Ever since I was a little boy, I've always wanted to surf places like Pipe, Waimea, Mavericks, Jaws, J Bay etc. Growing up on the East coast with the exception of hurricane season we were lucky to get chest high waves. But people don't understand that surfing is one of the most addictive things out there. As a former addict, and now 38 years old, I can tell you right now that the one thing that I cannot get out of my system is surfing. It is something that will consume your life, and I now live 8-10 hours from the beach. Every time I head towards the coast, I still take my board. Just in search of that feeling of being one with nature and finding that perfect wave and carving it into my masterpiece. Whether the line less for 20 seconds or a minute, there is no better feeling than dropping in to a wave. So many people will not understand what I'm talking about. This is an amazing video, you got a new sub here! Stay safe and keep up the phenomenal work!
Know that feeling man. So happy you made it out brother. It's no joke. There's almost like a spiritual experience behind it afterwards realizing what could of happened and a new way of looking at life.
This dude is actually funny hahaha, I laughed so hard when he described the big wave and at the same time it felt like a horror movie, loved watching this video and I'm glad he overcomed his fear!! keep it up!
It's nothing you have to change dude 😎 Just keep on being who You are don't change nothing at all keep on bringing your amazing energy that all 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm always wondering why surfers don't explain the experience like you do here, it's exactly what us wanna-be surfers crave, not just the highlight reel but what it's actually like to be at the next level with the highs and lows mixed in. Loved this video!
Over head height & then I get the boogie into shore, yeh it's Real, Full on Honesty, the Bros really brought it, & Ur spot on, they got the vibe on point, hang 10 😝
@@osobe2026 I'm gobsmacked by big wave surfing, right equipment, who cares, if I won't play in +6ft faces I'm Not getting feet wet if it's 30, 50, 70ft 😬🤯😲🇦🇺
@@johngarin8290 I remember one time when we went to the local river mouth that none of us had surfed, and bro, I swear there were thirty foot faces breaking on the outside reefs, it was INSANE
Super interesting episode! I found it really insightful. This type of surfing can be taken for granted but when you hear it being explained and talked about this way it shows the determination and adrenaline that is needed. Love how nurturing John John has been and can't wait to see Koa progress in pushing his limits.
That same episode happen to me here in Puerto Rico at a outer reef the horizon wasn’t there any more and i look at my buddy like oh shit were fucked!! We passed that set and decided we paddled back to shore,just being out there was incredible. Respect to all big wave surfers, part athlete part hells-man !!
Good work, I feel the butterflies getting up on him at first, hours, days of prep and it's reality time. Then once the mojo gets flowing it's wahoo! Give me more! Many sports present the challenge, be it standing at the edge of a bowl on skis after a big storm, or getting ready to drop into a mountain biking trail.
It's awesome how expressive and honest you are about the experience, and prepping the viewer about what is coming, what just happened, but getting to live it with you and cheer you on! Then waves of jealousy that it's YOU and not us... ha ha
That's a good motivational video! You explained what you felt honestly before trying big waves and how to overcome it. Also, your video is very easy to understand how to take off and see what the big waves went on. Thank you!!
Not sure how I got to this channel.................1st episode I've watched, and it's SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful perspective and commentating, I was right there with you
Playing safety to one of the world's best surfers, no pressure lol Cool he trusts his life with you, and vice-versa. I honestly don't get why surfers DONT wear helmets for the most part? Maybe when you do yr video about yr injury you could touch upon if it makes some kind of difference in velocity, or is it a style thing? I'm clearly not a surfer but your dynamic storytelling and surfcam are the closest I will come so thanks for that! And glad you had a blast and are safe n sound.
You inspire us to face our personal challenges in life . Your demonstration of taking a hard hit and getting up and moving forward is amazing especially as so many of us have challenges on the planet right now. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. It has nothing to do with surf but I have a rare medical condition, which affects movement. Today I went for a walk alone, with no help, it's usually difficult for me but I took the courage and managed to do it. I overcame my fear for a moment, although the pain I felt that incredible rush. I am so thankful for your words, you're an inspiration. Sorry for my English, I speak spanish
Definitely not seeing waves like that in Florida haha A lot of us use the artificial waves here or kiteboard but its completely different. My videos are 99% artificial waves lol
You guys are great and serious surfers... not to mention professionals!!! I admire you, you definitely provide inspiration. Please talk surf helmets, how is supposed to fit and any other advise you have. Thank you!!! Wishing you all Happy Holidays!!
Koa you are such a great storyteller bro. You guys have gone from "this is the best surf content on RUclips" to "I would rather watch your new episode over any show on any platform." Straight up riveting. Thank you!
@@itskoasmith with pleasure ! it was such a nice surprise to start watching this episode and suddenly hear my own track. Love watching your channel, keep it up and don't hesitate to use more of my music haha 🙏😉
I had the horizon go black one time too down in Nica, got so smoked, biggest wave I've ever seen coming at me. Prob what you guys would call 3ft Hawaiian hahaha but this vid brought back the feelings of being helpless and then the adrenaline dump of making it. Great vid Koa and Bros. 👊👊👊 keep this shit up!
That 1st, Do I, Don't I, oh shite moment is universal, for grooms in 6 ft, to old wobblers on 7ft. Hey Respect all the guys Riding Big, it take big prep, big lungs & big . . .well, mine ain't enough
@@johngarin8290 yeh man it's all proportional depending on our skill level and health but we have all pushed ourselves over the edge and pulled off with the biggest smile on earth
Yup, I'm 65 south coast weekend warrior that regularly experienced that but wouldn't try bombs over 8ft, I'm hooked on big wave surf , Nazare & Famous shore/ reef breaks + crazy ocean monsters, The Right WAu, a monster 1 off Tasmania have me hooked but even after 20years pick wrong waves, with usual outcome 🙄 but survivings a great feeling too 😁

I heard John John was injured and is taking some time off recovering. So, Okay, this is what he do during the recovery. Does his doctor know about this ?
Ahhhh so good i want rn ahhh amazing waves gotta keep myself over I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background.

“Smaller waves”
Bro I would shit myself to death if I was faced with a wave of that magnitude

Incredible video! I loved the insight on catching big waves
This describes exactly how I feel...when I'm out in head high surf.

hahaha
It’s a tsunami
😂
I love you guys! You’ve helped a lot of people to be entertained during this lockdown, your videos are awesome!
That makes us so stoked to hear! Thank you Sarah :)
Imagine still being in lockdown 😂
His expressions when he’s telling how he’s in the inside with that monster wave coming was priceless!

Just heard the best advice when you see a big set coming. Stay calmed cause if you get caught inside your heart rate will be up.
I figured that would be obvious for a hundred percent of the people who were ever in that situation but I guess not
I appreciate the humility Koa. It's good to see. That's heavy stuff! Testing your boundaries, but with respect, as it should be
Wise words, the kid has great style, top shelf compilation 😊
This video is absolutely sick. You have a lot of people dreaming about having a day like that right now my friend 🍾🤙
thank you!
Now this is cool video so different..good job boys
Too tight man, They put blasting vid together for us, Thanks guys

Working on it!!!
that Nias hold down is rough, even on like a 5-6 foot day it was 2 waves on the bottom for me, cant imagine when it is fully hissing
The 'mother of all waves' surfed by King Koa of Oahu, love It!!!
Yeah Andy!
So much Royalty,. Can we guess on who is joker, 🤙 🃏 😊
