IS DESERT POINT OVERRATED? FULL SESSION AT "THE GROWER"

[@wyatt.7234]

I was at Pavones in June and met Bill Heick who is one of the main guys that discovered desert point. Him and his friends kept it a secret for years. He got to surf those perfect waves with no one out

[@rnunezc.4575]

Say hi to Bill, from Galapagosurf...

[@jerrybow8779]

Hell yea, shout out to guys like him Rex and Dave

[@curtisreynolds7708]

Good call Koa you scored once again your ripping desert point surfing marathon

[@diabolical1976]

Of course you were at Pavones. Who isn't these days...

[@alexmonger8754]

Koa that barrel at 8:25 was the best POV barrel shot I have seen on you tube. Nice work Alex

[@LiftRunStretch]

That burn was next level

[@jenismagina3410]

i love seeing how calm you are when you're caught inside. im new to surfing and the washing machine is my nightmare, but seeing how its something you deal with at every level and need to overcome is very helpful.

[@mccarthysoutdoorsandgunclu446]

Excellent video. You keep my stoke for surfing alive. Thank you Koa. Congrats on surpassing 200,000 subscribers.

[@S.L-Sully]

Congrats on 200,000+ subs!!! 💯🔥💯🔥

[@bbwvelvet]

How fun to see Koa and Italo in the same video! Also, this really underscored how great a shape you have to be in to surf, I wasnt as into the music as I usually am, felt very Rights Free lol But thanks so much Jack and Koa! Keep having fun!

[@mikewhit]

that 11:14 feeling when you make it through! and man i am still recovering from last weeks swell! i know the breathing!

[@turbowtime9611]

Sick video. & Ty's boat is Sick. Ty & Aloha from South Shore!

[@boazdaka]

watching your surf is always epic but getting some Italo was like a nice cherry! keep up the good vibe!

[@Jason124-zp9os]

The guy burning on the first wave , thought he would teach Koa a lesson, but ended up getting his own lesson 👏🤣

[@themaskedamateurmagician1209]

How would he be considered teaching koa a lesson when he was the one who dropped in? Glad he's got the taste of his own medicine!

[@Jason124-zp9os]

@@themaskedamateurmagician1209 He thought he was teaching Koa a lesson by dropping in , why is that so hard to work out?

[@themaskedamateurmagician1209]

@@Jason124-zp9os cause that doesn't even make sense! Like why would an offender think he could give his victim a lesson by doing a bad thing to the victim? You're speaking as if Koa was guilty in this case like how are you guilty for getting dropped in on? You obviously dont surf

[@gurudogg123]

Such a blatant burn in the beginning, how does that not end up with more of a conflict/altercation?

[@mnledesm]

maybe because people can be civil. where the fuck are you from?

[@arottie4097]

He has mma guy's on his team! Ha!

[@juliomcdermott4696]

Its not his fault hes from Snapper

[@Thisislakelifewanaka]

It’s indo brah. Culture is much more chill only good vibes accepted

[@SF-wr4zn]

Not everyone in the water is looking for reasons to throw.

[@johnhagan582]

Underrated is more like ! Beautiful pristine water .waves with as perfect form as i think I've ever seen anywhere in the world .truly inspiring .

[@henriquegomes7042]

Love the 'true' side of it, taking heavy sets on the head after a barrel haha... not everything are roses !!! great video

[@mikenelson7894]

Great waves and great surfing 🙌🏼🔥🙌🏼

[@andrewiangillies]

Loved this vid, maybe an easy and beautiful wave but you showed off fitness levels at around 11.00, dealing with super shallow duck dives, and handling drop ins with grace. Always know it's going to be a great one when Eli shows up in the vid.

[@bluememo]

aghh.. caught inside onto the super-sketchy! 10:00 That was an F1 paddle out!!! Keep rocking Koa 😜🤙

[@JohnLloyd-yi3fg]

Damn even you guys get dropped in on? That’s cccrrrazzzy!!

[@yannickkrahenbuhl4950]

Italo is from another planet it’s incredible. Great video Koa you’re a beast

[@fishrider62]

when Koa is breathing hard and says it's heavy, it's HEAVY! lol

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

Wow, thanks Koa for taking us on this adventure with you. Those waves were amazing that one guy snaked you twice who was that guy? 😒Those barrels were deep and long and beautiful but getting caught inside sucked I felt all the stress of that. What a great video what a beautiful place I loved every second of it completely enthralled like I was there too.👏👏👏👏👏👏🐐

[@PipsterHeaven]

My sons and I had the same thing happen: three boards into the freeway coming home from Trestles. I'm glad it worked out for the session.

[@nickkuhl3426]

great fight back out there 10:30min , your GoPro shots are awesome !!

[@HoStevie]

5:03 Koa: 🗿

[@marckindl1071]

Indonesia is the wave capital of the world. NOTHING compares.

[@fvdeddrift]

Gawdamn! I think this is my favorite spot you've shown us... That color is otherworldly, the shape of that barrel has attitude, and any time you cats get to sail for what seems like miles! And rubbin's, racin! 😉😇😅 Hahaha! Sheit. Stunner vidge! SteadyCam for what?! #JackTheGimbal 💥

[@unSTEVOED]

I remember surfing that place in the 60s with Occy and Tom Curren. I taught Occy how to do cut backs that same session

[@tropicalpnch4549]

Gorgeous looking waves!

[@mr.e-manm5062]

Those waves were so beautiful

[@adamstevens6299]

Good to see Clay out there!

[@minxlabrada]

Thanks for the stoke. Totally down with the inflatable Spec-Ops boats.

