WHAT TEAHUPO’O IS LIKE WHEN IT’S 6-8ft TAHITI DAY 1

[@sethmishler4237]

I love that there was no music over that first session. The raw sounds from paddling to the kick out were so sick.

[@sMVshortMusicVideos]

That was impressive audio on the waves, you could get a better sense of power, the looks can be decieving.

[@puffysnowball2261]

I’m a non-surfer who got hooked on the all the surfing clips during Covid. Teahupo’o clips are favorites. In spite of these being “small” waves, this is by far my most favorite ever clip. The audio makes my hair stand up. I hope this becomes a trend.

[@jamescollingham9172]

Much prefer the No Audio clips with ocean sounds

[@KoaRothman]

Good to know we’ll keep doing it!

[@RyGuyRy]

@@puffysnowball2261 if your into these type of heavy waves i highly recommend checking out Skeleton Bay, Supersucks Sumbawa, and Nias. If you havent already before. There are plenty others but those are prob my top 3. Might get a kick outta "Shipstern Bluff" break too.

[@timr672]

love the raw minimal editing vlog of what its like to travel there, sleep, pull up, showing the line up.

[@KoaRothman]

We’ll keep it that way!

[@johnmorris6643]

older surf dude giving two thumbs up for the mellow soundtrack at the end of the vid. EXCELLENT. Agree the paddling and wave audio in the beginning was also awesome

[@franmonaghan57]

The ending with the sunset definitely this is livin

[@luizinhoensina]

The thunder from the waves breaking is so sick

[@shorebreak69]

wicked mic on his camera!

[@KoaRothman]

Right!

[@JIMJAMSC]

I had to watch so I could hear "Hey Bra" at least once today. Never surfed a wave with boat access so I found the boarding method at 11:20 pretty cool.

[@Bgrowz-confidentcake]

Stunning visuals at the ending sequence

[@auntyvic]

This is one of my favorite vlogs! Love that you guys included the airport travel and downtime on the boat. That’s what really makes it feel like we’re there with you!

[@clairecoad4034]

Amazing sunset, great waves, looks like a beautiful place to visit....freezing in NZ started snowing on the mountains last night.

[@gregstewart3126]

Such a tropical-beautiful place...sunset shots near end are amazing...more sunset shots..more......Great surfing guys... travel more..go while your young....

[@ethanamata3670]

More sunset!

[@KoaRothman]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@outlaw565]

The place to be! Good groovin tunes to go with the flow!

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

Sick gorgeous rides ! But noteworthy was the dispatch off the boat standing on the board then seamlessly into paddle position low key super stylish 😉 oooh cool there’s the snausages puppy!🐶 beautiful footage beautiful waves epic sunset session so fun thank you !

[@KoaRothman]

Thank you! Those dogs are classic

[@stevel1733]

Some day when your doing your pre surf talk, it would be nice to hear how much stuff cost. Especially surf boards on the airlines, boat rental, etc.

[@Bartonkaren3]

These videos are so awesome! I love how you guys add all the airport travels, prep time, boat time….there is something so raw, pure and authentic in what you put out. It almost feels like I’m there too.

[@tyler6147]

The videography here is next level.

[@clintoncooke4805]

[@rockingrowan]

So good to have the sounds of the ocean!

[@therealjd1503]

I know others have said it but have to agree the raw sound of that place is incredible.

[@ashleighhitchmough8385]

This is some sick editing Jack. Love the raw footage/no music over the clips- so calming to watch. A nice change :)

[@strangelove770]

This is a pretty beautiful episode, guys. The rawness is so good. Jack, holler if you ever want to get paid to go shoot a ski trip in Alaska or Japan or something.

[@KoaRothman]

You will never steal jack from me! Haha

[@samdaurua]

[@jd32k]

This shows a crazy contrast between this "small" and when it pumps. It must be unbelievable when its pumping

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

Traveling is such a nightmare but then sooooooo worth it!

[@alexa-bc3we]

hi koa - your other board's design looks like a 60s/70s verner panton-ish.

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Thaehupo'o is one of those waves where the hardest of shortboarding is done

[@kanaalmenno]

1:42 you have shoes?

[@charlierobert164]

Perfect detox from daily insanity. Thanks.

[@manupercival]

Jet ski's in the water, what a trip... What about before when it was heavy and you had to paddle the circuit your so lucky. It's too easy

[@PatrickSchraner]

Could we get some info on what camera and video gear you guys use? The videos always look so awesome!

[@kms3063]

I love the no music when your surfing , then you can hear the ocean

[@Bskwared83]
