[@-anjuull8036]

bruh this needs more likes tf

[@gustavomonteiro2793]

The silence in the car ride to the cliff shows the degree of tension and nervousness. Dry mouth, cold hands, hehehe. Congratulations. You all did well.

[@KoaRothman]

Haha the nerves were going!

[@danhartery6930]

What I love about this vid is he’s one of the only surfers who shows how stoked he is but also how scary bigger waves can be and he doesn’t hide away from it.

[@cammyxl3302]

that shooting star at 15:44 tho

[@dsc7772]

or was it ??? looked odd interplanetary Silver Surfer maybe ??? awesome s**t, not the shooting star you guys !!!

[@cammyxl3302]

[@AlexBrown-od9ve]

[@lion-eq9tc]

[@essesin]

Took the editing to another level on this on. Well done!

[@KoaRothman]

Yewww!

[@dennismull147]

Your feelings are like a " Midget,"paddling out into the shore break at Huntington Beach, the long hold downs on 3 foot waves, scare the crap Outa him.

[@aric85]

Great to see behind the scenes of surfing something like this.

[@edorocko1548]

agree

[@GeniusUnleashed]

21:57 was nuts. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before.

[@braxtonmay391]

yea that direct hit is scaryy

[@GeniusUnleashed]

@Prince Henry The navigator I've seen big waves form all over the planet. I've never seen a person drop in a make the drop and go straight and have the wave break over him like that.

[@jaimetirado3141]

This is living is just next level ... From the surfing to editing to music selection you guys absolutely kill it .. Keep up the good work boys !! Salud from San Diego Ca 💯🍻

[@HKSlays]

I was going to write pretty much the same thing. Well done on all levels.

[@sebastiaocarneiro4122]

Respect Peace!

[@nosaj666]

Yeah! 92109

[@enzo3440]

Gonna beat out JOB at this rate with the editing. I think the reason he won this year is prolly all the other wacky shit they do.

[@sdsurfers1]

Here representing San Diego 92130!! LOVE THIS IS LIVIN'!!!!

[@vancity_coaster]

I like how you just dealt with summer and the flat times and pow jaws is here. You all are legend... great stuff Koa!!

[@puppylinuxer]

Best thing about TiL is the vibe...I mean the surfing is great, the video editing is great but the vibe is off the charts....real honest and pure. Keep it up and better luck next year.

[@tomsullivanchannel]

The shot of you and Nathan watching the reality of that wave was so raw. Thanks for letting us in. It's also amazing to watch your expressions and intensity grow as you psych yourself up to make it possible. If you can get that backside barrel ride down there, you can win. That's another level.

[@resinfarmer]

There's Tomo!!!

[@psyquakk7170]

which makes me now wonder....where's zoard ?

[@cameronmartin4428]

where at?

[@resinfarmer]

TOMO

[@resinfarmer]

@@KoaRothman He got dat pay raise

[@gayatrimade2844]

He is humble and honest surfer, he's not shy to say that he was so nervous facing those upcoming big wave contest, I really understood how he feels. Huge Respect for you koa! Aloha from Bali island!🙋🙏🏄🌴🌞😊

[@tonyjovanovic9259]

I was just cringing watching those wipe outs! Glad you all made it home safe and sound! I would be like Eli, give me a beer at the end of this day!

[@sethchalnick5113]

18:46 to 19:01 “go”. Any inspiration anyone ever needs to live up to anything can be summed up right there in that moment. As heavy as it gets.

[@jessiepauloski181]

really proud of you for trying!! Thats really intense and hard to face until youre fully ready and prepared not just physically but mentally!! Koa, you are an inspiration!! Jack, your videography skills are amazing!!! Thank you guys so much for sharing!!!

[@dos_mas_805]

17:15 is an epic shot with that moon. Thanks for sharing your experiences Koa & Nate, Peahi was firing that day for sure!

