Watching that mama whale with her baby is one of my all time top bucket list items. Tears were streaming down my face as I swelled with emotion seeing what you guys were blessed to catch on camera. I am grateful for the opportunity to see it second hand and cannot wait for the day that I am able to see it first hand.
it was a truly beautiful episode...and the place hasn't changed much since 2007, i also had the privilege of sailing through there...i look forward to seeing some of the Mentawai Islands episodes...in 2024 or 2025..its even more beautiful, ..which is hard for a mind to comprehend..@@KatieParlayRevival
>>> Colin, U brought tears to my eyes while describing the best experience that anyone on water can have. How incredible that nature is learning to cohabitate with humans. I believe they are learning that we're not all bad. All we have to do is listen with our eyes.
If this wasn't the best episode so far it has to be up there. The power and skill of the pro comp was awesome and then shear peace and beauty of the mother whale and her calf blew me away. Then onto more skill and fun on the smaller waves, Christian and Niko were fantastic. Just amazing.
What an adventure ✨️ Colin in awl of the cool surfer champs - they said hello to us - 🤗😂 Amazing filming and editing, the most feel good, cool & enjoyable sailing channel by far.
Wow Colin. My surfing legends and seeing those humpbacks 🐋 in one vlog. Wow. Facing seen a couple of Blue Whales myself only last week, seeing these in person and in the water .... unrestricted.... must be truly like heaven. Makes you humble and blessed in one.
I didn't realize that I missed the surfing content from Costa Rica until today, more please. Along with everything else that is.😊 The swim with the whales was incredible. The interaction between them just epic. Happy sailing, Parlay crew.
What a sick episode! Way to mix up the content. The production quality / videography is next level. I've always wanted to go to a big wave spot in person and my wife's dream is to swim with whales in the wild (she says whale sharks don't count, lol). This was some real bucket list stuff. Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you guys 🤙
Congrats Colin on finally achieving the dream and taking Parley to these great surf spots. After all the work and rebuilds and rerigging and rewiring painting and fiberglassing you have finally got there. Kudos to you and your crew bro. 🐟 😁
This was epic, one of the very best! I may say that every now and then , but it’s because each one is better than the one before…..This one was so exciting and so well edited that I just couldn’t believe it was over so fast!! Actually, it was so good that it just seemed that way. Everyone was so impressive, especially the 14 year old! Wow! Thanks for all you do! ❤
Wow!!! This was an insane episode and the cinematography of this video I think is the best you have ever done. What an amazing experience to have had with the surfing competition and then the whale and calf encounter. Wow, wow, wow!! Happy new year to you Colin and Jamie and the entire crew.
Wow, what an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the WSL surf comp in Tahiti! Episode 242 is truly top-notch, just like a professional documentary. The footage, editing, and storytelling are incredible. Colin, thank you for giving us the best trip of our lives. The waves, the whales, and your pure joy are epic! Can't wait to see what adventure awaits in the next episode! Keep up the amazing work! 🌊🐳📹😄
I have a house on Big Pine Key and Irma's eye blew my island to pieces. We got lucky and so many didn't. The video gave me goosebumps. Living the dream!
This was the most amazing episode! Midwestern USA born surf fan and I remember watching Laird ride that wave in step into liquid. Amazing and one of the first times I’ve truly wished I could jump into the screen with you all. Awesome!!!
That is so SWEET you got to do this life long dream ticked off. I would have been star struck also Colin What a trip with the whales was such a BONUS Totally unashamedly jealous ATM .No regrets
The waves were frightening, the mother and her calf brought tears to my eyes, and your joy witnessing them Colin was just beautiful. 2023 for you guys was amazing, not sure how you can top that in 2024! But I'm sure you'll try.
I would be the one getting my melon smacked on that coral. I love watching people with more skill that I ever can have surfing and wonder how and where that skill came from. Kudos to the professional surfers, and kudos to the competitors.
Well, after years of followi g this channel, a few damaged boats repaired, parley is on its way to circumnavigate the planet...congratulations! I know we dont share this sentiment, but i miss the days of construction, fiberglassing and building. Good luck in all your travels parlay!
Content, photography and editing was truly professional as these World surfers take on the challenge of Tahiti. The knife edge coral reef only meters from these awesome waves is our biggest concern, massive power and undertows of these monsters, as these champion surfers brave the elements. Awesome footage Colin, just amazing!
This video was so calming and inspirational that I almost have no words. Who else was waiting for Nicco to slice those waves? You could tell he was itching to get in that water. Best wishes to Christian in the Olympics.
Stoked YEW...❤ Slats and many others autographed the visitor board when they shopped in our village bakery; owned by a member of our local Boardrider club. Every grom in our club felt respect😊 what goes around comes around😘🌏🇦🇺
OMG another bloody awesome video. Colin I can feel your smile and energy thru the telly after surfing. The whale experience made me cry been a Mum and seeing mama whale trust you to be so close 🥰☯️. I’m so greedy and thirsty for you content I wait till I have two or three episodes to binge at once. Thank you so much for keeping my world alive and exciting even if it is vicariously. Love this shite man keep it coming.🐾💕
All I can say is WoW! Goosebumps upon goosebumps seeing the legends work their magic up close and then to follow in their wake to try it out for yourselves seriously goosebumps upon goosebumps 🙌🏻
Surfing was epic, but even Kelly wishes he was sailing with you guys seeing those whales... we're ALL envious of that experience ! You ARE living the dream !
Fantastic. I hope you get more moments like this and think back to the months of repairs, sanding, fairing, and laying up fibreglass. You guys probably appreciate these kind of episodes more than anyone.
Been following you guys for years because you are surfers. So cool you got to go there again and see the contest. I am sure those wave faces look bigger in real life over shallow reef. To many more world class waves on your travels. Back in the beginning of Parlay I also started watching you because you had our Tower ISUP, my buddy owns the company in San Diego and I probably shipped your board to you or sold it to you at a boat show in FL. Thanks for the purchase back in the day. Ray.
Wow, what a week of dreams come true for the crew and friends. Great video and editing making this episode one to remember. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings for all and Parlay Revival.
Dear Colin, Jamie and crew on Parlay, I’m not a patreon but have been following you since the Pandemic when the shit hit the fan on your adventure and you ended up rebuilding Parlay. I was fascinated by the process you , Jamie and friends went through to reach this point today. It occurred to me that all that hardship has made this time when you guys are enjoying the fruits of your hard work even more special. It reminds me how set backs and curve balls in life are the making of us and they are inevitable and without them there are no high points on this roller coaster of a life. All the best for you and your extended family jcb
Epic episode guy's i am not really into surfing but that was mind blowing. Soooo happy that you got to see that close up. Well done Parlay . Your filming was up there with the best i have seen . 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great capture from a realistic coverage. Thanks for taking us there. This puts the weight of Tahiti waters and the calibre of the world's best surfers into clear perspective. Wow!
AWESOME AWESOME VIDEO!! BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR! Thank you for taking me along for something I may never be able to see in real life but what an adventure I could only imagine.❤❤
Bet that was worth the price of every bulk head or fibre glass repair they have ever done or ever will do in the future. Sunning content, the surfing the whales the water…. Amazing
After getting a foot of snow here in Boston today, this was a great armchair escape. As always, great storytelling and even greater videography! Can’t wait for more of your adventures!
The team but together one of the best videos yet even when I did not think anything could top the crossing. Bravo! This episode touched me like a dream turned reality. I've been following this location since "Oh My God" wave with Larid Hamilton on the cover of Surfer Magazine in 2000. And the whale encounter, you kidding me! Drop the mic guys.🎤
Thank you colin for the best trip of my life ❤
That looked pretty great Christian. Glad you guys had such a good experience.
You have such great spirit my man !
@@thiscostaricanlife3211 thank you 💕
@@tonyt8950 thank you 💕

