Hey Koa Smith thank you that you show everyone that beautiful place what you can call home hawaii. Really appreciate that it's damn motivating, thanks!
Grew up watching guys surfing in videos then you picked who you liked by the way they surfed. Now you watch who you like as a person and still also want to surf like them,🤔 big fan of the 3 amigos Koa, Nate and Eli as well as Jack, Zoards, and Case awesome 🎥 and editing 🤙🏼
Straight up legend man, complete OG with a positive mentality. I Surf avidly and I deeply respect your love for the ocean and the community. You're one of the few guys I enjoy watching, very humble. Respect, una hola!
Just a general editing request, most surf video wave rides start with the last couple of strokes but the positioning, placement and paddle charge to actually catch a wave often are edited out. It'd be cool to see more of that. Yours is the best surf channel on YT imo.
Haha, that was great. I could just see the switch flip in your eyes when you saw that Sunset drainer. You were thinking, it's too crowded for how big it is, before that wave interrupted you and changed your mind.
5:26 vibing like a kook, then proceeds to ask for wax like a kook haha, just kidding kook, I mean Koa! In all seriousness, hoping you guys score at least one more swell before summer. This late into May is insane, but loving the vlogs and seeing you and the boys ripping.
I am early let’s go, sick video. You cheer me up during quarantine. Do you mean last swell in the season everywhere or north shore. Sandys still looks like there’s still some waves coming in, stay psyched. Think I saw zeke lau at half point yesterday.
You really need to do a "Last Swell of the Season" t-shirt, with a tiger shark on it too... I'd buy one! Last day of swell for the season, 6-8 feet at Sunset. I guess anything under 6 feet does not count... Hawaii problems. lol
First off great content, Second the Sunrise Shack coffee rocks! Lastly we have the same espresso machine- what setting do you have for the coffee bean grind? still trying to dial mine in :)
7:50 "that's my new business... Koa's tour guide... I would get a tour from myself" do it!!! Lease/buy a sprinter van with 4x4 and good AC and refrigerator and pull out awning and shower to help keep the clients chill and shaded and hydrated
Your "wonky" pipe would be our epic hear on the Goldy😂 So lucky you have so many sic spots to choose from Koa. Let's hope it's not the final swell of the season and more cool vlogs to come. Bring on the 100k Yeeeweeeee🏄
Airs at sunset!!!! Just fly. You never know .could be the biggest air like I did at honls in the big island.huge right perfect channel.spun around several times . Hawaiian 8 foot day! From the highest point in the air could see the swell under me tapering in to channel.it was several spins method Ollie oup.landed back on open face.shoots from Hawaiian to hawaiian.just fly love you bro!! Wish to surf pipe. Went in 1988 when I was a grom. Pipe was a trip back then.crowded now .maybe someday we could link up get some shacks.aloha from big island
Koa, I think the tour guide idea should be done regardless. When I goto Hawaii, I use surfline to chart my waves. But, man wouldn't it be dope to get a day sesh on where to go and what to look for. Tourist, surfers, bodyboarders like me would love it. uhmmm, Id pay up to 500 maybe. I think that's doable. So, send it! Add more to your portfolio.
so koa you guys should probs open a sunrise shack on the east coast. and it should probs be in jersey, run by me. probs the best idea youve heard all day, other than koa tours. but yeah sunrise shack franchise in jersey, lets make it happen.
whats up Koa, quick question for back foot, what advice can you give on when to move your back foot to either start pumping and getting ready to bottom turn or do a turn?
I think is the last swell of the season, but maybe is not the last swell of the season, and i hope is not the last swell of the season, but looks the last swell of the season, but maybe is the last swell of the season....This is livin!!
Koa in the big island we don't think last swell ha ha . Because cuz the island is a circle .I was all ways hitting up sic breaks up north. Down south. East side puna! Eruption zone.Westside kona.thanksgiving at banyans.barrels forever!!old airport shacks .the pavilion air show for Shane Dorian and jackson.we have a lot of sic waves when it fires.
#pyzelgivekoathebreadstick Gonna remember every video so one day Pyzel make the best surfboard ever for Koa James Rothman. (And give Jack some food, poor guy didn't even had a taste of that wonderful pasta.)
Was this the last swell?! lol

Haha stop the bullshit. There's never a last swell
This man is f🎉in hilarious! I laughed so much this episode 😹😹😹
You are real young blood keep real for the Old dogs who work the real JOB every day and have given it up...
This "crappy" day at pipeline would be a super epic "once in a decade/century" day in many surf spots in the world.
aka florida
yeah.. he doesn't want to see where I surfed this morning. lol