[@jodyaloha8538]

Awesome episode, thank you for making and sharing, its so cool to get an insight into your mind set when it comes to massive waves. Its insane to watch, well done on doing it, its something to be hugely proud of no matter what place you came, you rock!

[@ricardobecerra4877]

Is one of My favorite vídeos since the begining. Koa the next year is yours🤙🎅

[@titi3777]

AMAZING guys. It honestly triggered a full blown anxiety attack for me. No lie. Not ashamed. I'm SO proud and in awe of you. The filming, and edit along with music, etc. is just SO good.

[@saskiab.2433]

This is one of my favourite wave sequences, great music, great editing, great surfing

[@jackolson7735]

15:48 dope shot brotha!!! That meteor was dope!!!

[@ripstickish]

Mate that was epic. Love this is living. It’s crazy to see the emotion you go through getting ready for surfing waves like that and the stoke after accomplishing what you do in giant surf. You are a legend mate !!! Wow

[@mitchflello]

How’s the set up when you lads were first watching the waves with the full moon setting! Livin the dream!

[@nicholasmurdoch8580]

just started surfing i have a question Koa, is this a good beginner wave or should i start at nazare

[@Astartes40k]

Name of song starting at 19:00?

[@giannimecozzi9086]

do you know is the name of that song

[@hushhunting8083]

Gianni Mecozzi by who?

[@nickbuckland448]

^^^

[@deanjamesg]

Any news yet about the song name?

[@michiel7502]

Would also love to know the name of this song, shazam doesn't recognize it unfortunately.

[@stevepierce3509]

HAHAHA " Natural instability" comment by Florence loved it and mad me laugh, Never surfed something so mad crazy, I take my hat off to you guys. Great footage legends.

[@slyder-tv]

Best video by far, loved it. It would be very difficult for a goofy to win at maxing Jaws, no worries...next years Pipe Masters is yours for the taking!

[@mauitomo]

Awesome , it really shows how it really feels to coming out to Peahi with honest feeling of excitement and anxiety. very real , I loved it.

[@rachaelhenfrey8074]

watched the comp live on WSL from Toronto! Congrats Koa! you killed it as always

[@thomashamell]

big inspiration you and nate and my favorite surfers of all time, keep up the good work and the grind, you got it next year for sure.

[@slicetheicejr8415]

such a sick edit!! favorite so far

[@dusk5956]

This is crazy. On a small morning on the weekend my dad would always pop in a vhs of a surf documentary. Now these are streaming online each day. Unreal content 🤙🏼

[@CTwenty7]

Summoning Odin type of music 19:30 One of the gnarliest videos you’ve recorded Jack. The edits are so spot on. So fucking dope.

[@faitha950]

That is definitely the vibe right there for sureeee. (Trying to find a music piece without lyrics is maddening)

[@neyman10]

@@faitha950 did you ever find it?

[@tk9330]

@6:30 "It's really hard to describe." @5:00 I'd say you described it perfectly. Great vlog.

[@theajane6444]

When Koa inflated the suit, I kinda got Iron Man movie 1 vibes--half expected him to fly up and bash into the ceiling...one little moment of levity because even though I scrolled through the comments before watching, I wasn't prepared for how intense/moving this video was going to be. God almighty, Koa. Awesome video. Glad you all were safe.

[@danielhounslow4274]

Oh my God I feel those nerves through the camera. Amazing stuff to go out in the stuff... You're a legend dude.

[@suthobay]

13:21 20:07 Those scenes almost looks like CGI. I can't believe people have the skill to even attempt these waves. It's mindblowing. I get sweaty palms just watching! Mad respect also to the jet skiers who risk their lives doing this. All you guys are INSANE, but give new meaning to FEARLESS

[@Deepimpactocean]

Them boys got granite stones for balls and talent to match

[@point7point724]

As a surfer I have nothing but hard core respect for big wave surfers. That wave Nathan Florence surfed was awesome. I can't even imagine wiping out on a wave that big and powerful.

