Koa - Thank you for your coverage of Durbs and for mentioning the raising of funds for the relief work being done.
From a fellow Smith born and raised in Durban.
Sick.. but we need the 3 Bros back..let’s go back to the Sunrise shack, sick sesh, and some meditation, tie die and great food lol
You guys should come down to East London to surf Nahoon Reef
Yes your in Durban
3:19 the drop in and turn is mental
Thank you for talking about the riots! Love that you surfed all of my fav spots! Sending good vibes from SA
Love the travel lifestyle parts of the episodes not taking anything away from the surfing which in itself is top quartile !
This is the gold standard of surfing vlogs on the net !....and the humour is hilarious
Speak up, friend from afar, just good! I'm your fan! You are the man! I really like your videos, please follow me too! My name is: Rubenn Dean Paul Alws "Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro" Brazil! May God bless you a lot, including your family! We are together man!
Thank you for bringing awareness to the Looting protests. So stoked you got to experience my home town of Ballito 😁❤️
Same, I also live in ballito. Love seeing Koa there!
Can you come to the big island koa?
Try get to Margate, there are some sick slabs that side..............
I can’t believe it!?? We stay here in Kwazulu-Natal near Durbam... We are farmers! I’m so psyched on your blogs and have been a loving sub for ever!🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼Peace and love from South Africa!🇿🇦
I meant Durban and vlogs of course
The social dynamics aspect and the environmental consciousness is definitely appropriate and appreciated
Terrific footage as usual in this series! So sorry about the civil unrest in Durban :-(..... but glad you got out safely.
shout out to the camera man who is filming while the waves are firing🔥
What a wild time to come to SA?! Thank you for bringing attention to the riots and mining on the west coast. Hopefully more international exposure can help prevent such situations from arising.
Hawaii isn't exactly a tame place compared to "WILD" South Africa...
Bota not Botha, the H is silent :) very cool bru, was wondering if you guys did Durban. Thanks for these vids, helping me with my homesickness
Koa my word you ghys are jjst pumping out there! Awesome to see you guys at South Africa! When u guys come back to Jeff bay maybe surf a bit Victoria bay and maybe at cape town! Let us viewers know when u back! Hope to see u guys pumping again in South Africa!
So great watching you surf Koa, you an inspiration to humanity can't forget your awesome humble brothers too. Should come over to New Zealand such EPIC surf here especially the uncrowded secret squirrel spots plus its just paradise...Yeow! 🤙🙌
I love watching surf videos. I can't swim so I wouldn't be trying it, but I like watching you doing it. Stay blessed 💙💜🏴
Random question what do you guys use for your ice bath? Need a DIY situation cause I am not dropping racks on a “plunge”. Enjoy the day 🤙
So sick Koa, Been following your Africa Journey sense the beginning and every time I see a new Vlog pop up I get so stoked ! This one was so sick but so heavy at the same time. To see how beautiful and calming and killer that place is and then 3 days later chaos breaks out was so gnarly ! On a happier Note can’t wait for the next Vlog keep doing your thing man we love it ! Aloha from California shoots Koa Yewww 🤙🏼
Where’s the Transkei video, bru?! I check you were there on Insta. Psyched to see my local spots 🤙
Excellent vlog... I saw the riots on the new... you are so lucky or blessed to leave 3 days before the shtf... carry on ....
Entertaining... love your videos... Good job guys !!!
Yo everyone talking about the places but man this dude just nearly got sucked by a giant octopus and he just vibing man

Surfed there at winter a couple years back. Had a blast!!
Where there's dolphins , generally, there's no sharks, I'm going out there
you went to durban and got no cave rock time...man wrong timing, you'd a had the best sess..
Get pumped! Get psyched! Get stoked!

This is such a good edit, great humour, appreciation, and waves. Raising awareness, too, with the sobering end to your fun visit to nature's playground in SA. Well played Koa and team. (I know I'm a year behind with this)
Would be cool if you did a video of you long boarding!! 🏄♀️🏄♀️
so sick seeing you surf our local spots! wish I could've seen you in the water
Your style just keeps getting better and better!
I live in Durban and never find these conditions you guys are lucky

Ocean coachella is probably one of the events that i need to really think about for the second time if i want to attend it

I love how these owes come here and see all this shit that I haven’t seen once and i live here
031 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yewww!!!!!!!!1

5th to comment 9th to like
Your Ice bath sauna deal took me back in time....1970....Pops & his bros construction company was building a Mobile Home Park in Porterville....Mission Bell.. for their own investment..I worked that summer for them 110 hot days...after work and on Sundays I'd sit in the sauna at the clubhouse then go out and jump in the big cold pool...very refreshing...thanks for the memory flashback..
Can't go wrong with a good durban mission!
Second break was kraken!
99 luft.
Was rad to have you guys in town 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Steve O is surfing now wtf!!??
There are great rewards for great risks
yayyyy
Wow I was just in Durban yesterday surfing for the first time. Great footage!! I've recently posted a Video on surfing too, let me know what you think 👆❤️
Wicked edit, visit us again 🇿🇦
hahahahaha the octopus story, so funny
Yuew 🤤
So excited to watch Koa Smith surf in the Kelly Slater TV show called the Ultimate Surfer! Best of luck Koa! I'm rooting for you! Excited to see what happens!
Koa it's looking great
Heyyyyyynoooooooo lakkka!!!
🔥🔥🚀🌕✨
Tongaat river Koa, just in case the guys back home think you cropped the croc in. There’s a croc farm nearby so that one probably snuck out for a little solitude on the bank. Stoked you mapped one of the best places on the planet to be that time of year.
3:48ishhhh ridiculous
Thank you for another great vlog from you SA trip. Aside from the waves, I am equally impressed and drawn to that region for the plants, particularly the aloes and at 7:14 there is an amazing shot of some of SA's famed tree aloes in bloom. So grateful for sharing your experience with us Koa, much love and thanks from the central coast of california.
First spot- the sand isn’t really working ME- those waves are awesome where are u going?
3:20 What. A. Turn.
Amazing guys!
Hi l live in Durban
Super cool footage! Glad you guys missed the riots....scary business.
1:34 Travis....?
Nice.
dude that was awsome!
soooooo sick ! glad u came to the mother land bruu hopefullyy next time we will meet yeeewwwww
Thanks for the support you have given South Africa!
I hope you recover from the octopus attack! Vicious!
I would say South Africa prob not the safest place right now with my brothas and Sista’s uprising and rioting out there ay bru.. stay safe in my motherland
And I would say you dont know anything about South Africa bru...riots are over it was a flash in the pan thing by your brothas and sistas
Hurley should really make you a pro model of board shorts
Ahhh your stoked again 😡
Little too dramatic at the end there Koa...it was no worse than what happens in the States. Anyone reading this be careful who and what you go fund and make sure you know where every penny goes, especially in South Africa
What you smoking? Do a bit of homework before you make stupid comments about something you know nothing about...
@@rosstheboss1294 hey Ross, don't stigmatize the electric spinach :)
3:42 really looks like pipe
this video was next level!
Does he gives hearts ?
Savages absolute savages
Lekka stuff boet! ❤️
such an epic video
Magical place
fiyaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
My home town :)
Awesome trip
Sick
"5 feet" he must be around 2'3 if the face of the wave is 3 feet over his head.
5ft Haw is 2-5 ft overhead or 8-10ft faces. I don’t condone this style of measurement. It confusing and pressures
@@gwall4603 Yeah that just doesn't make even a little bit of sense. 8-10ft faces that's literally twice the size of 5ft. Nothing about those waves are "maybe five foot" I've been surfing for 25 years, something ill never understand why people do.
