Thank you for highlighting Ocean Conservation Nambia. They are heros.

[@calmersoundwaves8381]

Not only are guys just pure vibes but the soundtracks you always use are the best out of all the surf vlogs 🙏

[@jotstar16]

So much respect to all of you rescuing and helping the seals🙏 🖤🖤Awesome too see good humans out there! The world needs more heroes like that!🙏🙏

[@Hginc7]

It’s really special what you share on this channel, it’s so much more than just entertainment. Reminding us there is goodness in people. 🤙🏽 Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your world, it’s beautiful.

[@tiaanmoggee6786]

Koa dude you are such a character ! Watching your reactions when catch the seals was priceless!

[@ArdyAryan]

Loved that you saved those seals, Much respect!

[@saulgins]

Hey Koa, I’m glad you enjoyed our flight, great to have you onboard. Amazing footage keep it up.

[@jaydubya3698]

Now THAT was a video with double the goodness...unbelieveable lefts in a faraway place and seals getting nylon line relief. Wow...made my day!!!!!

[@roosdad1]

These guys make every one of my days. Go Naude, Antoine, Denzel, Wally, and the rest of the crew.....

[@ukiop268]

Thank you for helping those poor seals 🦭

[@chasewebster8454]

Helping the wildlife was so rad best thing I've seen on a KZbin channel in a long time I'm stoked to see you guys out there and raising awareness!! Good people deserve good waves like that!!

[@underthesun9654]

Nuamib has been a hero of mine for awhile now! Breaks my heart to know that is going down on this planet as we affect all the wildlife in so many ways. Hero status. Keep it up . The Donkey is the best wave on the planet.

[@MrGarthHardin]

From Hood River, Oregon .. mahalos to da max for your dedication and inspiration of taking a surf vid platform and utilizing it for such a good purpose. Spread da aloha !! Much mahalo Koa and crew for exemplifying awareness to issues of real importance ! Born n raised .. Castle Memorial Hospital .. Kawainui !! Hawaii Nei No Ka Oi !!

[@ppg4667]

You guys are doing God's work with those seals. Massive Respect Koa and Crew 👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@Ian_EL]

The Smith Brothers are definitely the best surfing KZbin channel. They always go out of their way to raise awareness for ocean-related issues. Meanwhile, the majority of other surfing channels do everything they can to sell us their clothing or softtop surfboards to profit off their viewers. I'm not saying that selling product is bad, but surfing KZbinrs should use their channels to promote positive changes to the planet as well....Great job Smith Brothers!!

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Helping those seals bro, so special and heartwarming to see, thanks.

[@Tonyfc3c]

That dude helping the seals... is the definition of GOD SENT... 🙏🏼

[@oscark9551]

It’s heart breaking to see animals suffering needlessly as a result of careless human behaviour. The saddest part is that it wouldn’t take a lot to change this carelessness with education and policy. Great to see your using your forum to raise awareness. Big thanks from QLD Australia

[@korinnaaring9862]

We where just chilling at donkey bay just wanting to see the insane waves and we where like "if we see any surfers where lucky" and then koa shows up

[@christianewald5286]

;)

[@wakeupthebear]

Good karma level meter at full! The seal rescue was so inspiring. Thank you so much for your service to the earth!

[@planetclay]

the surfing, in and of itself, was outstanding but what you guys do for these splendid creatures....just amazing> two thumbs up!!!

[@topazkelly9484]

Keep using your channel to spread awareness and build momentum towards keeping our world safe...in whatever ways we can!! Thanks Smith Brothers!

[@chrisculley3756]

I didn't think there was any freaking way you'd make that tube at around 5:35 5:40 ish.. But as great as that was to watch. What was cooler to watch was you guys helping them damn seals out..

[@ajj4483]

Bless you for doing the seal saving work Koa, awesome and so uplifting to see a pro surfer not just talkin' the talk but actually putting goodness into action. Aloha :)

[@surferstepper]

Sending love and respect for all involved in freeing those beautiful creatures of the torture they were suffering!!! You're the Men!!! Legends!!!

[@realsurfboy8631]

Good surfer, good human Almost cried watching those Animals fellas running free

[@TheSoleDweller]

I am actually a seal from Skeleton Bay and I am grateful those men saved my life. Thank you guys for being there for me !

[@finzfan47]

This is one of the best videos posted by a surfer I have ever seen. I started watching all your stuff and keep it up! Love your attitude. Love how you guys travel and your routine.

[@johnnyheidi2839]

Its emotional watching this , fantastic awareness, sadly not enough people realise what’s happening to the oceans .

[@stevecole2616]

I'm happy that your living the dream and able to share it with the rest of us.

[@richlowe5082]

Keep doing what your doing Koa. The message is amazing, the awareness being raised to a global audience is so strong. So stoked your got rewarded in the barrel.

[@EdwinLap]

That fishing line problem is nuts. So stoked to see those seals freed from that shit.

[@TheHannes]

Love how you have shown so much of what is beautiful in Africa instead of all the bad the media so often shows. Caught some mind barrels there.

[@antonstub8057]

I love techno in your vids, bro. Good stuff. Town had noice waves last week btw.

[@josephsorento1541]

Awesome video! Great surfing but the saving the seals from the fishing line was the absolute BEST!!! That was so cool and so GOOD on so many levels!!!!

[@djizzah]

that was next level positive energy helping the seals, good one!!

[@AtortAerials]

Seal fishing line freeing MASSIVE thumbs up!!!!!!! Thank you.

[@gapnfap9223]

Awesome vid, need more people like the team you helped. World needs people who care for the ocean and its creatures. 🤙🏻 Preserve and share.

[@HOLZMANTV]

GREAT JOB KOA!

[@sferguson1130]

My opinion ( that no one asked for lol ) to the comments I regularly see about Koa’s & JOB’s channels. Although similar in pushing positive vibes, taking care of our oceans, being kind to people, and having fun in the water, I think their brand models differ. They’re both incredible, for the same reasons, and for different reasons. I’ve been connecting more with Koa’s vlogs lately, but I’m also super grateful that they’re both pushing a positive message. They both seem to be living their best life, and both bring different entertainment value to the community. Cheers!

[@hbspecial]

Beautiful work those guys are doing to save the seals. Moves me deeply.

[@SEAHawaii]

Thank you for helping to save those seals’ lives and for raising awareness of the human-made threats they face! 🦭❤️

[@justchirpin3080]

You are quickly becoming my favourite surfer man!!! I have always watched JOB, but I seem to be looking forward to yours more lately!

[@Jesterian]

Koa puts a lot more time into making a great finished product whereas JOB just pumps out video after video which kind of blend together over time. All of Koa's videos feel unique. I skim JOB's videos but I watch these end to end.

[@jeanholt9633]

It also feels like JOB is now more of a marketing/selling machine. KOA is producing really good material
