Koa, here is a useful tip for putting on a wetsuit. Put a plastic bag over your foot before putting on the wetsuit. Your foot will just slide right through then pull bag off foot once through, repeat with the other foot. Works especially well with a wet wetsuit. Old trick i learned from some OG's here in sunny South Africa.
Surfboard, towel, wetsuit. That’s all you need. Board lasts 5 years, suit lasts 4 years, towel last 6 years... don’t need no sponsor. Surf for yourself.
Welcome to california! I always figured guys that ride 20 plus foot waves would have no interest in waste to chest High trestles. Great channel I subscribed love to think about surfing everyday!!!!
I like to go to Doheny with my daughter & her fiancé after they get off work. We wait for sets, take what we can get and always have fun. But yes as soon as we get out the sets roll through - every time!
I'm a NorCal surfer and put on a 5/4 hooded suit every sesh... pre-surf warm up, and no sunscreen needed. What's really fun is pulling the wetsuit up to your waist and realizing it's on backwards 🤣🤣🤣
if you want to eat healthy avoid all sugar... have a bullet coffee then have salad with avocado salmon really good salad dressing... lots of water w himalayan salt added
Dandelion is super high in iron. Keep it healthy. Be thankful that you can afford to travel and have access to such healthy/expensive food. Health is wealth. 🤙
I really liked your video! Very calming to watch you be in California and in the ocean, surfing. Surfer's and yourself make surfing look so easy! Very cool to be outside! 🌍😘👌🌊☉🌱
LOL!! I thought it was only 50+ year olds who felt putting on a wet suite was a work out! But you could've use a spring suite ( I surf in HB and other parts of Orange County) and it would have been way more easier to put on. And warm enough too. I'll use a full suite when the water is under 60F, otherwise just a spring suite.
I think the Wedge and Cylinders are the best wave(s) in Southern Ca.Trestles never barrels,it`s just a mushburger...good for learning on.The Wedge is much harder to surf for a number of reasons,overcrowding being just one.Quiksilver factory used to be in South Costa Mesa,in the industrial complex down the street from where I grew up.When I was a kid,used to be able to get factory seconds there for 5$ a piece for boardshorts.I think it`s still there in the old neighborhood.
Cool. Hey Koa, do you have shirts that have less or no cotton that we can use to surf with? Dry tech shirts. Cotton adds weight retaining more water. LMK, Thanks. Cool Cal trip.
Peruvian trick put a plastic bag on your feet and the wetsuit is going to slide easily Koa either way in your hands for your arms , definitely lowers is my favorite spot in the world super sick ramps Aloha brother Koa.
I know you probably went to lowers from the title but, I don't know why it's always lowers and not uppers! I surfed uppers most of the time because I liked it so much more. Just me I guess but it's such a fun wave.
You got to take one of the thin plastic grocery bags and that will sleeve it it’ll slip right on you and you won’t have to worry about doing that with your wetsuit every time for your arms and your legs put your foot in the bag and it slips right on
Dandelion is diuretic: need to use restroom loads if too much. Its meant to have Iron vitamin ( try spinach & egg salad instead) Change into wetsuit in Quiksilver changing room then locate surf!! You need calories for energy G (donut or porridge with banana slow release energy gives stamina (fruit for vitamins & fibre! )...surf wherever no sharks & no fines 😁
i usually sit in my vehicle (either floor or step... i have a truck) and put legs on then get up and pull the suit up (better than trying to balance on one foot)
😂 Very funny! All his vlogs waiting for the moment he's out of words: than it's mantra time, like, subscribe, support the channel, check out the merch! 😂
The kid surfs 25 foot waves....takes 2 and a half hours to put on a wet suit and carries a frig on walks to trestles.....so so grateful for your content friends keep it up...so a mid day distraction!!!!
It’s a free world but Maybe please don’t name sacred spots. 100,000 followers all show up it can really do a lot of damage. Besides peace of mind, Environment and wildlife can’t handle it well. Thank you so much for listening. Free to da as you please, just sayin, RIP In peace.
So im totally curious, do you just walk into a quiksilver shop n say hi I'm koa and I'm grabbing free stuff today, or do you prearrange it, or do you have some pimp quicky vip card that you charge it to??
Well if you want to be comfortable. Need your wettie. Best mex food in the U.S. is San Diego co. In mex, its diffrent. Both are good. I dont blame you for going to lowers. It is one of the best waves around. Love your California series. Aloha
You seem like a cool down to earth kid. As a fellow athlete I can appreciate the time and effort to practice so you can hit the big barrels. Putting on a wet suit sucks. So does putting on competition fit knee sleeves. 🤣🤣.
koa ... sit on the floor of the vehicle... pull those over legs... start that way :) i know that's why i moved back to Socal from Norcal recently (hate putting and pulling those off year round at least in Socal it's just part of the year)
Here's a tip to put on a wetsuit: Get a plastic bag and put your foot in it before you put your foot through the leg so when you put on the wetsuit it easily slides through. I do this every time and my wetsuit is super tight and it works like a charm.

