No lie, I respect that old dude doing push ups.

[@jacksonpaul7908]

nah he’s just being a puss

[@C.Hawkshaw]

He’s not old, he’s 37.

[@dontbugme7362]

@@C.Hawkshaw right?!?! what am i at 60+?

[@jyegoncalves3296]

Listen man, I can tell you’re lying, why even bother lying about that

[@williamchristian8705]

My hangout since 1970. I was 14 and rode my gold stingray with a belly board under my arm. About 10 miles each way. I still hit there about 40-50 times a year. At 65 I still feel young there. I love looking at the surfers and bikes. See old friends I run into. Great times.

[@jacklucas4665]

"4/3" at Huntington in June, me while I'm in boardshorts surfing terrible north eastern waves.

[@darkrepolsure2909]

Lol, I live here and gotta say - Youre invited if you get a ticket out here

[@billbouldin2969]

Swell Angle and the Catalina Island formation make some spots fire and others not.

[@user-dg4bh1mm7t]

Also Huntington Beach seems to get better with a combo of south and west swells

[@DH-wr7rw]

They don't call it surf city for nothing...

[@tommyhofer1176]

also Huntington Beach has a really wide open swell window and picks up swells from nearly every direction

[@emick3326]

The water out here is totally warm enough for a springsuit or boardies a 4/3 sounds like torture

[@elewalks]

Hi my new friend so interesting videos thanks for sharing

[@outoftime7740]

Lots of sting rays plant themselves in the sand, right on the shore. So make sure you move and wiggle your feet with each step. A couple people I know in Huntington, stepped on them and it wasn't pretty.

[@hewonyew]

How come you get to paddle out and get waves in Cali, but if I try to paddle out and get waves at Pipe, I get pulvarized by da hooey?

[@blownkisses3620]

HB always gets waves. It gets all angles. Stoked to see you out there 🤙🤙

[@hgfs6479]

Next time hit up TK burger they make rad burgers

[@stuffedrucksack1956]

Koa’s videos are the highest quality of any surf vlog. No fillers, no bs, just good content.

[@DH-wr7rw]

I was going to warn you about the crowd but I guess if you can handle the crowd at Pipe you can handle the crowd a HB. Great vidio!

[@robertpina99]

Maybe every Wednesday should be Taco Tuesday on this channel. Love the footage, the B roll, and the family grom vibe. It says so much about your character that you're kind to onlookers and fans.

[@troycote2724]

Nice!! HB Oiler for life!! Always consistent, never great.

[@michaeldoti9246]

Yeah Koa so sick seeing you out there yesterday!!

[@AE-hz1hm]

right on! Great way to start a Wednesday 🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼

[@mikewatson8198]

I'm the same way with dirty wax haha! My ocd kicks in ;) that board looks so krip. I wanna breadstick. 5'10 u got used ones?

[@hillandrewdavid]

Huntington is a swell magnet due to the offshore underwater channels.....it's always a little bit bigger from Huntington St up to 17th. One of the surfline forecasters did a whole surfline article about it.

[@blueagle3000]

So good to see Hawaiian Royalty at my home break HB. Thx4 the positive vibes brada Koa

[@funwithjim]

When the map says flat, Huntington is where it's at! Lol! I feel surfers need to wear more GOLD.

[@brba1325]

Good call. There were waves in El Porto, but the corners looked better at HP Pier. Ventura County Line looked fun.

[@derekk897]

Always enjoy Jack's music selection! Thanks you two!

[@paulstanek3542]

Hey, check out Mugu rock, Just an idea you would enjoy while in Cal!

[@rocknjock9300]

I’ve had that dream were I couldn’t stand up surfing.

[@karenbendtsen8335]

isn't that a quiksilver sticker? pretty sure they make 3/2 wetsuits.

[@martybeidleman3027]

6:32 who saw the chick in the thong walking behind Koa? Hell yea! 😀🤗

[@civilsocietyprivateinteres1711]

Hb sucks man, grew up there, terrible place to live.

[@whatawonderful4749]

My surfing dream is always that I'm going to get my wetsuit and it takes me forever and by the time I'm ready to surf it gets dark or the waves are bad.

[@derek4384]

Had this same dream

[@kittysmalls4602]

Or someone, or something, prevents you from getting out. 100% relatable

[@GrantEllman]

Come to Sea Legs at the beach on Sunday for some live Reggae music doors at 2pm! I’m playing

[@joedirt8625]

H.B Hop. Looking Fun.

