🙌 Yeah Koa, loved the way you guys put the GoPro angle and land angles together. Stoked!

[@wademeeker425]

Seeing you being able to always be so present is something that I find truly inspiring. You are always so in tune with your surroundings and yourself that it makes me aspire to be able to do the same.

[@mykeyoh1536]

Proper pre Eddie Bruce Beach Breaker 🔥

[@toddbefield1100]

[@CC-ys8qq]

WOW INTENSE

[@alikajohnson9250]

Sick one

[@Sol_Weird]

...dude, the stylish ride into the beach break barrell! Should be automatically in the Eddie, just for that one!

[@seancallahan1312]

Epic! I remember my days getting comfortable in giant waves. I miss that. Really great positioning and well surfed! Backside, even. And you're making your waves, not just sending it from too deep. Very well done. Hope you get into the Eddie. I quit contests in 1980, but I always said I'd go back if I got an invite to the Eddie.

[@paulobezerra7109]

Yah blessed waves keep on ride

[@mikeross7725]

Love your stoke mate

[@BrunoGrudny]

Nice. Took one all the way in. That's some big dow material

Koa Always inspiring me to be better 🧠 Footage editing place surf 🔝 Greetings

[@itskoasmith]

Thank you bru!!!

[@wakeupthebear]

I usually just shut life off while surfing. Contemplating fear on the beach. But 30 foot waves would make me fear while surfing. Why? You make it look so fun! Thanks for the stoke and beach break barrel to close.

[@jaredburke7461]

Nice to see a local Maine surfer on the pod get a minute to share with you after eating it on a bomb next you. York ME

[@claytonkr05]

Awesome vid! Is it pretty rare that the swell over performs with that short of notice like this one did?

[@8Matt8]

Wow that was incredible!

[@GoonChief]

this dudes face is crazy lookin

[@Bonnieham]

Mate…cameras mounted on your board looking back at you looks so lame…water shots, land shots, and maybe drone shots if its in the right place, are the only way to see the wave and your ride properly…just saying…respect for you getting out there in huge surf.

[@34thncrenshaw]

the gopro angle on the board is trash not gonna lie