It’s the kale... but kale is super healthy..!!

Koa is SUPER likeable. What makes this vlog is him being himself.

Lmao this is the most I’ve seen koa struggle. The wet suit and green juice beat him up worse than any bomb at pipe
Matt Teufel "hot green juice" 😂
Lmfaoo, funniest shit ever
Watching you put on a wetsuit is the funniest thing ever
It's a workout...just...
"...ooh it's comfy..."
Second only to watching him drink that gross green juice LOL
Dandelion benefits- antioxidants, fights inflammation, blood sugar control, reduces cholesterol, lower blood pressure, promotes healthy liver, aids in weight loss!! Hope this helps. Love the videos!
Damn imagine casually just walking into the store and grabbing whatever you want because you're sponsored. ah the dream.
Surfboard, towel, wetsuit. That’s all you need. Board lasts 5 years, suit lasts 4 years, towel last 6 years... don’t need no sponsor. Surf for yourself.
Airs getting waaayyy better... Nice floaaaters....
I surf lake michigan and its always an exciting time of year when it hits 65 cause we don’t need a wesuit anymore
Yes, yes, yes, all you visiting surfers should surf "Lower Trestles"! Perfect!
2% of this video: surfing
10% of this video: shopping
88% of this video: putting on wetsuit
100% of this is great though
Velvet d'Amour oh yeah for sure
69 likes not gonna ruin it lmao
Thomas Gaggs thanks my guy
some guys i knew from Hawaii visiting NorCal putting on wetsuit was torture for them...
Welcome to california! I always figured guys that ride 20 plus foot waves would have no interest in waste to chest High trestles.
Great channel I subscribed love to think about surfing everyday!!!!
The silence and the face while trying to sip that juice dude! Made my day!!!
I’m dead how he’s drinking the juice😂😂 we all know that feeling, but at the end u know it’s good for you
"I come in, waves pump; I go back out, waves stop" That's called wishful thinking mate!😆 ...with a pinch of warm dandelion 🤣🤙
That shorts around your neck trick! Might be the best thing I've learned this year. The wetsuit struggle is real. Everyday.
Had to rewind three times. Thought Koa landed an air 😂😂
Shit hahaha I thought it too.... How I've seen that it wasn't him :/
Thanks, Koa and Jack, this one was hysterical.
Day 1 of asking for a “This is Livin” changing towel
Second that
OH YEAH BARS ARE OPEN. CELEBRATE LIVIN LIFE IN THE LARGE LANE.
Love these vlogs!
I like to go to Doheny with my daughter & her fiancé after they get off work. We wait for sets, take what we can get and always have fun. But yes as soon as we get out the sets roll through - every time!

