WHY WE SURF DANGEROUS PIPELINE, RISKS VS. REWARD

[@someblokecalleddave1]

Gotta say Koa's delivery and just the way he speaks about all this stuff is weirdly familiar and natural, it's like I'm back in the 1980's listening to a mate on the beach where I surfed here in England. The whole scene and vibe, feels familiar too - it just feels very small and unique, the way he and his camera man and editor puts these videos together make it almost feel like it's just down the road and that I almost know these people. Truly top notch content.

[@robinlathim8221]

I feel the same way, I feel like I'm part of the community there, it's so cool!

[@ec7287]

@@robinlathim8221 Yeah, me too. Reminds me of hanging with a friend from Hauula back in the day.

[@ianseaweed]

Yup, I watched him chatting about a Pipe session the other day when he only caught three waves, which is very human and same as I caught on my last surf.

[@justaradbenz]

Koa, as a fan, I just want to say thank you for staying true to yourself and living the best life someone in your position can. Keep killing it! Will always support you

[@seblivefloormanager]

Thanks for letting us in Koa. Thanks for your honesty. Congratulations on the best wave, I wouldn't have the cajones to drop into ANY of those monsters, so we really appreciate you and your friends taking us along on your rides (Nate Florence 🙌) It is sobering watching you react to one of your friends being half drowned in front of you, and then to switch your head to competitive mode and paddle out into the very same waves. And all delivered in that unbelievably laid back voice of yours 🤣 Dude, you're sick puppy, but I'm so grateful for you and Nate being in this realm. You inspire the rest of us to SEND it. Can't wait for the podcast to drop in the UK late tonight. I'll enjoy it tomorrow morning when I get up at the usual time of 5am for coffee and your podcast. Happy days! Big up to you and Nate from England. PS. I love how the GOAT likes to drop in on your vids 🤣🤙 And so good to see that Billy was well enough to enjoy the prize-giving 🤗

[@tommathews3964]

Congratulations Koa! Absolutely insane conditions and footage! The Shootout came with a price this year, sure glad nobody was hurt worse!
