Professor Nathan Florence Teaches a Class on the Art of Ejecting in a Closeout Barrel

Nathan Florence has been inside of his fair share of closeouts. Here, he teaches you how to make them a little less dangerous.

You know that old saying “those who can’t do, teach”? It’s a dumb saying. Ideally, of course, you’ll have a teacher who can do what they’re teaching. You know who can do what they’re teaching? Nathan Florence. In the latest installment to his vlog, Nathan deconstructs the art of pushing the eject button in a closeout tube.

It’s an important lesson, because as anyone who attempts to get barreled knows, for the average surfer, closeouts are more common than wide-open, spitting tubes. The saving grace, of course, is that closeout barrels are really, really fun. Knowing how to fall will make them even more fun.
