  • The term "we scored waves" in the surfing world gets thrown around quite a bit. Judging from this content of Koa and Alex Smith, Koa Rothman, Benji Brand and Anthony Walsh, they can say it with conviction.
    Sit back and enjoy the legendary barrels of Namibia and get tubed even if you're getting cubed.
    Shot 100% on the HERO4® cameras from ‪GoPro.com.
