Koa has earned the right to be cocky due to his epic skill and natural talent, yet he is beyond cool and humble with everyone. Stoked on the content you put out, thanks for the vibes!

[@SouthSwellin]

if you want the cocky arrogant douche Koa (and beyond overrated) you’re looking for last name Rothman.

[@jd32k]

No

[@bradymcphail9690]

I don’t think anyone earns the right to be cocky! People earn the right to be the best! But “Cocky”? cocky is an insecurity of people who don’t believe that they should be at the top, or they are trying to talk themselves or others that they belong there. I personally don’t like cocky people… they are fake! And usually little punks with attitudes like they are being picked on and they have to prove something. Just do your best today, and try harder tomorrow to do better than yesterday!

Koa, I’m an 59yr. old uptight welder who received a life changing Electrocution at work 3 yr. Ago. I had received a whole lot off concussions from extreme sports throughout my life. I have extreme PTSD & Depression from my last injury. The Ocean has always given me comfort & power. I have a lot of Brain injury as well as body injuries with a lot of surgeries. The thing is I’m not ready to give up! I’m hoping to move to the beach of Oregon, I pray that I can at least bodyboard. I know I’m still here for a reason or else I would have died then, or I would have pulled the trigger the times I tried to finish the job the dude started that got me zapped in the 1st place. I know that I was meant to find you as a someone to follow and learn “chill” from. It’s time for me to become a better man!

[@ToxicOverdos]

Thanks Koa ! Man I’ve been struggling with mental health and you’re really giving me and your amazing community the keys to understand your thoughts.

[@itskoasmith]

Trying to share more bru! Check out the Waking up app that one is a game changer

[@flowertree2732]

❤❤❤

[@seblivefloormanager]

I love how you're such a seeker. Watching your awareness and your spirituality grow, alongside your incredible surfing, is a humbling reminder to us all how we're all connected to this planet and each other. The waves can teach us so much. Thank you for sharing your journey and for filming such awesome content ❤️🙏🤙

[@jimstewart2720]

This is right on. Some of these exact same principle are time tested in one of the best self awareness books of all time. Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill. Published in 1935

[@jimstewart2720]

I felt those trips over the falls. NSB has had some nice swell over the last two winters

[@blanketeyblank5309]

Your light shines ! Mahalo. Videos take me back to da kine from too far away...

[@elena7372]

I'm a girl, who doesn't surf well - and a classroom teacher..but Koa, you remind me of what it means to be a child at heart (stoked about life) and you inspire me to be a better teacher. Bless up my friend 🙏

[@BadBoyTobinMclain]

Much love! Beautiful! Thanks for the pro tip on meditation. I recently discovered it myself after contemplating and negotiating with “meditation“ for years! We all know it works through observation of the masters but truly believing that it can transform us personally is an intimidating challenge to say the least. For me, understanding the world around me was impossible, and my confusion and emotional instability from my experiences road blocked me from receiving any sort of salvation from any ideal practice or belief. After an unimaginably arduous Journey of hell through poor decisions based on incorrect assumptions…(Totally fucking up the gift/test/game called life) I am so gracious for the opportunities this life has given to me, which finally returned me to the Peace and surrender I find through Jesus Christ. Now I can meditate!!! Because it’s super necessary and its fuel for transcendence and an absolute supplement to prayer!!!

[@kalebspinks179]

dude your content is so good and I’m so grateful for your videos cause you always just spread the positivity and good vibes and it’s what people need to see! Keep at it bro, much love! ❤️🤙🏼

[@camaroness]

So true!

[@odurandina]

i love the 2 Koa's, Nate, JOB, Brett B & . Ben Gravy. They all give more than they take. Koa, congrats on your Himalayas dream barrel. Thank God your bro's got the drone shot.

[@jansmith3158]

Koa your yt vids are standouts from other pro surfer vids. So great, that you add things outside of surfing to your vids (ie meditation, books you are reading etc). What a amazing view you have from your mountain side Pipe home! 🌊🏄‍♂🌊 Hope you win the Vans triple crown would love to see you in the Pipe Masters. Good luck! 🍀🍀🍀

[@itskoasmith]

Thank you!!

[@camaroness]

I think it speaks huge volumes that I never see negative comments on your channel. It's just always such a good vibe

[@PANDAJIM45]

Dude you seem like the chillest guy. Thank you for the video . Soak in the sun for us

[@stephan4410]

Thanks for the awesome vids! Surfed growing up in So Cal. I'm 71 now and just was so blessed by this video. The Lord is using you bro! Keep on keeping on.

