Clever graphic on the new tees! 😂
IM GONNA BUY IT before it sells out becuase i love the content and how funny akward you make the vids love em and you;3
What days exactly were you there? I was in Kill Devil Hills the week of Sept23 and it was gnarly then too
thank you you surf #!
John b has been real quiet since the storm
You know he is not a real surfer .... right ?
Ben H13 that was the joke
Ben H13 🤦♂️
Ben H13🤦
Ben H13 🤦🏼♂️
Koa Rothman and Brett Bartley, two of the goofiest surfers out there......always put the right foot forward.
clever
Whoever's phone was playing "Antonio" - Designer Drugs remix at 4:48... well done haha.
Also the moment you said "what if we got a ton of fuel" I knew that scene immediately.
But dude I'm stoked you got to see it in action. That Wednesday was pretty out of control, bout as big as it gets and surf able... hopefully next time you can get a more "normal" big day with more opportunity. Oh ya, and bring some bigger boards next time ;) hahaha. Amped to have you and Jack along for the ride.
Your always the coolest host and I’m proud to call you NC’s ambassador! Gnarley Barley!!!!
Looks like you guys had an awesome week! Really enjoyed your surf sessions and you won the heat against Koa and still "own" that island bro! : )
So psyched for the collab and that Koa got to see it firing
*while trying to ride on short boards lol*
from a pilot's perspective it's pretty god damn annoying when you let whoever you're working with know the parameters of what you can do, and with zero experience or knowledge of aviation they start pulling what-if's out of their ass. That's when you tell them gern' get fucked
Koa, thank you for taking the time to come from Hawaii to bless our shores with your visit. The OBX is a special place to us and you got it on an unusually big swell. Bigger than most east coasters would dare to even tackle. Your kindness and compliments mean everything to us locals. Please come back and bring lots of friends. We need more Aloha. Thank you!
If only this kind of hospitality that we give worked the other way around when we go to hawaii hahaha
I've surfed in the outer banks three times I'm. Going again Monday I won't go in the water. If it's. Bigger than 8 feet I can't break. Shore break that big I've only surfed 12-15 days caught 3-4 waves I've boogie boarded ten feet a few times
Yes sir!!
Koa hits the obx, gets shacked, emerged stoked. Obx locals hook him Up with boats and 4wds. All good in the hood. Love my state.
Same, OBX is the best kinda funny when he was going to Wilmington
Many years ago, I began surfing the Jersey Shore...I made a lot of trips up & down the East Coast & I always really loved surfing The Outer Banks...then, I started taking a lot of surf trips to California...eventually, all of my vacation time was spent surfing in Hawai'i...so, I finally moved to The Big Island & I went back to school at University of Hawai'i at Hilo, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing many years ago...I married a beautiful Native Hawaiian Wahine...I live in San Diego now...it's so cool to see Koa traveling to all these different places & having so much fun...he is an incredibly gifted surfer & a really solid Ambassador for the Hawaiian people...Aloha, Bill
Where are the waves you’re talking about?
Yep
I live in Virginia Beach, and the fact that you are surfing the outer banks is tripping me out. So cool!
outer banks is in North Carolina brah not Virginia
The outer banks paradise on earth
this is the greatest video of all time seeing carolinas getting some love and proof of how difficult and good it really can be
Koa and squad thanks for being such amazing ambassadors....truly you guys just spread the Aloha spirit wherever you go..have watched all of your videos...and this was the best....an amazing job....from content to music selection....thank you all!!!
Thank you for the support! Its ben an amazing adventure!
This video of Koa surfing the outer banks is the perfect evidence to back up the saying "if you can surf the east coast, you can surf anywhere"
So cool to see a video from Koa on the East Coast.
FWIW: I think Koa said something to the effect of "people live here" regarding the ocean front houses that had over wash. For the most part, this isn't quite the case. Almost 100% of the oceanside houses in this area are weekly or nightly vacation rentals. When the forecast predicts a storm surge or super tide that causes flooding like this, they almost always have a mandatory evacuation for non-residents of the island. So most of these houses are completely empty when this happens. It isn't unheard of though for vacationers or residents to not heed the warnings, or the forecast be off, and some cars to get flooded though.
