I seem to recall that that on the North Shore, the rustier the rust bucket the more authentic the person behind the wheel. Earlier in the episode, when you talking about not being able to go over 30 MPH, I thought to myself, cool who needs a new whip on the North Shore?...for sure not Koa. Dude can get a new AUDi or Ford truck just by asking Reef McIntosh, Quik or JJF. That bit when the driveshaft was laying on the ground was the funniest thing I've seen on this show. ...Sorry for your loss. ..dude.
Excellent vid. I love how you keep things in perspective & keep surfing fun as it should be. The drive shaft snapping on you is just part of life & you just rolled with it - good on ya!
Thanks for the vid! Officially part of my midweek decompression session! The cinematography is unreal with the killer sound track status, nice job Jack!
Looked fun. Love how you realize and put it on the vlog how Hawaii is literally perfectly placed in the Pacific. Its a miracle the the islands were so perfectly placed or grown by volcanic action.
The 3rd session was probably the best surfing I've seen you do! Also if you want to read about how the Hawaiian islands were formed, the beginning of James Michener's book HAWAII is absolutely amazing! Well worth the read.
Proud to say I was there...5:30am didn't catch a good one but I got wet...first time trying to ride a good size backdoor...scary...ya'll make it look to easy. Keep up the good work!
It is crazy how the hawaiian islands are placed. Perfect for surf. You are very blessed, enjoy it brudda. Your driveshaft was placed perfect too. Talk to jaime see if he could pull a fatty. Keep up these vlogs, pumps up this old man who used to be one badass rippa. One beeeg aloha!
Let’s see what you’re doing for managing and rehabbing your neck pain! I had some whiplash from a surfing fall 5 months ago and am still making a recovery. It’s been a process!
He is ripping right now. I noticed the same thing. His turns seem to be more powerful a fluid and he's holding his rails in perfectly. Also great style throughout it all. Great observation!
Are you going to get a new ride, one that doesn’t leak or fall apart? There’s something to be said for using what you got though. Maybe just some maintenance? Cool videos man! I enjoy the surfing and laughs!
I like how he continues to drive around that abused stick shift toyota truck with a bed liner rattle can paint job and homemade ladder rack , even though he could afford something wayy more expensive. goes to show he is down to earth and truly knows what is important in lyfe.
Koa, I have the same coffee machine as you and couldn't help but notice you're not getting enough pressure on your Espresso (should aim to get to 12 o'clock on the pressure gauge). I would either try and grind the beans finer or increase how hard you're tamping, you'll extract much more from the coffee and get lots more flavour : ) Love what you do, addicted to your videos dude. Take it steady
Your combo at 11:36 was 🔥, Ivan making that barrel was pretty sick too. Wish I surfed better so I could make money for surfing on youtube😂 Keep it up Ledge
Thats a second time I’ve seen a drive shaft drop like that, I remember when I was a kid it happened to my dad’s old Dodge van when we were driving 🤷🏻♂️
Like and Subscribe for more! Enjoy the video!
If that Toyota is 4×4 put it in 4 high then limp it home on the front drive. Keep up the sick clips 🤙
@@coldshoulder3753 he's gonna have a good laugh when he realizes (if it is 4x4 that is)
Love how you said: ‘to our channel’. Keep it up too Germainnn
Hope you get a new truck!! Love the vlogs!💯🔥🤙🤙

Looked fun. Love how you realize and put it on the vlog how Hawaii is literally perfectly placed in the Pacific. Its a miracle the the islands were so perfectly placed or grown by volcanic action.

