    Thanks for the content and inspiration. Yourself, Nate Florence and JOB have inspired me to start surfing again, in Scotland, at 39 y/o after moving from Cape Town in 2005. Surfed for the first time in 20 plus years on Monday and I'll be back in the water on Friday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Bought some Quicksilver merch because I wanted to support the brands that support you.)

      @@FinFriel wherever I can. 🤣 Local breaks are St. Andrews and Lunan bay as I'm between them. Looking to head up to Thurso, Aberdeen and down the South East coast once I'm happy with my pop-up. Surfed a 9ft board twice this week without any bother. The surf was to weak for my 6ft4 short board unfortunately. Might be in Dunbar next week for a surf instructer course but I'll definately be out in the water again tomorrow at St. Andrews cause I got some business there so why jump in the water after....

    Koa, been watching you for, well since the beginning.I just got my T5-T6 & T6-T7 herniated slipped disc in my neck replaced by Dr. Shiflett at Disc Surgery Center thanks to your video. it’s going to change my life! The surgery was last Tuesday, so I’m just sitting on the couch watching you rip🤙🏻

    You’re at Julia and Dylan’s resort! Wow 😮
    I ❤ Julia Mancuso! She is my favorite female ski racer EVER! We saw her at the Olympics in Torino and she waved to me in the stands, then she won GOLD, then afterward we bought champagne for everyone in the little bar in Sestriere to toast her, then the bar owner bought even more because he was SO happy she won too! It was awesome.
    Please surf with her… she’s so good! And have her teach you that foil thing or the wing thing too - I’d love to see that! Lol😂

    I have to go and visit again and go to Tavarua this time. Thank you for not playing music while you were surfing, it's nice to hear your board hitting the water and the sound when you do your turns. I am stoked you had a lot of fun. Bula Vinaka

    Bula to Fiji 🇫🇯 I was in Fiji 2016 and it was one of the best adventures of my life. I stayed mostly in the North, Tavua, but visited Nadi, Suva and a remote village in the countryside, which lives still up today without electricity. I spent 1,5 month in Fiji, volunteering in a primary school, one of a lifetime experience I will forever be grateful for. Can't await to visit Fiji again.
