THANK YOU! for allowing the natural sound of the ocean to be heard, to hear the waves "cracking" as the came across the reef. So much nicer that the sound tracks most people play. I am a pro musician 45 years (plus first surfed 1973) and yet it's much more refreshing to hear the ocean than music.
That is some of the best surfing that I have seen you ever do!! I am so glad that you have recovered from the neck injury and are now crushing it on the waves!! Awesome stuff!!
Its one thing to create a popular RUclips channel, and entirely another to be pumping out one of your best videos ever, four years in! Love how you caught the translucence of the water when you were in the barrel, loved seeing Jack on a wave, amazing to watch Koa as always, and sickest edit of all time. Thanks!
I don't care how big the waves are at choopoo, it's always super sicc to watch! For me, best spot in the world. And this seems to be Koa's best spot to surf! I know it's highlights but I never see Koa surf so well like he does at this place. Freaking pumped watching this one...
The editing at 15 min. is as sick as the surfing! You do these guys and the audience here justice ! KR.. you are suchah cool person from being such a bad ass at the same time.. Big props brahdah ..always keeping it real.
BEAUTIFUL rides, gentlemen!!! Insane footage! It looks so peaceful there and the visibility through the barrel...wow. CRAZY energy in that last session!
Clip 9:37 is amazing. Rare glimpse listening to chopes from the channel without a single sound but the crashing wave and though surfer kicking out. I replayed that five times now visualizing me out there.
I really hope this place will stay like this for a while...cause i wanna see Tahiti like this one day...like Hawaii 100 years ago. Such a dreamy place and what a wave! Thx for this awesome video, filmed wirh top quality content, juwt amazing!
Watching you guys surf those waves along with Jack’s touch on the edit,I really don’t think you could of come up with better name for your channel koa awesome 😃🤙
Awesome place Koa. Perfect barrels and super clear water like looking through a window at the reef. Love It!!! Keep up the great vlogs brother!!! Enjoy the ride & vibes Tahitian Style!!!
Duuude!! Thanks for bringing us along for such an awesome trip! Great footage for the whole team and glad everyone remained in one piece and able to wait for the next trip.
Water Vis... is exceptional... must be trippy coming across the reef.... bruh glad you recovered... had the same surgery in 93 and it took forever to get my paddling strength back and the pop up even on both sides... made for some comical face plants in the beginning...
As well as the usual stuff, I'm loving: 1. Jack's wave 2. Those graphics - they are so reminiscent of Naish waveboards (windsurf, sorry!) in the 80s. Awesome.
Koa it’s was the best clip i have ever seen on your channel, it’s been such an incredible waves and so powerful Tahiti it’s definitely most amazing place in earth
Chopes is playing nice right now...but it can be the heaviest wave in the world too...what a legendary spot. Don't forget what a privilege it is to be there.
Loving your vlog. Don't sweat airs. They're insignificant compared to your barrel prowess. Loved your men's fitness mag cover pose in the barrel. Lmao. Keep it up.
Without seeing any of the comments, the first thing I was going to say was what an amazing job of capturing footage and editing. Obviously, though, many others are recognizing this talent as well! Really puts you in the trip. Oh, and the surfing? Completely next level.
Keep going broski. Views, subscribers, and success will ebb and flow but consistency (and a bit of luck) is the key to all success. Killer episode. The algorithm rarely promotes your content and I’ve been subscribed for a year or two. Keep grinding bud!
So sick I had t5 to t1o spinal fusion and I have been out of commission surfing for over 2years out of shape dude you inspired me to get off my ass and just figure out whatever I can do that will get me back in the water and thank you for allowing me to see it's very much possible!!! 1love yahmon yewww keep killing it!!
Jack, your videography / editing / music selection on this channel is incredible.
Fuck his filming, he was ripping 😂
Definite shout out to jack and other filmers
Jack gets better and better with every video! :)
Facts
And sick surfing too 🔥 That barrel 😱
One of my favourite episodes. The edit, the barrels and the actual quality of waves. Epic!
Surfing is a contact sport. Risk and Reward. No matter your level. Thanks to the best for sharing.

Agreed. Great vid and surfing.
Koa at his best!!!

Koa has the skill for this epic surf. He has the courage, the equipment, but most of all he has the desire.
Brah you looked so comfortable and dialed in to those waves. It was a joy to watch. What a difference a year can make in our lives.
the music at 12:37 🔥🔥🔥 the music selection is always one of my favorite things about your videos🤙🏼
Surfing part with raw sound is absolutly incredible. Koa we need more raw clips like this. This is music
I loved Jack’s wave! 🌊 Also the raw edits in the channel before the main edit 👌🏼
This place and this video with this group of guys is such a vibe.🌊
This is livin is right! What a life. It’s so beautiful and you surf so awesome.
I don't care how big the waves are at choopoo, it's always super sicc to watch! For me, best spot in the world. And this seems to be Koa's best spot to surf! I know it's highlights but I never see Koa surf so well like he does at this place. Freaking pumped watching this one...
Like we say in french : "Quelle vie!" thank you to share us these beautiful moments Koa.

Clip 9:37 is amazing. Rare glimpse listening to chopes from the channel without a single sound but the crashing wave and though surfer kicking out. I replayed that five times now visualizing me out there.
The fact you can only hear the waves and the calls and no motor sounds make the latter half epic! Great barrels, some empty even! Excellent vlog!
I really hope this place will stay like this for a while...cause i wanna see Tahiti like this one day...like Hawaii 100 years ago. Such a dreamy place and what a wave!

Yeah, Jack! Super sick one! And that edit. So many good shots. That 80's spray job on that wave.
Absolutely gorgeous………..looking good koa……surfing has improved so much since your surgery……keep it up enjoy watching you grow…….
Loving your vlog. Don't sweat airs. They're insignificant compared to your barrel prowess. Loved your men's fitness mag cover pose in the barrel. Lmao. Keep it up.
the edits on this video are insane, loved it.
I get the impression the local smoke is very nice. also at 12:40 that is ridiculous, looks like a wave in a cartoon or video game it's that perfect.
Without seeing any of the comments, the first thing I was going to say was what an amazing job of capturing footage and editing. Obviously, though, many others are recognizing this talent as well! Really puts you in the trip. Oh, and the surfing? Completely next level.
i loved this more than most videos. the music was dope, the boys were frothin. lfg!!!

I never forget how powerful those small swells can be. Treat them like big waves with less water.
Incredible footage great show 👏. and like the Getto Boys song says,,,, my mind is playing trix on me...or on Koa
Cool that you recognise the ambience bro, looks like a really special slowed down place to be
Surfing Teahupoo, filming Teahupoo, editing Teahupoo…
Jack killing it in all modalities!
Always awesome to watch Yeah Koa🤘
Thats just awesome! I love watching this!
At around the 8 min. mark, this is some great footage. Quality times. (edit) Sad there was no next day, but that was epic!
