The read on that 30 and the awareness to find the doggy door through the spit was incredible. You may not have won the event but you are a pipe master.
It's crazy, when you see guys catching unbelievable waves and when someone like Koa or Bruce or Kelly catch a wave like that, everyone knows how special that wave was! I surf and before I ever even heard the screams and clapping that I was already rewatching that wave 4 times. WHAT A BOMB OF A WAVE🤯. AND THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT SHOTS OF IT TOO!! The beach, that drop and the way that wave bowled up. Then this shot from the water really gives this gem another facet of shine!! Unbelievable
This is nothing against your comment but go back and look up Bruce at pipe or maybe the best perfect scores at pipe and this one will be right in there w the rest but Bruce and Andy would blow my mind with their late drops on bombs at backdoor and pipe
In 6 years we will find out if that’s the wave of the decade. Koa, bravo. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. Groms will watch that for years and years of inspiration. Wow.
8:36 chills - amazing to see the work you’ve put in over the years in the water and on yourself. So stoked for you. Also, nice work by the cinematographer 👌
Koa! Everything's coming together, right? So much to trust in. He's gotcha bro, so good so secure and so creative! It's wonderful to see this journey. Aroha from Aotearoa.
Sich a great experience, watching the livestream nathan did, now the vlogs after comp. Your wave was the only moment of the comp were i called my friend , cause you need to talk about it when you whitness something that special!! I feel you so much, visualising and working on your goals. One prior wave was similar size similar takeoff and it didnt give you a make. This one was just so crazy! The drop, the barrel, how long it let you travel in such a huge hall of a barrel, and the perfect exit, the best claim ever…. Congrats! You deserved it! And you deserve many more!! Bzw hug people heart to heart, going on the right side with your head will bri g your hearts colser❤❤❤
KOA THAT WAS ONE EPIC RIDE TO GET BEST WAVE OF THE CONTEST .YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE FREE SURFER OF THE COMPLETE NORTH SHORE ROSTER .LOVE ROTHMAN .FLORENCE AND.JOB .BUT IN ALL HONESTY YOU ARE THE HUMBLEST OF THEM ALL AND THATS INSPIRING TO SEE .NOT JUST THE SURFER KOA BUT KOA THE HUMAN BEING .THATS WHERE I FEEL YOU STAND OUT AND THE WHOLE MEDITATION THING IS SUCH A POSITIVE MINDSET AND DEFINITELY ONE ASPECT TO ADMIRE .LOVE YOU BROTHER .KEEP MAKING US PROUD...
What a heavy wave, Koa 💪🏼 easily up there for barrels in competition @ pipe. Excellent focus & great visualization. “Abundance is all around us.” Nice to see you succeed, man 🤙🏼
That wave was epic mate! I know you didn’t come away with the overall win but bloody hell, that wave must make you smile!! Mad me psyched to surf watching it at 3am rocking my newborn back to sleep!
My browsky for a couple seconds you where in tune , in total connection with the divine as passengers just awaiting a train very few of us get to experience that, this is why you work so hard, mahalo Master, mega shakas from the other side of earth 🤙. Mad respect
You are such a quality human. Congratulations on such an amazing wave. Full commitment, full send. All of your hard work lead you to exactly where you were supposed to be!
the whole ride was brethtaking but to me the way you read that wave coming . when you begun to paddle was like whole magic - how this wave stood up and you were just in that right place and time - amazing perfection !
Dude-- So Stoked for ya. 'Wave of the Winter" for sure its a lock!!!! I picked you before the Contest to be in the Finals. The Finals: Koa Smith, Ivan Florence, Nate Florence, JOB. You deserved to be in the Finals!!!! So close...
Isn't there a moment when you knifed into the face and just before the bottom turn, it looks like you let go and trust .. so stoked! Amazing wave! Transmitting so much positivity - very beautiful to watch, thank you!
Been in Indonesia and couldn’t tune in to the event - but holy heck mate !!! Watching this edit was a beautiful thing . Insane wave and true beacon of light and inspiration. Thanks legend 🙏🏼🤙🏼🫶🏼
Love watching you.. brings me back to the beginning of my life. I spent a month in the Hawaiian Islands.. ever since I watched that reality surf show.. no coincidence.. when I need a reminder of the Grace I’ve been given.. a video of yours pops up
Nice to hear a mindful conscious surfer out there. I was stoked to capture your wave with my Sony on slow motion I think Brian texted u the clip...was really happy for you! Also very cool seeing the other surfer in the red happy for you too that's how it should be...NO ego. Your ego is not your amigo! Aloha 🙏🏾
What no one is saying is how he was invisible for the whole ride, behind the curtain enjoying the moment by himself to then come out at the last second, from the insane drop in, masterpiece kamikaze
its great seeing replays and different angles, but the raw feed from NateF and the pure hawaiian stoke from all the boys watching is part of what made that wave so mental. Congrats bro. Hard earned and well deserved.
Epic! Mahalo for the inspiration, that was beautiful. I went to Joe Dispenza weeklong retreat this past June and I'm gonna up my meditation game after watching this!
That drop was next level even Mike Stewart would be proud to make that, inches away from air drop. Well done and more winter bombs please stay safe n well 🤙
back in the day u would have been pipe champ. best wave of whole event. facts. ur the true champ. and we all know this. biggest sickest only perfect score all event. love nate but. nope. that trophy is yours braddha💯🤙
It's definitely wave of the winter... so far. But I feel like everyone saying it's a lock is almost manifesting an even crazier wave to get ridden this winter, as though challenging pipeline to say "you think that's the absolute craziest wave possible out there? Think again." To be sure though, an ridiculously insane one and one of the heaviest I've *ever* seen ridden out there.
111 comments haha...the 1st manifestation I had 10 years ago after my pineal popped was the name of god. I like how you stayed humble after you lost. It's almost like you new the moment your board snapped. Just imagine what we all could do (on a much larger scale) once we slay Goliath 🙏
So glad he made this a spiritual blessing instead of just a how good am I vlog
Wave of the Winter! ❄️
Gotta be
The read on that 30 and the awareness to find the doggy door through the spit was incredible. You may not have won the event but you are a pipe master.
Couldn't happen to a better person. I literally watched that wave 35 times the day of
I've watched it so many times too haha
@bryanlange4337 honestly, one of the best pipe rides i've ever seen!
🌊 I got goosebumps watching pull out the doggy door on that one 💪🫡💯🤙

