Interview Jack & Zoard!! Would love to hear their perspective on what it's like to follow you guys around 24/7. Their approach to filming/editing content, and some comments on the highs/lows of the working-friendship/relationship/partnership with you guys.
This podcast is just so "light" to listen. Like the way you guys talk about and explain stuff is just so natural. It's informative and really fun. keep on going dudes! if you guys ever run out of topics ( which i doubt) would really appreciate a : top 10 world surf hidden gem spots or where to surf in hawaii for each level of ability, good alternatives to pipeline to get the skill to surf it ( like your progression when you were kids throught all the spot steps to get to pipeline and identify them so tourists can maybe do that instead of crowding pipe). thank you for the content , hyped for the EP. 11 !
Pretty sure they don’t want their local spots and the secret spots any more crowded 😂😂put your time in and pay your dues before stepping up to heavy spots.
Like when Makua threw a hissyfit on MTV in 2002 on I wanna be a pro surfer reality show. People don't forget Makua lolol. Same one where Sunny García knocked a 17 yr old kid out on the beach for looking at his wife.
Just an fyi, air bnb is responsible for the insanely rapid rise of rent costs in Hawaii. Seems like something that wouldn't even be on the radar of Hawaiian surfers for investment. Think about the long term results of investing. Food for thought
Another Epic episode my brothers , looking foward to another guest , Koa's dad Eddie would be Gnarly , Makua , Tamayo Perry, maybe even the water patrol Gnarly dudes , keep up the great work lads , all the best From Margaret River 🤙🌊💚
Nate and that "Epoxy" shit had me rolling! John says "it's your board" and Nate finally quits beating his head against the wall! I just really enjoy the frank, open "conversations" you guys have. It's like you're just sitting around shooting the shit and letting us sit in. Totally natural! I'd love to see Luke or any of the North Shore lifeguards and hear some of their perspectives.
Nate’s best videos are the ones where he gives tips. There was one about wipeouts i recall, something like trying to spot light through the foam, that I thought was great. I wish you guys could do more of those, and have examples of clips that give a better visual. I was trying to take in what you’re saying here, but the only take away is square shoulders on a steep drop, press into front foot harder. I was one of the YT people urging Nate to not go as heavy working out. It has been my experience that if you overdo the weights, you get injured. At 41, I workout more like Laird, for longevity, than I do to deadlift for strength. Deadlifts have taken out more discs in more people than they’re worth doing. There’s just certain lifts that aren’t worth it. Plus, you don’t necessarily need heavy heavy weight to get time under tension. You can pretend 100lbs is 1000lbs. But, training to avoid injury is all about proprioceptive exercise.Do all the stabilization and mobility training no one else does. Then deadlift every once in awhile. And you’re right Nate, shoulder mobility is everything for a surfer. I’m 37 weeks into surfing through a rotator issue while doing everything possible short of surgery to keep pain at bay. I let my shoulder get tight. Now I’m paying the price.
I surfed for many, many years in the cold water of Northern California. Im now in my late 60s and now both knees, one hip, one shoulder, and some degenerated discs in my back. Surfing definitely takes a toll on one’s body (I’m sure the rock/ice climbing, skiing, and mountain biking contributed as well). With that said, I wouldn’t change a thing! (Pro tip: have an orthopedic surgeon in the family)
@@vertical8infinity You'll do great! Where in NorCal are you surfing? I grew up in Pacifica (went to Terra Nova). Stay with it, it's a great sport to get into :)
You lads honestly saved my life I’m not going to go into it cause it’s too deep but I was ready & willing & my phone notification cmon & it was your podcast with John & I put the shit down watched the podcast then got up flushed that shit down the toilet went surfing & everything is getting better but thank you 🙏🏻 legends you will never know what you did for me thank you 🙏🏻 from me & my family ✊🏻💯🤙🏻⚡️ 🇦🇺

Love you guys! Id love to see Koa's dad and Nate's mom on or whomever taught y'all to surf and then have clips cut in or you as kids learning, then teens etc I think that would be cool.
Pushups and pullups perfectly replicates paddling. If you can do 70 full range pushups in a row, and 20 full range pullups you will be able to paddle your ass off regardless if you surf regularly. I know because i surf 3-4 times a year and ive always got more paddle power than anyone in the line up.
Mason Ho as guest - Yes! & CoCo & of course Michael Ho; all wildly talented & fun! I agree on Makua as a guest and add Nathan Fletcher (& Herbie Fletcher); Kai Lenny; MOANA Jones Wong; Paige Alms; Mark Healy; Luke Shepardson; Billy Kemper; PLEASE Dave Wassell... is that too greedy?! Love both of your surfing & attitude of appreciation & pushing yourselves & each other.
