Amazing insight, the camera work is perfect ! What is the tune that play around 6:00 can't find it in the description, I love it.
Cinematography and music are always on point dude. So relaxing to watch. And the coloring >
I am not a surfer but I take my hat off to you guys for putting your lives on the line. I guess the big goal is to get to Portugal?

I've only got into surfing 1 year ago and it is my thing to do
I'm going to Rossnowlagh strand
and I'm scared already
Ps the strand had a swell
Bot
I did a report on John John and he is amazing
No feeling like being just a surfer. No matter the wave size.
Thanks dude. Youโre a coolass and even though I never had this kind of swell, it is really what I felt surfing bigger waves than I should.
Thanks againโฆ!
Getting there is 1/3 of the ordeal. For many years there were no PWCs even if you could afford one. Fear, lots of fear to deal with. The most frightened I recall being was around 3-4 a.m. pulling out in the pitch black of night never knowing exactly where we were. Sitting out there, seeing only stars and hearing voices they came. When the nothingness consumes the cosmos and the stars disappear eaten by an unseen black razor the adrenalin shot is almost crippling. Pulling to meet the nothingness is more frightening then sitting in ambush in Vietnam was. There is that little voice that whispers it is coming…it always does.
Incredible!!!
I know the feeling in Pasquales 25 years ago

Beautiful footage bro ๐๐บ๐๐๐๐
awsome
Incredibly Cool!๐ค๐ฝ
I remember when I was younger I thought koa was John john
I broke my foot and I can't surf but I can binge koa smith thankfully
Never been out on waves on North side even close to this. But I do know the feeling of excitement and fear as you scratch desperately to not get caught inside a bomber set.
And sometimes getting caught inside is part of the sport.
Definitely not a fun part.
Is this guy a meth monster??
Wow mannnnn! This is bananas! Thank you for sharing! Iโm so stoked watching this! (Glad youโre ok!)
I started taking some small waves
Literally takes 35footer
