    That was absolutely insane dude! Thank you for the POV of big Cloudbreak! Didn’t mind at all your face, the talking, and the cleanup sets. On the contrary, I could watch the entire uncut, unedited entire session of your POV session! Keep ‘em coming! Not only do they show how challenging and potentially deadly these big swells are, but highlights how dedicated and committed a surfer has to be to excel in those heavy conditions.

Love my 7'6 because doesn't even begin to feel big until it's double over head. You younger pros are loco for riding such short boards out there. Mucho respecto amigo

      @@itskoasmith OF Course duuuudddee!!!! Your channel and your crew and your content is inspirational and it's legit and it's authentic and it comes from a place of quality and caring about what you put out and passing the Good Vibes on....
      You inspire me with your entrepreneurship with your Sunrise Shack and your surf lifestyle. I know I can do the same things for myself by watching you and your boys.
      You just make good videos!!! You help us dial in our perspective and our mindset with your positivity and gracious and thoughtful actions and you takes us to dope locations with you by video shaaarinnnggg...
      Back in the day before this internet thing we didn't have access to see all this cool content and now we get a front-row seat because of the internet and videos and RUclips... """I'm all in!!!""""
      Surfing is probably one of the only Sports and if not only the best example of a sport that has a lifestyle to it whether you're just into the beach aspect or if you're into the water sport aspect or both. Other sports don't have that... Most definitely not traditional Sports anywaaayyys!!!!
      It would be nice though if we can see you guys faces when you're in the barrel and on the waves or super close up shot so we could see the intensity and focus and facial expressions which makes surfing more awesome and fun to watch if possible....
      Happy surfing from VB/VIRGINIA BEACH dude/broham/bromie(bro + homie-new word I made up just now), ( by way of SOCAL)

    Is the wetsuits for protection from the reef exclusively. Guessing the water and air temp to be warm. The Buell looks like it would save your body from the impact. Confirm as practicable.

      You are humble, Koa. I admire that.
      Koa Rothman also said that this day was a lot of wash throughs. And he had to catch the 1st or second smaller waves of a set.
      I like the POV video, but also would like to see you filmed by a photographer.
      Nathan Florence usually has a good balance in his videos. . .
      I am 70 and was surfing the North Shore in the 1970's.
