Pussy, surfing is life, I surf England 15 degree waters all year round, I’ve surfed Norway 8 degree waters, I’ve surfed in Iceland, 3 degree water, grow a pair yeh
Koa- As a 55 year-old man now (f%#@!), who has been in and out of the surf for 50 years, what I respect the most about you besides your incredible talent and world class ability, is your attitude. You are an absolute hard-charger in the water, and while dry appear to maintain a solid, strong, humble, respectful, gracious vibe with a titanium backbone. You are the type of guy I always want in my crew, no matter what the challenge. I hope boys and other young men and women are learning from your out of water behavior as well. I know I could mention many more names, but I believe it is the manner that Kelly Slater, John John Florence, and you carry yourselves as humans that is the true, mighty "Duke" sense of Watermen. God bless.
KOA I live just across the golden gate bridge there's definitely a big surf scene here and judging by how many kids in my school surf it's definitely growing, cold water helps you focus more!1
that was a great one! the surfing, the interaction, all of it. i liked the discussion while driving, about how it feels to go into one of the big ones. And hat off to Jack for that sunrise shot around 11;30, masterful , as was the final sunset and the footage under the bridge. loved these lines=nathan "your brain says it's too much data. just wipe it". and koa "nate, how do you like my crop top?". :) Mavericks such a freaky wave.
When there is nothing in your mind because your so into that moment of paddling and dropping into a monster it's the reason. . . the real reason I believe we all search for that next wave.
Koa you should have headed south to Mexico for these last run of swells, absolutely firing and clean. Todos and Salsipuedes were pumping. We tow our boat down there. I surfed Salsipuedes but watched guys charge huge Todos. Too big for me, if i have to ride a board bigger than 8'4" i shouldnt be out there, hah. After a surf we go fish for huge red rockfish and an occasional yellowtail if the water is clean. Bring home fish taco meat and good memories back across the border to sd. Aloha, you guys charge
Love the Videos, as always. I'm from the west coast of Canada (Squamish) and do not even surf here. Too cold for this guy and way too expensive. One weekend in Tofino cost as much as airfare to Costa Rica. That's where I winter now! You should come this way and surf Pavones. The longest left point in the Country. Pura Vida Koa and Happy Holidays!
Hope Mavs gets the green light before Feb 1st 2019 thats the window closure for WSL comp if iam not mistaken ??. Watching Lucas Chumbo Chianca getting some absolute monsters on one of the last standout sessions !!!!. Good Luck Koa. Could you throw in a few more flashes of your fitness routine that would be sick mate i am sure everyone would super appreciate that Happy New Year :)
Hey Koa, that was a huge Mavericks day, You caught some sick ones. Just wondered, what was the hotel called that you stayed at in Fiji earlier this year on Tavarua. Yew
By choice I wear a 4/3 all year around in BC Canada even in winter. It's actually not bad in the water. Getting in and out of the suit in winter is another story :).
Been lucky in Santa Cruz I haven’t dealt with the cold yet. 4/3 is good dawn patrol but 3/2 works better middle of the day and evening sessions. Good to know I don’t have to spend another 500 bucks on wetsuits to surf further north
Can you show people to the different ways to pop up on a surfboard please? I'm a beginner Surfer aggressively trying to move from soft-top to longboard and eventually down the fun shapes and hopefully one day not too far in the future shortboards but I know the pop-up is very different when doing it on shortboards. I have watch UA-cam videos on the chicken wing method and jumping from the thighs which is very hard and planting toes into the pad and stepping forward with the dominant and I just want to know what do most professional Surfers do and what do you like to do? For the pop-up. Thanks!!!! Much success, Kyle
I live in San Francisco about 25 minutes from Mavericks. The water here is a cold AF plus there are Great White sharks. Mavericks can be dangerous and it's a very heavy wave. Be careful surfing there. RIP Mark Foo
“If I was from somewhere cold like here, I wouldn’t be a surfer” believe me man.... living in NorCal and being a surfer is definitely challenging
Come to the east coast lol
Man I surf on the east coast in the winter but its still worth it.
He goes..."I wouldn't be a surfer, zero chance"....lol...🤣
Mate come to England
Pussy, surfing is life, I surf England 15 degree waters all year round, I’ve surfed Norway 8 degree waters, I’ve surfed in Iceland, 3 degree water, grow a pair yeh
"This is living", "its nuking" and "that was so sick" are my three personal favorites catchphrases.
Sounds like. Koa, Ben gravy and maybe. Who's j.o.b

If I had to paddle out in big waves, it'd be with Nate: he keeps everything light, what a great friend.
I respect anyone that attempts to ride these massive things respect koa!!
Love seein the boys surf the local big wave
KOA I live just across the golden gate bridge there's definitely a big surf scene here and judging by how many kids in my school surf it's definitely growing, cold water helps you focus more!1
These Hawaiian boys are on another level! Paddling out at Mavs is no joke when there's waves this size!
we do our best! thank you!
Respect to ALL of them, but Jeff Clark surfed this alone for 15 years. Fucking gnarley
Koa your This is Living jacket is awesome you should definitely make some and sell them

try surfing in uk winters haha
Cold water surfing does have advantages... waaayy fewer people in the water, and really cuts down on the cost of sunscreen 😂
Dude honestly once you drop into a perfect wave you forget about all the cold...either that or I'm just too baked to care either way it's a good time
Best part of the week
As always, gnarly boys 🤙🏽
Loving what you guys have been up to, both have such talent!! Also that sunset looks like neverland 😍. Keep on postinggg 🤙🏼💙
Look at all the love California shows the Hawaiians. Wish it was reciprocated.
