So we all can obviously acknowledge how talented Koa is, but can we also acknowledge how talented Jack is?! These shots are electric and edited so beautifully!! So captivating 😁😁😁
That’s what I think too! They are a great team!
The plants are oil refineries or powerplants, CA is a major oil-producing state. Lots of oil offshore, so the plants are next to the ocean for easy access, they have pipelines on the ocean floor that go from the rigs to the plants. The ones by Trestles are the remnants of a nuclear power plant that is no longer running. This was built by the ocean to have access to the water for the plant.
They should've never shut San Onfre off. Power prices are out of control here in San Diego.
Thank you Joe Biden. We're all so proud of you.
There's lots of industrial plants in El Segundo. There's a power plant as well as a water treatment plant. The power plant is near the water to have easy access to sea water for cooling (though that plant no longer uses sea water). The water treatment plant is near the ocean for obvious reasons. Then there is the industrial plant right on the beach at El Porto. It's owned by Chevron and I suspect it has something to do with offloading the oil from the tankers offshore, but I don't know that for certain even though I surf in front of it regularly.
@@nachobusiness3922 yes instead we are begging Iran and Venezuela for oil and the prices keep rising. What a great president. He really has it figured out. Won't be able to buy a loaf of bread this summer but at least we have him leading us to hell.
I remember stepping on oil sludge pretty regularly at el Porto back in the early/mid 90s. Not sure if that is still the case.
Love how Koa just walks into the corporate HQ of Quiksilver and owns the place. Tells them (in a nice way) what he wants and needs and they give him anything/everything he wants or needs and he's out the door! : ) Love your videos Koa and Jack!
yes this is how sponsorship works
Every sponsored athlete can do that
Literally one of the most common things for any sponsored athlete. They have custom “frequent flyer” style club cards. I’ve even seen an American soccer team with Wendy’s cards and they all grabbed whatever they wanted with these gold looking Wendy’s cards
I like it when you sprinkle in regular life stuff. Not just surfing
I live in the town that Porto is in (Manhattan Beach) and the power plants are there because they need the ocean to cool down the plant. Out past the plant, there are massive vents that suck in water. They put in multiple jettys in the south bay to protect the plants by stopping the natural sand flow from the LA river & Santa Monica rivers which ended up messing up the surf which is why its always closed out lol
Ur a genius brudda. Thank you for sharing
Come down to San Diego and surf some Black's or Swami's! Then get some killer fish tacos.....
The industrial buildings with towers by the beach are electricity generating facilities. Most electricity generation is done by boiling water with natural gas, coal, or nuclear to create steam. The steam spins turbines to generate electricity. They are by the ocean because they need lots of water to create steam and for cooling. The one by El Porto is a natural gas fired steam electric generating facility.
Anton, your description of why the plants are on the beach is spot on. My old stepfather was a pipe-fitter at San Onofre nuclear plant back in the 70's. I couldn't have said it better than you.
There’s also a safety reason why these power plants are on the coasts, if there’s an explosion then half of the fallout gets taken by the sea.
Since endless summer has been taken, do a movie called endless winter. Touring the globe following the winter swell in search of the perfect barrel. Then end up home in Hawaii just in time for the winter season to start all over!
🔥
Can tell the breakup is taking a toll on Koa. He's trying to fill the void with all the traveling and surfing he can. Hang in there Koa!!!
how yo uknow they broke up?
@@victorg3782 Thats what I was just thinking he had a breakup he keeps talking about suddenly having all this freedom and in the last vlog says he went through personal issues for a few weeks
Damnnnn yeah and she took him off her IG but he’s still got pics of her on his . Homie is down
@@gnargasim2229 we all been there. Get thru it Koa u got this bro!
@@gnargasim2229 I saw that too. I have a feeling that’s what it is..
Nice to see you surfing in my hometown Koa! I believe the left slab that the guy was referring to might be Redondo Breakwater. On a good swell, it will serve you up a good breakfast.
I‘m currently living in France, I surf whenever its possible for me. It would be sick to see you getting waves at the westcoast here !! Keep it up, thanks for your content.
Dear Koa. That is why there are so many power plants by the coast. All power plants need to cool down the steam and most of them use water to do so, which requires them to be near a water source (river, lake or ocean)
Power stations need lots of cooling water, so they build them close to cold oceans. I wish they could build them inland a bit and simply pipe the water to them. Such a pity to ruin the coast line like that. Really enjoy your show. Keep it up!
13:42 That guys was mad-dogging you so hard... like he thought it could have only been HIS wave
It's cool to see that you came from Hawaii and still can get stoked at surfing our beach break crap! Regarding feeling lost because of too much freedom, I suggest you create a few barriers for yourself in your mind or place a few restrictions like say of time as having no barriers is not a good thing as it means you have no game and you need a game to play and a game must have barriers.
