[@livedeliciously]

Koa deserves this win. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

[@countermoonman]

I agree, he certainly earned that one

[@justTheTip118]

Buddy was dialed

[@batman50ish]

I guess you can't say: "I never do well in competitions" anymore! :) Here's to a whole new era of successful comeptition! Congrats Koa - Well earned...

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

AWESOME the North Shore crew is on fire, what a season, Koa wins at Backdoor, Nate wins Pipe, And John has the world title..Sounds like the slab tour is fully funded, LETS GO....

[@SasoCasablanca63]

So proud of Koa. Such a humble young man! Such a joy to see the brotherhood with Nate, Eli, John, Ivan and their rat pack.

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

Koa,The Florence bros. and JOB are like the new North Shore Mafia .....with the utmost respect !

[@bybreno23]

Nothing new about these guys, they have been putting the work on this wave for years and they are now being rewarded for it.

[@HudsonLoved]

*Congrats bro!! Well deserved. My younger brother committed suicide recently, we would watch your videos on auto play!! We loved watching your journey. My little brother is shouting loudly from the heavens for your win! Brothers and sisters, Make sure to tell your people you love them! ! Peace*

[@HappyGrouch]

Dam. 😢 this was powerful.

[@Beloved-of-the-Divine]

@HudsonLoved so sorry for your loss, I lost my father the same way in 1999. My thoughts & prayers are with you!

[@JonOwens-ym2rn]

That is a horrible thing, but your outlook on this is amazing. Happy that you can find peace though!!!! Awesome that Koa is playing a part in that

[@Chuck-wc1fy]

Congrats Koa 🎉

[@bmolale081]

My favorite part of this video is the braddah who announced you as winner mentioned how humble you are. Never lose that! It’s a blessing! When I met you, your brother, dad, and Markus as the bank a decade ago + when I was working there, the Rothmans and Da Hui crew had a larger than life reputation, yet you signed autographs for the local girl I worked with and were kind and humble then too. Well done, and God bless!

[@onekewlbraddah8460]

humble lol

[@JHillNC]

First: Maximum respect for donating your winnings from The Eddie to Hawaiian Water Patrol. Second: BIG congratulations on winning Da Hui Backdoor Shootout! Third: Shout out to da caddy, lil man was holding it down for the champ! 🏆 🤙🤙 EDIT: I almost forgot, CONGRATULATIONS on wave of the contest, too!!! 🏆🤙 And seeing Eddie R. smiling there with you was awesome, you know he was so proud to see you win!! 🏆 🤙🤙

[@MrMysto]

The caddy was ultimate hype man, you could here him hooting in the clips

[@sdsurfers1]

The HWP saved Koa's life just over a year ago at Pipe when he hit the reef. They got to him immediately and took great care of him. WTG Koa!! AND JACK!! :)

[@ranaya241]

Congrats Koa! Congrats to you too Jack for always being there for ya brotha

[@ranaya241]

I replied to soon. The fact that you guys donated your winnings to the water patrol.... MAD RESPECT!!!! The North Shore family is Amazing!

No more “ bad at comps “ mindset. You’re clearly capable of slaying 🙌 Congrats

[@scottburrow8717]

Congrats Koa. You deserved that. Great waves for everyone. Ivan had to be a close second!!!

[@aidan6310]

All those two foot wave contest you surfed, finally, some bombs came your way!! Congrats Koa, well deserved!! 🍾🍾🎉🥳🍸

[@nottherealChickenJoe]

That whole Final Day, especially in this video, you were so much more positive and actually sounded motivated to perform. That paid off. You really have all the reasons now to go into every contest positively and not get dragged down by it. CONGRATS.

[@davidhunt4307]

That was a cool thing to donate to the water safety boys they are absolutely amazing at what they do they literally are angels of the sea and deserve to get paid a lot more than they do that’s for sure 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼

[@megacatsupreme466]

Nobody does it better

[@lzevon]

Mazel Tov Koa - great result at the Eddie and individual title at the Shootout. You’ve been putting good energy out there (giving that kid a contest jersey at the Eddie, donating Eddie winnings to the lifeguards, etc) and it comes back. Keep doing great things!

[@GStat7]

What a legend, Koa winning the Shootout, and making it into the league of greats. Proud of ya brotha, you earned it! Keep this momentum going man, your killing it in the KZbin game as well.

I was THERE! Saw your first and last sets! That was the first big-wave competition I ever watched, and I shared it with my son. Greetings and congratulations all the way from Kansas City, Missouri!

[@capslock4959]

the shootout isn't technically a big wave competition. big wave events happen at waimea, jaws, mavericks, etc. but don't get me wrong, there are still some big waves.

[@johncleary4775]

@@capslock4959 For a kook from Missouri, that's a big wave brutha.

[@capslock4959]

@@johncleary4775 I was just clarifying that big wave contests are their own thing. For example, the Eddie Aikau took place at Waimea bay a couple weeks ago and that is considered a big wave competition.

So well deserved. Seeing the absolute high bar the Florence brothers, Eli and JOB set, it really looked as though Nathan was up for (yet) another win, then Koa got those last bombs and won it fair and square. Respect

[@lnr12241]

Great waves have to be ridden great. Koa absolutely tore it up. Congratulations 🎉🎉

1:31 "The waves look really fun right now." That's the way to roll into a comp - with a caddy and a good attitude. It was so beautiful to watch! You've got one helluva photography and editing team for documenting such incredible surfing. Hoo-whee! (So what if the title has a few extra vowels 😉) (12:27 I can't believe he stuck that takeoff. That was wild.)