13:59 He said the thing. HE SAID THE THING!!!
koa needs “last swell of the season” on all his merch not this is livin fr
Mr. K. Rothman wonderfully exemplifies the description of a Saggitarian: philosopher/clown. He can be so funny and philosophical at the same moment!
Pupakea grill is amazing
Sick heading there this May for the first time, and this has got me super pumped.
I do love koa cam
Fun edit, well done
Open a sunrise shack in Marin in the Bay Area everyone here would love it!!!!
For sure
im in Petaluma.i would go
Drunk Tank Films I’m in Novato!
Alex Demchuk cool.check my channel I got a few videos in Novato
Or open one in Ventura
Watching these videos from Koa has inspired me to start surfing and it is super fun ,can't wait to go again.
3:49, "that wave is small." Looks like a 15 footer w/a nice barrel. Last swell of the season.
Yea, those were some CLASSIC Sunset waves... amazing!!
Hawaii is soooo beautiful!
Koa Tours I dig it! :)
great vlog as usual!
Just a general editing request, most surf video wave rides start with the last couple of strokes but the positioning, placement and paddle charge to actually catch a wave often are edited out. It'd be cool to see more of that. Yours is the best surf channel on YT imo.
i could not agree more ! it would be very instructive to see those moments. love your videos !!!
last swell.....until the next last swell. Keep saying it and keep the swells coming !
Love hangin out with you, albeit virtually. Takes me back to a time where I had a similar lifestyle. Thank you!
I like that you are down to surf with koooooooooooooooooks (as Kala would call them when he’s amped on ice 🤬)
"Who am I?"
"Who are you?"
Always cracks me up 😂🤙🏼
Like da Da Hui logo on the back window, of your truck - club of wave sliders ...
the last day again! Awesome.
Bummed I missed some good (almost) summertime sunset! But I'll be out there soon enough and scoring waves over here on the south shore. CHEEEEE!!!
Koa, you should do a paddle out guide for the big spots on the N Shore
Haha, that was great. I could just see the switch flip in your eyes when you saw that Sunset drainer. You were thinking, it's too crowded for how big it is, before that wave interrupted you and changed your mind.
Koa’s tour guide for sure 🙏❤️that would be Epic
I love seeing all the different surfs spots before you paddle out
Lol Koa was so much more bubbly this episode!! Must be getting it pretty rough stuck at home all day with his girl xD
I like Koa's nutritional program, every day is a cheat day! :P
5:26 vibing like a kook, then proceeds to ask for wax like a kook haha, just kidding kook, I mean Koa! In all seriousness, hoping you guys score at least one more swell before summer. This late into May is insane, but loving the vlogs and seeing you and the boys ripping.
the little surf shack is my favorite thing
I am early let’s go, sick video. You cheer me up during quarantine.
Do you mean last swell in the season everywhere or north shore.
Sandys still looks like there’s still some waves coming in, stay psyched. Think I saw zeke lau at half point yesterday.
Koa you must make a sticker that says, " This could be the last swell of the season" THIS IS LIVING style...its your catch frase for sure..
I like seeing the food at the Pupukea Grill.
love the koa cam haha
Awesome vlog!! Keep doing what you are doing!! Hopefully it will not be the last swell. 5/24 maybe still good on the North Shore.
Nice drop on the first one :) Bread Stick does right by yah again...
You really need to do a "Last Swell of the Season" t-shirt, with a tiger shark on it too... I'd buy one! Last day of swell for the season, 6-8 feet at Sunset. I guess anything under 6 feet does not count... Hawaii problems. lol
Definitely "Last swell of season!" T-shirt and Hoodies💯💯💯💯🤣😂🤣

What camera have you used to vlog this, please? 🙏🏽🤩 It would be super nice to know the entire set up that you guys use to film, actually! ❤️🙏🏽
No no its not!!! We need more swell ...time! and this type of real life vlogs.
Koa, I think the tour guide idea should be done regardless. When I goto Hawaii, I use surfline to chart my waves. But, man wouldn't it be dope to get a day sesh on where to go and what to look for.

so koa you guys should probs open a sunrise shack on the east coast. and it should probs be in jersey, run by me. probs the best idea youve heard all day, other than koa tours. but yeah sunrise shack franchise in jersey, lets make it happen.
whats up Koa, quick question
for back foot, what advice can you give on when to move your back foot to either start pumping and getting ready to bottom turn or do a turn?
First wave at sunset ...flying drop ..damn..
Great videoo Koa. What model are those sunglasses? 🕶
Excellent first t 3-4 waves. Although they all look incredable. Love those pipes! So jealous in Jersey bro. Water tennp at 550. Be cool n ride on!😎
the surfers at sunset point might have been kooky but the music sure is
I think is the last swell of the season, but maybe is not the last swell of the season, and i hope is not the last swell of the season, but looks the last swell of the season, but maybe is the last swell of the season....This is livin!!
You prolly should highlight a last-swell-o-the-season-counter in a corner on screen!
He is not Jamie O'Brien though and that's why I watch this vlog
Does the tour include a ride in da truck?
Gotta admit, Sunrise Shack does have the best acai bowls
Love the vlogs!
Congrats on all the swells there’s been some swell here in Santa cruz
Was sick to here about that bro who was lost to a Shark. Terrible shit. Real sorry😢
😂😂 keep saying that koa you never know
Love the content bro, koa cam thing was a bit distracting tho 🤣
Sunrise Shack in Okinawa....call it the Last Swell..
What happened with Weed Maps Koa? Why aren't they sponsoring you anymore?
Legend has it Koa got a strong batch from them, got to high one night and is now straight edge. He’s into straight edge punk bands from Seattle now
Sunset looks better at that size than when its much bigger
Koa says "cheese in Spanish" 4:30... maybe it's a cheese stick 🤣
Next season should be dedicated to landing an aerial :) That would be cool...
I'm sure you've seen the smith brothers last swell vid. Just subbed.
wow why are there hands on the wooden gate koa? what have you and ana been up to .
I eat like that when I'm really baked too.
same here bruv

You should make it's the last swell of the season merch
Koa in the big island we don't think last swell ha ha . Because cuz the island is a circle .I was all ways hitting up sic breaks up north. Down south. East side puna!

Dude i know the truck is a legend but it might be time for a new one lol
Hardest wave in the world. Uncle Bryan taught me that. And KS has never won there.

Do a full quivers video
What coffee maker is that? Thx
It's the coldest shower in Hawaii!

🔥
June 88, 10 foot pipe. I surfed perfect 6 foot hanalei.
Last swell 🤙
Has Koa ever landed an air?