[@petertrout8140]

Keep ripping Koa, glad to see the neck/back is doing so much better!!! Back crap ended my surfing career long ago….. living the dream through your videos and from others on the islands!!! And with. The surf, it must be a south swell, so the northern spots aren’t firing? Try Salt Creek!

[@austingaffey5105]

What board are you riding here/Newport

[@kniemi21]

HB is full of people like the old dude busting out pushups. There’s a 60+ year old dude who runs shirtless on the beach every morning during my dawn patrol missions, pre 6AM. Even during winter, dude never has a tarp 👕 on.

[@SureHaveBeenDrinkin]

Island shadowing kills a bunch of so cal spots

[@patrickblackburn2880]

Letssssss go! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@theprettycitykitty9302]

Miss my place right across from the pier. Great times!! Have fun! I've loc'd out at that exact spot before. Lol!! Fun fact: My name of Koa too!! Rescued from the streets of Oahu. 🤙

[@luccafelsmann6133]

Koa in my home break?!?!!?!!? What!!! Tell me your still surfing at Huntington still😁

[@UchiNoTabi]

You play so smooth koa 👍🏽

[@o0GrayMatters0o]

somewhere in the early 90's me and my friend would watch the channel 3 broadcast to get pumped the night before waking up really early to bmx out to south side in front of jacks to sponge. at the end of the day jacks would hook us up with nacho's for sweeping and cleaning up a bit. i think we went on a steady like 10 day streak... hb since 88

[@JenovaImproved]

As someone who surfed here every day this week.. gotta disagree. Waves were absolute dogcrap lol just dumping instantly with no faces. Yesterday was decent tho.

[@5635randy]

Huntington always has waves I grew up surfing Huntington lived 2 blocks from pier. Salt was another always had.

[@sabrinashort2999]

May God bless you in the water. By the way you have stunning eyes. This video makes me want to get to the beach ASAP. Tried to go last week but the weather was too cold for my liking. I’m not brave enough to surf so I need it pretty warm in the water. And yes wetsuits are a pain in the you know what!!

[@jimmyfranks8854]

Used to live off Adam's and PCH, miss surfing all up and down the coast, San Clemente to Seal Beach and of course right out my door in Huntington, thanks for the videos!

[@kawikadee9670]

I heard there's lots of bums now.

[@jazminevers3804]

Ya Koa! Good to see you in HB, I bartend here at Sandys (where you parked), next time come in and I'll take care of your drinks for you guys.

[@clintoncooke4805]

Bro...great 2 c back ripping,hope necks good ,looking forward 2 c u at pipe in winter....🤙🇳🇿

[@mitchellgoosen9166]

Hi, Koa, if you’re still in California you think you’ll be checking out the Ventura area? Suppose to be nice waves next week.

[@middleagedshred]

man..I wonder how much more energy I would have if I didnt use a 6.5mm wetsuit

[@benrima6152]

The one day i don’t go to HB you go

[@ericfox2161]

Thanks for great videos!! Living Northeast Florida been a little bummer but these videos help get through the flat spells. Again thanks!

[@jarenisham5081]

Catalina island along with San Clemente island block most spots depending on the angle of the swell. Also Huntington draws a lot of ground swell. Come surf blacks in San Diego always firing and a good run of swell right now

[@WastefulMedia]

so jokes some dudes are wearing wetsuits and boots, in the uk we're bootless with 4.3's and its still freezing here

[@stevenp3550]

cool video man! are you from Hawaii?

[@zfr33ze87]

Hey Koa, thanks for all the great content. It's cool to see you at HB where I visit a lot. I was wondering if you were going to be there or somewhere in SoCal on August 8th or that week. Thanks.

[@tommydrifter333]

Just DM'd the Huntington Beach Badboy

New tune SALTY DAYS ... and a dickpic

[@paulstanek3542]

We call it Island block, Depends on swell and direction!, Have fun, enjoy and keep on ripping!

[@stephenwolfram356]

Wax combs don't work as well as a cap off a water bottle. I would die of heat stroke in a 4/3 LOL

[@lonnievanhorn6732]

My home break. I've seen rifling barrels here. Current wouldn't let hardly anyone out but it exists haha

[@samsterronie]

Nice, I rock a 4/3 in the heart of June too, I even throw in some booties for added measures. Is it a bit too much? maybe, but it makes me happy haha
