The thrill of exploration can rival any wave. And when the spirit of adventure happens to get you barreled in the process \u2013 that\u2019s when surfing is its best. Nathan Florence got to experience both on a recent trip to the Philippines, as he recounted on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the latest stop on an Asian adventure for the itinerant barrel-hound. Previously, he was humbled by a remote slab<\/a> in an undisclosed location. This time, though, he went for more of a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n

Heard about a potentially fun left a short boat ride away and off we went to check it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he arrived, he found a bevy of locals getting absolutely barreled in the shelter of a picturesque rock outcropping. With wife Mahina in tow, he paddled out and scored.
