3:19 the drop in and turn is mental

[@marcellozedde1217]

Yes your in Durban

[@MrDylansmith1988]

Koa - Thank you for your coverage of Durbs and for mentioning the raising of funds for the relief work being done. From a fellow Smith born and raised in Durban.

[@seraajregal4663]

This is the gold standard of surfing vlogs on the net !....and the humour is hilarious

[@rubenndeanpaulalws1177]

Speak up, friend from afar, just good! I'm your fan! You are the man! I really like your videos, please follow me too! My name is: Rubenn Dean Paul Alws "Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro" Brazil! May God bless you a lot, including your family! We are together man!

[@BeachBumsk8]

[@aaron_jordaan]

[@seraajregal4663]

Love the travel lifestyle parts of the episodes not taking anything away from the surfing which in itself is top quartile !

[@seraajregal4663]

The social dynamics aspect and the environmental consciousness is definitely appropriate and appreciated

[@captaineverything]

Get pumped! Get psyched! Get stoked!

[@seekexperience8412]

Can't go wrong with a good durban mission!

[@lizavd1]

Thank you for talking about the riots! Love that you surfed all of my fav spots! Sending good vibes from SA

[@angelakate9922]

Ocean coachella is probably one of the events that i need to really think about for the second time if i want to attend it

[@kiarahaasbroek2948]

Koa my word you ghys are jjst pumping out there! Awesome to see you guys at South Africa! When u guys come back to Jeff bay maybe surf a bit Victoria bay and maybe at cape town! Let us viewers know when u back! Hope to see u guys pumping again in South Africa!

[@jaimehagadorn1459]

So excited to watch Koa Smith surf in the Kelly Slater TV show called the Ultimate Surfer! Best of luck Koa! I'm rooting for you! Excited to see what happens!

[@mundomanual7308]

Koa it's looking great

[@seblivefloormanager]

This is such a good edit, great humour, appreciation, and waves. Raising awareness, too, with the sobering end to your fun visit to nature's playground in SA. Well played Koa and team. (I know I'm a year behind with this)

[@lucaslaupiccoli7484]

hahahahaha the octopus story, so funny

[@DJKaledz]

I can’t believe it!?? We stay here in Kwazulu-Natal near Durbam... We are farmers! I’m so psyched on your blogs and have been a loving sub for ever!🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼Peace and love from South Africa!🇿🇦

[@DJKaledz]

I meant Durban and vlogs of course

[@christiaanvandenheever9734]

Thanks for the support you have given South Africa!

[@harveymushman2219]

Your Ice bath sauna deal took me back in time....1970....Pops & his bros construction company was building a Mobile Home Park in Porterville....Mission Bell.. for their own investment..I worked that summer for them 110 hot days...after work and on Sundays I'd sit in the sauna at the clubhouse then go out and jump in the big cold pool...very refreshing...thanks for the memory flashback..

[@michaeloliver5143]

You guys should come down to East London to surf Nahoon Reef

[@monicacampbell4600]

Terrific footage as usual in this series! So sorry about the civil unrest in Durban :-(..... but glad you got out safely.

[@thatguy-on1ny]

Thank you for bringing awareness to the Looting protests. So stoked you got to experience my home town of Ballito 😁❤️

[@everythingsports9955]

Same, I also live in ballito. Love seeing Koa there!

[@justchirpin3080]

Your style just keeps getting better and better!

[@wtfollow3594]

Try get to Margate, there are some sick slabs that side..............

[@mcbudget]

3:20 What. A. Turn.

[@MoorayWK]

What a wild time to come to SA?! Thank you for bringing attention to the riots and mining on the west coast. Hopefully more international exposure can help prevent such situations from arising.

[@oceanwarriorz]

So great watching you surf Koa, you an inspiration to humanity can't forget your awesome humble brothers too. Should come over to New Zealand such EPIC surf here especially the uncrowded secret squirrel spots plus its just paradise...Yeow! 🤙🙌

[@tiaanmoggee6786]

Amazing guys!

[@Punt_tv]

So sick Koa, Been following your Africa Journey sense the beginning and every time I see a new Vlog pop up I get so stoked ! This one was so sick but so heavy at the same time. To see how beautiful and calming and killer that place is and then 3 days later chaos breaks out was so gnarly ! On a happier Note can’t wait for the next Vlog keep doing your thing man we love it ! Aloha from California shoots Koa Yewww 🤙🏼

[@anthea875]

I love watching surf videos. I can't swim so I wouldn't be trying it, but I like watching you doing it. Stay blessed 💙💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@vankonings6326]

Entertaining... love your videos... Good job guys !!!

[@liamcurran8154]

when’s another trip happening to SA. you gotta check out the West Coast and go to Elandsbaai when it’s firing. As good as JBay but runs left🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️

[@grantscerri3098]

shout out to the camera man who is filming while the waves are firing🔥

[@REFL3X011]

yayyyy

[@kimberlylalonde5610]

There are great rewards for great risks

[@johnnosprads5883]

Tongaat river Koa, just in case the guys back home think you cropped the croc in. There’s a croc farm nearby so that one probably snuck out for a little solitude on the bank. Stoked you mapped one of the best places on the planet to be that time of year.

[@EteBerlin]

Nice.

[@danielmajor189]

I live in Durban and never find these conditions you guys are lucky

[@dos_mas_805]

Thank you for another great vlog from you SA trip. Aside from the waves, I am equally impressed and drawn to that region for the plants, particularly the aloes and at 7:14 there is an amazing shot of some of SA's famed tree aloes in bloom. So grateful for sharing your experience with us Koa, much love and thanks from the central coast of california.

[@Frewbru]

Was rad to have you guys in town 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Random question what do you guys use for your ice bath? Need a DIY situation cause I am not dropping racks on a “plunge”. Enjoy the day 🤙

[@seiacheyenne1107]

Steve O is surfing now wtf!!??

[@livelifetothefullest2620]

Savages absolute savages

[@whitey6317]

"5 feet" he must be around 2'3 if the face of the wave is 3 feet over his head.

[@gwall4603]

5ft Haw is 2-5 ft overhead or 8-10ft faces. I don’t condone this style of measurement. It confusing and pressures

[@whitey6317]

@@gwall4603 Yeah that just doesn't make even a little bit of sense. 8-10ft faces that's literally twice the size of 5ft. Nothing about those waves are "maybe five foot" I've been surfing for 25 years, something ill never understand why people do.

[@gaiasground952]

Wow I was just in Durban yesterday surfing for the first time. Great footage!! I've recently posted a Video on surfing too, let me know what you think 👆❤️

Ahhh your stoked again 😡

Hawaii isn't exactly a tame place compared to "WILD" South Africa...

[@YNDog]

I would say South Africa prob not the safest place right now with my brothas and Sista’s uprising and rioting out there ay bru.. stay safe in my motherland

[@johannessmith7341]

And I would say you dont know anything about South Africa bru...riots are over it was a flash in the pan thing by your brothas and sistas

[@johannessmith7341]

Little too dramatic at the end there Koa...it was no worse than what happens in the States. Anyone reading this be careful who and what you go fund and make sure you know where every penny goes, especially in South Africa

[@rosstheboss1294]

What you smoking? Do a bit of homework before you make stupid comments about something you know nothing about...

@@rosstheboss1294 hey Ross, don't stigmatize the electric spinach :)

[@IIrandhandleII]

I thought these areas were ruined by rioting and looting?
