Anyone else impressed with the sound of the raw footage? Heavy. 🙏🙌
That & I thought for sure sum those paddlers were gonna get sucked backwards over the falls but amazingly not.
Crazy right!?
So its not a code red swell? Clickbait. Speaking of bait, let the birds feed without interfering.
The locals need to declare paddle only on a day like this or something, this is solid surf but its not 'CODE RED' and it is really not a tow in type situation, paddle only makes it more fair and a bit more of a pure experience for everyone. And honestly some of these tow ins are really a bit pathetic and on paddle in waves.
yea, not sure if its because we have seen some heavy tow days there or what... but a bunch of the tow waves looked like paddle waves. Not all, but most. I like the rule at Shipsterns, paddlers always have priority
@@webleeoz maybe they were expecting bigger or something, a few did look like tow ins but most weren't.
@webleeoz
Yeah I think it's not as bad here cause you're able to separate the tow group from the paddlers... cause it's all so perfect... sheet glass wave pool type situation where you can keep it separate, knowing exactly what the ski wakes are doing , etc... But yeah it all gets ruined if any tow guy takes ANYTHING a paddler was keen on...as happened here a couple times
cap
live and let live
@@petecabrina if you watch Nate's vid about this same day he makes it pretty clear that they were expecting serious conditions but the forecast was completely wrong. He seemed pretty bummed about it
I love that you guys recorded this without music. The sound and thunder of the wave is insane. The sheer power even at this size - you guys call it "small" LOL. Great footage.
its cheaper for they to not have to pay for music.
Well pointed Man
Inspiring video! Wow - I absolutely agree that immersive video is cheapened by music. JUST GIVE US THE THUNDER!!!
Glad you like it!
i agree , i like electro music techno whatever im from berlin^^ but ur so right my guy the last thing u wanna hear is some bad choice electro or whatever music, huge bonus straight subbed
the amount of towers taking paddle-able waves from the paddlers is disgraceful. half the tow waves where smaller than the paddle ones. Ironically, half of the people towing are hawaiians who complain about haoles taking waves from the locals.
Not sure if you saw Nate's video from the same day, at least I think it was the same day.. He got in early and got out early, he got some good ones and got out to watch the show..he said it was a weird crazy day.
There’s one guy out there that controls and dictates that whole line up. If you know you know
Hate, hate, hate
This swell wasn't as big as expected. They were obviously all prepped to tow. I agree that the small tow waves should have been paddled. But Matahi had that one bomb and others guys had some good tow waves. You have to let the locals set the tone for the day.
There is ONE person who makes that call. If you know you know. Agree on those 5'ers being towed was weird. There were a few that were tow waves. Poto's kid had one, Matahi had one. Tika had one. I thought Ivan had the biggest best paddle waves of any visitor and he doesn't whine.
I remember when Stewart and Severson hit this place and it was in all the bodyboarding magazines as "somewhere in Tahiti". Stewart just called it Teahupoʻo. No one knew how to pronounce it correctly but we all slanged it to "chopes".
So here's this guy in the 90s, in his late 30's paddling in and dropping on bombs on a lid and all our minds got blown by the wave.
Fast-forward to 2023 and you got a crowded lineup and these guys are fucking towing on a 6ft day? Are they doing that at 6ft Pipe next too? That was the equivalent of shoulder popping but instead coming in early so no one else could get on. Like paying someone to climb an epic mountain and getting in every mountaineers way. How could a surfer do that and not feel like a total asshole and just tow out and do it AGAIN?
Boring
Stewart is a legend
Who is the enforcer out there🤷🏼♂️who calls off the tow guys?
Hilarious to see the filmers all smoking in the boat
Dude travelling the world by plane with max pollution and complaining about crowded spots. You have one of the best wave in the world in your backyard, why travel that far ? You are best suited to know what it does when foreigners comes to your spot and its crowded as hell.
He’s a pro surfer, wtf this is like saying why does lebron James play in other cities when he has his own home court.
Week 6 of asking you to longboard
And yet you still don’t take the hint ….
@@TruthIsNot4Sale you trynna scrap
@@TruthIsNot4Sale Who cares? You don't have to read his comments.
@@liamstone6255 he’s surfing Teahupo’o and you ask about longboarding 🤦♀️ as if he owes you 🙄
you go lug a longboard to Tahiti and paddle out at Chopes then scrapy
You’re telling me you’d rather watch him surf a longboard on a knee high day then him charging chopes? No one wants to watch him longboard when we can watch 20min of dry reef slab footage. @Liam Stone kook boi
This is what I’m talking about. Raw footage of chopes is all you need. The power in that wave is insane.
Best Audio ever
Thank you for not music to these videos.
