My neck hurts lol Check out all the new t-shirts! Like this video and subscribe to my channel!

Can’t surf 4ft rocky point. Logical conlcusion. Let’s go surf maxing 30 ft outerreefs.

TY for allowing me to see my old back yard! I was your father's neighbor and friend 89'-92' Makua was just born. To watch you both grow into Professional MEN is a tremendous compliment to your family ROTHMAN name! 👊 R-E-S-P-E-C-T SALUTE! ALOHA

Nothing like brothers coming together to take on nature. Primal survival.

Koa take care of your neck, there's always another wave in paradise, you've only got one neck. Patience.

Rest up there amigo. Waves come and go, your neck does not. Take care of that so you rip it up in January

Rothman brothers are absolute Warriors!! Total insanity made to look like just another fun day in the park. Unbelievable bravery and mindset that few will ever achieve on this earth!!!

Hope your neck gets better! We need content during the winter season.

Makua you are legend!!!! Koa keep ripping!!! I've been sending it with compression fracture for years!!!!

Koa with those glasses looking like a wave detective

BEST.VLOG.YET! Hands down. The footage, the music, the everything. So sick!

Epic swell Koa neck injuries are the worst hope you heal up 🏄🏻‍♂️🤙

One of the best episodes on the channel to date. Koa take care of your neck bro. You'll get another chance at it

Dude you are so funny and down to earth that is the best part. OK this is a very simple way to heal your neck injury. Go back and revisit that moment when the injury happened. It was like a tiny wave and a freakish type of accident. On that day or right at that time you where have some difficult thoughts about something in your life who knows perhaps fear relationships business family stuff you know for sure what it was when you revisit it. Whatever that thought was just relax and let it go offer it up to the great spirit and then the stress of that thought will leave your neck area and you will be able to relax and enjoy the upcoming season. The great mother is watching over you! Best wishes out there be safe and have fun! :)

come surf NorCal, it was 15-18 and epic today in San Francisco

Love the humility...been there too...epic swell, your heart and head are battling over your Soul because you are injured

Get well soon Koa!

Those waves were massive. Can’t believe how fast you move down the line. That moment at 16:48 with the quick glance back and brace for impact was a cool scene. Glad you got the surf in mate even if you’re still hurting🤙

Really a beautiful wave, changes from the usual ones we often see (Nazaré, Jaws, etc.). Great to see charge almost alone !

"Never seen the brothers in action", true that! And it's amazing. Malama pono!

Man!! I'm sending positive vibes your way legend. Send it!!!! 🤙

Big wave surfing always makes for a great video edit. Keep it coming

So cool so nice so awesome to see the brothers going hamburger going ham together getting "Bombs Over Baghdad", shoutouts Outkast...

Incredible to watch. Makes me wish I was young and fearless again. Thanks for putting this together. 😃🏄🏽🏄🏽👍

Man like seriously, these last couple of videos are bringing back 18', 19' vibes, you are way more relaxed and that mellow thing of you came back again. Hope you get better soon, Koa. Don't push to hard, try to chill with Anna and let the body recover. Awesome video guys!

Take care of that injury braddah. Stay blessed!

Glad the balsa treated you right!! Stoked!!

Big respect boys, great vlog . Seeing the brothers kick ass, so cool. Take care of your neck mate, don't do any long term damage..

Mountain riders! Koa and Makua freckn killing it! Great video.

Get some rest Koa! Don't push it too hard! You have many more years to keep us stoked on this channel... 🤙

Koa, look up "cervical traction device". These devices help separate the vertebrae and decompress the squished discs. You can make a home made one with a rolled up towel. I definitely suggest resting for a few days to allow your neck to heal. I strongly suggest to not take painkillers and surf. Yes it may relieve the pain, but the injury will still remain.

i like watching the big wave prep

Man you killed it adding the drone footage

I know surfing is life! Telling a surfer not to surf Is like telling a thirsty person not to drink water! Be careful out there brother!