The production on this episode was as good as any professional documentary I have ever seen. Incredible footage, editing and storytelling.
Well said and i so agree Rob
Thanks for that Rob! Colin and Britt are sooo talented 🙌🏼
Agree, totally pro but also and very importantly completely sincere and on point with the ethos of the channel.
I couldn’t agree more. This channel gets better and better with their productions. Music choices are also tops!
I agree!!
Watching that mama whale with her baby is one of my all time top bucket list items. Tears were streaming down my face as I swelled with emotion seeing what you guys were blessed to catch on camera. I am grateful for the opportunity to see it second hand and cannot wait for the day that I am able to see it first hand.
It was definitely a bucket list item for all of us too! Such an incredible experience!
@@KatieParlayRevival couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people :) I'm really happy for you guys :)
Content, narrating, production quality, choice of music all stood out in this episode. And the epic sunshine and clear water didn't hurt.
Thanks so much!
it was a truly beautiful episode...and the place hasn't changed much since 2007, i also had the privilege of sailing through there...i look forward to seeing some of the Mentawai Islands episodes...in 2024 or 2025..its even more beautiful, ..which is hard for a mind to comprehend..@@KatieParlayRevival
Colin and Jamie, you are changing people's lives. You have opened up the free spirit in everyone and dared us to dream.
Epic episode! The waves, the whales, and Colin's pure joy! Great job Parlay!!
Thank you!

