@@IRHankNewton I don't doubt you at all but it appears that is takes professional-grade abilities, if not UFO-grade abilities, to survive a barrel going 30mph.
Just put 5K in a savings account over time and then wait for a swell. There are plenty of short versions of this wave around the world that can give you a taste for is you could even make the take off.
Thanks Koa! That was so amazing to get that perspective in such a long wave. Your teeth must have been killing you filming all that. But it is greatly appreciated. Amazing and sharkey looking too LOL
So epic Koa! Love the breakdown of the barrel, the spot, the area and the whole trip in general! Obviously I've seen this wave before, I mean yeah, it really was the wave that made you and changed your life forever! It's like you were born to ride that wave. No wonder you try to get back there as often as possible. I'd love to ride it or at least see it breaking one day. Alas I'll have to live it through your eyes and vlogs. Appreciate the amazing content from a currently locked down New Zealand. Keeping me at least remotely sane during this tough time where we're not allowed to even leave the house, let alone surf. As someone who generally rides waves of about 50-60m long and considers a 100m wave to be pretty long, I can only imagine riding one of these never ending tunnels of love for minutes at a time!! Keep living life to the full and charging epic pits. Look forward to the next vlog always. Yeww!
I just spent over $100 to get a sunrise shack shirt and bullet coffee pack sent to me here in Australia because our dollar rate is so bad due to covid. I don't even care though I love every single video so much and am learning better ways to live my own life from everything the smith brothers take us through and teach me.
Mind blown! That was awesome!!!!!! When I am dreaming I’m in the barrel like that. The first wave and its like you say “”best barrel of your life and was your first wave., wow..
I remember seeing it on Surfline or WSL from the outside of the barrel. It blew my mind. Friends posted it on FB too. This is how I 1st heard your name in the surfing world
Love it! You should do more videos like this 🤙🏼 I dream of having a life like yours one day! And it’s cool to learn and hear about the behind the scenes details!
was casually browsing google earth and slowly panning down the coast of namibia when I spotted these incredible waves breaking in the middle of nowhere. what out a doubt the best wave I've ever seen anyone ride.
thx for the stoke - haha - those wild mind blown eagle shrieks of excitement made me feel a bit of that stoke. - my longest barrel ever was maybe 2 seconds,...... but I believe I let out a scream kind of like yours
man , I am so glad to see this . I have been many places but Namibia's Skeleton Coast is one I may never get to experience personally. Vicariously visiting thru your video at least let's me sense a small % of the stoke that a sesh there would consist of. I bet you slept like one of those baby seals after such life altering steeze. thnx for sharing this , bro ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏄🌊🤙🏻🔥
@@calebmarais1874 South Africa is made up of countries such a Namibia. It’s general. Koa smith saying it’s located in South Africa is general! And is correct!
Thank you for sharing a being so positive,,..Really enjoy watching your videos. O live in Sydney Australia..Hawaii looks fantastic.. I really want to visit after covid19 is sorted and safe to travel. Your parents are awesome and brought you up really well...
I have recorded in Mundaka a 15 seconds barrels in the best days, which is many, many time, but 26 seconds is absolutly amazing, probably there is no wave in the world like this.
Koa, this video was so great! Mind doing one on how you got a concussion? I remember in another video you mentioned you had one, and how you work on brain health a ton after it- I had one last year and was wondering what you did during recovery and after to take good care of brain health. Cheers from Canada, Suzana
@@jocelyn9421 Hello; thanks for the reply! Its been a tough year, although i am feeling much better than I did this time last year haha have you had one too?
@@suzysnowboards Yes! It’s been over two years now, but the first six months were awful. In a way it’s been a blessing, as I have a whole new appreciation for my brain & implemented healthy habits to try to take the best care of it. I think our brains are more fragile than most realize! I’m so glad you’re feeling better!
@@jocelyn9421 So sorry to hear that!! One HUNDRED percent, most of the reason my life shifted so much during and after it was because I was forced to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Sitting there for hours in a dark room makes you really get to know yourself doesn't it? Definitely got me into better practices, less burning out and more meditation/yoga in combination with my daily activities. SV
Late to the party, But this why I subscribed to Smiths, You guys doing epic vids, & Koa, Love your honesty, the scream just underlines the willingness to share his emotion with us, Tru Blu, No wonder everyone loves you, the genuine article, 👍😊
Wow!! Surreal...it looked just like a video-game!! I remember the first GoPro...an instamatic-camera strapped to the wrist! If ya didn't have it on video all da bruddahs be thinkin' you just talkin'-story brah!! Thank you so much for sharing....but, now we're all scarred for life! Never gonna top dat!! It must've been spooky for Travis sponggin' around in da heavy-fog!! LMFAO!!
So heavy. There’s just those legendary waves, like Mavs and SB, that just have the absolute eeriest vibes imo. When I think of South Africa, and massive colonies of seals, the first thing that comes to mind is White Pointers 🤦♂️ Throw in all that fog, and that water clarity for added eeriness lol
Unreal footage! Such a rad video Bru thanks for sharing this experience with us🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 I wanted to ask you what you think about this wave possibly disappearing? With the sand moving westward.
Love youre vids,,,,Love the Smith brothers story,,,[ im originally from from Ewa Beach,,,,"Shark Country Boys,",, now living in Michigan,,,last 18 years,,,[not one but batu,,,,its a common story,,,was loooking foward to a Derek HO ,,,vid or commentary from you guys,,,,,may be soon,,,?