Great video Koa, your style is better suited for big wave action and less talk. Your team has great ideas for photography and editing. Stay healthy and keep livin.

🤙😎💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 This is LIVIN'.... for sure....great to c Makua & Koa catching swell...rt . Omg sort neck.

AWESOME KOA! And I just received my white hoodie! To all the subscribers get yourself some merch and support braddah Koa! CHEEEEE

Dude get an inversion table if you don't have one... They really work well once you get used to them... 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Koa, I love to watch you surf 🌊 You are an amazing guy. Your health & happiness is so important. I’m thinking good thoughts to take the pain away. Be safe. Be well. 🤙🏽💃🏻

Koa, I love your videos and you are a GOAT. Keep up the great work buddy!!

Introooooooooo musiccccccc fireeeeeeee..... Video's are Alwaaayyys fire.... Happy surfing from Virginia Beach!!!+++:)))

love the GoPro footage!

Makua got an absolute bomb ! Dope to see brothers shredding

Unbelievable. Total respect. Give your neck a rest though. You don’t want it to turn into something chronic that keeps you out of the water all winter. Great episode with some amazing aerial and onboard footage.

Sick Content! Was so engaged the whole way through!

Are you hanging upside down? That has helped me the most. Inversion therapy table on Amazon they are cheap.

Koa, I've had multiple back injuries from skiing. Try taking a calcium/magnesium/zinc tablet every night before bedtime. Also consider mixing ice cream into your diet right after surfing. yumm. and plenty of creamer in the coffee.

For others 500 hundred years🤙😂💪

You need "Test the Neck" T-Shirts... hehe

Absolutely committed. Heal up.

Way to go towing in. Just riding on the ski would have destroyed my back.

You better take it easy after that feat

I hit a tree powder skiing in 1986. For me it was a sharp pain between my shoulder blades and an almost instant atrophy of my left tricep. Had a C5-C6 Cervical Laminectomy a week after the incident. Same incision. Same recovery period. I’m almost 70 and never really lost a beat.

I've been dealing with neck injuries for 10 years (smashed my face snowboarding when I was 15) it blows. It's a constant battle to keep it managed and trying to keep the bones aligned and the muscles happy. I feel for you and relate to this struggle hardcore.

Yes I’ve been waiting since last Wednesday

Get better dude, these videos are too dope.

Look who’s back

Same issue with mountain bike riding...torso laid out, neck craned back to see forward then add fast impacts. Put a gopro on top of your head and install a monitor in your board :-) Opposite of a HUD (Heads Up Display)...a head down display.

This is so bad ass!

haha that is so true world havent seen Rothman bros in action yet get em boys haha

Yo Koa ! Loved the Rothman Brothers part !!!! Thats a must-do-next-time yeah you from Tahiti 🇵🇫🇵🇫🇵🇫

Koa, I had the exact same issue with my neck. Ask your doctor for a Cortisone shot it works wonders.

Find a Chiropractor that does slow long axis cervical decompression traction as well as osseous adjusting of the neck and rest of the body. The traction helps to create a vacuum within the intervertebral spaces and this will help bring your discs back into proper position. The adjustments will help reduce swelling and increase your range of motion.

Koa, Now that you can only do stand-up surfing and you are staying on land for the healing process, I'm going to vote your name in for dancing with the stars. This will help you stay in shape.

Now that’s better! Kudos to you... and a like.

Sick sesh Koa!

Koa 16.02 that wave through your Gopro looked Epic 🤟🌊💯🏄🏻‍♂️💢

I have the exact same thing w my neck, its been a month almost no surf, and feels great to know im not the only one right now having this it sucks!! But crazy to get towed and get worked w a messed up neck

Hang in there Koa! Protek da nek!

