing bombs other times just a few new friends! Dream come true to score this wave like this!”

Response from big-hitters in the big-wave world was swift,

“Wow that was crazy,” says Koa Rothman.

Mark Healey, “Aysus”

Kai Lenny, “Crazy!!”

Damien Hobgood, “Insane!

A little humour from Shane Doz, “Looks pretty decent”.

And, from Nathan’s model wife Mahina, “It was even crazier in person.”
