This is the bomb diggety!
I always wanted to see more dangerous waves.
Love seeing folks do what they do, with aplomb and intrepidness.
Cortes Bank is deservedly in this list! Thrilled to see that wave action here. Koa, I do not think that Cortes Bank is SIX HOURS out from shore, sorry. I think it is less far out.
Thrilled to see Shipstern's Bluff featured!
Yeah, the right in Australia ... numero uno!
It's like three shelfs of waves in one wave (See at 15:32, the top middle and lower shelfs of waves looking like three waves in one). I mean, there is not guaranteed smoother ride, ever. You'll start to go down what you think is a smooth face, then you'll encounter a shelf, then there are two more shelfs in one wave so ... frankly, I do not understand how anyone can keep from wiping out on any one wave, there.
@KoaRothman
Which one hammered YOU the worst?
And which one have you surfed the biggest?
Like to see more of these "most dangerous" for sure! Mahalo
no1 is definitely the most insane thing I have seen
I’ve filmed ‘The Right’ a bunch of times and ‘The Left’ is no1. Way more terrifying.
I spent about 40 seconds under that shit. Board looked like it was sawed in half. Perfectly broken in two.
The Right is 1.6kms off the bottom tip of Western Australia in the Southern Ocean, it is a full blown ocean monster like no other. a wall of power. it's super cold there too. a 5+ hour drive from Perth, then way out at sea. fortunately decent medical facilities in Albany. never surfed it, but I'm from the area. it's a beast.
great video concept love these more information based videos, always gives you content for when waves are flat, id love to see a series purely based on a specific story i think it'd engage your audience to watch more for you and your personality because thats what we love with the vlogs
No. 1 is scary looking alright…that wave in Ireland that Nathan just rode is some angry looking water! Good size as well…
Haha i knew someone would mention mullaghmore.
Thanks for bringing up THE RIGHT. I think, it‘s underdiscussed or at least I don‘t find very much talks about it or comments on it from people that experienced it.
Love these kind of videos. Keep this kind on content coming.
Absolutely love these types of videos. Love your other videos too but I can turn my phone off and just listen to these ones. Would love to see more list type videos like the dos and donts and stuff like this. Great stuff
You’re one of the very few in your generation who have been able to surf the bay with practically no one out. You have been very blessed to be in the Eddie🤙🏾
Thanks for the followup video! You hit the two main ones I was curious about. :) (The Right and Shipsterns.) Nice!
That merch drop was your guys best yet by far. The Hawaii scale hoodie and Let’s get this bread Tee are straight fire
Keep doing these talking videos about surfing n Ocean experiences, I like alot
#1 I’d never seen - that looks terrifying! Great lists Koa! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Koa. Grateful.
Great video, very interesting to hear about it from your perspective
Excellent content keep em coming legend 🤙🏼🔥💯
Shipstern and The Right look like the ocean just folds itself. The weight of the water coming down must be incredible
Koa is the man. Subscribed immediately on the pt. 1 video before I even watched it. I don't surf myself, but I'm a die hard fan and have been since I was a little kid. Speaking as a pedestrian, Cortez Bank is a trip, because it's in the middle of the Pacific. Nothing around except open water. Frightening.
love the vids Koa
Great list Koa, could not agree more-- awesome point about foam- coming up for breath, yeah nuts- anyways great video, keep doing your thing bro! Mad support 💯💯🌍🌍🗝🗝
The big beach breaks always seem scary to me. I took about a 7 footer on the head at Blacks and thought that was crazy, so I couldn't imagine a 20 footer at Puerto Escondido!
I've never been in anything over 8ft myself but agreed, the lack of a channel and the chance to just get stuck in the impact zone due to shitty rip currents seems more terrifying than a shallow reef with a channel
Well done Koa.
All these obscure slabs Nate has been doing seem to be the more under-sung dangerous waves.
Can you do a winter quiver for this year, what boards you’d ride on what days and when you’d go from your 6, 6’2’4’6 etc go to some clips and what the dims are.
Tasmania also has Pedra Branca an offshore wave that has barely been surfed and gets even bigger then shippies 🥶
Yeah, I get confused with Pedra Branca with Margaret River's right as to all intents and purpose, they look very similar.
