Moses Davis i think it also has something to do with the duality of man, they're extreme adrenaline freaks so they're constantly on a down searching for their next high
jason Lang he such a surfer boy esk kind of guy. like watch any movie and how they are perceived on screen, this guy seems like tht in real life too. they always so nice and just MAD chill. it’s a good thing 🤣
This x1000000 I wish more guys understood that being laid back, cheerful and passionate about the things you love is literally the most attractive thing.
Michael Lloyd If someone is top 10 best surfers in the world of corse is top tier good, maybe not better than JJF, but still a beast considering jjf is 5y older
The fact that Kaona’s favorite surf movie and the movie he elaborated the most on is a animated movie about penguins surfing is just AMAZING! Doesn’t take himself too seriously and just wants to have fun. That’s how we should all be!
I don't know anything about surfing, never saw this man in my whole life, but after the first clip they showed I already liked him a lot. How can someone be so effortlessly likeable?
Most surfers are! They’re so chill and like whatever man lol They are the best people to hang around with. They are just stoked on life, especially when surfing ☺️
Female surfer here, local to HB. I can tell you that MOST male surfers are like this. So happy go lucky and truly love the ocean. The ocean keeps us young ❤️Also my husband’s (also a surfer) favorite movie is surfs up too!
@Erika5 I’ve never experienced that here in HB or Newport, only on small days like 2-3ft is when I see some wave storms out there. I rarely see any paddle boarders though. Newport and HB aren’t really paddle board friendly due to the close shore breaks. I live near Brookhurst in HB and it’s only during weekends that it gets crowded but the crowds have been dwindling due to the weather slowly changing. Sometimes you just gotta shrug it off and enjoy just being in the water! Usually once I catch a wave or two when it’s crowded and the men around me see that I won’t bail a wave and I can actually surf down the line and compete they leave me alone. It’s all about sitting in the right spot when the crowds show up 😉
@@WilliamTravisIto What??? Most surfers are dirt poor lmao. Only the top percentile or surfers are actually financially well off. That’s like saying that all football players or actors are well off - only the top percentile of football plays and actors are actually well off. Everyone not in the top percentile are just scrapping by
I really wanted him to review "Soul Surfer" only because Bethany Hamilton actually did all of Anna Sophia's surf scenes in the movie so it'd be cool to see him review another pro surfer.
@Kylah Whitaker Nothing, but Hollywood does think there's something wrong with that. I was being sarcastic. Hollywood won't cast a good-looking, athletic Asian guy in a movie. Even if the original, real-life story was about an Asian guy or guys, like the movie '21' that was about a team of blackjack players that beat the casinos.
@@elijahhueston7588Thanks for pointing that out. That's good to know, but he will probably be part of an ensemble cast, diluting his impact. Like Steve Yeun in Walking Dead. If he's the true lead, that would indeed be a first, but they wouldn't even let Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee just be the lead, and they were already global stars. They always had to share the screen with a bunch of other co-stars. Like Jackie Can w/ Chris Tucker or Owen Wilson. In Chan's and Bruce Lee's Hong Kong movies, they went solo. Still, it's an improvement and we shall see how it plays out...
Ok but like The smile. The posture. The passion. The way he gesticulates. The confidence. The posture. The shoulders. The golden retriever energy. Did I mention the posture? The CHARISMA. This man has absolutely no business being this attractive. I’m literally in love with him
Most guys don't realize how big of a name this guy is in surfing. He placed 6th overall last year. This guy was also the youngest rookie in the world surf league in 2016 at just 18. He's the equivalent of a steph curry or a sugar ray robinson in surfing.
Just to inform you guys this man just won silver at the Tokyo Olympics so you know he’s legit. Also everyone on tiktok found him and are now simping over him
I've never surfed a day in my life, but I love watching competitions and surf movies...I cry every time a surfer catches a big wave, it's mortifying but I can't help it. There's something so primitive and peaceful about it. And I could watch Kanoa talk about surfing and surf movies for hours, he's so funny and engaging 💙🌊
It’s so refreshing to see someone like him on Vanity. He’s literally a fresh of breath air while being at the beach♥️ He literally is the click BAIT 😩🥰
I love it! This guy is personifying the low key, chill, just be happy Hawaiian & SoCal beach vibes and I’m here for it! Those saying he’s baked have clearly never been to the Hawaiian islands.
people who do the most dangerous things are the chillest of people
Because they need to be calm during dangerous situations

@@mosesdavis2852 yeaj
Interesting. My coworker is an adrenaline junky and parachutes a lot. And he's pretty chill
No tf
Based on this 11 minute video, I am professionally diagnosing Kanoa as the most wholesome person in the entire world.
Liface I’m glad we got a professional involved for this
@kanoaigarashi
lol, most surfers are, i don't know why they get a bad rap, all they want is a good wave.
LieFace is being easily manipulated by a smiley face ie. Another version of PokerFace
Literally! I love this guy now
This guy laughs a lot while explaining. He's having so much fun talking about his passion.
@kanoaigarashi
he is hot, I can't
anon anon lol...he’s not Hawaiian
It's like David dobrik
hes so happy :)
the guy when his friends are in the movie: "I haven't seen this yet"
Surf's up: "I've seen this like 10 times"
he said they played that scene 10 times😭
Surf's Up is legendary!
surfs up is the best surfing movie ever. i-m not going to debate it. and chasing mavericks...

