[@ekejma]

Koa's insane that impact zone scene was for the ages. So much respect for the watermanship these guys have.

[@KoaRothman]

it was so brutal getting caught right there haha

[@lnr12241]

I don't know how they survive all those massive waves just drilling them over and over. That last one was massive and HEAVY. Man that looks brutal. The shape they must be in. . . . Insane

[@AnimeDimension]

I surf too and is really hard survive to goog waves when is big and constant the swell

Mad respect koa, getting caught inside like that would send most to the hospital. You r a true warrior!

[@bbwvelvet]

Love seeing how stoked you are for this time of year! It also makes me understand the hardcore workouts you put yrself through for moments like that. Great job. thanks Koa and Jack!

[@KoaRothman]

Thank you for the support!

[@6pointstar]

So gnarly Koa! Go glad you are OK. Stay safe. Huge props for the dangers you face out there.

[@danielhutchinson6158]

Thank you Koa. Grateful.

[@AFunari369]

Way to Koa! Lookin sick bro! Love ya and thx for putting out wicked vids💯💯🌍🌍

[@jonb6322]

The first wave looked pretty epic to me.

[@jalec-5343]

Too bad it can't be used for wave of the winter. He was soo pitted

[@KoaRothman]

It really was!

[@storm2000808]

That first barrel, man you were so deep, I didn't think you were coming out! 👍

[@skinrat81374]

Strong start to the winter, Koa explaining to his “following” that 6’6 refers to board size and that sitch stands for situation is comedy gold 😂

[@andymurday4538]

The colour grading on the surfing parts of the video are just awesome!!!

[@jonathansherman988]

That sandbar wave was terrifying! Uhm, I’m glad you lived, that was gnarly. Thanks for sharing.

[@KoaRothman]

It was so bad haha

[@dojahman]

His leash isnt broken, but his spirit might be. 😂

[@donaldwilson5693]

Great video! A lot of very different and unique POV's not seen in other surfing videos.

[@colokush]

my homie and i were laughing so hard at that double up monster landing right on your head. glad you and the board made it out in one piece. we're stoked to see more pipe clips this winter

[@KoaRothman]

Yeah that thing was crazy!

[@tetedur377]

My favorite board for a long time was an old G&S 7'10" - so, kind of a mid board. That thing was freakin' heavy, though. It was probably 2" thick, and baby, it hurt when I'd get tumbled. It was also a single skeg, from before they started going to 2 and 3 fins. That thing would take a beating though. I probably spent almost as much time with Solarez as I did with Killer Bees Wax. I liked the smell, what can I say? I gave all my boards to my sister when I moved out of So Cal. Still miss it, but closing in on 70, with a couple of gnarly motorcycle accidents under my belt (the last about a month after I turned 65), kind of slows a guy down a bit. Rock on.

[@timr672]

thank you for showing the paddle at 8:30! helps us visualize a bit better how intense and competitive it is out there.

[@KoaRothman]

no problem! stoked you liked it!

Good to see you caught a few nice ones...the rest of the session looked like an absolute beat down. That place sure makes one earn it.

[@KoaRothman]

It was a giant beat down of a session

[@rio4fun]

Big respect! The waves were insane 🔥 🙌

[@KoaRothman]

That back wash was epic,glad your ok.

[@tommathews3964]

Worked! Dammit man! I gave you up for dead on that one at around 7:45, but you blasted out with the spit! Mad respect for you guys!!

[@OD99C]

The worst is you get held down, come up, thinking you'll get air, instead drink a bunch of water and get held down again by the next wave, that's when you can only pray.

[@DaveControlLive]

I just got caught in a 3-wave impact zone beat down over the weekend when it was double-overhead, and that felt like a nightmare. I can’t even imagine how terrifying triple that size would be. Plus knowing a sharp reef is beneath you? Damn dude.

[@Town_Country96]

You could have been 1 and done with that first wave Koa, that was a 10 point ride🤙

[@KoaRothman]

Probably shoulda just came in after that haha

[@wcc1212]

Another epic vid. The only disappointing part---no paddle out! Yes, I am hooked on the epic paddle outs. 😄 That crowd looked a little small, early winter? Was that mostly the local crowd? Just curious.

[@morgandaviesmusic.]

Holy moley, smoked! Can't believe you popped up so quick after that mutant sandbar double-up tho. Rogue sets, extreme

[@jkm3297]

always loved my 6'8" Maurice Cole back in the day

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent vid! I cringed when you took that sandbar wave on the head.

[@largemouthbassfundamentals8669]

I got a killer screen grab of that doubled up wave with you caught inside. Centerfold quality

[@EweCantHandletheTruth]

Need to get a board made with “this is livin” inscribed on the rails. Nothing too gaudy though…that sandbar wave was beastly

[@jennifuzz3316]

"2 inches makes a big difference "...😂 That's what she said🎉❤

[@DeadSezSo]

Yo that yellow board is sick af dude!!

[@conorlinehan4434]

Could you consider doing areal shots like at the very end and explaining positioning pending the different swell sizes, relatively speaking of course.

Awesome footage and edit, once again Koa! The next breadstick model needs to be named 'Wonder" ......eh?! The Wonder Breadstick - Sponsored by North Shores most popular bread and breadstick maker: Pyzel & Wonder Bread *assuming you even have that kind of bread over there....

We were there on Saturday and it was so awesome to see in person! Saw Eli Olson on the beach too. Love your videos.... Aloha.

@@EweCantHandletheTruth Lol ... Yes! They are even more intimidating in person but so fun to watch the professionals out there, as they make it look so easy!

[@jaybleu6169]

@@EweCantHandletheTruth More so. The impact of the waves rattles your soul, even when you're just standing on the beach.

[@EweCantHandletheTruth]

@@jaybleu6169 ya I’m somewhat familiar with the feeling. Spent a couple of months in Puerto Escondido and there was a week of good 15-20’ days. Was staying right across the street from their Pipeline and it was LOUD. Video gives the impression that the real Pipeline is within shouting distance to those surfing.

[@jaybleu6169]

@@EweCantHandletheTruth Yeah, if not for the noise of the waves, they could probably hear you at that distance. I'm pretty sure the paddle out at Waikiki is longer (though much less dangerous).

Yah koa, first barrel was flicking insane. Super deep then punched out last minute, like what. Heavy session caught inside, damb.

[@silva__surfer]

so , like how violent was that sandbar wave on the head?...wish u described it more in depth...lol...i was surfing 7th hole one time, was like 3-4 hawaiian, and a clean up set landed right on my head, closest ive come to blacking out, got sent to the reef, chest cut up, broken board. just trying to fathom what that wave must have felt like...gave me flashbacks

Jeezzzz.. right on the head. Is there drone footage of that. 😮😮😮

[@grelch]

On the slo mo of the 40' wave at the 14:15 mark, it looked like a smaller wave rose up right in front of the big wave as it was breaking. Koa got crunched by 2 waves at once.

[@KoaRothman]

it was the back wash that hit it and made it stand up like that

[@joeblow1942]

7:35 Whoa, dude! 🤙🏼🏄🏻‍♂️

[@myauramusic]

That backwash beatdown with live commentary was one of the gnarliest things i've seen 9:31 triple beatdown. Must of looked like a mountain from Koa's view