Dude thanks for the insight 🤘
I was curious if you had surfed Shipsterns! It seems so, so thick and scary. I wonder if you would surf there again? It was interesting to hear about that foam phenomenon. Thanks Koa!!!
loved this series, was getting nervous to not see the right on the list but, and can see why theres not much coverage of the wave, should really check out cyclops not too far from the right. The right drags you across dry reef then just sends you to the depths and the great ocean current wont send you up either.
Cyclops is a beautiful beast but just like the right no one is stupid enough to surf it on a big day so it will never get the fame it deserves
One of your best non-traditional vids so far. Like The Godfather movies, Part I and Part II are classics!
Great video of some ultra mean breaks. Thanx take care and stay alive!!!
Thanks KOA!!!
Solid selection
Amazing surf content. I didn’t know how much I’d enjoy just hearing one of the greats talk about it. Incredible. I’ve seen videos of the those wild Aussie waves, cyclops is another, I think those would be your number one if you went there lol. Yes they haven’t claimed the lives pipe has but that might just be the fact that there’s only about a dozen ppl down to try.
I enjoyed this podcast.i surfed mainland mexico/hawaii every year 73 to late 80s.your recount of Puerto escondido was spot on.mi 70s or so I brought my brother down to mainland for his ist run[3 months of course!] BC BEFORE CORDS ,, I CHECKED IT OUT IN DA MORNING WITH MY PLATINO!! AND IT WAS BIG!, MIND YPU I HAD AN 8 6 ,90.AND 10.0 IN PUERTO AT ALL TIMES,SAMR IN MICHOACAN! SO THOS MORNING WAS EXTRA LARGE AND UNRULY,WAITED AN HOUR OR SO AND IT WAS BIG BUT SURFABLE,NO ONE OUT NO WIND! SO PADDLED OUT HARBOUR WAY OUT AND AROUND. WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE CATCHING A FATTIE FRICKIN AWESOME WAVE ,HOWEVER IT WAS WAY FARTHER OUT THAN NORMAL AND I LOST MY BOARD AFTER GETTING SLAMMED BY A FICKEN Fattie it kept pulling out into the impact zone over and over for like 20 on the head,one of the heaviest beatings I ever had period. You description was right on.this was way before you were born and it was a popular spot ALOHA NUI !!
good stuff. I usually skip to the waves but I actually listened for a change. If you want to do The Right give Harro a bell. He's been there, done that.. And a boat trip is always fun.
Love these videos!! So interesting and feels like BTS!
I've eaten so much shit at Puertos and it's super sketch the way it can just hold you in position... Doesn't push you into shore enough, it just positions you right in the impact for however many waves are in the set
Not sure you had the experience when on your trip to SA but what are your thoughts on Dongeon ? Big unpredictable wave and fyi if you want to paddle out gotta go in through shark alley 😂 right between the seal island and the reef the wave hits… some real sketchy sh
Don’t forget el slammo
On the flip side to all of the waves you mentioned, the most easily accessed dangerous wave is The Wedge.
Thanks Koa, my son and I got to watch you at the back door shoot out from the beach in front of the volcom house, my son's name is also Koa.
@ koarothman a rank of your 10 fav waves would be awesome to watch
No.1 on this list is absolutely the me terrifying thing anyone has ever surfed, to me that is.
The entire ocean is behind that face and it’s folding over on top of you. One second you are at normal atmospheric pressure and the next you can be 3X that.
So frightening!
Also, Ocean Beach California (San Francisco) when it’s giant must be on this list. It’s the toughest paddle you’ll ever make, and when it’s big it breaks far enough out to truly give you a heavy workout just getting to the launchpad. I’ve been pinned on the bottom and ground in to the sand with my legs bent the wrong way over my head like a triple jointed yoga girl and have literally come up skinned all over my face, and that is no place where you want to temp Mr White with a little bloody abrasion 😋
i live an hour away from the right, all of these clips are tow in surfies but its mainly ridden by bodyboarders who paddle it. A local told me a story of how there was a small group of people who surfed it over the years, then when a photographer exposed the location the guy had an axe put through his windshield 😂
Yeah, Ocean Beach is cold water Puerto when it's maxxing
The added bonus of Ocean Beach is sharks, big sharks, I mean really big sharks. 😮
P.S. also there has almost no lifesavers on the beach,you are on your own,I damn near drowned on " Noriega Street,and they often have found em dead& washed up on the beach.