I work for ocean rescue out here, and I'll never forget the size of this swell and how gnarly it was... Stoked to watch you shred out here and experience OBX!!
Koa born & raised on Hawaii said "Rodanthe" like he lived on the Outer Banks his whole live, that was pretty impressive
i think he was being nice. There is no way shape or form that it comes close to anything in hawaii. Fun yes, but not that good.
@@cristobilllumberg2473 I remember when the Hawaii amateur team came to Texas for a big amateur contest in the 80's, and they were not able to paddle out. they were so used to channels they didnt have the stamina to make it out the back...
@@cristobilllumberg2473 this comment wasn't even talking about the surf lol
I've been going to the outer banks every year since I was born. Its cool to see someone who is actually looking to go surf these waves!
I’d love to surf there on the big days, only been there once coming from garden city sc, and the swell was 2x bigger then anticipated right after a ice storm and we couldn’t even make the paddle out. I’m currently trying to push myself to become a better surfer physically and mentally an paddling out on the big days I’m capable of just recently I finally made a paddle out on some 6-8ft faces with a close buddy at surf city NC, we were thinking about to taking another trip to the banks soon after we build some more confidence to comfortably take those beatings.
Stoked you got up with Brett and got a taste of it. One of my favorite places I ever been. Something really special about the OBX. Full MYSTIQUE
The OBX is no joke. Glad you came to visit. Born, raised, and spoiled here.
So ironic how these last 3 East Coast videos have been some of your most interesting. The adventure part of the videos and the waves made it epic. I’m hooked!
I’m honestly hyped you’re digging NC as much as you are like seriously. I never would have thought a big name Hawaiian like yourself would enjoy our breaks so much but it’s great. Hopefully you continue to enjoy it from here on out. Aloha my friend 🤙
I started watching the channel for the surfing but the traveling footage is so hilarious...Koa in the middle of who knows where with a paper map (do they still make those?!) and the sketchiest plan ever to get to the Outer Banks. As Koa asked in a recent Lower Trestles video: "What are surfers thinking?" Awesome! They're just chasing the waves!
Think the map was just a prop, not sure they knew how to read it. They did make it though
If entertaining seeing Koa outside his natural habitat of Hawaii.
Yeup. Sevs still uses paper cups. They make sum pretty good coffee too.
Been waiting for this since watching Brett's video !!
The real outer banks 🤩 and the last swell t shirts !! 🤩🤩❤️
Hitting the Light house after a big swell offshore winds light 😮could be EPIC barrels of fun❤
It only happens a couple times a year but the east coast can get sketchy! The peaks of the swells are almost always days where it’s set after set with absolutely no channel anywhere. What makes it even creepier than having big ass waves all over the place is that when it’s big like this you’re usually half a mile out and there’s sea creatures bigger than you all over the place lurking in the murky east coast water lol. Stoked the second day turned into a perfect EC day for ya, doesn’t get a whole lot better 🤙🏾
Epic footage, shows how difficult a beach break can be :D
Love the sense of adventure and winging it. The best trips are done just like that! Cool seeing you out there with Brett!
This was hella fun to watch! Could relate to so many things that happened, especially the feeling of goin into the water at a new spot at huge conditions with a semi good feeling about the situation haha
I'm from Holden Beach NC. 30 mins south of Wilmington NC. But as a grom OBX was a Destination every summer. An always loved going to the Eastern finals to surf an watch the east coast come in our state an totally rip. Pulled up on Gavin beschen an the volcom team at S turns. A memory I cherish an will never forget!!! Yeeew NC!!!!
Great video. You can watch surfing endlessly.
yeah but you have to wait 19 minutes for any actual surfing..
Sure you put this on RAW BEEFS too 😂
@@markwildphotography me? yeah he loves his intros too..haha ..
