Can't surf anymore since I broke my neck and back. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Brings back a lot of memories of days when it was just a friend and myself at The Point in Newport, huge Cottons, Scotchmans Cove, southside Seal Beach wedging peaks and a bazillion days at Uppers. K38, San Miguel, Playa Negra, Pavones, Witches Rock, Little Hawaii, Marbella, Costa Rica and so many other insane spots. So many good memories. A bit of advice..... If you ever need surgery, seriously consider not doing it. I was told I would absolutely surf again with full assurance by my spine doctor. After the surgery and tons of physical therapy I cant surf. Doctor was supposedly the best in orthopedic surgeon in Orange County. Dr Eric Lin. Don't ever use him or his partner Dr. Ali.
Saw the finale today and boy were we bummed he didn't win. Not just his surfing but his humility and his constant thankfulness to the universe that made him our fav. What a good heart and amazing talent!! But love that he has embraced the wetsuit..all feet out🤙😁😄 Can't wait to see all these vids
Haha my deckhand was laughing at me leaning. I didn't even know I was sitting here tucking like I'm in the barrel. So cool that hollow sound when you hooted in the barrel.
I grew up snowboarding. Tried surfing in Costa Rica, it was tough. It’s amazing to me how comfortable you are in the water. It’s foggy, you can’t see land, there’s sharks and still you are out in it getting barrels. I have so much admiration for you guys. Also, I wonders how fast Koa was going on those waves and what is the ultimate speed one can achieve. I assume size of wave and board are factors.
I dream and aspire to live the lives you guys live. Beyond underrated. Entertaining in every aspect. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Happy to be apart of your journey, even through a screen. 🤙🏼🏄
Koa! Dang dude! I have been rooting for you the entire Ultimate Surfer competition! I amvso freaking stoked for you that you made it to the finals! Great job man! You crushed it!
You HAD to been tripping about G.White nailing you Hawaiin? Your frickin amazing to go surf S.Africa with no visibility and no One in sight lol, crazy man, proud to hail from the same aina bradha Koa boi
Appreciate the 'real' experience of it! It's sooo relatable. Great to be in it with you during the fights AND the victories ✨⚡Ohhh I didn't surf this year 😭 but soon I hope 🤙🏼
Dude, mudwater is DISGUSTING. I hope you enjoy it and aren't trying to stomach it down like I had to. I'll take coffee EVERY DAY. awesome vid as always!
This may sound a little weird but could you do a video with "typical" experiences you have as a beginner and how to "solve them". For example, getting in with the board or how to control your board and get on it again after a wave hits you.
when you're out there, does it feel like you need to catch any set that comes your way because of the sweep? is that what makes it hard to get that "special wave"?

Haha my deckhand was laughing at me leaning. I didn't even know I was sitting here tucking like I'm in the barrel. So cool that hollow sound when you hooted in the barrel.
I just love the honesty. It's not all roses out there, contrary to the seeming ease of use. Thanks bru
Got to be in good shape for Skeleton! Great video Koa & Crew!
Loving the South African content my bru! you’re a legend Koa 🇿🇦🤙🏼
Indeed a work out. WHOA! Sweet rides. :-)
Very few people appreciate the fitness required to do something like this. A+++ man.
How does this man not have 1 mill subs With those barrels?!?!?!?!
Most fun POV video I've seen!! It would be so rad to be in a lineup with you, Sam, seals, and barrels.

best vlog on youtube mahalo from tasmania
for the sooouuuul💖
sick vid my bru
WOW THAT WAS AMAZING HOLY MOLY
So excited to watch you surf. But you said you not sure where you are, there is no land mark or anything, it’s so scared for me.
"Thank you for this experience,," "good to see you again" a little prayer maybe , good for you
I saw a video of you doing a air at the wedge looked sick but still a super sick video like normal
esto es demasiado hermoso
this is sooooo sick!
This may sound a little weird but could you do a video with "typical" experiences you have as a beginner and how to "solve them". For example, getting in with the board or how to control your board and get on it again after a wave hits you.
Yessirr
Thank you :)
Aweeh bruuuu 🤙🏽
Gooo! some bombs 💣💣
we need a new video brothers!!!!
Banger
When Sam took off on that first wave I thought he was the seal
it's a trip i can turn around, get the ball off my dog, throw it for him, and look back you're still in the tube. man i would love a shot at that wave
That was MENTAL! But don't lie, you totally used the car for those laps off camera. If you didn't, you should have!
Big balls¡¡¡
Saw you at the kid cudi concert!!!!
Aloha mai e Koa, Iʻm not crazy about that water....!
More Potter please:)
Every time hes in the barrel I move my head closer to the wave as if its me in the barrel lol
13:57 wtffff thisss wavve
sick thumbnail
What size of board r u riding Koa?
when you're out there, does it feel like you need to catch any set that comes your way because of the sweep? is that what makes it hard to get that "special wave"?
Add them all together and you've gone way past one minute in the barrel.
Lekker my Bru
i'm mesmerized by this shit
How's the fall feel at this break? Is it straight to the sand?
it is just me? or the wipeout wasnt that gnarly? maybe koa's technique
technique and 'you weren't there' . Basically, what's heavy to you will be easy to him from an experiencial point of view. Happy surfing!
Can you surf at the peak and get on when it’s forming
no. It's a 2km wave that comes in fast and if you find the gap to get in then good for you.
Hi
So murky and freaky
Yooooo wassup???