@@kc72186and do not bend over on land& watch for syringes,p.s. stay away from the tenderloin district,as if your car breaks down,good luck!
Yee yee 😎 excited to see what’s next
For those curious about big waves there are a couple brazilian ones that should be checked: Urca do Minhoto & Ilha dos Lobos. Honestly have no ideia how they would figure compared to the ones named in the video, maybe no where near, but definitely worth checking out!
The Right looks like the Wrong choice…😂
loved it koa
Koa jack ,thank you 😃🤙
The Right and Cyclops are two of the freakiest waves in Australia....
Check out Cape Solander in Australia , it doesn’t get massive but it is a solid slab wave and breaks so close to the cliff it is terrifying
Ripper wave on the right swell. Right onto that rock shelf
Right on Koa! I was wondering where you were going to place "The Right" in W. Australia on your list. Yes! So scarry!
do more vids. that was awsome
I don’t need VPN but Nord sponsors so much righteously sick content that I’m gonna pull the trigger lol
Koa, love your videos. Off the subject I read you had neck surgery. I have had two back and one shoulder surgery already and having neck surgery on my c3 and c4 at my throat area right before Christmas. Once u had your surgery did you lose your mobility in your neck as well as other part of your body? I was never nervous about my other surgeries but for the first time I’m very nervous…. And to this day can you still do your normal activities weight lifting jogging etc stuff to keep fit? Or if anyone’s been through my experiences feel free to reply…. Thanks and God bless the surfers
Saw my brother surf Cortes when I was like 10 (he and his buddies took me along). Never seen anything like it in my life. A literal massive wave in the middle of the ocean. Was one of the coolest experiences to watch as a kid. He always said it was the scariest session of his life, massive waves, we saw shark fins on the boat. Wild.
KILLERS on TODO SANTOS ISLAND off of Ensenada. I have lived and surfed substantial waves on Kauai, Maui, Santa Cruz and San Diego and the only time in my life I thought I might die was when I got caught inside at Killers. The crazy thing is that it was only about 8’ that day! The reason it’s so dangerous is because it breaks close to a shore comprised of massive boulders. The boulders are much bigger than at Peahi and it breaks so much closer in than Peahi, and even when it’s 40’ plus. The other issue is that it’s an island 12 miles off of Ensenada and the only good hospitals are in San Diego which means you’ll probably die waiting to cross the border.
That Eddie figure is sick! Where did you get that?
17:13 The next guy in line really dodged a bullet there
My palms are sweaty just watching this
Imagine a 100 ft cliff climb/walk down. Jumping off rock headland directly into the impact zone. Then paddling out through that, hooking a hard right, paddling another 500-600 m open ocean to an inclined slab. Most slabs are flat, this angles up. If you wipe out your rolling up it.
Only works when swell above 6 ft. There isnt a hospital, just a clinic. You need to be air lifted if you get injured with a 2 hr flight to hospital.
Its all relative. 🤷 Must be an Ozzie thing.
Did you talked about Mullaghmore Ireland?
I nearly died at Puerto due to the exact reason you mentioned. I fell on the first wave of the set and kept getting sucked into the impact zone, got like 7 big sets on the head. was completly exhausted and panicked, very nearly drowned. I rate it as the most dangerous wave I've ever surfed for sure.
Same here. In 2017. I really thought it was the end for me. I never surfed the same after that... Not that I'm super good anyway but I was getting there. The day before, I got the wave of the day actually! I think I got to confident :/ Zicatela is no joke!
The guy's who are just swimming there taking photos are crazy. If that was me I'd be thinking about sharks.
I'm thinking that your first top 5 appraisal was correct Koa & the second top 5 are probably on the mark 👌 The great white shark population here is estimated to be around 12 thousand & with about 2 thirds of the population around juvenile stages 🤙They mostly spend their time cruising about 10 kilometres from the coast !
