Surfing with a Shark at Lower Trestles || This is Livin'

[@hijinxxxx]

The Hawaiian in SoCal: "It's kinda chilly now!" Love it!

[@BLACK05GO1]

What a lot of people from around the World don't know is the water in Cali is cold. Put on a wetsuit and it's no big deal. But tourists show up thinking the water will be warm and they are shocked because the water is cold. We have the opposite problem here in Florida where I live. The water is 86 - 88 degrees from May to November. Hawaii's water temps are usually in the 70s.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

And the air temp this time of year is like 60 degrees

[@MicahsSurfVideos]

It's cool to see Kolohe taking care of the Trestles groms

[@C8mon]

"He needs guidance, he's playing fortnite" lmao

[@teleroi]

Gimme 1 mean shark any day over 100 groms. The man in da gray suit thins out the lineup. YEW!

[@letsssgooo4618]

Love when they say “it looks so good. Look at that” and the camera never once looks at the ocean lol

[@dgonecrazyy7573]

I live in San Clemente and I remember when there was sharks the whole summer so we couldnt go to the beach

[@vincestithit381]

Camera guy, please shoot at what ever Koa is pointing. Dont just shoot him pointing.

Old trick to add suspense and keep viewers glued to screen.

[@skymartinez1755]

I guess its just funny the fortnite player was just probably a fan of yours should have said hay you know who I am? And if he’d said no then ok see ya later lol- the camera man 😆 the lil pro surfers 🏄‍♀️ too cute! Not to mention I was just there! N u in bristles! Jk!! Was there for the blue sapphire waters More then Anything -I’ve been visiting since 2003💙 bet ya didn’t know...😏

[@KoaRothman]

I love friendly sharks!

[@therustyulua2173]

Koa Rothman Those friendly sharks the ones with vaginas ha ha

[@wesleyturner1979]

Sharks come up from the San "O" power plant where the warm water is. Its a GWS nursery!

[@allia.3369]

Koa: They want to be in the vlog! Kids: *one waves, the others look away and say nothing* Koa: *laughs nervously, awkwardly turns around, and walks away* (at 8:30)

[@connormoorehair]

The locals will talk about putting those signs up to keep people from going out and making it even more crowded

[@chasepineda2585]

Connor Moore that’s halarious, do they just buy them online?

[@KoaRothman]

Makes sense i might start doing that on north shore! haha

[@blinds14]

@9:10 that's a trestles and other harder to reach spots problem, anywhere else people usually have jugs of hot water and full on changing stations

[@KoaRothman]

Its a mission!

[@pineapplesurf]

a relaxing surf session...

Groms secret weapon, no fins. Digging the mini Cali waves, Epic bro's! Milk jug of hot water after a sesh is how we do it. What, no one brought? Nice vid, killers all around!

[@brandonmarquette3806]

I was so psyched to you try an air koa. Keep itup

[@briandemirjian1335]

First week of summer. . . summer started like over a month ago and I'm in San Diego

[@elloheem6349]

So sick!

[@luciaseacreature8705]

I believe there are many other ways to get to those spots than this way... * you can park at San O and (12 min walk along beach to Trestles areas) * park at lot (near Carl's Jr) and walk (10 min walk) * there's another parking area (free) if you want to walk along train tracks (20 min) but this way may be illegal way (the other parking lots require a fee or if you live here you can buy annual pass)

[@nolvanaken6084]

Yooo this was dope mate!

Amazing how different our lives are by where we grow up. Those kids will all be great surfers and it costs not a penny to join or be in a “game.” Unlike hockey baseball or football you can play whenever you want as long as yah want and your parents won’t go broke yearly. Lol just awesome stuff

[@nickjamo2383]

He should stick to the big stuff , looks like a very average surfer in the small stuff

[@MicahsSurfVideos]

It's pretty cool that he does put out footage of him surfing smaller waves rather than just highlight videos of him surfing big pipeline

[@nickjamo2383]

Micah's Surf Vids ... fair enough .....but he’s a pro surfer as he’s paid to surf .... all [most ] of the guys on the CT rip in any size waves ... not just the big stuff , he’s definitely not at that level

[@scottprimavera1983]

Nick Jamo yeah maybe average compared to WSL surfers. Ok Kelly Slater!🤦‍♂️

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Would be cool if you'd engage the kids more...(think back to when you were a kid) as well as maybe people in and around the periphery of your sport and maybe, just maybe you might have other interests in the world at large to bring forth in your clips. I think it would add more dimension and more storytelling and make the vlogs more interesting to watch. Btw...jack...clean your sensor.

he takes CBD. smart young man...very cool that he talks up the benefits and supports his sponsor. at least those people do more for humanity than his other sponsors, who only make plastic shit for the consumer, toxic waste for the earth, and shitloads of money for themselves! only thing these kids need to change is the bullshit, surfmart, sponsors.

[@tonysmario817]

koa, you're a nice, humble guy...one of the great surfers of our time, along with your buddy nate... i just found your vlog, and started following you...you obviously need an editor. but you are such a personable man, and good for the sport (as good as anyone can be in this SURFMART industry run by greedy kooks), that i suggest you get an editor that aspires to be as good as you are a surfer!! too much wasted opportunity to capture your professional life in a more fluid, and entertaining way. you are one of the biggest stars of surfing, and your life one of the most interesting to the surfing public at large. you have been at it for a year. there is a guy on maui...a great editor. sure love to see your footage in his hands.
