Nate Tyler

Nate Tyler is a central coast surfer who has carved himself a nice niche in the surfing world. He has made surfing his career, but you won't find the goofy footer on many heat sheets. Instead Nate will grace the glossy pages of surf publications month after month. Although his hometown is renowned for its isolation, Nate's travel list is as impressive as his forehand punts. Nate's the guy a sponsor can count on to be ready to bail to some distant locale at the drop of a hat and still comes home with a bundle of sweet pics for photo editors to drool over. Expect to see more shots of Nate from places you've never even heard of, let alone knew had waves.
