Christian’s younger brother, Nathan started out his career doing what used to be called ‘cross-over’, riding skateboards, snowboards and moto-x bikes with varying degrees of success before becoming known as the full-on wave riding hellman he is today. Noted for raucous tube performances at Teahupoo and Pipe, as well as big nasty drops at Maverick’s and the outer Reefs, Nathan also helped usher in the quad craze of recent years that has in some way influenced all top surfers in barreling waves today. More of an anti-hero than shiney all-American sports star, Nathan Fletcher doesn’t mind blowing a bit of cig smoke out of his skull in between tackling some of the beefiest swells in the universe.
