So happy for you Koa for surfing so well & getting up on the Aikua Big Wave Invitational Podium!! Congrats!!! 🏄🏻🏆🌊🍾🥂 You are part of surfing history! Great filming Jack!! To the incredible Aikua family, Mahalo for putting on another amazing contest in honor of your wonderful brother Eddie. 💙 Props to all of the North Shore water safety & Life guard team. As always they did a phenomenal job keeping everyone safe! (nice to see your mother at the contest too! & of course your gf)
That was freaking AWESOME! ALL of the North Shore boys finished well! Congrats to Koa, Nate, John, Eli, JOB, and Landon McNamara. Love how (at 15:15)when Koa and Landon were going out, they had a "HOLY CRAP we are going out at the Eddie" moment!! Jack killed the videography again. I have never seen Koa so nervous as he looked while waxing his board before the 2nd heat. Freaking AWESOME COVERAGE! CONGRATS KOA!!
As a commercial fisherman in Alaska over 30 yrs I have great respect for the ocean, seeing you guys purposely go out there knowing some of those waves are gonna bite you, total respect
Great angle Jack, Koa wow some bombs. Ross Clark Jones had some great rides. He never finished the rides. He looked the part as legends do. Poor Mark's ear drum Buzzy Trent told me he would hear the boulders rolling. His ears between Waimea and hang glilding. Those take offs were unreal closest thing would be hucking off a cliff in sking. Thanks for giving it all allowing us on the ride.
Congratulations. So well deserved 🎉 An amazing feat on your backhand!! Enjoy the moment, it's really special. Your This is Livin family is stoked and proud of you. You are too hard on yourself sometimes, this is an amazing life accomplishment.
Fun to watch!! Some really good editing here, loved the slow motion of some scenes!! Congrats Koa, always the best surfers in the world can do those out there!
Always room to improve koa but remember to enjoy the moment and be pleased with where you’re at today! I’m sure your kid self would look up at you in awe seeing you win any place at The Eddie. ♥️♥️
Koa you are the man! A humble Hawaiian hammah. I'm from Maui so gotta also give love to those boys. Love the Florence' s and Jaime too. All the Hawaii boys rep'd Uncle Eddie hard. Love keeping the title at home.
Better traffic this year and a better result? Coincidence? I think not!! Where that knob Cop? Way to go on the rapid fire vids homie. No 5am release time so I assume some deserved beer for you and Jack? Well done on the top 10 finish mate. You got a couple sick ones. Yew!
Nicccccceeee to see the North Shore streets!! I can't believe I heard a wild rooster, which means it's super early!! I didn't realize how common wild roosters are in some places!! ✌️😎✌️
I have lived on Oahu since 1970. We only have chickens and roosters roaming free here on the North Shore. When a rooster crows, they are merely claiming their territory. We hear them all day long. LuckyLiveHawaii 🍃🌺🍃
I was there all day. Epic event all around - well coordinated by Liam and Rip Curl, stoked for Landon (my neighbor) and Koa and the boys all charged and mostly no got injured!
You captured your nervous anticipation at the beginning of the event so well. But having watched the entire contest already, I have to admit, on re-watching your edit, and the best waves, and carnage, the times I said "Oh My God" out loudest, was when you showed your girlfriend Lydia.
Was there 2008 Eddie, I paddled out filmed the memorial and filmed everyone after, caught wave in with Kelly slater was unreal. Still got all the footage
Jack is doing an amazing job and his efforts are not going unnoticed, great job dude! Pure vibes
Props to Jack for the quick turnaround!

Epic. What a great angle of filming and then the music track!. Awesome guys!
Showing true character by running to help out the HWP when their ski was turned over. 👏🏼

Cool to see the backstage camp where you all cruise during the comp. Mahalo for the show!

The disadvantage of such UA-cam channels is that, as entertaining as they may be, they bring masses of people to the spots and into the sport.
😂😂
Congratulation! Your steadily progressing Bruh, great job!
Koa you are the man! A humble Hawaiian hammah. I'm from Maui so gotta also give love to those boys. Love the Florence' s and Jaime too. All the Hawaii boys rep'd Uncle Eddie hard. Love keeping the title at home.

Bombs away at da bay ! Nice work!
You and Eli sent it well done boys, watched the whole comp from 4am in Oz. Did Kai jump on a plane for Jaws?
Maybe do an episode on fins? Curious how the JJF fins felt and if your board has to be designed to be compatible with those fins or not?
Rothman bros did awesomely at the Eddie!
That was incredible!!!
Very Nice Koa!!! Lets Go !!!
Sick result and awesome vid
You captured your nervous anticipation at the beginning of the event so well. But having watched the entire contest already, I have to admit, on re-watching your edit, and the best waves, and carnage, the times I said "Oh My God" out loudest, was when you showed your girlfriend Lydia.
The number for the year of the dragon is 9 🐉 good work out there!
Congratulations on making the podium.
Trophy is S I C K!! Grats Koa!
Great rides mate, definitely higher than 9th imo. Merry christmas from Aus
no better advertisement for the perils of car-centric infrastructure than getting to the eddie
Congrats Koa I thought you got ripped off top 5 for sure!!!
Was there 2008 Eddie, I paddled out filmed the memorial and filmed everyone after, caught wave in with Kelly slater was unreal. Still got all the footage
Waves insane! Santa cruz calif. Waves took out big part of pier. Pacific is wild. K volcano is burping big
Do the jerseys come with holes for the rip chords?
Love your baseball cap! Will get one! Crazy surf!!!
eddie would be proud
