Your dr showing up randomly was epic.

I love how you're always so cordial with fans.

6:30 koas talking about the chaotic crowd and an unclaimed wavestorm washes up behind him LOL

Koa: "i've surfed lower trestles before" also Koa: "is this the right way" "do we turn left"

Finally another this is livin episode. I wait around like a little kid for these. So psyched

More subtitles Jack,funny shit.

Koa, your small wave surfing looks amazing! An extra layer of smoothness in between turns, off the top and bottom! Really inspiring to see you come back stronger!🤙

So funny hearing Koa gripe about the Lower Tressels Jaunt.....you Rothman boys are total inspirations. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, koa jack 🤙 love watching you surf koa hope this coming season goes really well dude you deserve it .

dude that guy learned his lesson not dropping into your line. Cracked me up. Totally did not see that coming.

4:00 you almost got snaked so hard haha

Aaahhh this reminds of a trip I had when a friend and I surfed 6-8ft lowers with very few people out back in 2014. Mind you it was pretty damn windy, but the waves still held their own and were a blast to ride. I think we surfed for about 5 hours straight. I was so thirsty and hungry afterwards I had a coke, a chocolate shake, burger, fries, and chicken fingers at Ruby’s diner that evening. And then shit my brains out the next day. Good times.

Amazing way to go Koa! Love this content!

Years ago there was a pecking order, Lenny Foster, John van Ornum , Junior Beck, and I was a kid.. when they first built the jetties, it was amazing! Really enjoying watching you surf brother.

Koa..."I'll swing" Rothman! That dude needs an attitude adjustment LOL Great episode, laughed so much.

Represent my braddah! For da boyz back home.. “ I’ll swing!” Yeah you!!! Thumbs up!👍🤙🏼🤙🏼

really enjoyed that one... thanks!

Ha ha it's so funny watching you about the way to uppers!

Sooooo sick bro. Good to see you’re ripping

KOA, Looking good, sending Aloha to SoCal. Sending Aloha to you. Keep doing what you love 💗 the ocean 🌊 is your playground. So get barreled my friend, let Jack film it & I’ll watch. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Be well. 🌺🤙🏽🌊💃🏻

4:37 Koa fsho knew the barney would have wax 🤣🤣🤣

Hope you never stop making these videos man, the film is great and it brings such a nice casual feeling to surfing, hopefully ill see you at 56th sometime, or rockies, pretty sure i was standing right next to ur house a few months ago right next to a little path down to the beach on northshore bc i saw a pickup truck with a this is livin hat in the back, found a grey fin near the trashcan while walking out and thought it might be yours Lol.

Thanks for showing that bit of you talking to the guy from your surgeons office. That was cool to see your impromptu follow up

I’ll swing!..haha..Classic Madhouse Session.🤙🏻☠️🤟🏻X

Everyday I surf here in Southern California I am hella thankful to live in such a consistent place for surf! I don’t think everyone realizes how happy you should be when you are out there doing something that you not only love but is very healthy for your mind and body! Learning new things and exercising is so good your neuroplasticity

That first sesh was an all out expression session. Those waves were fast and you charged so hard to stay ahead. That was one of most agro sessions I've seen from you IMO.

Man! You're making me miss home! Grew up in Newport, now in Austin TX and missing the ocean like crazy! Thanks for sharing.

LOVE YOUR CONTENT KOA:❤❤

Glad to see you ripping my man! I usually surf uppers but might have to venture to lowers when I get better.

yo koa when is then next big surf trip with nate and all the boys ? keep up the great vids !!

Your neck Dr. (also for backs) is one of the best in nation, and good to know that the anesthesia team understands what surfers need.

Can’t believe you’re passing on Venice Breakwater for Lowers! Lol. Hysterical video today! Look forward to watching you rip Indo. Goofies rule 👊🏽

Got to surf with you out there on Tuesday. Cheers Koa, keep ripping mate 🤙

You’re the best koa!

The trick for lowers: one person gets dropped off and takes the boards and bags, the other drives one exit up, parks the car and skates down 🤙🏽

9:28 - The shit he complains about. 👀 Even with a surfboard in my arm, I’d kill for a long ass walk on the beach with nobody bothering me 🤌 😂

killin it

just ordered some this is livin merch

Enjoyed that one

Loved the video you going back to Hawaii i like it there better the waves are better and much more beautiful stay blessed stay safe 🎸 on it is a small world.

“Crowds super hectic” *wavestorm washes in*

I’m a local in SC w/ a Sprinter. Hit me up if you and boys ever need a drop off. That walk blows haha

Such a sick video, started really getting into surfing because of the “this is living series” hope this season is killer for you! Glad you’re doing well after the surgery🤙

I laugh😂 so hard when Koa has to get up early to surf.

great vid

Koa- The California K00k 🤙😜

Hahah, nice walk to Uppers.

Koa u ripped this one apart nice.

You can find un crowded dawn patrol spots, but getting up at 6:30 in Venice and you are guaranteed to be at PEAK crowd hours for 56th. Newport’s crowd can stay in Newport, imo.

