I guess you can't say: "I never do well in competitions" anymore! :) Here's to a whole new era of successful comeptition! Congrats Koa - Well earned...
AWESOME the North Shore crew is on fire, what a season, Koa wins at Backdoor, Nate wins Pipe, And John has the world title..Sounds like the slab tour is fully funded, LETS GO....
First: Maximum respect for donating your winnings from The Eddie to Hawaiian Water Patrol. Second: BIG congratulations on winning Da Hui Backdoor Shootout! Third: Shout out to da caddy, lil man was holding it down for the champ! 🏆 🤙🤙 EDIT: I almost forgot, CONGRATULATIONS on wave of the contest, too!!! 🏆🤙 And seeing Eddie R. smiling there with you was awesome, you know he was so proud to see you win!! 🏆 🤙🤙
*Congrats bro!! Well deserved. My younger brother committed suicide recently, we would watch your videos on auto play!! We loved watching your journey. My little brother is shouting loudly from the heavens for your win! Brothers and sisters, Make sure to tell your people you love them! ! Peace*
Massive stoke seeing Koa finish on top. Amazing all these guys coming up together surfing together since small and Da Hui putting on a great contest. Shaka's for everyone.
koa fucking needed this, so huge and proud of him for coming back after that CRAZY head injury a little over a year ago right before Christmas to see how he dealt with it and persevered... so damn sick bro congrats and lets see more hopefully this is a huge boost to everything. lock in koa 😵
Congrats man! well deserved. I feel Like you've been getting a good share of beat downs lately and couple of broken boards to boot. then a couple of good days and you were on fire. awesome vid. And kudos for donating you Eddie winnings, a selfless act.
Massive congrats! From New Zealand. Incredible monster wave to win it. Freakn cool to see all the other legends Ivan, Jamie, Nathan all so chilled and supportive - great post
My favorite part of this video is the braddah who announced you as winner mentioned how humble you are. Never lose that! It’s a blessing! When I met you, your brother, dad, and Markus as the bank a decade ago + when I was working there, the Rothmans and Da Hui crew had a larger than life reputation, yet you signed autographs for the local girl I worked with and were kind and humble then too. Well done, and God bless!
Mazel Tov Koa - great result at the Eddie and individual title at the Shootout. You’ve been putting good energy out there (giving that kid a contest jersey at the Eddie, donating Eddie winnings to the lifeguards, etc) and it comes back. Keep doing great things!
What a legend, Koa winning the Shootout, and making it into the league of greats. Proud of ya brotha, you earned it! Keep this momentum going man, your killing it in the TH-cam game as well.
Yeah Koa!!!! Incredible accomplishment to win Back Door 2x! We’re all very happy to see your success. It is well deserved. Enjoy every moment. Awesome video Jack, as always.
You deserve that win brah and so much more you are one of the best in the world 🌎 keep climbing young Jedi 💪🏽 Yessah , bless you Braddah Koa ! A true legend of the north shore ! Yah you 🌴🌊🏄🏾♂🏝🌊🌊🌊🌊🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hell Ya Dude. Congrats!!!! Dude--- I think this was your Best Session at Pipe. The Caddie and Coach got you there. Plus all the other goodness. Great Job Jack on shooting this Nice job. Nice gets on all Great moments.
Congrats Koa! Love watching & following Your Channel! You & Your North Shore Surfing Buddies are not only Great &’Inspirational Surfers but Your Genuine Friendships & Love for this Great Original Hawaiian Sport & Each Other is Truly Wonderful to Watch during these Crazy Times. All of Us who are so Lucky to call Hawaii Our Home can’t Deny this Truth as we watch the Adventures of this Truly Amazing Group of Humble, Fun Loving Modern Day Wave Warriors.
That was a cool thing to donate to the water safety boys they are absolutely amazing at what they do they literally are angels of the sea and deserve to get paid a lot more than they do that’s for sure 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼
Sweet! Congratulations Koa! I was wondering who all won! Bam your video pops up and you’re The Champ! Everyone surfed so well through out the days! Very proud of you bro! You guys all have so many great years ahead and will win lots of events!
I was THERE! Saw your first and last sets! That was the first big-wave competition I ever watched, and I shared it with my son. Greetings and congratulations all the way from Kansas City, Missouri!
the shootout isn't technically a big wave competition. big wave events happen at waimea, jaws, mavericks, etc. but don't get me wrong, there are still some big waves.
Congratulations Koa! After the injuries you’ve been through these last few years, this was so amazing to see you take this out! Absolute fkn legend and so well deserved 🤙🏾 letsgooooo 🔥
That whole Final Day, especially in this video, you were so much more positive and actually sounded motivated to perform. That paid off. You really have all the reasons now to go into every contest positively and not get dragged down by it. CONGRATS.
I am not surprised you won! After watching that trip you took last June to Kandui (with the sea snakes incident), ripping huge barrels, everything is possible. Congrats!
1:31 "The waves look really fun right now." That's the way to roll into a comp - with a caddy and a good attitude. It was so beautiful to watch! You've got one helluva photography and editing team for documenting such incredible surfing. Hoo-whee! (So what if the title has a few extra vowels 😉) (12:27 I can't believe he stuck that takeoff. That was wild.)
Been ripping this is Livin since 2019 met and chatted with Koa two different times out here in Hawaii truly a stand up guy couldnt be more hyped for him and Jack !! Boys have been griiiiinding big ups THIS IS LIVIN🤘🏽🐺
Proud of you bro.. We been watching you for a long time, You deserve that one. All super smooth drops in and coming out of some nice barrels with a huge spit.. YA!
wow, koa one arm hugged his dad for the picture as if he was going to get cancelled. kinda wonder what that dynamic was like? i can't imagine what it's like growing up in these north shore surfing families.
also this is the conspiracy theorist talking in me... i love koa. dudes been on the back burner watching his peers win amazing things and finally he shows his skills! congrats mate!
Congrats Koa, you finally won a contest! Who says you don't do good in contest... now when you hear you named called, they will say 2025 Backdoor Champion Koa Rothman. Not a bad year for the North Shore crew! Yeah you
Mr. I don’t ever win contest wins one of the best if not , the best surfing comp in the world ! Hahahahaha fuckin nuts ! Love to see it. What a couple years you and the boys have been having . Watching you guys glow up is amazing thank y’all for sharing it with the surfing world 🤙🏽🤙🏽
That's exactly what we thought!!! Listening to all that self deprecating from him made the win so amazing to watch!! The bar is so crazy high amongst his close friends!
What a run these guys are on! John wins World Title, Nate wins Pipe Masters and Koa wins The shootout! Congratulations Man! You deserve this.
Don’t forget John surfer of the year and Nate best channel of the year
@ yesssir legendary run they’re on!
Legendary
Also the boys got belligerent on livestream. Milestone in modern content
John Pizel is surely basking in it also. Trifecta winning boards for him.💪🤙