[@monicacampbell4600]

You intentionality and authenticity is pretty terrific.

[@SteveGit25]

need koa on Rogan - would be good chemistry

[@alialisonyt]

I love that you kept the original audio from the surfing clips, it's so fun to actually hear what surfing sounds like for you! Keep it up Koa!

[@GoofyJuice]

My favorite video from you yet! Loved the beginning about mental health and meditation. And then topped it off with some awesome POV and beach shots of you shreddin!!🤙🏼

[@chrismck27]

Your a bloody legend, total hero of a human hey

[@kao9379]

Thank you for sharing. You are doin it! I’m inspired❤

[@talcoprentice7292]

Love you man , your spiritalty rocks

[@hannah_f3]

Dude you are changing people's lives. Your content is inspiring and it makes me want to do more in my life.

[@512byoung]

Positive vibes!!! Yeww!!!!

[@estatemodelrailways809]

Spreading the vibes bro. This one had me laughing hard. Cheers from Australia 👍🏻

[@daneledlow]

Wonderful insight and sick video Koa!🤙

[@martinmayfield1932]

Love this. Def working with this flow

[@alinasworldyoutube]

You are amazing, Koa!

[@nickotten1358]

Thanks for the insight. I’ll try it out.

[@BertoBoyd]

Really inspiring vlog Koa! You should be super proud of this content man. My wife is an MD and is always telling ppl to do pretty much everything you were saying at the beginning. Sunlight in the eyes, begin with meditation (she talks about the “loving kindness meditation”. She even took a course with Dispensa. You’re on point man! I really hope you get a ton more subs with this. You’ve moved to the top of the Hawaii vlogs for me with this one!

[@thesamimartin]

The positive vibes are really fueling what I am currently manifesting for my own life now. Thank you for the inspiration and for Surf Fit. Slowly it’s making an impact!

[@miguelvox]

Thank YOU!

[@11bravo18]

Groovy, man. Far out.

[@wendy3992]

You're very awakened to realize you are not anything but Soul. Isn't great to know you are not your thoughts. They (thoughts) start dying out over time. After I realized these things by meditating and self inquiring I started studying death. That freed me even more. Thank you for using your life to inspire. Enjoy🌻

[@roosroelofs5610]

Love to see your authentic character shining through more and more every day

[@madisonjordan2985]

amazing Koa. thank you brah

[@selenator4life642]

Thank you for the 2 insights you shared today... they are both super helpful 🤙🏼 When you mentioned "feel as though the desire has already come true" in order to more quickly achieve the manifestation... that is also a teaching of Abraham-Hicks... if anyone is interested in learning more from them. Peace, joy and love to you all ❤

[@camaroness]

This is my favorite good vibes surfing channel

[@scottsherk7534]

Keep it coming Koa, thanks for the good vibes!

[@karaz8265]

Thank you for making videos ❤

[@peacepuffz]

I found the Amazonian plant medicine helps alot. Every 2 or 3 years get down there for a 2 week retreat. Been feeling great ever since.

[@donthaveachannel6581]

What we have here is a golden opportunity for kids, who are not doing so good in the digital consumer system. You could tell them forever to do things that are healthy and supportive to them but if it’s from you, it won’t stick. Their currency is the “cool” factor. I think this channel could help and change an entire generation.

[@alemvisuals]

Amazing vid bro! Much love from Spain 🇪🇸 ❤

[@sorayarojo126]

Thanks for your advices Koa. Yeah, it's true, the meditation is so important in our lives connect with yourself and enjoy better the life. Incredible landscape 💙💙💙KOA💙💙💙

[@cushmanexpedition]

Love this Koa! Shoutout Dr Joe. I do how meditations every morning. He’s helped me get a new job and gain clarity on freedom. Which turned into my becoming a wim Hof instructor

[@matildeansaldi1978]

thank you Koa 🙏

[@itskoasmith]

Thanks for watching!!

