[@chiefQUEEF69]

this vlog is an exact snapshot of how i want to live my life, but in all probability I never will...keep up the great vlogs Koa

[@tajw9289]

I hate this state bro I mean I'm grateful for these beaches but I rather live on a pacific Island in the middle of the Pacific surfing for the rest of my days.

[@mr.c1987]

during Coronavirus in my towns I went back and watched some of these classics...and they raised my spirits. Thank you Koa, from the future.

[@michaelj3807]

The waves starting at 8:47 are insane. Good choice of music too. Tahitian magic

[@RobertKusicki]

[@Curler22]

[@KoaRothman]

[@backcountryexplorer6841]

Koa, how was it when you caught your first Tahitian bomb?

[@michaelj3807]

Also really cool insight into how they choose the spot for the day at 0:35. Would like to see more of this (especially when they're back North Shore 😁)

[@rickt8798]

Koa, I have followed you for a long time. I’m just happy that I’m finally able to comment. Surfed for decades but gave it up to be a golfer in my later years. Love you Bro. You live the life!

[@720brian]

@ 9:08 that step off was fucking fire! FYI more Jet Ski shenanigans, you physically cannot have too much jet ski action! Chee hoo another sick one boys!!! 👌

[@KoaRothman]

thank you! jet skis are the best!

[@poptoptoo]

Love your video! I'm 68 and no longer surf after 50 yrs. Still hoot when I see some great waves. Maybe I'll try again. On much smaller waves though.

[@atreides8002]

You guys have access to way too good surf if you looked at those waves and were like “meh” 😉

[@KoaRothman]

[@atreides8002]

Koa Rothman would love to see some footage of you surfing with your dad, Eddie is awesome. Aloha from Australia boys 🇦🇺

[@dukezaun7049]

[@RedLineShortFilms]

Agreed... Those "Shitty" waves they found would be the best waves of the year where im from, lol

[@DavidKing-ql3fg]

[@Bigdogjason]

"waves are not very good but at its something todo"....... Mkay

[@michaelj3807]

Who was that with the barrel + layback at 6:32 and then casually rides the wave all the way back to the boat? Was that Eli Olson?

[@cloud84strife]

I was at Tehaupoo in 2009 and I've seen Makua Rothman surfing.. btw, at 3:16 looks like a cool section, that make double ups, why go out before?

[@kaskahea1274]

Videos are always awesome. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@terylsoren4418]

The braddah at the end playing the guitar 😍 so epic! Loved how you started with that clip and drowned out the other sounds when you started the surfing clip! Good stuff! I’ve always loved what you’ve done (Jack) you too Koa 😘😂 my little cousin Jack-Henry turned me on to your videos right after you guys graduated and you were in Cali I think. Anyways, this series is awesome and I literally have a playlist on Spotify named “cuz of Jack Germain” 😂

[@grahamjarman]

cool guitar stuff

[@anneaerosecret5489]

Amazing stuff, as always! When you’re in the lineup, is it kind of understood that you each take your turn on waves? It seems like you are always the only one paddling for the waves you take. Would love to see footage from paddle outs and the lineup!

[@mariomarso1158]

[@KoaRothman]

[@RyanBCreative]

Trust me these waves are sick, trying waiting for waves on the east coast of the U.S . its rough

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Can you show people to the different ways to pop up on a surfboard please? I'm a beginner Surfer aggressively trying to move from soft-top to longboard and eventually down the fun shapes and hopefully one day not too far in the future shortboards but I know the pop-up is very different when doing it on shortboards. I have watch KZbin videos on the chicken wing method and jumping from the thighs which is very hard and planting toes into the pad and stepping forward with the dominant and I just want to know what do most professional Surfers do and what do you like to do? For the pop-up. Thanks!!!! Much success, Kyle

[@chaseherdt4132]

Sick video, just wondering what model pyzel that was?

[@Gorkinsurf]