Awesome I made the vlog eating a bag of chips at lowers!!!! 🔥

Luckily I have a friend who was in the military and we can drive down straight to cottons and we usually just hit that up since it’s less crowded and still fun.

SHRED!!!

You summed up the pack on any given swell in Newport (my backyard), and da F* was that kamikaze doing⁉️ Bumping into your anesthesiologist was epic 🤙🏽

Lesson of the day, don’t drop in on Koa😂😂

Ripping in Cali. Salute

That is one cool af doctor !

I lived on 46th st Newport for years....every morning sesh was always a paddle battle

4:01 that was the most blatant drop in I think I've ever seen

coolest doctor ever

The fact that you changed in the middle of the beach shows your skills for sure 😂

Glad you're enjoying California. Funny to see you at places I have been. Hit more breaks if you can. A skateboard or a bike would help at Lowers.

Great lines, carves. Whats the biggest difference between Hawaii and Cali, aside from the temp.

Nice one!

This is hilarious

🔥🔥🔥 let’s go! 🤙🏼

yo bro! yeah you took the uppers trail!!!

3:55 was pretty awesome. gagagaga

Newpizzle snakecity all locals ;) Miss those needle infested Santana river mouth beaches!

God damn Venice to lowers is a mission

Lookin good ✅

skills

4:02 burn that Cali kook!

Hoofing it down the old poo trail @7:45 👏

4:02 Koa finds a kook

Always used to take the road to Uppers and walk down the beach. The MEAT bike generation (Me Me Me, MEAT MEAT MEAT) so seldomly gets to experience the humble trek down with just the bear essentials and Mom or Dad. There used to be a great long mudbank on top of the beach along the inside point at Uppers with lots of shrubbery. More compact earth made the walk easier. Now there is only sand. Also, a huge driftwood tree trunk (lizard haven) used to be the halfway house to stash your stuff and hydrate before surfing Lowers. The thick, deep sand is what makes going that way so difficult, although it's a shorter distance overall. (9:53) That was Trestles in its heyday (2002-2012). Surf Lowers all day. Get a big bombing left all the way to the beach. Step off on the sand. Then go take a post-session selfie with Uppers rifling off in the background. However, I haven't scored great waves at Uppers since Sept 2016. That day I had my own aromatic, potent homegrown seeded chronic. I even gave some away to a total stranger in the hopes that they might grow some for themselves. It was my favorite batch of homegrown chronic that I ever had. The mudbank may be long since washed away, but the herbal essence and spirit of sharing and gratitude remains, no matter how heartless the kids of this generation may be. Because today, what Lowers has come to be all about is no longer who surfs the best, it's all about WHO'S the best at bullying their way into waves. (Remember, ALL of Trestles proper is San Diego county and has only been open to the public for just over 50 years. Meanwhile, Lowers left itself is only about 40 years old.) 💯

The best 🖤🌊🙏

Koa, Dude you are back, Jack say hello to Marcel

Jack is back with the subtitles!

Nice one.

I always say, if it's your 1st time @ Lower's, you gotta pay your dues and do the walk. 1st time I took my friend there, she complained the entire 35 minutes, lol...

Chaos at 56th… always

4:00 Koabunga 🏄💥🦶 the 56th earlybird hospitality 😅 4:35 Trade some wax for a selfie, great deal! 🏄👌😂

Should have seen it in the" 1980s" where I became a very productive fighter( usually 2 at a time), it was not fun surfing in Newport Beach!

Of course that dude tries to get mad at you when he tried to burn you, sums up Newport

“I’ll swing.” Haha

@8:10 there's a map of the break right in front of you ^_^

waves looked beautiful holy shit. and this is coming from sydney, aus, where we're in a 2 month lockdown in the middle of winter...

Next time your in CA and have a good south swell get up to Lompoc. Hopefully you can get a room or camp sight. Jalama is worth the 3 hr trip from Venice if the wind is right. It’s usually good early. (Ps. No one read this except for Koa).

YEEEWWWW🤙🏽🤙🏽

The best access to Lowers is on Camp Pendleton

Koa "No airs" Rothman

Koa, dude I did the exact same thing when I went there, I went straight and went to uppers, I asked some young surfers on the beach where’s lowers, they were from costa, I had literally just came from costa to cali and they were from this tiny beach there where i had just surfed, kinda cool, and surfed lowers big w nw onshore, it’s a way more powerful wave than I thought, especially the left. I was super nervous the first time in that pack, I caught something but forget, and had to come in, but went back out and caught a legit left I got the priority in the middle of the pack, that was the hardest part. I didn’t realize the push the left had, I got to drop down some steps in the wave and it was a good wave rode it to the end, I wanna go back when it’s glassy

next time u will go to Trestles call your Oahu's boy Kalani he knows the area pretty well haha

Brah that board looks so good under your feet

"I know my way around California" *gets lost and ends up north of Cotton's on his way to lowers*

Sick episode, Koa! May be it's time to invest into some electric bikes! Less walking = More Surfing 🤙🏽😎

Take a hike 🤣

6:29 a stranded kook in the water without his wavestorm out of the cam view!

just a stranded surfboard 6:30

Dude I hit a pothole and broke the lower trestle on my car! Bummer Bro! :)