[@hokuyoga]

Koa, you have the best surfing vlogs! So positive and lighthearted sprinkled with raw and honest insights. I wish I could like this a million times! Totally made my day that much brighter. 🙂

[@oh_itsjenna]

so refreshing to see you post the wipeouts….genuinely thought you were too advanced to basically ever miss a wave 😅 makes me feel better

[@wasabiginger6993]

😂 … as a 60’s NS surfer … never dreamed of using a drone to check out where to go in the moment … Loved the owl on your mug … peering into the camera asking everyone … “whoo whoo, who ARE you REALLY???” 😂 … showing great synchonicity … keep it up … you & brothers are huge wayshowers here into the new multi dimensional Earth realm where walking thru walls is ho-hum 🌈💕

[@bro1andbro231]

Awesome surfing! Great advice! So cool!

[@warrengiang6502]

Love seeing all the bails. Makes it more relatable for the average surfer.

[@itskoasmith]

Hahahah! It was an off day!

[@supergolden.]

@10:03 pretty water 💙🌊

[@claytonkr05]

This is true. The universe is wired in a such a way that if you focus, intentionally, on one specific thing, you will get it. Problem is, most people try to focus on getting 800 different things at once. Great vlog.

[@littlelambccece]

Good advice dude thx

[@monicacampbell4600]

Barrel shots are freak crazy AWESOME, don't get me wrong but shots from the shoulder showing the momentum and mass of the wave ARE SOOOO MY FAVORITE!!!! 💙🌊

[@kaleokeliikoa4156]

Yeah you Koa. Im diggin your humor on everything in life & how we humans gotta navigate um the best we can. Stay balanced cuzzin.

[@kimiams3279]

Just watched this 6mo ago video...😳as I saw u jump off the board...the first thing that popped into my head was the song by Van Halen "Jump"!🤣😂🤣..lol..Still a very Awesome vid! 🙌👍

[@bethclark7890]

WIPEOUTS😋

[@Marlene-Ferreira]

Imagine how Awesome it's Watching You Surfing on My Favourite Body of Water... The Enormity, Expanse and Special PACIFIC..... Watching You Guy's Surfing those Huge WAVES... Similar to "Washing Machine"... Tumbled.. Tossed and Sent to the Beach to Dry.... Enjoying The Aerial View of All Views.. Oahu's Stunning Wave Actions... MAHALO KOA...... Enjoying Your Daily SPOILS... ❤🇿🇦❤

[@dennismcquoid9751]

Love the Sunrise Shack.

[@susie9010]

You are amazing Koa… you are such a humble guy and so inspirational. Just made my list! 🙌🏼

[@vezzy7301]

Yeah Koa! 🤙

[@amp7816]

Awesome vid!

[@kimberlylalonde5610]

Nice job Kia Love you ❣️

[@AndrewCooperr]

Super sick to meet you and talk with you at the sunrise shack today! Epic vlogs man

[@gmoney0077]

One of the hardest charging figures on the north shore with the mind and introspective of a cross between a clinical psychologist and Rick Rubin….positive energy, positive vibes 24/7

[@BertoBoyd]

Oh hey, I forgot to ask what the deal was with dropping Hurley? Would do a vlog talking about that? It’d be cool to know how pro surfers work with endorsements. I’m more knowledgeable about the skateboard world and just wondered how they differ. But one thing is for sure, you are onto a great start with this one!

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Yeww so sick footage

[@TheDinky200]

Thanks for the mindset help koa keep the vlogs coming

[@mathysreiss1055]

Hey Koa would be sick to see no plastic at the Sunrise Shack ! Healthy food in a toxic material is not the best combo ahah !

[@wjstryker]

Really liked the edit on this, especially going from POV to the onshore cam. It lets you see the actual size of the sets. Keep spreading the good vibes!! Yew

[@williammadray7818]

I call it manifesting. I quit making plans because it gives God a chance to sneeze or laugh, then everything might get messed up. Now I have ideas, and I put those ideas into action. With the positive actions, the manifestation occurs when I combined the actions, with positive thinking and motive. Inevitably my goals materialize.

[@nickofchronos]

Loving these edits and the upload cadence, Koa. Keep it up!

[@Aidan.17]

Cool that you showed yourself talking to the ocean 🤙My wife and i do the same sometimes when surfing and thought we were the only ones!

[@tanyaborg5862]

Koa thank you 🙏 so much im going to a job trial today and I needed to hear This you are so inspirational thank you 🙏 agin 😊

[@surfininmy40s]

Most my days are like this. 😮. Except I’m not on beautiful north shore 😢

[@Iseriouslydontknow2]

Pretty freakin awesome..to see people like koa with the same interests as i do💛 MANIFESTING SURFING SMOOTHIES Keep up the good content man !