Cola Rockton rocks!!! 😂😂😝

True adrenaline junkie...” my neck is killing me.. let’s go surf massive tow waves” 😂🤙🏼

Koa - PLEASE take care of your body!!! It will be worth the wait - you have your whole life ahead of you!! 🤙🌺🙏🌈

bro. thanks for sharing the footage....how about 2 words to describe how epic it was to surf huge gigantic waves that .0000001% of the earth population will ever ride? anyway that was insane, you guys are charging!

Que buenas tomas bother! nice video!

Got to bring in “biggest swell of the season” to replace the iconic “last swell of the season” catchphrase

I would stick a bengay/salonpas heat patch and take ibuprofen for 2 weeks (specially during sleep) and rest (avoid movement that elicits the symptoms/pain) for 1-2 weeks.. works for my back and shoulder issues.

That was a beautiful sunrise.

Why don't you try doing the ice box at the Smith brothers' place for your pain? Hope you feel better.

You know you are living life right when your bad day is catching monster 40 waves. Good luck with the neck. If it continues to bother you than potentially look into alternative therapies. Also if you are not surfing that keep your body and mind occupied by maybe doing a couple hikes in the region. Don't let your injury get you down.

Awesome awesome awesome music at 14 minutes and 30 seconds...

THE HYPE!!!

I have/ had that injury for many years. I got hurt at your age and didn't recover for a very, very long time. Years. Tried all kinds of stuff and suggest: 1) Ice packs ONLY, NOT HEAT. Hot shower is OK to loosen up, but then ICE the neck 2) Gentle stretching/ yoga 3) Physical therapy from someone good, not a quack. Gentle traction from a PT machine or a good, careful massage therapist. 4) Ibuprofen, not any stronger pills unless you are in excruciating pain 5) Voltaren gel (topical), now available over the counter -works wonders- way better than Salonpas, Icy Hot, tiger balm, or any of that crap. 6) foam roller or grid roller to keep the rest of your back from tightening up too. Search vids on this and go easy at first 7) Buy a cheap, lightweight kid's ball (soccer ball sized) -like cheap grocery store kine. A little deflated is good. While standing, trap the ball between your forehead and a wall. Gently turn your head left and right with just enough pressure to hold the ball up and stretch out the neck. Then up and down. It's a light stretch/ recovery exercise. Don't over-do it. 8) Don't wait too long to get help from a medical professional if the above are not working. Good luck

Good stuff, nothing like an injury to make you humble ...🙏

hey! try out the inflatable paddling vests! my friends with neck and back issues swear by them. you can adjust the pressure to suit your personal requirements.

Man, that was great--but don't mess with your neck!

Omg guys in glasses 👍🏻

Habstrakt - The One (unlovable remix)

the only video i still have up man is breaking my neck on a 90 foot cliff skiing. Been battling for years. Lay down a lot, don't hold it up if you want it to super heal. Lots of heat and huge amounts of anti-inflammatory herbs man. Comfrey salve on your neck with castor oil and heat will get you rocking brother. PM for any more tips. No headbanging forever I always forget that one

Can't wait for the new merch!

Bruh rest up and heal soon 🤙🤙

Going to check out that self massager thing! Bi-weekly Chiropractor appointments have seriously helped my back and neck ! ..wildest thing, I woke up one morning couldn’t turn my neck at all!!! Most scary freaking thing. Lasted a good week or 2..note to self don’t sleep directly in front of a fan, specially with a sore neck ! It completely locked me up 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Yeah Koa!!!

Yeeewww Mate Just sending it Bro🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

u should try 1 Lomi Stick lomi Stick

Bro, I completely get it. My neck is trash too. But from flying helicopters.. take care of that neck while your young.

Koa be patient with your neck bra, mine took 3 months before i could surf, I had pinched nerve c4 c5. Just ice the shit out of it, add anything anti inflammatory maybe cbd oil could help. Stay safe 🤙

Brotherly LOVE! ONO FAM!

Currently on month 8 of not surfing due to a herniated disk. Messed around at the start against doctors orders which prolonged time out of water. Don’t risk it Koa!!!!!

Great music in the tow-in!

Koa, you should surf with the Monizes sometime