And he’s like “I was just in Hawaii a couple hours ago” 😂
Lol
For real.
Really though!!
Life goals though
He proves that surfer dudes are the chillest dudes you can meet
Oh hello there again.
That's purely because most surfers are also stoners
Except in Huntington Beach here in Cali 🙄 lmao

Lol down to the smiling the whole time, laughing while talking, and the bro talking lolll

I've never heard of this guy before and I know nothing about surfing but he's MAD CUTE
You’d love Hawaii. He’s like off of a conveyor belt. Type Hawaii local boys. Same sweet personality and handsome.
I was literally gonna say that. I know of lots of pro surfers but didn’t know Kanoa. He’s my fave now haha he’s so wholesome
IKR LIKE HE HAD NO BUISNESS BEING THIS ATTRACTIVE
Born, Huntington Beach, Ca., USA. Parents are Japanese.
@Messy Angel no one cares what you think
don’t get me wrong this dude is attractive but this just proves how ur energy and vibe makes you 10x more attractive
This x1000000 I wish more guys understood that being laid back, cheerful and passionate about the things you love is literally the most attractive thing.
Ru a girl
His voice is so nasally
Are you implying that his appearance isn't that attractive?
No
Just so you know this guy right here is 6.º on the world ranking, beating Kelly Slater and John John Florence AND HE’S ONLY 22!
no way
JJF was injured and out for half the year. He was leading the tour before getting hurt last season. Kanoa is good, but he isn't top tier good.

Doesn’t take himself too seriously and just wants to have fun. That’s how we should all be!
it's a really good movie
to be fair, surfs up is really good and i feel like it captures the surfer feeling very well
yeah, people tend to brush off animated movie just because it's animated
Oof 666th like
Kanoa
Why is his smile so contagious. I'm smiling like an idiot while watching this
SAMEE
Cause he's hot
it's his eye smile. when he smiles so hard that his eyes close and turn into smiles like ^-^
Golden retriever energy
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THIS AS I WAS WATCHING IT LOL
This guy is exactly what I think about when someone says “surfer guy”
PUT HIS NAME IN THE TITLE YOU HEATHENS

Smiling, genuinely smiling

Talk about something you love and are talented/knowledgeable in.
It's because he is a surfer.
He just won a silver medal at Tokyo 2021 olympics, congrats well deserved
something about how his most insightful commentary was to a penguin surfing movie..... I LOVE HIM. and surfs up.
i really want to hear this guy say “DUUUDE”
He gives me such a big ‘boy next door’ vibes. The general statement. Not the movie. Lmao. Unless.. 😳

Met Kanoa and his brother recently, and they are both the kindest humans ever.
This guy is exactly what I thought a pro surfer would be like
I was literally going to say the same thing lol

Kanoa is a beast. And it's even more impressive that his local spot is Huntington Beach, one of the worst beach breaks in the world lol
I heard Cocoa Beach has some decent surfers and it's worse than Huntington. Say hi to Nate and Jon.
most beach breaks are trash, I’m sure he surfed san o and trestles a bunch as a kid since those are semi close to hb
*quickly drives to HB* 🚗
@@CharmingMountain See you space cowboy
Huntington Beach gets swells and gets 5-6 consistently. I’ve even traveled there just to check out a 15 foot swell. It’s really a decent break mate

So cute right?
Never seen him before but he's adorable oh man 😍
He's fine.
Now I am..

How is no one talking about his impeccable posture?!
it would be really sad if a world class athlete had bad posture
Impeccable how? One shoulder is higher than the other. You can tell that by the way the necklace stick out more on the right side

Why is this guy the exact stereotype of a surfer in my head
Except he’s asian and isn’t saying “braaAaahh”
Actually surfing is more popular in japan than in USA per capita.
J YC I mean he’s american too so like?
I haven't seen the video yet. I just want to say that I find him attractive. Sorry and thank you. That was my Ted talk.
kinda disappointed he didn’t say “gnarly” once :/

That'd be rad
gnarly wave stoked shred gnar
The fact they added “Surfs Up” is the funniest part.
