I was kicked out of this surf spot by locals for filming

[@andrewwyton539]

So Australians dished you a Hawaiian meal and served it to you, and you’re acting like you can’t understand it. This is the culture you and your family created brah. This is just some of that global Aloha coming back to you

[@chipotle9223]

Facts, the hypocrisy is crazy

[@1964vintage]

Koa you’re welcome to surf and film here as often as you like mate 👍 My family and I have been surfing the area for 4 generations. We have been in the surfboard industry since 1959 and respect everyone’s right to enjoy the surfing lifestyle. I’m your dad’s age with a couple of sons about your age. First paddled out there in the late 70’s with my old man who’s been surfing there from the 60’s. It may only break a handful of times a year but has been filmed and appeared in magazines for decades. And yes at times described as a ‘secret spot’ but completely accessible by Aussie standards. I have no idea who wrote that disrespectful sign but obviously they have no idea what surfing means. Natures waves are free for everyone and there’s no such thing as filming restrictions in nature.

[@blackdog2006]

These are your rules bro. In fact,, according to you, they don’t even need to let you have any good waves because they are locals and you are not. Just another reason why we all need to try to be nicer to each other out there. #ShowRespectGetRespect

It’s relatable for sure, but if the spots already exposed doesn’t make much difference

[@AEVMU]

Cant blem em for trying to be fair. My local spot (in the Baltic) used to be me and my 4 friends. Now, there was literally 50+ surfers on the last swell.

[@clintoncooke4805]

I guess when they come to Hawaii, no waves for them...lol😊

[@imjustsayin7592]

It's not the wave, it's the filming they're asking outsiders to be ma'a! Their land, their kuleana! Remember Peahi, pre tow in and pre crowds. Respect it. Absolutely, Hawaiians should understand, of all people. "I'm Jus Sayin" 🤙🏾

[@jakemarlow8998]

Sounds like Australia's "da hui" is starting to regulate. About time!

[@eyestamihana2114]

You mean the Aboriginal Da-Hui cuz???😂

[@notleeland]

I’ve seen you say multiple times on video to the world “just don’t come to Pipe and try to surf here” You get what you give bud

[@johndoeyedoe]

Because there are so many people in the lineup it's a hassel. You might get one close out after 4 hours. You also get locals that are heavy but I don't think Koa is Polynesian at all so really him saying anything is meaningless. I might be wrong but many of the current batch of Hawaiian surfers... Well their parents moved from mainland USA. They ain't Hawaiian.

[@Pr0que]

Localism is the most ridiculous rule in surfing. Respect locals yes, but that doesn’t give locals any rights on the nature’s assets and to behave like a jerk is just the bottom line. Locals should bring good vibes and be respected as keepers of the spot/area, but not being assholes

[@bigpinut2386]

Nop, its the locals that protect the spot and try to keep them neat and as secret and fight the governement to keep the spot as it is

[@bigpinut2386]

And locals pay taxes in spots you dont and those taxes are used to clean the place

[@Pr0que]

And how it contradicts to what I said? If you do something to protect the spot it shouldn’t include yourself being a jerk as a local there

[@russelldavies1423]
