    So epic Koa! Love the breakdown of the barrel, the spot, the area and the whole trip in general! Obviously I've seen this wave before, I mean yeah, it really was the wave that made you and changed your life forever! It's like you were born to ride that wave. No wonder you try to get back there as often as possible. I'd love to ride it or at least see it breaking one day. Alas I'll have to live it through your eyes and vlogs. Appreciate the amazing content from a currently locked down New Zealand. Keeping me at least remotely sane during this tough time where we're not allowed to even leave the house, let alone surf. As someone who generally rides waves of about 50-60m long and considers a 100m wave to be pretty long, I can only imagine riding one of these never ending tunnels of love for minutes at a time!! Keep living life to the full and charging epic pits. Look forward to the next vlog always. Yeww!

    I bet you slept like one of those baby seals after such life altering steeze.