I swear you commented this on every surfing video, it’s true
Too true, decided to watch 8 mins of Von Froth riding Nazare, 3 hours later, lol
Jeanette fishing pier in Nags head was my daily surf spot since lived rt by 17 1/2 mile post. Before I got my lic and If couldn’t get a ride to either s turns before rodanthe or down to buxton/hatterasb/fisco I used to hitch hike with my board and few other non licensed friends to surf down there. So much fun had in obx. Still live their but now live on the island between nags head and mainland. Bad thing is I haven’t surfed or even been in the ocean for years now since got hurt and became paralyzed waist down, but watching surf videos always make me happy and jones for the good ole days. Not sure how didn’t see this video when it first came out but guess better late then never,
Thank God for "Last Swell!!" T-Shirts💯💯🔥🔥🔥🌊🌊🌊
Finally you posted this video, I have been holding off watching Bretts video just to watch yours first
haha
Brett Barley no offense I still watched yours😂
@@zephangilmore551 classic! hope you enjoy :)
I just sent to all my surf Bros that you were in NC, down the road from us. Bro your reaction to the mosquitoes and biscuits killed me. Hahaha Love you brotha, love the energy. Great video! Left this comment at 16:48 of vod. Now it’s time for the magic to happen, the surfing. Ayyyy
That was epic! Brett Barley was ripppppppping
OBX was Firing but NYC and NJ ignited durning Teddy! And East Coast is off the Scales this season. More to Come! My arms,shoulders and chest are on fire from all padding I've done in a month. Hawaii has Channels East coast makes your strong due to beating you take padding out.
Great episode! Says a lot about your spirit how you stayed positive koa so cool
Just saw your wave rating. Koa you’re the bomb. I started surfing in 1962. Surfed North Shore in 1968. Lived in what was called the jungle one of a few old houses above Waimea Bay. Herbie and John Fletcher lived across the driveway from us. Bob Stay, Wolf Man cut everyone’s hair. He could only cut hair one way. So everyone had the same hair cut. It was cool back then. Now I have no hair and that’s cool too. Regards and Blessings. HJ.
Your choice of Cajun LS music for an Eastern NC vid.. hilarious.
It is also a trip to see you at places Ive been to and have surfed at for almost 2 decades
living down here i love this. sums it up very nice. waves are intresting but road is closed
Grew up surfing the outer banks in the 80s and now living 30+ years on Maui. I've seen Hatteras so big it reminded me of pipeline. Very cool video, brought back all kinds of memories...oh those damn mosquitoes. What no horse flies? You got off easy bro. Lol
Cheers to that. That’s what I said in my comment. The horseflies were insane. I learn to surf in Hatteras in the early 90s, and I’m so grateful for those barrels. I live on Kauai now. I reckon the best place to go on the first day would’ve been the lighthouse. I miss s turns and Stopping at random places in crossings the Sea oats and gnarly cactus to get to an empty peak at sunrise
Green heads
Boo to the click bait the waves were not even close to being 40ft more like 8-12 ft . 👎
No idea where he got 40’ definitely click bait, if thats 40’ the 20’ faces i surfed in Costa Rica must have been 80’
8-12ft mainland style. Hawaiian style thats 6-8ft and honestly that's even being generous.
The night he got here, and the morning before we surfed... the waves out the back were 30-40ft easy. Buoys peaked that morning 16ft @ 18seconds, and 17ft @ 17sec if that helps you understand the size better. But by the time we surfed it was dying out to be ridable on the inside bars (buoys were 10-11ft at 15-16sec), and was down to 12-15ft with bigger sets. Cam Richards and Quentin Turko caught the 2 biggest waves, but they aren't featured in Koas edit. Those still didn't hold a candle size wise to the sets coming in... It kinda had died out and the sets over 15' had dissipated by the time we were all finally in the lineup after getting denied multiple times.
Point being... just cause the few waves in here weren't big, doesn't mean the waves in general weren't.
@@brettbarley if brett is signing off on it, i believe
The first wave he caught the second day was for sure at least 20 idk about the others
I'm glad you had a good time- Wilmington is my home! We used to get up really early back in college and drive to surf at outer banks all the time, great area and great waves!
