    @KoaRothman u nailed that sponsor bit about therapy. Came across sincere and not awkward. Not an easy thing to do. And of course the shootout episode of the vlog was a cool insight into the process, in the tower and hearing the judges talking and stuff is gold!

    That in memory of Koa stuff you can see it on Koas face and hear it in his voice he does not like it at all, Koa never let your best friends know what gets to you because they will never back off.

    We got a glimpse! Fitting it's from Mama Florence. No Mama says stuff like "my other little son" without there being an unexplainable and genuine bond. Even landlocked dreamers like me can experience this kinda love. Heal well, kid, it's important. All the best and thank you!

      I was just saying that. I’ve met the Florence’s a few times. Their mother Alexandra just has the best energy. Very Very cool person.

      Thats unique to the shootout and maybe the vans pipe masters, whos judging panel are pro surfers that have real connections to the surfers theyre judging like same sponsor or home town etc or even old rivalries. Conversation between WSL judges in the tower is frowned upon for obvious reasons.

    Koa don’t push it bro, the brain is slow healing. I would take it nice and easy x everything happens for a reason, make the best of your down time to heal and get dialed in. Glad you’re okay, get in the hyperbaric chamber and get hooked up to some oxygen. Much love 💪🏼

  • @boddysurfer
    @boddysurfer 8 місяців тому +12

    Excellent video Koa, great behind the scenes action. The judges stand content was really informative.
    Lots of humour and great interaction with the fans! 👍👍

    Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping you find a helmet that works for you at Pipe because it's just a roll of the dice that you don't hit the reef again on your head. Multiple concussions, as we now know, can really mess up your life forever. Glad to see you're promoting online therapy. We all know about our physical condition, but for some reason dealing with our mental condition is fraught with fear of ostracism, humiliation, and repression. We need to end that way of thinking about mental health. Thank you for all you do!

    Please don’t push it Koa! It’s tough being dry and watching all your buds but it’s really important to let that stuff inside heal up too! Those are violent falls at Pipe and happen every session! Hell, even paddling out can scramble you good! I know you’re young, healthy, and anxious but please take care of the noggin! Go to town and ride some tourist waves and ease back in. Pipe will still be waiting for you!

    @koarothman . . . So help me out here. 'they don't wear jerseys so as not to steal the limelight from the surfer's sponsors . . . . ' (i love it . . . purest of motives), but . . . Why can't they just wear jerseys with no logos! (i.e. "plain ol' colored jerseys).?
    This would help the commentators and the judges from trying to guess "who dat?"
    Love your videos. Thanks for inviting us in to your dream scene on the North Shore (got a small taste of it at Dolly Latronic's house back in '85) . . . Keep 'em comin' braddah Koa !