Yeah, he was in White Rhino. And he's definitely one to talk story; and he's hilarious! I should have included Keala Kennelly. Kalani Chapman (& Owl Chapman). What do Nate & Koa think about the WSL CT Shaper's Challenge?
Awesome...number 10 already. Koa That sunscreen line keep it simple easy and awesome , call it KOA then In your this is livin font it stands for keep on applying 😉
10 minutes non-stop freestyle swimming for warm up then 8x25m serious sprints 30 sec intervals. Build your swimming up to this trainnig 3-4 times a week plus a bit of chest and back swimming (5 mins each) and within some time you'll have great paddling and much easier and earlier drops.
If you guys happen to see this comment before the next Pod could you maybe discuss what the most intimidating/scary spot to surf is? & why? And maybe go down the list of just super sketchy spots? Would be informative to know how to avoid certain situations at said spots! Epic pod Vlog legends
Also throw up an air tutorial, Break down clips, and show what is right and wrong. I’m not a great skateboarder, but learned air by using a skateboard, acting like I am headed down the line on a wave and hit a little sidewalk driveway bump and ollie off in a 180 movement, it helps a lot. We want to know from the pros!
I used to get all the mags as a kid and at the time I loved them but I prefer how things are now with TH-cam. Like you guys mentioned it’s kinda all out on the table whereas before I think it was too easy to idolize a**holes (hence, don’t meet your heroes). I also think that the reason people love even watching “bad” surfers is because there are so many people who love surfing so much who are landlocked or obligated to a job for one reason or another and believe it or not seeing any kind of surfing was better than nothing. Still love y’all and the podcast v much!! Just offering a different perspective.
Never did like epoxy boards. They always felt too light and like I was floating on top of the wave rather than being able to dig into the wave if that makes sense.
Nice pod episode guys. Can see the progress and Nate’s learning the mic volume distance too! 🤙🏻 keep ‘‘em coming along with the vlogs. Shout out from Bali. Be cool to set up an intro clip too!! If you need OG music hit me up 🎶
Love how you guys relate to and understand the average surfer like myself. For you it’s making a barrel but for me it’s just popping up and catching a decent line. Nothing like that high.
Took me 7 years. Started at age 40. I’m now only a yellow belt in surfing but starting to understand what I want to do out there. I’ve always surfed twice a week though. I don’t miss.
Thanks for sharing guys. I've been trying to improve my janky takeoff which I learned 10 years ago. I'm at 6 months and was feeling defeated. Was nice to hear that airs took Nate 9 mos.
I feel like you guys are such an outlet for those of us who once were hardcore surfers and can't be there anymore. I haven't surfed in 9 years now and, it hurts bad. May you guys surf all your days.
Random food for thought if you guys are willing....you spoke of the changes with making money these days and opportunities with social media. Would be interesting to hear how you collab with your filmers, do they get a set %/ is it on a case by case basis / or set fee? What % of your earnings now comes down to social media i.e. youtube monetisation + online brand collabs? think it would be helpful for the groms to hear from the guys on the coal face. Few of my childhood friends slipped through the cracks because they avoided social media, were still in love with nostalgia of surf mags. i dunno maybe the new kids are all over it, just a suggestion.
@KoaRothman -- Question: is the squared-off shoulder emphasis specific to late takeoffs, waves of a certain height, or do you find that you've implemented this across the board on all takeoffs/wave types? Loved the episode, particularly with the technique/training gems and your honest insight about progression/learning.
What's cool to see. I've been subbed to your TH-cam channels when you only had a few thousand subs. Now not only have you become even better surfers your ability to communicate all the things you do through your channels has gone through the roof. It's inspiring
Was listening to your recent podcast, you guys will totally shred at 60, none of us older guys were in the gym for strength training, most of us are not pros, however if we are doing extreme sports I think the gym is very important, at 51 I paddle whitewater and if I am not working out I typically avoid class 4-5 runs
I retired at age 52 and have started surfing 🏄♂️ at age 54. Wish I started younger, but I still surf most days here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Start creating passive income and you will never need a 9-5.. Thanks for the videos!
I have a home paddle training solution! Body By Jake: Tower200 door trainer. I lay on top a 3-4 ft pedastol and paddle with hands through bottom door holds with deep strokes. Just make sure hands don’t hit floor. Can use it’s variable resistance. I work beyond 9-5 sometimes, and live 45 mins from shore and lately weekend conditions suck. Mix in the Tower200 with some pool laps and stay paddle ready.