Crazy you know Christian boos. I live here in CR I know him as well. Surfed with him a few times in different places around here.
Love when you invite people that truly appreciate good things.Great episode Colin. Cheers to 24.

This video was out of this world🤯
Probably the best day that anyone has ever spent on earth❤
The whales brought me to tears! Absolutely beautiful. What amazing footage in this episode. ❤️
Three levels of surfing, from amateurs to pro. Great weather, plus some unexpected close-up whale watching. Epic, mind blowing. Really great video.
I love it specially having a Costarican surfer make proud pura vida thank you Colin
Wow ! Great episode. The mamma and her calf made my day - perhaps my month.
The most incredible gentle giants 💙

As a fellow surfer since the mid 1960's this was one of my favorite episodes; very groovy.
JUST CAUGHT UP LAST 3 VIDS, BRILLIANT TO BACK IN THE SAILING HEADSPACE DREAMER AGAIN, RESPECT TO COLIN AND YIR TROOPS. , #SCOTLAND
Wicked guy’s so much respect. You give an old traveler so much pleasure bringing us along. Peace & Love. See you out there!
Thanks Oliver! Xx
That is so SWEET you got to do this life long dream ticked off. I would have been star struck also Colin What a trip with the whales was such a BONUS Totally unashamedly jealous ATM .No regrets
The waves were frightening, the mother and her calf brought tears to my eyes, and your joy witnessing them Colin was just beautiful. 2023 for you guys was amazing, not sure how you can top that in 2024! But I'm sure you'll try.

You Colin's bring so many folks to different places around this world. Some of us will never experience it So thank you and to all the crew members. .
He sure does! Getting to sail on Parlay with Colin and visit these amazing countries is such a blessing! Thanks for watching 😊
Content, photography and editing was truly professional as these World surfers take on the challenge of Tahiti.

🤯 When your bucket list gets smashed by 🐳🐳.
2024 🍻
Love, love, loved the whale footage! Awesome surfing on those powerful waves. I loved seeing the surfers upside down inside the tubes.
So sick Boos and Nico! What a dream!
Gotta be one of the most visually dramatic episodes ever. The whale and surfer footage was just utterly breathtaking, incredible.
All those outboards idling away , Ah the serenity ! 😂
Stoked YEW...❤ Slats and many others autographed the visitor board when they shopped in our village bakery;
owned by a member of our local Boardrider club. Every grom in our club felt respect😊 what goes around comes around😘🌏🇦🇺
Outrageous Camara views. The best I have seen on UA-cam. The whale was breathtaking. Something I have not seen yet!!!

Best episode, hands down! I wish you would do more episodes where you include surfing.
