The best part about Koa Smith videos - the endless stoke when he seas a good wave. A good reminder to always enjoy every moment to the fullest!!! Keep shredding 😊
It's nice to hear him, a pro, say "butterflies". 6'-8' waves are quite manageable. But.... Once it hits 10'.... It's a completely different game. A 10' wave is moving twice as much water as an 8' wave. I used to get freaked out on surf 10' and up. But.... I always thought it was just me. I thought that everyone else in the water was perfectly comfortable in 10'-12' Sunset lobbing 2' thick lips. Rocky Point at any size is fun. Sunset or Lanikai at 10' was always SCARY.... for me. Aug '87 - Jul '91 living on Oahu was the best four years of my life..... Nice clip Koa. Thanks for making me feel better about my butterflies.
Wicked vid like usual Koa. Love the energy, the gratitude and the unadulterated joy 😊 But what gets me most is your honesty and emotional intelligence 🙌🔥🤙
Always waiting for new videos! You are amazing Koa and the way you inspire people, insane🤙🏼 I hope I can meet you someday❤️ As always, much love from Costa Rica brodaa🇨🇷🇨🇷
DUDE!! You said u had butterflies in your heart paddling out there...u still surely make it look easy!!!...Do u feel bummed sometimes when u dont catch every wave u see??..kinda like...omgosh...do I get this one that one...awe shucks???..or r u just so focused on one? was gonna ask how do YOU NOT HIT someone???😬....OMGOODNESS so many right there!!! GREAT DRIVING!! LOL😂🤣😂..🙌❤🤗
Great surfing and vibe always... But not sure about that board design. Very short, but also very thick which to me means less responsive and less speed-drive. I like Koa on the boards he rode at Skeleton Bay which definitely worked in the barrel, yes? I'd also like to see him explore Clay Marzo's, or Taj's board dims... Not saying this critically, just an outside response to what I see, and we all see uniquely.
Just broke up with my girl last night . But somehow your videos keep me as ease this evening. That & knowing ima be hitting some waves 🌊 soon after this hurricane passes! Thanks for uploading dude 🤙🏻 much love from South California
I was there in 2005. I sat this one out, as I did not want to end up on the surgeon table. That is such a heavy wave. Glad you scored. We did score TELESCOPES 8-12 FEET
“Try to be present” …while talking into the go pro… mate you rip, but you make me miss the days of the underground indo charger… unsung, un photographed, living off coconuts and malaria meds… in the infamous words of Gonad Man: “free to ride waves without fear of financial reward”.
life is a constant fight with oneself you remind me of me lol got the skill but still tht little of doubt but it all goes away once your out there an get one on the head an your like wooohoooooo
I was stuck on the inside and all the water drained off the reef. The dude next to me was perched on the reef, wrecking his board. I was between two fingers of reef that went dry, but still floating on water. Totally sketched out, I paddled to the boat in the channel and had a Bintang. No màs!
And man was spot that beautiful... I've seen some pretty easy waves there when it really turns on and gets perfect. What would you rate it as compared to sessions you've seen on video? You planned not to grab. What happened there? I can't imagine you or anyone - even the world's biggest wave snob would complain about a day at Lance's. Are there Shallow Hal surfers out there? I know there's the opposite como Ben Gravy who get stoked on garbage. You got your priorities straight and you send it!!!
Hey Koa, what are the dimensions of this magic board? This is the same as in G-Land right? Dude I was at G-land one week before that swell! Missed it! I am actually glad 😂 there are some bomb sets is this video
I once saw a friend get a split lip, and a broken tooth, because he ate shit on an overhead wave, and the pendant on his necklace smacked his mouth. That's why I don't wear pendants when I surf. Just thought I'd say that in case the thought never crossed your mind.
Well we could do without the loud Americans and the section is easy enough to slot into. Nevertheless good surfing from Koa, although why it's only showing him who knows.
Dear God one day hopefully very soon I am packing it all up buying a boat parking at sumbitch somewhere down there Indonesia Fiji Bali the mentawai islands South America wherever. I always say this to everyone. I honestly truly believe you guys have the best job on the planet. Now I'd put golfers maybe second on that list and then my job which was special forces third. The reason why surfing and golfing is one and two is because y'all get to go to the most beautiful places on the planet. You get to interact with the local flavor and the ocean and again you go to the most unbelievably beautiful places on this planet. Golfers get to do kind of the same in that they always go to really nice country clubs and s***. With special forces being third that's because we get to do the coolest s*** on the planet fly around on cool helicopters and jump out of planes and shoot the coolest new weapons and then you get to work with the greatest dudes on the planet. but the huge downside to that is they send you🎉 to the shittiest places on Earth and the local flavor there all want to kill you.

Your energy and stoke is exactly how I imagine myself being at Lance's! My all time dreamy #1 bucket list wave. 🙌
Great wave, got the chance to surf it 25 years ago...hasn't changed, still looks magical, thanks for sharing.

You remind me of Jamie O Brian. Similar kind of excited guy.😅
Koa you are a huge ijspiration
Inspiration!
saludos a Dimitriiii!!!
Rad! one of the sketchiest places I have ever surfed...
I was stuck on the inside and all the water drained off the reef. The dude next to me was perched on the reef, wrecking his board. I was between two fingers of reef that went dry, but still floating on water.
Totally sketched out, I paddled to the boat in the channel and had a Bintang. No màs!
Unbelievable the water it’s blue
Koe thankyou..hope to meet u in thezsurf one day ..this life or the next
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Dream wave
High quality backside tube riding... Awesome technique.
What size board were you riding?
I’m riding a 6’0 Albumsurf
And man was spot that beautiful... I've seen some pretty easy waves there when it really turns on and gets perfect. What would you rate it as compared to sessions you've seen on video?

So HTs is a once in a lifetime if you get glass
that foamball take off remind anyone of bruce irons in an old tayler steele vid?
Was that an asym…
Nice chemtrails behind you Koa, what and who is spraying EARTH????
This is my village bro.. my home behind the HT's resort..
Love your home 😍😍😍😍
Sick (1)
Amazing, how fast are you going?!
Choice bro! Is that the big Kahuna board, a 7.0 Paddilac?
Where is this break?
Pretty big.
Anyone know who makes the helmet he wears?
If he says it's big trust me it's huge.
I once saw a friend get a split lip, and a broken tooth, because he ate shit on an overhead wave, and the pendant on his necklace smacked his mouth. That's why I don't wear pendants when I surf. Just thought I'd say that in case the thought never crossed your mind.
aloha...where can I get one of those skull protectors caps?
HHT , heavy ht ..
breaks like vland
That is a SIK freeze frame in front of your video.
There aint no double up, like a HT double up.
First
Well we could do without the loud Americans and the section is easy enough to slot into. Nevertheless good surfing from Koa, although why it's only showing him who knows.
Yo, do you need someone to film you?
rad - 3-4’ go pro size