This has quickly become my favorite vlog.
if you want to eat healthy avoid all sugar... have a bullet coffee then have salad with avocado salmon really good salad dressing... lots of water w himalayan salt added
"I would have been better off with a donut" LOL!
Dandelion is super high in iron. Keep it healthy. Be thankful that you can afford to travel and have access to such healthy/expensive food. Health is wealth. 🤙
Koa California Dreaming cool session. 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I really liked your video! Very calming to watch you be in California and in the ocean, surfing. Surfer's and yourself make surfing look so easy! Very cool to be outside! 🌍😘👌🌊☉🌱
The green drink segment was hilarious.

Sick bird divebomb at 8:27ish!!
Classic suit up!! yeah you have new rubber man hard to break in
Great job!
Like the board shorts around the neck trick.
I think the Wedge and Cylinders are the best wave(s) in Southern Ca.Trestles never barrels,it`s just a mushburger...good for learning on.The Wedge is much harder to surf for a number of reasons,overcrowding being just one.Quiksilver factory used to be in South Costa Mesa,in the industrial complex down the street from where I grew up.When I was a kid,used to be able to get factory seconds there for 5$ a piece for boardshorts.I think it`s still there in the old neighborhood.
San Diego has been fun out there too! Would be stoked to catch you out here
this is heaven
the bathroom comment 100 percent on point
Scene from next vlog-
Car scene: were gonna check out malibu.
Still in car: so we decided to go to lowers 😆🤙🏼
Omg you drinking that juice had me 🤣🤣 love it 👊🏾
Warm green juice. Haha that was so funny. Healthy thou😂
Is it ok to piss it out in the wet suit?
I think I’m going to go have to buy a this is liven T-shirt 🤙🏻
- "Si, bueno bueno" I love it
Cool. Hey Koa, do you have shirts that have less or no cotton that we can use to surf with?
Dry tech shirts. Cotton adds weight retaining more water. LMK, Thanks.
Cool Cal trip.
Good Idea...Koa Collab with ANETIK in San Clemente. anetik.com/ They make some killer shirts.
@@rp1145 i dont think he can because of his quiksilver sponsorship. He talked about it on a live before.
@@laurenipock good point
I've tried Dandelion Tea that was in granules like coffee. Just add a dash of sweetner. Raw. And then, refresh with water to cleanse palate.
Just came straight from watching the Ala Moana Bowls vid and Ollie is still ripping!
Peruvian trick put a plastic bag on your feet and the wetsuit is going to slide easily Koa either way in your hands for your arms , definitely lowers is my favorite spot in the world super sick ramps Aloha brother Koa.
"somethins not right..." haha that funny dude
I know you probably went to lowers from the title but, I don't know why it's always lowers and not uppers! I surfed uppers most of the time because I liked it so much more. Just me I guess but it's such a fun wave.
The "health" benefits of dandelions? They make you crave donuts.....
Man’s moaning about 64 degrees when that’s board short weather in the uk 😂
KOA" I CAN GET BARRELED ANYWHERE" ROTHMAN. LOL
Erewhon drink maker lovin this I bet. You should review yucky drinks on every show.
Koa knows the trick , if it fits the neck it fits the waste .
You got to take one of the thin plastic grocery bags and that will sleeve it it’ll slip right on you and you won’t have to worry about doing that with your wetsuit every time for your arms and your legs put your foot in the bag and it slips right on
This one was pretty funny
Koa, next time you're surfing Trestles. Stop by Surf n' Donuts in San Clemente. Best donuts in southern California. Good coffee too. Aloha
Chill track! Wish you woulda showed the Mexican sesh as well...
Heard there's a bitter swell headed towards Nudgee beach, Brisbane, Queensland, moving offshore to Wynum on the weekend. Check it out for sure