[@billsegur]

There seems to be a real comradery among these big wave surfers rarely seen between any other competitive athletes. Makes me want all them to win. Much respect!

[@patrickbrunelle3283]

Love that Viking music in the background. Super ominous. Nevermind the waves...respect for the balls-out boardless paddle out into giant whitewater! Geez

[@christineb4823]

What a gnarly episode! My heart was beating so fast! I was nervous for you!

[@shredpuppy]

Chills on my spine, one of the best episodes in my opinion since you've started. Just wow.

[@Desleiden]

I get nervious just watching you. I can´t imagine what you feel in the water. Great men of valor to chalenge mother nature.

[@islander4986]

I agree with the comments on the production quality. Super clear focused video. Interesting peek into the big wave paddle-in world too. Must be VERY tough out there for a goofy-foot.

[@scottwoodrich6353]

Best individual vlog episode have ever seen- beautifully filmed, edited, and scored-

[@DanOMallsVideo]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! The guy at the end summed it up pretty well talking about the size of your balls! I've been so stoked watching you, Nate and Eli. From the epic videos like this to the day to day. You guys are killing it and just want to thank you again for allowing us to share in these experiences. No joke. When I go out to surf I take inspiration from you.

[@dajambo1]

I think this is the best "vlog" episode I have ever seen on youtube.

[@kamaluililani8523]

Watched Jaws at home with my dad; was rooting for you guys! You guys still pulled through and did frickin' BEAST. Sick ass edit too; really captured what I was feeling watching the competition go down.

[@jeffhartwig5283]

18:35 when you know from experience what is really happening. Great video, board prep, flight over, real nerves etc. I surfed Maui in 2019... Lahaina Boat Harbor at 2-3 foot. No nerves 😀

[@boxghostly2235]

I love how you explained the comfort and fear that shit was deep. Made me a fan

[@MrPeanutPacifique]

Lets take a minute to appreciate Jack's editing skills. Koa, never hire an other editor... Jack's fucking great at this things! What an atmosphere! I was thinking that I was going to war all episode long... Sick Episode Stay safe fellas 🤙🥖🥖🥖

[@graememac376]

I feel the nerves watching you guys get ready to surf the anticipation must be mental. Editing is on point too that music is perfect for the battle that went on out there. Yew 🤙😎

[@MttBlk_Project]

Super rad dude and very well put together. You really captured the feel of the contest. Best vlog yet!!

[@SimonInSanDiego]

Koa. Great video. Beautifully shot. Brilliant editing. Really brought you in, could feel the excitement, tension and nerves. Well done Jack. And Tomo, who’s he shooting for now. Great to see him.

[@Yabroproductions33]

BRO, thanks for slowing down the clip @15:45, that is a blaster shooting star. Not to lessen the Moon eclipse footy, but that shizo is dope! Better luck next year, glad everyone made it back unscathed

[@zachczyz2165]

i don't think I've ever had butterflies while watching a youtube video. Awesome editing and footage, I'd love to see this in person

[@xwhite2020]

[@claydemarco177]

Am I the only person who’s gut was dropping while watching these dudes get hammered?

[@adayinthelife5496]

Awesome video. Next level editing. It really captured the intensity of Jaws, we get too used to seeing monster waves in videos.

[@miarritzekosurfari]

Thank you guys for sharing your experiences. It s unforgettable

[@tonyjaii]

wtf is that tomo from job at 6:59?

[@thebrokenafrican9398]

Hey Koa! I've been looking at pyzel surfboards for a while now because I need to get a new board... I was just wondering what pyzel board do u think will be best for 1-6ft waves?

[@nosaj666]

Jack, Koa. God Damn this was next level production and editing!👏👏👏

[@garyrobinson4847]

Thanks for the post koa music definitely matched the waves.. and thanks for you and your friends for having the bravery to show the world the serious end of surfing! I’m surprised you all can get so streamline to go down the face of one of those waves with balls that big!😂 and that moon sun was incredible 🤙

[@glennkimata3491]
