    Also the moment you said "what if we got a ton of fuel" I knew that scene immediately.
    But dude I'm stoked you got to see it in action. That Wednesday was pretty out of control, bout as big as it gets and surf able... hopefully next time you can get a more "normal" big day with more opportunity. Oh ya, and bring some bigger boards next time ;) hahaha. Amped to have you and Jack along for the ride.

      from a pilot's perspective it's pretty god damn annoying when you let whoever you're working with know the parameters of what you can do, and with zero experience or knowledge of aviation they start pulling what-if's out of their ass. That's when you tell them gern' get fucked

    Koa, thank you for taking the time to come from Hawaii to bless our shores with your visit. The OBX is a special place to us and you got it on an unusually big swell. Bigger than most east coasters would dare to even tackle. Your kindness and compliments mean everything to us locals. Please come back and bring lots of friends. We need more Aloha. Thank you!

    Many years ago, I began surfing the Jersey Shore...I made a lot of trips up & down the East Coast & I always really loved surfing The Outer Banks...then, I started taking a lot of surf trips to California...eventually, all of my vacation time was spent surfing in Hawai'i...so, I finally moved to The Big Island & I went back to school at University of Hawai'i at Hilo, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing many years ago...I married a beautiful Native Hawaiian Wahine...I live in San Diego now...it's so cool to see Koa traveling to all these different places & having so much fun...he is an incredibly gifted surfer & a really solid Ambassador for the Hawaiian people...Aloha, Bill

    So cool to see a video from Koa on the East Coast.
    FWIW: I think Koa said something to the effect of "people live here" regarding the ocean front houses that had over wash. For the most part, this isn't quite the case. Almost 100% of the oceanside houses in this area are weekly or nightly vacation rentals. When the forecast predicts a storm surge or super tide that causes flooding like this, they almost always have a mandatory evacuation for non-residents of the island. So most of these houses are completely empty when this happens. It isn't unheard of though for vacationers or residents to not heed the warnings, or the forecast be off, and some cars to get flooded though.

As Koa asked in a recent Lower Trestles video: "What are surfers thinking?" Awesome! They're just chasing the waves!

      I’d love to surf there on the big days, only been there once coming from garden city sc, and the swell was 2x bigger then anticipated right after a ice storm and we couldn’t even make the paddle out. I’m currently trying to push myself to become a better surfer physically and mentally an paddling out on the big days I’m capable of just recently I finally made a paddle out on some 6-8ft faces with a close buddy at surf city NC, we were thinking about to taking another trip to the banks soon after we build some more confidence to comfortably take those beatings.

Before I got my lic and If couldn’t get a ride to either s turns before rodanthe or down to buxton/hatterasb/fisco I used to hitch hike with my board and few other non licensed friends to surf down there. So much fun had in obx. Still live their but now live on the island between nags head and mainland. Bad thing is I haven’t surfed or even been in the ocean for years now since got hurt and became paralyzed waist down, but watching surf videos always make me happy and jones for the good ole days.

Herbie and John Fletcher lived across the driveway from us. Bob Stay, Wolf Man cut everyone’s hair. He could only cut hair one way. So everyone had the same hair cut. It was cool back then. Now I have no hair and that’s cool too. Regards and Blessings. HJ.