Right on Koa! You're in a perfect place to travel, shopping and your doctors. Thumbs up👍🏾
shopping!?!?
he gets paid to wear that clothing
and its all given to him for free
Dude Koa - your eye brows need it’s own TH-cam channel.
Portugal!
I pray you find your path, sink into It and breathe peace. Seek the beauty and poetry of what you love!
The plants and refineries were built and operational long before hanging out at the beach became any kind of a thing. In fact before the Beach Boys became a world wide phenomena, beach community real estate in the South Bay was dirt cheap. Many people lived there because they couldn't afford to live further inland where the jobs actually were. Then the real estate market went bonkers, "life style" became important, and they were priced out of their homes unable to afford the property taxes.
Good to see you back healthy Koa. Your a lucky guy, just breathe and enjoy what comes:-)
I hope you get to go to Morocco one day. I learned to surf there in the late 70's/early 80's at the age of 8 and met Mark Richard and Shawn Thomson when I was 15 and bought MR board for 50 bucks!!! LOL. Now I live in Atlanta, older but still stoked at 50 something, and only get to surf when I go to Costa Rica or around Jacksonville Florida, and Tybee Island Georgia. Enjoy your trips!
The “plant” is the Los Angeles water treatment plant. Right near there is a pipe that goes out two miles into the ocean and when it gets big we call that place “shitpipe” since that is where all the dirty water goes out to the ocean. The big boat you see in the background is an oil boat since there is a Chevron plant right behind the water treatment plant.
Welcome back to So-Cal Koa. We love it when you check out the breaks out here. You have a big potential market in California....
You'll figure it out. No need to rush. Aloha, keep ripping!
The power plants have ocean intakes for cooling. I think it’s old technology. Carlsbad turned the inlet into a desalination plant. HuntingtonBeach is trying to do the same thing. 🕶🇺🇸
I’m so hyped for this travel adventure 🤪🤙🏾
Awesome video Koa…..Thanks Jan Michaels Aloha. 😉🍺
Surf Big Sur,Pfifer state beach. off Highway 1. Under the Golden Gate Bridge. Santa Cruz .North of bodega bay
Should definitely do something in the uk in your moving I think that would be amazing for everyone who supports you there
Warrior..keep pushin'
Glad to see This is Livin back on tour! Europe and Oz sound good to me. Enjoy your freedom.
"not the best wave but it definitely has some size" that's porto for ya
Heyy this is my homebreak! Porto is notorious for having lots of walled out waves lol. Its hard to find a time when its not super walled out. Good luck and maybe ill see you out there!
Would be so cool if you're coming to France, Hope to see you there !
Aloha from France 🤙🏼Keep it up, your vlogs are fire
The beach ground cover is called Ice Plant and are on most California beaches. The plants leave a purple stain on your clothes.
I think he meant the factory lol its for oil.
The region for the plants on the beach is the plants use a tube system to cool down the plants with the ocean water.
keep your head up king. breakups are hard, but time will heal
Europeeeee ! ✌🏼🤙🏽
Mundaka 😋
Las Americas Tenerife
I live here. They are not refining oil there or transporting. It’s electrical natural gas plant. Most of these are located near the ocean for cooling purposes. There’s also a sewage treatment plant that’s near the other one. But this is electrical and they’re located by the ocean for cooling purposes and that’s all it is.
Nice one Koa, cool to see you on the road again. Keep the videos coming. Aloha to you and your brother Makua
How great that you're training to get fit! That's the way to do it. Nice session. No matter if the sea is onshore, you can always surf well! Blessings!
i would love to see you guys come to BALI for the summer night as well pop by and watch the g-land pro and have a few surf sessions there too
You gotta hit up Point Magu! For real! Point Magu is a Naval Base so you'll need a military ID or boat
Loving the vlogs Koa, so stoked to see you travelling the world once again 🤙 Europe is definitely a shoot with some swell headed our way
Besides oil like people said some of the plants are power plants that use the sea water to cool the generators producing power
Cocoa beach FL. That's where the legend himself came from and I would love to meet you 🤙
Can't speak of the other towns, but the plant located just north of El Porto is the Hyperion Water Treatment Plant. Has to be on the coast for what they do. Love the content Koa..keep it up!
Just like Back home on Oahu get electric beach and the HECO power plant. They can push hot water out to sea.
The guy on that party wave was giving @Koa the welcome to Cali biznes 😅 I don’t think he knew who he was sharing waves with 🏄♂️
They put the power plants on the beach because they suck in cold water to cool down the turbines or reactors or whatever and then expel warm water back into the ocean.