Thanks for this funny episode! About getting better. Sometimes If i surf a lot on a trip (1-2* every day) my legs get so weak, that i Surf worse than before (tend to bend my legs less, can Not push so hard in Turns). I train legs at home once a week and Not on the Trip. Obviously i don't want to Take half week Off to recover on a surftrip. Do you know that? What do you suggest to do? Thanks. Looking forward to the next episode.
Gents, you have the podcast magic. Chemistry. Don’t be afraid to disagree, we’re tuning in to know what you both think, …bounce. (Ive had a few whiskeys so I have the comment chemistry)
Mr. Nate… This is the smartest I’ve ever heard you talk… I tell everyone that the first Surfer had a stand up paddle and then it broke… Then he had to lay down on his stomach tweak his neck and hop to his feet… Dumbest thing ever. Debbie downer has no more pop up and no more neck… Hence the word stand up paddle… Also check out the 15 year history on SHW… On the stock ticker… That’s a reason I retired early
I’ve only left the country on one surf trip… I went to Mexico a couple years ago and stayed with the first pro surfer… Google Corky Carol… Sponsored by a beer company doing commercials… Hey Corky get a job… Ha ha ha you guys are pulling it off Hot chicks nice cars good waves… Try and invest early and make your money… You’re breaking new ground… Because… There’s nobody doing social media in their 60s or 70s with a big following… You’ll be the first generation… That’s until China hijacks the cloud… But that’s another story. Love you guys keep it up… Maybe naked position his girl when she’s sunbathing on her belly… That was so intentional and I wonder how many extra click she got… It’s all about the algorithms my brothers
How about bring Eli on. He's so gnarly. Erik Aeder sent me a photo of Eli at Jaws during his heat on a Bomb. And now I guess he is a stunt man? You'd have stories for days w him. Good job on channel. P.j. Rincon.
Buy low, then sell at profit (don't wait for it to get even higher, pull the trigger, no regrets), NEVER buy and hold, especially over a weekend. Never, ever fall in love with a stock. This is from hard lessons I've had in my 68 years.
Y'all should do a segment on traveling with oversized boards. Or just traveling with boards period. I won't bore you with my last 2 adventures, but commercial airlines are becoming a problem for older surfers.
Surfing screws up my back knee. That knocked knee inward position for good backhand surfing particularly. Ugh. And yeah terrible for my neck too. And I’m not even remotely charging waves of consequence like you pros. Cuz I mean any elite athlete of almost any sport will just push their bodies to point where there’s some type of damage and often long term.
Guys epoxies are great for clean conditions due to the lightness, but we’ve gone to glassing them heavy so there more like a poly 2x6oz deck 16oz bottom. Way better and super strong. Also yoga can help balance you! I surfed almost 60 years and definitely did not grow up cross training. Surfing is really hard on your body because you over develop one group of muscles. Investing in the stock market is for the rich. I knew a guy who had 50 seats on the stock exchange and could literally change the market! Buy Realestate at the right time , best thing I ever did was to cash out of the market and bought a house! You guys are so funny. Ps Nate your mom use to live in Monmouth Beach right near me! Never met her but my step son had your step brother in one of his classes:)
Super upset you guys didn’t call your podcast “Splitting the Peak”. Anyway, y’all should do a drunk questions episode where y’all get drunk and we ask you super random questions. I mean, only if you consent
I have the Chuck Norris total gym and that thing that certain exercises on there you’re doing your stretching your legs and you’re getting that burn under your knees plus you’re getting your back muscles and you’re on an incline so I don’t know I feel like that total gym thing is a great tool for replicating paddle or if you can just go to a pool or even a gym or ship with a pool nothings better than swimming.
The term “flow state”describes a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity. They are directing all of their attention toward the task, and they do not experience many thoughts about themselves or their performance. Some people refer to this informally as being “in the zone.”19 Apr 2022
Your take about magazines etc. was really interesting. I feel like half the stuff getting a lot of exposure is just because a big brand or something like Stab is pushing it. For example (just an example not hating) the first episode of the O`Neill "Maps to nowhere" series was so underwhelming and they were pushing that narrative of this "secret" spot and how fickle it is etc. so hard, yet the spot is kinda known but just really annoying to get to I believe. Others maybe made way better actual discoveries lately and their movies and stories just got overlooked because they didn't have the funds to get the business hype train absolutely promoting the shit out of it... same probably happens with a lot of things
Been following both of you for a while but just started surfing (moved to Costa Rica for 10 months). This past week I finally started to catch unbroken waves 😂 and it was the best feeling ever. Super small waves but still felt great, just smiling out in the ocean. And to be honest, at this point there’s no such thing as a bad session for me. I’ve always wanted to surf so even just eating shit over and over is enjoyable. Love the podcast and your channels.