You need calories for energy G (donut or porridge with banana slow release energy gives stamina (fruit for vitamins & fibre! )...surf wherever no sharks & no fines 😁
I hope I can see you while you’re in Cali! I wanna meet you! I move back tomorrow, Huntington Beach. So you should surf there 😂🤘🏻
i usually sit in my vehicle (either floor or step... i have a truck) and put legs on then get up and pull the suit up (better than trying to balance on one foot)
Totally sympathize! Back in the day we had to use cornstarch with our old school wetsuits here in the cold puget sound area. Not fun. 🤣😂
The point in Newport should be fun when that SS hits.
Nuts bro. Nuts and seeds. Fruits, nuts, and seeds will deliver all you need to get through the day 👊🏽 great vlog
This guy eat donuts, tacos and drinks beer and you can still see the wash board under a wet suit 😆 Amazing
I would love to see you surf Hollywood By The Sea in Oxnard on a good fall/winter west swell.
we wanna see you paddle for those waves too! not just you riding the wave. thanks
Koa with the Oaxacan Cheese!!!
When's your sun screen coming out?
Would have been so funny if Koa put the wetsuit on backwards the first time and had to do it all over again
Koa + warm organic green juice = shittin' for a week
😂 Very funny! All his vlogs waiting for the moment he's out of words: than it's mantra time, like, subscribe, support the channel, check out the merch! 😂
For such a great surfer you sure have terrible balance standing on one foot putting that wetsuit on 🤣
Just watching Koa put a wetsuit on was the best part of the whole video
Koa, charter flights coming to Nica now. Nobody around with empty waves everywhere. We here if you decide to try to come this way.
Cool content and great musicccc....
@koa rothman you should come down to fort bragg and we can surf
The kid surfs 25 foot waves....takes 2 and a half hours to put on a wet suit and carries a frig on walks to trestles.....so so grateful for your content
friends keep it up...so a mid day distraction!!!!
Really glad you like it! And thank you so much for your support!

Dandelion Tea super good for liver / gal bladder detox which you probably need after all those doughnuts lol
Dandelion is just another leafy vegg! Definitely better cold lol.
So im totally curious, do you just walk into a quiksilver shop n say hi I'm koa and I'm grabbing free stuff today, or do you prearrange it, or do you have some pimp quicky vip card that you charge it to??
What specific style are your sunglasses from Blenders?
Well if you want to be comfortable. Need your wettie. Best mex food in the U.S. is San Diego co. In mex, its diffrent. Both are good. I dont blame you for going to lowers. It is one of the best waves around. Love your California series. Aloha
You seem like a cool down to earth kid. As a fellow athlete I can appreciate the time and effort to practice so you can hit the big barrels. Putting on a wet suit sucks. So does putting on competition fit knee sleeves. 🤣🤣.
65 is not full suit weather for a NorCal surfer...LOL. Its paradise.
2:00 Koa, I'm by no means a great surfer but, a useful trick is to put socks on then your feet just slip through the wetsuit. Bada-bing bada-boom :)
koa ... sit on the floor of the vehicle... pull those over legs... start that way :) i know that's why i moved back to Socal from Norcal recently (hate putting and pulling those off year round at least in Socal it's just part of the year)
Would love to see you surf Salt Creek
Here's a tip to put on a wetsuit: Get a plastic bag and put your foot in it before you put your foot through the leg so when you put on the wetsuit it easily slides through. I do this every time and my wetsuit is super tight and it works like a charm.
"i'm good i'm good i'm good thank you quicksilver"
Dandelion is a well known medicine. Known for ages, and people just spray em
It helps to sit on a bumper or tailgate while putting on ones wettie.
Aloha 🤙 what wetsuit model did you scoop up?
You should head out to San Clemente, it's beautiful
Tip keep your socks on or chuck a plastic bag on your foot while putting on a wettie and it slips right on!
koa,u put a plastic bag on foot to put wet suit on-makes it alot easyer,surprised u didnt know trick!
Haha haha ! I have to put on a 5/4 just to go skim boarding
Love the vids keep it up dude
Koa gets barreled at Newport 4 times in 2 hrs when I surf there everyday and almost never get barreled