Awesome vid Koa, always love what you put out. Try for some airs next time
Let’s see what you’re doing for managing and rehabbing your neck pain! I had some whiplash from a surfing fall 5 months ago and am still making a recovery. It’s been a process!
thanks for doing this... greetings from Nicaragua
cool insight Koa. hawaii has been designed to be in the perfect spot.
surfing really well Koa.. turns look really strong, pyzel's look really good under your feet.
Nothing like the first swell of the season. Enjoy the mana!
daaaaaamn Koa looks like its time for a new Taco
Yes it iss.
@@KoaRothman get a 4Runner! still made in Japan.
Koa starting to surf like he has money in the bank
yoooo u guys should post Koa surfin on his instagram stories. just so it doesnt feel so long until the next video lol u guys rock :)
or i could just follow Jack on instagram lol
You are ripping at the moment Koa! Also Ivan's board is too sick
He is ripping right now. I noticed the same thing. His turns seem to be more powerful a fluid and he's holding his rails in perfectly. Also great style throughout it all. Great observation!
Not really crowded there? Lets go!
Mean slashez⚡
Broooooo I was right next to u at ur truck when u were parked next to the Ronnie burns picture, I love ur videos
Nice ending
Are you going to get a new ride, one that doesn’t leak or fall apart? There’s something to be said for using what you got though. Maybe just some maintenance? Cool videos man! I enjoy the surfing and laughs!
Koa your surfing turns have improved so much in the last couple of months, don't know if it's the new boards? But way sharper
Michael SERONG I agree. He’s really surfing solid.
First swell stoke, TRD drop a turd weak. Lol. Psyched on your channel bro!! 🤙
Thanks Koa! Where you at @TOYOTAOFHONOLULU? Koa needs a whip!
I like how he continues to drive around that abused stick shift toyota truck with a bed liner rattle can paint job and homemade ladder rack , even though he could afford something wayy more expensive. goes to show he is down to earth and truly knows what is important in lyfe.

Sorry I mean eXpresso...
My tundra tail gate handle is broken exactly like yours haha
Where do you look the forecast? Website? Cheers man!
Ivan's board looks siiiiick. Probably significantly less than 6'.
How is no one stealing those boards in the the truck? 😂😂
Great video. 👍🏻
i drink about 15 coffees a day too. great content
Put it in front wheel drive/4 wheel and drive home.
I think Toyota of Hawaii needs to get on board
Shafted®
Koa, enjoying your content.
What website were you using to view the swell in the beginning of the video.
Thanks man, all the best.
Your combo at 11:36 was 🔥, Ivan making that barrel was pretty sick too. Wish I surfed better so I could make money for surfing on youtube😂 Keep it up Ledge
What do u use for those swell maps? I’m trying to learn airs too it’s a biotch 😆
Thats a second time I’ve seen a drive shaft drop like that, I remember when I was a kid it happened to my dad’s old Dodge van when we were driving 🤷🏻♂️
Sick
You could have put it in 4 wheel drive. The front wheels would have got ya home.
I say Xpresso too 🤣 ☕️
Koa what website or app do you use to check surf report and swells coming ?
What board is Ivan riding? Astro Pop?
Bro you nearly came to God in that intro!!! ;-) I'd blame him for ya waves!!
"awesome.. first swell of the year"... truck falls apart... bummer..
Its was so fun here! I will get it fixed eventually haha
booootiful
You were ripping. Yeah Koa. You are going to have a great season. You looked powerful as fuck out there.
What website do you use to check the surf forecast?
For a future vlog could you get John John and Nate to teach you airs until you lands one🤙🏻🏄🏼♂️
Id say ask John Florence cause Nate is still working on airs himself. JJ can just pop a 5 ft 360 air effortlessly.
So much stoke yew
That driveshaft moment was fucking epic
So funny!!!
I’m telling u bro try skiing next time you’re on the mainland😍 love the style of the vids. Keep it up.
Car dealerships with Koa
"It's Trippy"
Damn your truck man, that sucks! I feel for you, I've had a POS truck for a long time.
u should come out with stickers. hahahaha legendddddds tho!!!
your life is so dope🤙🏽 would love to meet you some day
Where do you get your buoy info?
Straight airs are better than twisting airs.
Do they not have barbers in hawaii
Everything happends for a reason buddy 😉most surspots thats good are just geographicly placed good
What is the name of the website that he uses to see the surf forecast
Xpresso Session.
what lift/tire/wheel setup?
cool vid, a little off on your geography lesson. Japan is Asia as well as the land next to it and north of it
Stop teasing me with your eXpresso. 😂