Guys you are the Best! Suggestion: if you could work out the audio it'd be great to broadcast outside under hawaiian palm trees... The vibe would be awesome!
Interview Jack & Zoard!! Would love to hear their perspective on what it's like to follow you guys around 24/7. Their approach to filming/editing content, and some comments on the highs/lows of the working-friendship/relationship/partnership with you guys.

@@KapoorAri ---agree--it would be very insightful.
Excellent idea! Love to get their "behind the lens" perspective!

Such a cool dude too. I love when he does the WSL commentary
Like when Makua threw a hissyfit on MTV in 2002 on I wanna be a pro surfer reality show. People don't forget Makua lolol. Same one where Sunny García knocked a 17 yr old kid out on the beach for looking at his wife.
@@timeli6021 These times were gnarly. You can probably find some mad story ike this about every singe pro surfer back then...
Makua seems like a gangsta thug and talks like one too
imagine his stories of fighting surfers in the line up and back on the beach
@@timeli6021damn sounds like you don’t want to see him on an episode 😂😂😂😂
Just an fyi, air bnb is responsible for the insanely rapid rise of rent costs in Hawaii. Seems like something that wouldn't even be on the radar of Hawaiian surfers for investment. Think about the long term results of investing. Food for thought

It's like you're just sitting around shooting the shit and letting us sit in. Totally natural! I'd love to see Luke or any of the North Shore lifeguards and hear some of their perspectives.
Nate’s best videos are the ones where he gives tips. There was one about wipeouts i recall, something like trying to spot light through the foam, that I thought was great. I wish you guys could do more of those, and have examples of clips that give a better visual.
I was trying to take in what you’re saying here, but the only take away is square shoulders on a steep drop, press into front foot harder.
I was one of the YT people urging Nate to not go as heavy working out. It has been my experience that if you overdo the weights, you get injured. At 41, I workout more like Laird, for longevity, than I do to deadlift for strength. Deadlifts have taken out more discs in more people than they’re worth doing.

I let my shoulder get tight. Now I’m paying the price.
Keep rockin the Podcast and your indie channels You both are sooooo fun, awesome and informative. Keep it going!!!
Just swim to train paddleing muscles!!!!!Use a boogie board in the pool to get even closer to the paddling position.
I surfed for many, many years in the cold water of Northern California. Im now in my late 60s and now both knees, one hip, one shoulder, and some degenerated discs in my back.

“They should just quit their job” 😂😢 if only we could
The current market hard to trade. Give it some time for our economy to settle. Too many things going on and plus the repercussions from the pandemic

Thanks for this funny episode!
About getting better. Sometimes If i surf a lot on a trip (1-2* every day) my legs get so weak, that i Surf worse than before (tend to bend my legs less, can Not push so hard in Turns). I train legs at home once a week and Not on the Trip. Obviously i don't want to Take half week Off to recover on a surftrip. Do you know that? What do you suggest to do?
Thanks. Looking forward to the next episode.
Next Koa and Nate cooking channel
Gents, you have the podcast magic.
Chemistry.
Don’t be afraid to disagree, we’re tuning in to know what you both think, …bounce.
(Ive had a few whiskeys so I have the comment chemistry)
Hi Koa, love the pics and vids! Curious if the "I Love A.S.S." is referring to Artikal Sound System (Reggae band)?
Mr. Nate… This is the smartest I’ve ever heard you talk… I tell everyone that the first Surfer had a stand up paddle and then it broke… Then he had to lay down on his stomach tweak his neck and hop to his feet… Dumbest thing ever. Debbie downer has no more pop up and no more neck… Hence the word stand up paddle… Also check out the 15 year history on SHW… On the stock ticker… That’s a reason I retired early
I’ve only left the country on one surf trip… I went to Mexico a couple years ago and stayed with the first pro surfer… Google Corky Carol… Sponsored by a beer company doing commercials… Hey Corky get a job… Ha ha ha you guys are pulling it off Hot chicks nice cars good waves… Try and invest early and make your money… You’re breaking new ground… Because… There’s nobody doing social media in their 60s or 70s with a big following… You’ll be the first generation… That’s until China hijacks the cloud… But that’s another story. Love you guys keep it up… Maybe naked position his girl when she’s sunbathing on her belly… That was so intentional and I wonder how many extra click she got… It’s all about the algorithms my brothers
How about bring Eli on. He's so gnarly. Erik Aeder sent me a photo of Eli at Jaws during his heat on a Bomb.