Towers taking every wave but looks perfect for paddling, no respect for the guys wanting to paddle
Hilarious! Show up w 4 other pro bros + camera guys, then complain about the 3 ring circus clown show. Can’t make this stuff up!
my gosh I heard the tow situation was bad that day, but this is next level.... towing waves barely worth paddling. haha
Exactly, too many tow in,so disrespectful
Ok, Superman. "Barely worth paddling," lol
@@jd32k yes… on a 10’-12’ day you don’t typically paddle for a 5 footer…
In terms of faces, you don’t go out on a 20’-25’ day to paddle into an 8’-10’ wave. Those smaller size waves at Teahupoo don’t actually barrel good on the big days.
Your generation of surfers just blow my mind. So frigging GNARLY! I wish I had the guts to surf even pipeline forget Tahiti. Keep shooting amazing content my brother.
Thanks legend!
@@KoaRothman 🙌🙌🙌🙌 stay stoked!
Love the no music, raw feel of this video. I love music in many of your videos, but this one hit it perfectly with just the sheer power and booming sound. Yes, the tow in surfers were a disturbance and honestly kind of ridiculous , looking foolish towing 8 feet waves.
Every vid features Koa whinging about something lol
Just imagine what it's like to listen to his chic.
I had to go back and watch the real code red from 10 years ago to compare. To bad it didn’t hit harder this time.
Its sick to see Koa trunking Teahps, trunk seem like a rare code red sighting now adays. Also, who's the dude in the kayak? lol
Shouldn’t be aloud to tow when the boys are paddling, thats sad. Insane session tho 🤙🏻yeww
*allowed
Great episode, love the audio of the ocean
yeh trust - loving the lack of music
feels like your there
Everything tastes like chalk when you chew your food with your mouth open !!!
the way koa always says "welcome back to this is living...you guys" makes me feel uncomfortable hahahaha it doesnt sound right and is aways off tempo and weird!
4:36 One of the most epic rides I've seen! 🤙
How does the line up work when there are paddlers and guys getting towed in? Is it just a free for all?
These close ups of the barrel exits where you can literally see the huge smiles on everyone's face, ugh! So good! THIS is livin
Best feeling ever!
Whats the etiqutte with tow vs paddle? At my local paddle has right of way but maybe here is different due to the setup? Would love a vid on it.
I feel like I'm becoming a serial commentor on your videos but I gotta say that This Is Livin is a perfect title. Your job is surfing. You live in paradise in what looks like a pretty rad house. You have a beautiful and charming girl, a great group of friends and are a super nice guy to boot. You really are living life. In my own way, I subscribe to this ideology but my accident has fucked up my psyche. I'm working on it but not back yet. I'll get there
Surprised nobody got smoked or smacked. Total Wave Runner chaos.
i wonder if vetea david is kicking himself
This is Living!!
No respect is shown to the NATURE SPIRIT of this wave
hahahah Koa lookin knackered in that intro
Some of those tows were shameful. They should be embarrassed
Amazing skills and waves, but I don't think it was true "code red". Nathan Florence was reflecting similar sentiments.
13:39 badass jetski w the old Yamaha color scheme best color scheme of any motorcycle etc.
So how much $ did all u millionaire surfers donate to the poor people of Tahiti? Plus ur sponsors will scratch some fat checks.
Dude wtf why should they just donate money. They get revenue by tourists. Do you think there’s donation bins or some shit?? Weirdo
Loved the clips of people towing perfect paddle size teahupo’o 😂
the local dooo towing because too much guys not from tahiti come to surf teahupoo
Yes mate looking like a circus out there pretty disappointing that it's got this way like bloody Bali with a shit load more intensity. Heard Ackerman was out and on it early!
Bro 1 "how was it out there"
Koa "ermmmm... not that great"
6:14
The waves😲
7:11 then the casual taking off his hat flex 😂🤯🔥
THE GUYS ARE CHARGING
Honestly enjoyed this much more with no music
Need daily videos of Tahiti
We will be putting out a ton!
Towing on smaller waves just convenient excuse to drop in on everyone else. But I’m guessing a lot of those guys are locals, so what are you gonna do. Ps. I would’ve left the birds alone why F with him when they’re trying to eat.
cause Koa is the messiah he can do what he wants
Make it worthwhile: surf at night with floodlights and throw in sharks and $$$$
Really good video Koa might have been your best!
Ye hop nice surfing keep up the good work
need to get Koa a protein bar sponsorship lol
The sound of a crunching wave!
Appreciate the footy sans music, love hearing chopes thunder. Seems small for tows but sick ones regardless 👌🤙 8:50 yewwww
The tunas are pushing a huge bait ball of fish to the surface. That’s why those birds are feeding on the bait fish. Awesome!!
No where near code red, was way over hyped
Fan, but why always complaining. Waves at Rockies suck, San Francisco too cold, Malibu too packed, town too lame, too many tow teams at teahupo’o. Missouri is some real complaining shit. Get over it brah
Like 2 See Guys Taking Off Deeper Not Just Shoulder Hoping A Head Dip And A Kickout ,,Boring..