[@lubomirtrenkov]

Koa, man, what an amazing super nice footage. You need to get an Indonesian citizenship 😅.Love it there. Post some pov stuff from Ukuws and padang padang. Take care and keep up with the excelent content. The name This is livin couldnt be more accurate 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ivanbayarri2807]

Good to see you are a true adventurer, always discovering new spots😂😂😂

[@mr.e-manm5062]

Best waves on this channel so far

[@bsmbB]

Damn that was pretty cool to see what happens when you eat it with the water being so CLEAN 🤙🏽

[@PlayingOutsideSomewhere]

Sick inside of the barrels shots thanks for sharing ❤

[@patrick03333]

6:01 absolute drainer 🔥

[@petecabrina]

You's should really put together a fully edited surf film with good music from some of the locations lately, such incredible sessions in flawless waves, would be so good edited up well.

[@gentepasandolamal]

Sickest POV´s!! Brutal!!

[@mybleachhouse]

The grower is insane but so is the payment haha.

[@Cbill69]

Pls turn on the stabilization settings on the GoPro🙏 it would make the clips look soo much better

[@kirktaylor4954]

Livin' the dream means toughin' it out when it gets heavy. Way to dig in and handle. That's how you get it done!

[@kirktaylor4954]

I see why it's the grower with Italo's last wave on the video.

[@aveenvp]

Good to see your homie rocking a Thrash Craft tee! Sick shaper.

[@georgelamb8074]

Board color is like ocean 🔥

[@vibwadeharrington9104]

Where did Eli go!

[@miamiwalking]

What size board was Italo riding? He needed a lot of pumps just to keep up with the wave.

[@OrionsMako]

Holy fck, that one right in the afternoon you were angling real hard for, so sick.. freaking desert point with Italo, that guy is human amphetamine, epic videos from Bali.

[@ggar9623]

doesnt look as powerful as others but what a beautiful wave, the sun on the face of the wave made it look so dreamy, absolutely stunning

[@sebastiansowieso8179]

have you been to indonesia? This is a heavy, shallow wave, and "the grower" is the sketchiest part. They are professionals who are used to surfing death-defying pipeline, that's why it looks so managable.

[@harukrentz435]

Summer time in Indo is the best time to surf! Lot of winds lot of waves!

[@cyb32011]

Epic left! Great surf, music so ao

[@stevegiorgi9288]

I’m still trying to get to get used to the wolf, but I love the first person perspective!

[@JSantosha]

Epic edit, great surfing! But don't you have hypersmooth on your gopro to make it less shaky ?

[@TylerGrommet]

The problem with anything is that so much is now just designed to be disposable. Effectively “cheap” and hand shaped performance boards are made to be disposable, not all but generally.

[@williammarvos2380]

Impressed how you handled the guy dropping in on you. Question: is the dry reef you were standing on sharp...or worn down? Aloha

[@uponsurfboards1]

Gosto dos vídeos do Khoa pq ele sempre mostra o lado B além da parte boa, a vida como ela é!!😂🤌🤘🤙🍻

[@diogoribeiro81]

Amazing!! Was there back in May, for the first ever swell of this year, loved it! The gopro footage looks a bit shaking, did you had the "smooth" on?

[@braxtonmay391]

Beautiful!

[@eyeswideopen935]

ITALO! nails a perfect 360

[@joefisch1732]

This is Livin rebranded to This is Heavy @10:05

[@EvanThomas]

I took a scooter out there from Kuta Lombok in 2014, rolled up and it was pumping like this, way too sketchy for my liking, it breaks in literally 4 feet of water.

POV shots were clean brotha 😮‍💨 LIVIN

[@lavapix]

Bummer that the stabilization was whack on the camera.

[@aitutaki50]

Koa is a naturally mellow guy, both @ home & abroad...if anyone ever wondered how to avoid conflict with an absolute snake 🐍 who's literally trying to pull you off your board as you pass him by, Koa shows us how>>just press on the gas ever so slightly, line up the next barreling section, & pull in as your aggressor gets thoroughly stuffed behind you, & then enjoy the rest of your ride...or, if you're Italo, just pull a big air & land on the guy's head...&, he was definitely not a Desert Point "local"...Koa's been surfing there for over a decade, & I guarantee he is far more welcome in that lineup by the local Indonesian population than that kook will ever be

[@nelsonessers4975]

Sick barrels boss.

[@lindamac2]

epic looks grand whats with the white wash

[@zacmitty7851]

Good video, Koa, You surfed really well, I.F. even more so! No disrespect, but perhaps you underestimated the speed of Desert Point? Looking sketchy for you (and many others over the years!) at one point...!

[@brennanhaleski9588]

that burn was insanity. its a glimpse into the human mindset in this day and age though. its fuck you, I deserve everything, me me me, im the victim here. Wild.... Also Italos 360 looked like a fucking snowboard maneuver. so effortless and smooth. wow

[@unSTEVOED]

I think Koa may have burnt someone at the beginning of the same wave. If you look at his POV there's someone paddling on his right

Only way to savage this channel now is get Bruce back Surfing.

[@spencerharvey743]

I love the travel vlog

[@Optable]

Is it just I or has Koa prestiged to his second shredding prime again? Maybe ditching the hair flipping phone-staring pose-doing screen timer side piece is that lucky charm

[@ahamilton1305]

🤣That cracked me up dude

[@Jason124-zp9os]

I think it depends on how good the waves are. The better the waves are the better Koa surfs , and the less time he spends on the beach , posing with his shirt off.

[@jacecook5399]

Dude I would fix that board, i just saw your brother at his concert in Truckee. Dont throw it away !

Italo is an incredible surfer, and I'm just an armchair watcher, but his movements and timing just seem so forced to me. Clay packs just as heavy of a punch, but his style and rhythm speaks to me so much more ( even though it wasn't really portrayed in this particular video )

[@danisurflessons]