Been going there since I was kid, love the outer banks!! Those waves r huge !! Never seen bigger personally than 15-20 ft and I tried my best and wound up on the lip and went down face first and I'm still scraping sand and seashells out my mouth 30 years later...
Those waves are not even 10ft where did u guys get 15 20 😳😳
I like how soft the shirt is. I was surprised it wasn't the rough, stiff cotton that most shirts are made of :)
The Outer Banks is my favorite place in plant earth. Thanks for the vid.
Surfings actually dope as hell to watch wow
That Nag’s Head location was Jennette’s Pier. Went there, bought the hat, saw this video. Got a major deja vu rush when you guys got there. Can’t wait to share this with my son. He’s chillin’ at UH in Honolulu, and he’ll love this OBX trip! (We’re from VA.)
That trips me out your actually using a map with our technology these days but mad respect for doing so. I think you could have taken a ferry right across to Hatteras and rented a car but I know you got all your gear. Great video!
the edit at the end is absolutely incredible! Perfect waves and melody
25:13
That last song by Rospigg "Poison" was lit as.
ty was lookin for this
40 enough. I’ll go with it lol. Love the music and storyline. Well done!
Koa grew up surfing these shores and for the East Coast it’s the best you’ll get during peak times! S turns are an amazing break. That pier was rebuilt fyi. You are in Nags Head at the first ocean spot. Man brings back memories
“The current as soon as I got out I just sucked me out to see, I was just gone”- how I feel at ocean beach sf some days.
Fr sometimes I just be sitting there and then it just feels like god himself is pulling me with a tether
Ugh giving me flashbacks to a trip we did up to OB last year... got humbled really quick lol
and ocean beach gets twice that size. (rideable)
Thank you for sharing a piece of the paradise we have here. Respect.
yeah, for real brah... first time i felt OBX riptide, can't believe how strong it was. crazy!
...and i used to go Sandys all the time in my hanabata dayz
Gnarly Barley is the man. Smooth AF.
Got to love your attitude and the surf first, worry about other sht after!!!, Keep on ripping and be safe G, Aloha and Mahalo bra
Eastern north Carolina is such a beautiful place. From nags head to wilmington, so many beautifully beaches. So glad I live here. Except those damn bird size mosquitoes! Glad you got to enjoy some southern hospitality.
Cardinal!
Ok, ok, a masquito ate my neighbors Cardinal!
Do I see “go with the flow” merch in the future now along with the last swell?😂
Way to be chill through all that came your way. Looks like the last day was freakin' fun!
Awesome vlog. One my favorites. Keep the positivity up. The world needs it and it’s contagious.
Those bags look like you went to Lovey's on your way out of town, but I hope you got some food at Big Thai in the background there.
Gotta love that Aloha & Ohana vibe! Whatcha need? I got you... 💕🏝🤙🚤🚗🏘
Nice footage. I went out to Kitty Hawk after Dorian came through and the waves were 15+ about every 7 seconds. I never made it past the break, which is probably a good thing. After getting absolutely slammed to the bottom a few times trying to get out, I called it a day.
Eh sometimes that's how it goes, cheers to you for giving it a go!
15 ft @ 7, lolololol
@@alev4287 I’m not kidding. It was insane.
Lessss go been waiting for this since last vlog🤙🤙🤙🤙 keep shredding
Surfed Outer Banks three times in 1988-89. Frisco Pier and the Lighthouse. If you go, find a cheap campsite. Its great.
Rob
Epic East Coast trip. Great Vlog too. Super stoked that you guys scored.
It's great to see the awesome people of the south east representing. Great vid Koa!! I'm heading down there with the fam to relax today and tomorrow.
I live on the Namibia coast and dig skeleton bay . Thanks for explaining where outer banks is ..wasn't sure until a few min. In lol
I got married at Jennette’s 💕 great memories! Love living so close to the OBX!
Awesome cool awesomeness Thxxx for ALWAYYYS sharinggg....