Please leave the birds alone. Driving loud, gas-guzzling machines directly into their afternoon lunch can’t possibly be the impression you want people to take away from surfing culture.
You guys are lucky to be able to travel like that? WTF why we can’t get enough time off and money to go to these places? Shitty American dream sitting at home while you’re living life? WTF? Are we doing?
Totally wish they weren't towing this day, sick of watching guys tow chopes on days like this!! super paddle-able and they're just doing laps!!!
Maybe there were sharks or dolphins going after a bait ball and the birds are there grabbing up the fish that come to the top to get away or are injured and easy pickings.
Raw material miners typically compensate property owners, although water's relative dynamism, implies it may not only be a physical entity, but also an institution - the rules and conventions guiding behaviour - unto itself *.
* Even though Einstein's model of the world, that energy is the product of mass and the three hundred million metre per second speed of light multiplied by the speed of light, has a dynamic property from energy only equalling zero when mass is zero - nothing is absolutely stationary - , the finite speed of light characterized by a massless photon, without any vacuum resistance in motion, is unreasonable.
Am I missing something here, or are the tow-in guys scumbags to the paddle-in surfers just like here in Bali on the right that we surf on the east side. ?
Love to see the planning and travel to get there. Love the journey as much as the surf
Me too.
Totally
I think one of these guys does videos of the paddle out. That sounds more you guys speed. Haha
I’m glad you liked it! We try to document everything for you guys
Got a quick question? On the boat interview, what da boys smoking over your left shoulder! Relaxing having fun.
Sorry, open surfing since I was four years old I am now 45. Wow that must be driving you guys crazy when you comes into everything boys sorry this Tobin situation sucks
When you occasionally, briefly look up at the view, it does add rejuvenation.
This Is... Complaining
If people are paddling, surely jet skis don't/shouldn't get priority??????
Wow, I certainly chose the wrong path in life. There is not a more beautiful place on the planet than where you are Koa. You truly are "livin".
maybe consider forgiving yourself
and start over
new day new choices
Haha thank you!
My wife bought those newtons and made the same face you did!😂
SlabTour with Flobros🏆🏆🏆
Guys towing on six footers. Won't be long before Chopes turns into a clown show like Pipe, if it hasn't already...
Surprised you dont see feeding birds like that in Hawaii. Pretty common site fishing on the East Coast US. 100x greater than that too.
😈😈😈 place looks jurassic ... wicked so obviously paddling in one change of tide to high 😈😈😈
Pathetic to watch so many smaller, paddle-able waves being towed into. For sure there were a few bombs that were legit tow waves but watching them get whipped into 5 foot ones in front of people paddling is weak as fuck.
This isn't a tow in condition
These guys are such wimps for paddling. Man up and tow in! Also the surfline livestream was way better.
Damn i thought i was about to watch people surfing teahupoo codde red size...
Oh well
You're a machine Koa sik shit bro
Yeah, there's nothing more annoying than when you can paddle into the wave but you gotta deal with all the guys getting towed in. I mean, come on, get with a guy's paddle it or get out the way.😅
Looks like a bunch of tow in guys stealing waves from real surfers. Super lame.
Eli staying committed to the “ ask me if have meth…….cause I do “ haircut or in some states known as “ the carnie “ . Good for him , girls should like him for him .
I think it’s cute and sexy
Koa do you have the first ever big wave you got in your life recorded? How experienced were u before you hit it?
😈😈😈 classic Nathan fips into school of fish and birds , like im going in bare hands 😈😈😈
The clips of the guys getting towed in on like 6 footers are gold 😂
What cause if you were there you'd be paddling? please
Haha we made sure to put them all in
Maybe 10 out of 100 waves were tow. When u consider the experience u have even just being out there.
Come on bro.....don't fuck with the birds. Show some respect.
Code pink?
😈😈😈 yeah their towing those smaller but more square on to shore shallow sections , even id go one them with vest 😈😈😈
thanks hommie nice insight... fig newtons bro?? lol gnarlier than the waves
Good to see the Boys out on JetSkis harassing the wild life like classic Haoles
All insane ride’s. Blessings. Salute.
Aloha!
Thought some of those waves looked a little small for tow ins. Guess they were getting desperate as it was so crowded?
Who's the guy smoking a grit on the boat? Wow way to ruin a perfect scene.
😈😈😈 the waves are so powerful, it makes me anxious 😈😈😈
Whats the point of driving right through a flock a feeding birds.
I totally saw a humuhumunukunukuapua'a when they rode thru the bird pile
I really like the style of your content, just like being part of the trip
Jack has an amazing eye Koa. You're lucky to have him!
I think this may be that raw sound vibe Vlog banger …