And now I guess he is a stunt man? You'd have stories for days w him.
Good job on channel.
P.j. Rincon.
Buy low, then sell at profit (don't wait for it to get even higher, pull the trigger, no regrets), NEVER buy and hold, especially over a weekend. Never, ever fall in love with a stock. This is from hard lessons I've had in my 68 years.
Y'all should do a segment on traveling with oversized boards. Or just traveling with boards period. I won't bore you with my last 2 adventures, but commercial airlines are becoming a problem for older surfers.
Surfing screws up my back knee. That knocked knee inward position for good backhand surfing particularly. Ugh. And yeah terrible for my neck too. And I’m not even remotely charging waves of consequence like you pros. Cuz I mean any elite athlete of almost any sport will just push their bodies to point where there’s some type of damage and often long term.
Hilarious. Laughing at the investment shenanigans 😂. You guys are naturally funny, great episode.
TH-cam is good all the way until they don’t agree with your content. Then CENSORSHIP 😳
Guys epoxies are great for clean conditions due to the lightness, but we’ve gone to glassing them heavy so there more like a poly 2x6oz deck 16oz bottom. Way better and super strong. Also yoga can help balance you! I surfed almost 60 years and definitely did not grow up cross training. Surfing is really hard on your body because you over develop one group of muscles.
Investing in the stock market is for the rich. I knew a guy who had 50 seats on the stock exchange and could literally change the market! Buy Realestate at the right time , best thing I ever did was to cash out of the market and bought a house! You guys are so funny. Ps Nate your mom use to live in Monmouth Beach right near me! Never met her but my step son had your step brother in one of his classes:)
Your talking about replicating swimming. What about Zen8 swim trainer for triathletes
Super upset you guys didn’t call your podcast “Splitting the Peak”. Anyway, y’all should do a drunk questions episode where y’all get drunk and we ask you super random questions. I mean, only if you consent
you guys should do an iron chef competition on the pod, that would be hilarious
I miss the tracks mag days. staring at the same image, day dreaming about how it would be. posters on the wall etc.
For paddling fitness have you tried Chris Mills’ (surf strength coach) paddling bands and what do you think?
I have the Chuck Norris total gym and that thing that certain exercises on there you’re doing your stretching your legs and you’re getting that burn under your knees plus you’re getting your back muscles and you’re on an incline so I don’t know I feel like that total gym thing is a great tool for replicating paddle or if you can just go to a pool or even a gym or ship with a pool nothings better than swimming.
The term “flow state”describes a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity. They are directing all of their attention toward the task, and they do not experience many thoughts about themselves or their performance. Some people refer to this informally as being “in the zone.”19 Apr 2022
Hell ya!!!
Everyone that surfs exercises so they can surf better. Please get Kelly Slater. Topics: sauna, swim, surf.
Hey koa, you should tell Nate to stop posting click bait titled videos on Instagram. He's gonna lose viewers for you guys. Just food for thought. Bye
Re. bending neck backward: Not healthy. Ever heard of 'parlor strokes' ( due to pinching of a vertebral artery )?
Your take about magazines etc. was really interesting. I feel like half the stuff getting a lot of exposure is just because a big brand or something like Stab is pushing it. For example (just an example not hating) the first episode of the O`Neill "Maps to nowhere" series was so underwhelming and they were pushing that narrative of this "secret" spot and how fickle it is etc. so hard, yet the spot is kinda known but just really annoying to get to I believe. Others maybe made way better actual discoveries lately and their movies and stories just got overlooked because they didn't have the funds to get the business hype train absolutely promoting the shit out of it... same probably happens with a lot of things
Just like Bengravey you guys disappeared what happened… It always happens soon as the podcast gets new microphone… Just saying hope you guys are good
such a difference Poly vs Epoxy. Very interesting and I'm a 59 yr ol amature.
Like the candid conversation while i'm over here folding laundry. Surf's blown out here rn. Can you share the link to that burger recipe?
Been following both of you for a while but just started surfing (moved to Costa Rica for 10 months). This past week I finally started to catch unbroken waves 😂 and it was the best feeling ever. Super small waves but still felt great, just smiling out in the ocean. And to be honest, at this point there’s no such thing as a bad session for me. I’ve always wanted to surf so even just eating shit over and over is enjoyable. Love the podcast and your channels.
Guys you are the Best! Suggestion: if you could work out the audio it'd be great to broadcast outside under hawaiian palm trees... The vibe would be awesome!
