Jeff Spicoli put it this way,"it's the way of going up to the wave and saying,'hey bud, let's party!'"

[@martincallaghan6563]

There’s no doubt whatsoever that Koa Smith has got a deep connection with that wave

[@josemanuelgarciaotero9393]

You have a good connection with that wave. From that swell you got the best waves so far from my point of view. I remember your first blog there a while ago. With that documentary vibes. I personally like that more than the blogs, but I understand it is much harder. That trip to Africa was epic!!! .

[@Surfdronesd]

60% drone clips is the new normal for the top surf channels these days. Always have a drone pilot. Great clips Koa.

[@jeffg4686]

@11:47 - super sick @15:35 - almost fooled me - same wave, different angle

[@jamesq3896]

Those drone tracking shots are so good. Now cut that with a land shot/water shots for variety.

[@Surfdronesd]

Excellent input

[@rogerdat7807]

Your original multi barrels on the 6 minute wave will never be topped. For that single feat you'll always have a GOAT stat.

[@tokenpeople]

GOat of riding a toy?

[@Michael-eg5xv]

Goat of playing with a ball?

[@antonstrydom9086]

Agreed that wave was epic and played a huge part in creating the fame if this place. Don't quite know where the offbeat comments come from - obviously more surfer heroes

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

@@tokenpeople a toy? Surfing is far more dangerous and life-threatening than throwing a ball around or throwing a ball in a metal hole.

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Is that the wave he screamed at the guy?? If "yes," I found that hilarious.

[@Ocean_magic_om]

i love how deep you talk about the surfing and the waves, thats the way to go! great surfer! love your videos thank you!

[@minxlabrada]

Thanks for more stoke! Exceptional cinematography of a wild barren coast.

[@mikemoloney506]

Gonna have to watch this again crew. But first I will have to micro dose mushrooms 🍄 twice. Then enjoy the ride again.. thanks koa and your film crew.. spiritual!!

[@Michael-eg5xv]

KOA def the best skeleton wave surfer by far. Would love to see John here but suits goofy a lot better

[@SoloSurfer]

Thanks for the positive vibes!!🤙🔥🔥

[@martincallaghan6563]

Just goes to show how committed and how addicted Surfer’s are to travel to all these remote places sometimes even just for one wave

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

The drone shots are always the best..

[@Surfdronesd]

Drone clips are a must-have for surf vlogs now.

[@chuckbaker8413]

So sick… fantastic footage of barrel riding and MAKING IT OUT…sheesh is right🎉

[@tahoeboii1181]

Right at the 12 minute marker shot some serious chills up me spine. Go baby go!!!

All the effort ends up with the ultimate reward..The ave joe has no idea how much work goes into putting oneself in that situation...Nice work KOA. Old North Shore local 1977-79 first job Surfboards Haleiwa.

You drop in when it is super steep - that is not easy. Great surfing.

I love how the music dampens as you go under a wave!

So sick to see a wave like not be destroyed yet🔥🔥🔥

[@measures_of_distance]

Are we witnessing the death of this glorious sandbank? It will shift away - this is a volatile coastline. I'm seeing more and more turn sections

[@chrisculley3756]

These videos when y'all go to skeleton Bay are just absolutely some of the coolest surf videos. For one the place is just wild. I mean you've got a little coyotes running around everywhere seals just an amazing place of kind of untouched wilderness. The other is it an easy place to get to. I mean you guys have really got to put in the work to get to the place which makes it that much cooler. Then you get this freight train Powerful 2 that just if everything's connected right in the sand moves in the right direction and everything's just perfect. Then you get the most insane rides of your life. Then you walk back up however far you got taken down laughing and talking s*** with the guy who's walking back up with you it's just a f****** cool place. RLTW 3/75

Geezer talks more than he surfs and that would be fine if he could talk as well as he can surf. Problem is that he can't.

[@martingoodchild9956]

Hey Koa, most surfers understand how waves, tides and swells work. Why do we have to watch you wave your arms around for 8 minutes before we see the waves. Mate, everything you have to say, good chance we all already heard it before. Just shut up and surf (and do way better editing?)
