    What I love about this vid is he’s one of the only surfers who shows how stoked he is but also how scary bigger waves can be and he doesn’t hide away from it.

    The shot of you and Nathan watching the reality of that wave was so raw. Thanks for letting us in. It's also amazing to watch your expressions and intensity grow as you psych yourself up to make it possible. If you can get that backside barrel ride down there, you can win. That's another level.

    When Koa inflated the suit, I kinda got Iron Man movie 1 vibes--half expected him to fly up and bash into the ceiling...one little moment of levity because even though I scrolled through the comments before watching, I wasn't prepared for how intense/moving this video was going to be. God almighty, Koa. Awesome video. Glad you all were safe.