Winter surf on the great lakes!!! Yes people do that on lake Michigan
You were close to a left braking wave called Hammerland, but needs a good size winter swell to be on!! keep up the great vlogs Koa. Love seeing you rip braddah!!
The plants are next to the ocean because they pump in ocean water to circulate around the plant to cool all the machines. Then pump the water back to sea 🌊
Blessings Jack and Koa....safe travels...thanks for livin out dreams...so grateful that your neck is good...you and your band of soul journers make an amazing team....
Thanks so much!
YES COME TO AUSTRALIA!
MARGARET RIVER AND PERTH!!
The power plants in California use the water to cool their turbines. And seal Beach the jetty always has 75 to 80° water year round.
you should do a week in Bali. Surf Uluwatu then head out to G-Land in Sumatra. That would be pretty sick to see you rip it up in G-Land and Uluwatu. Get some amazing footage with your drones from the cliff in Uluwatu
Idea for an episode while in CA. Call Pyzel and book a day at the Surf Ranch. That would be epic in so many ways!
Enjoyed seeing my hometown (Manhattan Beach), ever-present tanker and all, in your video.
Koa u should look into meditation, it can help ground you and clear your mind so you can see your path more clearly
Skeleton Bay and one of my favorite videos was Shipstern Bluff. New Zealand maybe,and France.
Go to Mundaka, PLEASE!!!
I’m sure I heard you say pop over to OZ yay where abouts in OZ ?
Europe would be a fun watch for sure!
Portugal !! Ericeira and Peniche
Hola It's cold Koa in the rainbow-state wow.
the dream team right here, jack and koa u boys r killin it
Come to South Africa bro, Mi Casa Su Casa. My door is always open.
Livin' The Dream, bruh! Safe travels!
COME TO THE UK
Ahahaha frustrating sounds about right, welcome to the South Bay Koa! Even then I'm very happy to see our spot gave you a few smiles :)
I live in Aus but I would say they put those plants in to help stabilise the soil.
Top work mate 🤙
I want you to come to SD or go snowboarding
I’m from OC …. They build these power plants on the ocean because the ocean water is used as a coolant…. Free water.easy access
what about the poor fishies that like cool water? 🐠
Glad to see you and Jack in our backyard! Looks like the South Bay treated you well. Pancho’s (Rosecrans & Highland) is a good spot for a post surf meal.
That “left slab” gets pretty crowded when it’s good. There’s another left in that vicinity that goes really good when it’s 5ft.+
Safe travels! 🤙
Aw I'm so sorry you are hurting Koa. Traveling around will be great medicine! Can you guys show the film in Paris? That would rock! I say France, Portugal, Morocco and then OZ! (awesome idea) and maybe Tahiti? Glad you can be around yr friends. Thanks Jack too!
COME TO SAN CLEMENTE!!
god damn it so a good surfer makes porto look so rippable and the rest of us are out there looking like it's completely unsurfable lol even when its 5'
Come to Cornwall, UK 🤙
Cornwall UK for tour
my home break yeww
Can you show next time your aftersurf meal in Cali?
Great seeing you on the break I grew up on.
Hey El Porto! I used to surf there when I was up there during college!
Those plants on the beach are power plants and they use the ocean water to cool down the reactors down
Come to South Africa !! Jbay and west coast will be crazy !
Come through to Long Beach NY for a this is livin movie premiere! :)
Should come down under, specifically Western Australia. The south west is awesome, and big surf up the coast at Kalbarri and Red Bluff just north of Carnarvon.
Would love to see the film on Maui! I have venues available...PM for details...Love this channel!
Bummed I didn’t see you out! Hopefully you are surfing this weekend. But head up north, go to Oregon and surf the coast! Try look up short sands, solid lil wave. Or if you like on point break cape kiwanda!
Cool episode, if you guys your for this is livin 2. Come down to SD, for a show. Enjoy your travels, happy trials. Sick footy jack
Come to Seattle to have the premier.
Koa jack, thank you 😃🤙 swallowed some scetchy foam 😂😂 it’s the worst, looking forward to more content when you guys are travelling. Safe travels 🤙
powerplants on the coast provides much needed cool water to cool off the generators
Go to Santa Cruz! Most iconic place to surf and I haven’t seen y’all there. Steamers lane is 🔥
Loving the cali vlogs yeww 🤙🏽
Come to Australia brother 🤙🇦🇺
always rooting for you both, we always want to know how y’all are doing!
Come to Switzerland 🇨🇭 at Alaïa Bay then some river surfing in Munich, then hit the real stuff in France 🇫🇷