Easily one of the very best waves ever ridden by anyone, ever.
Outstanding film work told by both a talented surfer and narrator, highly enjoyable, thanks.
This is one of the top three surfing videos I’ve ever seen
Best surfing brothers channel ever, thanks Koa ,Alex and Travis.
What I expected this whole video to be was "Okay so I'm in the barrel, yup still in there. It just keeps going. Yup still getting barreled"
You be like eating dinner, checking your watch, signing autographs, taking selfies in that wave 🌊
I would take out a 100k loan and pay it off for the rest of my life to be able to insert myself in this barrel just one time. No joke
I concur. never seen anything like it.
@@IRHankNewton I don't doubt you at all but it appears that is takes professional-grade abilities, if not UFO-grade abilities, to survive a barrel going 30mph.
Tony Austin the 100k will buy em all of that
Same bro
Just put 5K in a savings account over time and then wait for a swell. There are plenty of short versions of this wave around the world that can give you a taste for is you could even make the take off.
When any of the bro’s are either breaking stuff down or reviewing it you know it’s gonna be a great video
Yay! Namibia is our home. Glad you enjoyed it! You literally were in the middle of nowhere! Let us know when you visit again :-)
Those skeleton bay waves were the best waves I ever saw. Never see anything like that in New Jersey. 30 second barrels - UNREAL!!! Great Job Koa!!!
Thanks Koa! That was so amazing to get that perspective in such a long wave. Your teeth must have been killing you filming all that. But it is greatly appreciated. Amazing and sharkey looking too LOL
That barrel you were talking about in the Dorian interview... What a beaut!!!! 🌊💙
Skeleton Bay = Namibia 🇳🇦
Excellent footage, narration, editing, but most importantly great story telling. Easily one of the best surf travelogue channels on RUclips.
Inspiration overload! Can’t wait to bodysurf that wave with a Taco Bell tray. I think i can make it...

The amount of energy and happiness that this channel give me! Thank you!! 🤙🏻
Never stops blowing my mind, seeing SB tubes. POV tubes here, look like a sequence out of a dream.

That must have been a wild new layer of energy: 30 minute walk back, in thick fog bank and jackals following
Wow what a amazing story.. thanks for sharing...
Epic Barrel Riding~! Love it~!
Mind blown! That was awesome!!!!!! When I am dreaming I’m in the barrel like that. The first wave and its like you say “”best barrel of your life and was your first wave., wow..
Good surf. Good footy. Good times. Loved how you screamed down the line. Aloha
That was an incredible clip in that barrel! Thank you!
Epic dude...that's one crazy barrel. Thanks for your videos.
this is amazing brothers keep it up and shine on!
I remember seeing it on Surfline or WSL from the outside of the barrel. It blew my mind. Friends posted it on FB too. This is how I 1st heard your name in the surfing world
Optimus Prime Vocoder effect going on with the audio 🤙🏽
Mahalo Koa, thanks for sharing!
I feel like I’m riding the wave
with you. So glad you claimed it.
BULA!!! Aloha!!! 💦🤙🏽💃🏻
Be safe. Be well.
Love it! You should do more videos like this 🤙🏼 I dream of having a life like yours one day! And it’s cool to learn and hear about the behind the scenes details!
what a barrel rider,just when you think he's stuffed with no hope he plows right through...insane!!

Bru! It’s Namibia 🇳🇦 not South Africa 🇿🇦🤣
Shhhh!!!
When Koa wings it ......and doesn't do the story board ....f it its skeleton ☠ bay ! #sunrisecoffee #kona #konacoffee
Namibia is a country in South Africa. Bru look it up.
@@calebmarais1874 your point is?
@@calebmarais1874 South Africa is made up of countries such a Namibia. It’s general. Koa smith saying it’s located in South Africa is general! And is correct!
I've watched that clip so many times. Very cool to hear your thoughts. Between this and pipe I feel your barrel riding is legendary
Doing recaps like this is awesome! Esp from good storytellers like koa
So sick
I'm still new to this channel but not really a surfer but man love the video you post here. Keep on going man. This is amazing!
stoked x

That was a mental video! How gnarly are the wipeouts? Haha. And how heavy are those waves!?

Awesome video. What a gem that wave is!

Too crowed with pink pelicans & seals 😂 … I declared surfing too crowded in 1971 😂
These Haoles is nutz. 🤙🏽💯 For surf in cold, murky water surrounded by seals. Brah, I surprised they never see one great white.