[@BenInTheWater]

Best one yet!

[@kevinokie9196]

Super great video. Thank you, Koa Smith! Pretty amazing that YOU are listening to Joe Dispenza, Koa Rothman has periodically talked manifestation and the Secret and meanwhile Nathan Florence seems to be agnostic BUT is a secret HUGE fantasy book nerd who has read ALL of the Wheel of Time books TWICE (no wonder his channel's music is so rad). You guys are my surf heroes. So epic to discover these other interests (also deeply held interests of mine) are also present amongst you all: the best surfers on the planet. Thanks for sharing.

[@boujeedagoat8397]

You are so inspirational to me Koa

[@marianahernandez6525]

Naming those surfboards like they're strains of weed 😝

[@babijii]

Ur cool :) Thanks for doing these

[@maddoxmitchell6589]

with the list you were talking about at the start of the video a good idea could be to put something you have already accomplished that you wanted to do (maybe find someone to love or go backpacking somewhere) so you can tick that thing off and so when you see it in the morning you can think ‘oh ive already done something, this isnt impossible and i can do it, i already have, now its just do the rest’ type mentality. just a thought :)

[@delizcas76]

Koa i have done my list, and start to do it, becuase of you, since i watch the ultime surfer, i remember you, in some episodes with your list 🧠, and talking about all in your list check💪. In today video, you hit it again, for me, saying to detect emotions, thought, etc, and identify them, and don’t let them interfere, and also you don’t taking care of how will it manifest, just it will 🤯 Hope i will write to you, later on, that my list it’s manifestating 🤙. Using the drone to watch how the waves are, cool. Since when did you fly drone Watching you surf, always a pleasure. Again thanks for all that hard work, behind each video, to let’s us enjoy with You, your daily life, passion for surf and life itself. 🔝 Greetings.

[@itskoasmith]

KEEP ME POSTED 😍😍😍

[@iancastaing7804]

In love with your content brother! You brought me so much energy with those tips… I’m about to start meditation and 100% pretty confident that’s going to be really useful So much love from Costa Rica Koa!❤️

[@iancastaing7804]

And why’s the color of the video so grey. It could be nicer to see it with real colors like the drone footage broda

[@leighhammondYT]

Hey Koa.. Love the videos with a mix of Surfing/Life and meditation! One thing to try.. the colour profile/Log setting on your vlog camera would be much better if it were set-up to be the same as the drone and board go-pro! It would tie your story together more in the final edit.. make those colours pop in every shot - Just an idea, cheers man

[@louie8488]

yeah man this /\ chuck a lut on there or don't shoot in log! it will make the video so much nicer 👍

[@macjamers]

Love it - "The Law of Attraction". It's great to see you teaching the youngen's to be aware and think about what they want their futures to look like, to write them down and to sit and think that they have already achieved those goals: "What it would feel like, what would be different in your life, what could you change in your life if these goals are met?" Super important for the younger generation to hear things like this. If you are somewhat "Lost" or don't know where to start make sure to make some time to sit down and write down things your into, things your passionate about, things that make you happy. Do some research to find out white kind of jobs or careers exist in that space, or START YOUR OWN company in the industry you find most attractive. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it 🤙 Find your passion, find out how to monetize your passion and start LIVING🤙♥✅🏁

[@arottie4097]

NOW, That's living in THE NOW!!

[@richardstephan9342]

You give great advice brother I'm twice your age and everything you're saying is spot on. Another great meditation tool are the binueral & mononurel beats if you need a little help chilling. You can find em on here. 🥂🤙🏼

[@KneeJerk]

Damn so many good tips in the first 3 minutes, I'm going to download the medi app now and try it, I have always struggled. Also good tips on goal setting... thanks for another great episode, and there hasn't even been any surfing yet! Love this lifestyle...

[@pauline2370]

hey dude, just a little quick tip if you like ! it's been a couple of videos that the image of your videos is kinda flat (in opposition to the images you take with your phone or a drone) ! the problem is that you do not record in the good rec format, you're probably in "log" and must be probably in "rec 709". "Log" is used only if you want to color grade your images. otherwise, cool video :)

[@Liam-oj9fj]

Are you not sponsere by Hurley anymore/ love your vlogs

[@MoonGooned]

Get an agent. You are a star.
