My hangout since 1970. I was 14 and rode my gold stingray with a belly board under my arm. About 10 miles each way. I still hit there about 40-50 times a year. At 65 I still feel young there. I love looking at the surfers and bikes. See old friends I run into. Great times.
Koa nd J thanks for just bring sunshine no matter what coast you are on...you made HB look amazing... a master and his easel....keep it up friend...you are truly legend....
Lots of sting rays plant themselves in the sand, right on the shore. So make sure you move and wiggle your feet with each step. A couple people I know in Huntington, stepped on them and it wasn't pretty.
Huntington is a swell magnet due to the offshore underwater channels.....it's always a little bit bigger from Huntington St up to 17th. One of the surfline forecasters did a whole surfline article about it.
Nice work, you really tore up those slightly mushy waves. I really have to respect your ability to keep a positive attitude and have a blast, even when things are crowded or not super shapely surf. Shaka brah. 🤙
Used to live off Adam's and PCH, miss surfing all up and down the coast, San Clemente to Seal Beach and of course right out my door in Huntington, thanks for the videos!
Maybe every Wednesday should be Taco Tuesday on this channel. Love the footage, the B roll, and the family grom vibe. It says so much about your character that you're kind to onlookers and fans.
a grovel board is usually a short board that is either thicker and shorter and wider than a actual short board. so you can catch mushier softer waves... usually it seem like that here at these beaches.
As a regular to HB over the past 30 years, i can tell you the biggest reason for consistent swell there is also related to the age and size of the dock, which from years of existence, creates sand bars on both sides of it which accumilate after several days of northward current. Which is also why conditions will be super good after a week of northward current swells.
Miss my place right across from the pier. Great times!! Have fun! I've loc'd out at that exact spot before. Lol!! Fun fact: My name of Koa too!! Rescued from the streets of Oahu. 🤙
Catalina island along with San Clemente island block most spots depending on the angle of the swell. Also Huntington draws a lot of ground swell. Come surf blacks in San Diego always firing and a good run of swell right now
somewhere in the early 90's me and my friend would watch the channel 3 broadcast to get pumped the night before waking up really early to bmx out to south side in front of jacks to sponge. at the end of the day jacks would hook us up with nacho's for sweeping and cleaning up a bit. i think we went on a steady like 10 day streak... hb since 88
Keep ripping Koa, glad to see the neck/back is doing so much better!!! Back crap ended my surfing career long ago….. living the dream through your videos and from others on the islands!!! And with. The surf, it must be a south swell, so the northern spots aren’t firing? Try Salt Creek!
Hey Koa, thanks for all the great content. It's cool to see you at HB where I visit a lot. I was wondering if you were going to be there or somewhere in SoCal on August 8th or that week. Thanks.
May God bless you in the water. By the way you have stunning eyes. This video makes me want to get to the beach ASAP. Tried to go last week but the weather was too cold for my liking. I’m not brave enough to surf so I need it pretty warm in the water. And yes wetsuits are a pain in the you know what!!

Koa’s videos are the highest quality of any surf vlog. No fillers, no bs, just good content.
No lie, I respect that old dude doing push ups.
nah he’s just being a puss
He’s not old, he’s 37.
@@C.Hawkshaw right?!?! what am i at 60+?
Listen man, I can tell you’re lying, why even bother lying about that
"4/3" at Huntington in June, me while I'm in boardshorts surfing terrible north eastern waves.
Quicksilver. _Innovate the future. Live in the now_ ®
Lol, I live here and gotta say - Youre invited if you get a ticket out here
HB always gets waves. It gets all angles. Stoked to see you out there 🤙🤙
Koa nd J thanks for just bring sunshine no matter what coast you are on...you made HB look amazing... a master and his easel....keep it up friend...you are truly legend....
Always enjoy Jack's music selection! Thanks you two!
The water out here is totally warm enough for a springsuit or boardies a 4/3 sounds like torture
right on! Great way to start a Wednesday 🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼
Swell Angle and the Catalina Island formation make some spots fire and others not.
Also Huntington Beach seems to get better with a combo of south and west swells
They don't call it surf city for nothing...
also Huntington Beach has a really wide open swell window and picks up swells from nearly every direction

So good to see Hawaiian Royalty at my home break HB. Thx4 the positive vibes brada Koa
Nice!! HB Oiler for life!! Always consistent, never great.