Hey Koa have you ever surfed Point Mugu Naval Base Ventura County, Cali? It's just above Malibu and just under Oxnard. PLace is sick. Is a south facing beach Super sick in the summer but is a point and gets good also in winter taking a North swell. Thats where i grew up. Place gets Triple overhead on right swells. The pros call it Little Pipeline. Great vids man Mahalo!
You forgot the pier in Naples, Florida !
Nice to hear humility from one of the most talented athletes on the planet.
When are you coming to Ireland brother! Surf at mullaghmore!!!
You’ve gotta do a trip to Cortez bank with the boys
Could we get another vid of Jack catching some waves? That would be so sick
The no one wave , the right, looks gnarly! Especially with great whites! I get anxious just looking at it
the right is just sooooooooo hectic you gotta be kidding me going on some of those, those locals probably all have hearing problems lots of sign language.... thumbs up and shakas .........
Cloudbreak looks like such a beautiful wave. So blue
One of my favourite waves. It's such beautiful wave.
Koa,,, seems like a lot of these are way off shore. Is there waves we haven’t found yet?
Cortez is not a shelf, it's a seamount south of Tanner bank which all used to be one island before the end of the ice age and 390ft+ sea-level rise
How do you not mention the infamous GHOST TREES in Carmel California. It's easily more dangerous than some of these waves
?
Do people still surf ghost trees? Thought it was closed to jet skis. Guess people can paddle in, crazy bastards that they are.
Do more workout videos!
Im guessing you havent ever surfed desert point at this stage. Its not all about massive waves but when desert point gets going, its more dangerous than pipe. But yeah, your list is more complete than before. Still surprised leaving out all the crazy fast indo waves
When big waves keep you down "long"? How long is that roughly? Trying to train
After witnessing Makua get that humongous Batu swell barrel at Sorake, I would have to pick 15 foot Nias as one of the deadliest. Two people died there in the 90's and there have been a multitude of drownings, dislocations, fractures and lacerations from contact with the reef. Koa Smith and numerous other big wave pro's have been seriously humbled there, and you know how hard it is to get into backhand when it's big and windy.
Doesn't get to 15ft , it's a perfect wave, very easy compared to countless waves that are way heavier!!
I used to think Shipsterns and the right were the same wave.
i would like to see The Right max out surfed
homey shreds , going for broke on a surfboards a great way to stay well fed.....good job....
I've always wondered why The Right hasn't gotten more coverage... Since the first time I saw any videos of it. Insane . I can't imagine facing down a 40ft vertical wall. Infinitely thick
It hasn't really broken properly in years with the la nina. Or at least the surfers try to encourage that opinion. But if this drought continues it could bring some big antarctic storms.
At the right Koa it goes from deep ocean to a shallow reef. At the end of the reef it goes back to deep ocean and I’ve heard the reef is pretty short. So if the wave pulls you off the back of the reef you get tugged deeeeep deep down in deep ocean no reef 🌝
The Wedge Newport Beach, CA
Yea the right looks nuts
part 3 part 3 part 3
For you Koa , South Australia hurts you every time, stay away! or else 3rd time unlucky, visiting hospital again, the koa curse!
I've seen lots of videos of "the right in australia", and always wondered what the shape of the wave really is, what it would look like from a drone up high and from various angles, because the impression I got from the videos I have seen is like what you describe, a wall of water that behind it is just more water IE no back side, so if you wipe out you're under 30 feet of water, doesn't seem survivable...
Would there be a lot of people surfing cloudbreak if Jet ski rescues werent a thing? Have you ever gotten caught inside and gotten out without help? or has nate or billy or anyone? Askign about the big days not the medium days.
Thankyou ✌🏼
Cape fear nsw Australia
The box W.A also a worth looking at
Most dangerous wave ghost trees, central coast, California, Monterey
he think he brett barley with these little in office tutorials
All good choices. Danger is relative and every wave you have on your list is capable of serious damage to anyone choosing to drop in.
The Right looks HEAVY
Maybe Reunion should be on the list too because of the shark attacks
Todos is scariest place I surfed in the 80s we would have it to ourselves and not uncommon see 30 to 40 feet. Hold downs way heavy.
Koa. Check out Shark Park. San Miguel Island. Santa Barbara Co. 😮 Im a huge fan. Dig all your videos. 😎🤙🏽