Good vibes when it comes to good people so I'm glad things worked out in the end Koa!
Should have went to L.I. It was rather good. We'd welcome your chill vibe any day!
Nice video. Need a jet ski🤙
So sick how the waves reform like that
The first place you were, Jeanette Pier, has a decent break on the south side of the pier. As well as the pier directly south of. Outer Banks Fishing Pier/Fish Heads Bar and Grill. I visit 2-3x a year usually stay either in South Nags Head or down near Rodanthe. Right before(North of) Rodanthe, the S turns has a reliable break. North part of Nags Head across from the former Schmells Ice cream shop & Surf shop there's usually a bar that puts up decent waves. I'm a lil older now and not experienced in large surf but still love to body board and when I'm there I spend 10+hrs a day on the beach and over half the time in the water.
The OBX is a slice of heaven. Great place. Would live there if I were able to. It's a different walk of life, great people... Vibes are def good there.
Great video! Awesome adventure! Incredible experiance down there, everything just worked out. Wish you well on your travels and surfing.
That last edit was so sick
Awesome vlog!! 19:21 That moment when you know you are about to get destroyed!!! Glad though you made it back and had an epic second day.
i go up to OBX every year! definetly best waves i have ever seen in this video! I was up in Frisco last month! love your content
Legend of “The last swell”
The last swell of winter(spring) is sad on Maui. Looking forward to a long flat summer. Blocked by Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokini, and Molokai!!! At yay yay
*New Sub* today, sorry Koa I don't know why I haven't been here yet but I'm really digging the vibes and style of your vlog 😉 'island time' and flow, I'll keep coming back for more. Aloha from the Great Lakes USA
Ya'll would do anything for a wave. Respect!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
Awesomeness glad you got to Surf North Carolina... My home break... now you know why I get pumped on your videos 🤣🤣🤣... Keep killing it 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Awesome video - right in my backyard, I live on the “Southern OBX” between Wilmington and the OBX. Recognized a lot along your road trip up the coast.
KOA mate,. Love your stuff. Watching from Merewether,Australia. Your so relaxed most of the time.... I chill right out checking your vids. Love 'em man. Stay strong bro.
pumped to see you make it out here. you got the full hatteras experience. except for the triple barrel. come back again.
Hey, glad you enjoyed the wonderful obx beaches and waves man. Grew up in VA near the NC line and visited often. Now in FL...still east coast, but wish I could get back more frequently.
Hurricane surf on the East Coast when the swells are non-stop you've got to kick out or bail as soon as you realize the wave is going to close out. If you let the white water explode behind you it will push you too far in and then it's a struggle to get back out. So I would try to get a tube ride (bail in the tube if needed) or a make a few fast sections then kick out. Again, just because the paddle back out is so long and hard when the surf is big and constant. Once the surf settles down and comes in in sets with a waiting period, then you can just time the sets and get out so much easier. But that paddle out is serious on bid days. It's not like places that have a nice channel to help you get out or you've got Jet Skis giving you a ride out. The waves also break a lot further out. Some Hurricane swells the outside breaks so far out. It will also completely clean you out if you're sitting on the inside trying to catch waves. So you're basically forced to paddle out to the outside. I've surfed a lot of hurricanes over the years and I just prayed my leash didn't break (and it did one day when I got ripped off my board when my duck dive was too shallow on a huge wave.). That's a whole other survival story for another day. Love the Vid.
Cracking up at you asking "Are we at Kitty Hawk" in the middle of the Alligator River Bridge.
That is livin !
Pyzels boards are looking good as well yew
The first spot was Jennettes Pier,Nags head and it was MESSY out there. Koa's surfing made it look WAY better than it was.
water was slop.............
Love surf adventure stories like this one !
I've been surfing the OBX since 1973 & I was there this past Tues-Fri bruh. Great video here too~!
Nothing quite like the OBX!
Greetings from Peru, Koa.
Hahah. YES. The Art of Flight. Just take a page from that playbook.
The surf community is great every where