Good call. There were waves in El Porto, but the corners looked better at HP Pier. Ventura County Line looked fun.
Yeah Koa so sick seeing you out there yesterday!!
You guys shred! Make it look so easy when it’s hard as hell. Keep grinding!
Hi my new friend

Welcome to HB, I really enjoy your videos.

I was going to warn you about the crowd but I guess if you can handle the crowd at Pipe you can handle the crowd a HB. Great vidio!
Cali seems to be treating you good bradda. Love the footage.
Love your easy style frontside cutties!
We call it Island block, Depends on swell and direction!, Have fun, enjoy and keep on ripping!
Such an inspiration, great energy!

Good to see you back in the water 💧🙌
School is out and summer started, so the beaches are starting to fill.
Koa is def the chillest dude on TH-cam.
Koa your an absolute legend dude loved the video super sick!

Huntington Bad Boy was that dude at 13:24 haha not only he burned ya but also tried to knock U out with his board haha

Northside was so good the other day before the wind kicked up
H.B Hop. Looking Fun.

Nice session, thanks for sharing bro.
Ya Koa! Good to see you in HB, I bartend here at Sandys (where you parked), next time come in and I'll take care of your drinks for you guys.

Between the channel islands and Palos Verdes there are swell shadows all over Socal
I was out at south side while you were there so bummed I didn’t see you, great vid anyway stoked
June mornings are usually overcast or foggy. Sunny summer days at honeyton = crowds.
I'm the same way with dirty wax haha! My ocd kicks in ;) that board looks so krip. I wanna breadstick. 5'10 u got used ones?
How come you get to paddle out and get waves in Cali, but if I try to paddle out and get waves at Pipe, I get pulvarized by da hooey?
Huntington always has waves I grew up surfing Huntington lived 2 blocks from pier. Salt was another always had.
My home break. I've seen rifling barrels here. Current wouldn't let hardly anyone out but it exists haha
Thanks for sharing!
Bring on the SUP's, soft tops, and surf school crowds!!!
Do I ever have a dream where I can't stand up? It ain't a dream, pal!
Some nice extended Roundhouse Hacks were alright Brother!
Keep ripping Koa, glad to see the neck/back is doing so much better!!! Back crap ended my surfing career long ago….. living the dream through your videos and from others on the islands!!! And with. The surf, it must be a south swell, so the northern spots aren’t firing? Try Salt Creek!
huntington is best on peaky wind swells in the spring or fall. there is always something coming in on the south side
dang I was out there yesterday! its been firing lately. love the vlogs koa!
legend
When the map says flat, Huntington is where it's at! Lol! I feel surfers need to wear more GOLD.
Yeah Now Kdawg! 😏🤙🏾
Nice, I rock a 4/3 in the heart of June too, I even throw in some booties for added measures. Is it a bit too much? maybe, but it makes me happy haha
the music at the intro was awesome

Hahahaha sick !!! whats HB without shreddy HB tho :) . Low tide sucks in OC , HB is the only spot that can handle it. Good shit none the less .
8:10 "What's your name?!" Isn't that the 11-year-old grom who did the first frontflip at BSR dude haha
No, different Cruz. But little Cruz in this video rips, too. He'll be doing the same stuff at BSR soon.
Ripping Koa
Hi, Koa, if you’re still in California you think you’ll be checking out the Ventura area? Suppose to be nice waves next week.
Ahh home 🌊
"made it out early enough to beat the wind" yep that's the name of the game lol welcome to HB
You need to head up to Ventura ! Get out of OC !!
You should surf HB at night by the lights of the pier. Cool experience.
@Lawrence Anderson probably thought you would get COVID from a sand crab. 🦀
Next time hit up Fiesta Grill on 17th for tacos. local hole in the wall, not the main street kind of place. good stuff.
Anyone know what sunscreen that he uses that's reef safe?
What pyzel boards where you using here ?
Koa that hat is sick! Where can we get it?
Come to Sea Legs at the beach on Sunday for some live Reggae music doors at 2pm! I’m playing