One of the best pipe waves I have ever seen. Koa you won in my eyes that day. You have worked so hard and glad you got rewarded by pipeline
This is nothing against your comment but go back and look up Bruce at pipe or maybe the best perfect scores at pipe and this one will be right in there w the rest but Bruce and Andy would blow my mind with their late drops on bombs at backdoor and pipe
I watched them heaps. Bruce and Andy are like gods out there! Kauai boys charge!
Proud of you Koa. It’s a joy to watch someone living out their art and expression. Keep going man. Your impact is bigger than WAY bigger than surfing
Koa you looked so good. Great to see you on stage. Your day is on it's way!!!!

Love watching you.. brings me back to the beginning of my life. I spent a month in the Hawaiian Islands.. ever since I watched that reality surf show.. no coincidence.. when I need a reminder of the Grace I’ve been given.. a video of yours pops up
Epic wave, one hell of a drop, that only a master could have ridden. Thanks for sharing your journey.
When I saw the wave live your whole process from old videos and u talking about getting this wave back then came to visualization .wild!
wild stuff! Love to see the intention and the outcome! W.I.N
Nice to hear a mindful conscious surfer out there. I was stoked to capture your wave with my Sony on slow motion I think Brian texted u the clip...was really happy for you!

What an epic wave! 🤙 that drop in was sick!
Interestingly, I felt an incredible wash of gratitude as I watched you ride that wave. Congrats!
What no one is saying is how he was invisible for the whole ride, behind the curtain enjoying the moment by himself to then come out at the last second, from the insane drop in, masterpiece kamikaze
