CODE RED 2.0 TAHITI SCARIEST TEAHUPOO EVER 

Billy's wave where he was dropping down steps and getting airtime was siiiick! The way he looks back and see's how big and gnarly it is.. mad fkn respect!

Billy’s wave was insanely scary

...."there were some waves that were ridden, that were unfilmed...no one will ever see...except that person, which is all that matters." Koa Rothman sums up this is livin' and true surfing in epic fashion.

Gotta love how real Koa’s feelings about being both scared and excited at the same time. Fear and fun, possible death! Thanks

Billy Kemper's wave at 9:50 is a mutant straight out of a horror story with a Shipsterns step at the bottom. Even HE looked back at it, no doubt saying "Dear god, WHAT ... did I just drop in on?!?!". Mad respect from San Diego...

I appreciate you sharing your true emotions about what you know you're about to experience. I just started watching your Vlogs and I'm so stoked when a new one drops! Keep doing what you're doing brother!

You know it's pumping when Koa is nervous before the flight. Props for always charging!! 🤙

I made that blank for Stretch with exactly these kind of waves in mind. Cut the trees, milled the wood, shipped to the Islands, made to Stretch magic rocker and templates, most will never know the level of hard work and commitment that Stretch puts into the hand shaping and tuning, precision glass, sand and finish he puts into those tow boards and every single board he touches. Made us proud Koa. Go again.

your blog is quality Koa, respect to you for being so honest and setting a great example

First off that was insane! 15,000 miles away and my stomach was doing that thing. Both of you Koa and Billy please consider wearing a helmet. Billy I watched that whole series where you battled that life and death injury and it was so intense. You guys are awesome and we need you to be around for a very long time👏

Koa jack thank you 😃🤙 always grateful of the risk you guys take to bring us mere mortals the content you do. Insane 🤙

Billys wave made my day . Jack and Koa keep doing what your doing cause this is livin .

Your personal story and insight in the end, really brings it to the next level. Unbelievable

Man I know I'm couch surfing and you were actually there- but I do believe you have the record for biggest chopes wave of all time during the last code red swell- 🤘 this swell looked similar in size but very close- either way you got the trophy in my book-

This is the vid I've been waiting to see, out of the entire tube. Ever since the swell appeared. Your surfing had improved allot Koa, it's noticeable. And so is Jacks' camera and editing work! All positive all the time!

Koa rocking the stranger things hoodie in Tahiti makes my day lol

The way you describe that wave and the explanation behind the first guy. That's awesome keep doing what you love, be careful out there. Thanks for sharing your lifestyle.

@5:50 Bro that’s a sketchy looking dock 😂😂

This was a sick breakdown at the end while he was eating, cool to hear a firsthand account and not just a bunch of big waves and loud background music.

No one saw it. In this day and age that is quite the statement...

wow you can feel the tension in this episode, thank you guys, i've got goosebumps now)

Been waiting for this one! Mate absolutely awesome.. Best RU-vid channel.

Good to see you guys not wearing those awfull face diapers in the airport.

Been waiting for this vlog all week 😈

Heavy! It looks big from my screen, can't imagine how big it looked in person. Thanks for the vlog, great job.

Yessahh been waiting for this the day the swell hit😂😂

Billy's look back into that beast was insane.

Tahiti Government needs to get some skipper protocols in place for these Code Red days. Not letting professional athletes, skippers and film makers into the line up during these events is really bad for the industry of Teahupoo.

Koa your a humble guy. Take care with you sport. Your a certainly blessed .

Real Waves and Great story , Thank You for sharing . Much Respect To you Koa

Completely crazy !! Respect for all the riders

Every single person out there is one fully committed individual and put total trust in their partners on the skis. Amazing level of sheer will, ability and trust in themselves, partners and equipment.

Koa and Brada Billy going again. Legend Session. Stay Gold. Aloha

I normally don’t listen to the commentary but the description of the ten foot white wash on a shallow reef…this is a waterman.., respect

Never forget the "Koa Swell" years back and that wipeout on Surfline. these look just as deep

I can’t believe Billy made that wave. He got airborne like 3x. That for sure would have got me on the last one at the bottom.

FREESURFERS ETHIC # 4: “Fear is normal, Panic is Deadly, Be safe out there . Know your limitations. Respect the Ocean and it will reward you tenfold. The “best surfer out there is the one having the most fun. Keep on charging and shredding Thanks for the vlog guys. Get some well deserved rest and reboot for the next one.

That's pretty much a "survival situation"! So glad a bit of reef rash was the only injury for you guys!

This is the most unique wave in the world in my opinion the way these swells come up out of deep water and pulls the water off the reef before throwing over its nature at its best its just amazing to me ...gotta love teahupoo;)

Bro... Billy Kempers first wave was absolutely fucking mental

Everyone who have surfed once can feel the adrenaline transmitted through the screen. so sick

Every episode somehow gets more gnar this season!

Awesome adventure. You guys are rockin it. Heavy waves. Thanks for your stories Koa. Love your content. 💙🌊🐬 Aloha

OMG! That is so scary! So much respect for surfers that go out in these conditions! Mother nature doesn't care how talented you are.... amazing video! Thank you, Koa for sharing....

i already enjoyed every drop of that mega pint of stoke with the 8+ft waves we got on socal coast , i cant imagine how these building size waves must feel in tahiti

It takes a special kind of crazy to see a wave like that and think "man I want to get right in the middle of that!" LOL. But I'm glad they do it. I love watching. Safely from my couch lol

BACK - SIDE - BAD ASS BILLY K !!!!

THE LIME JUICE ANTISEPTIC!!! A South Pacific favourite...

One thing I noticed when he was checking his board was the quick visualization he did. Where he just says, "brrrr, let go" and imitates the movement he will be doing as he drops in. Might not seem like much, but doing that actually helps you prepare for the activity you are gonna do. I often use it and have seen lots of succes with it when coaching and teaching newbs to surf. I tell them that they must just see themselves in their mind's eye, standing on the board, looking towards the beach. Effortless, no thinking. Weirdly, it seems to work.

Damnnn Koa, those waves were huge, heavy and thick brahda!!! You guys have balls of Steel!!! Billy and your wave Koa was crazy Big!!! You guys ripped Teaupoo apart. Keep up the amazing footage my man!!!! Aloha, Tommy Turbo!!! 👍 Shaka 🏄‍♂️ 🌊

What a combination: some of the chillest guys on earth and one of the most hair raising intense sports there is.

Thanks so much for putting names of surfers in video. Sometimes it’s hard to make out who’s surfing with it. Most of the other surf channels don’t do this, and that sucks.

That jet ski getting thrown up at 9:50 is wild

thanks a lot for sharing your experience !!! Excellent Channel !!!!

You boys have been absolutely charging, also the wave breakdown at the end was so heavy!! Hectic!!

I'm intentionally going to... hurl myself across bumpy liquid pavement with a four story building chasing me... . yehp! 🤪

Should have gone to Ma'alaea. Once in more than a decade. Teahupo'o breaks like this every few years.

That billy Kemper at 9:50 WTF??? Nuts

Thank God you guys used that first dude as the sacrificial lamb to pay for entry and that everyone went home alive. Next fucking level for sure!!

G I A N T .. beyond .. fantastic display of surf insanity. Description of waves and wipeouts much appreciated.

Those couple of jet skies that almost got cleaned up by that set wave but didn't were sooooo lucky!!! 😲

Koa’s slow style of talking/storytelling shouldn’t work especially not on youtube but i suppose its just so authentic that it really does

The massive wipe-out at 9:36s is the 16 years old Teahupo'o local and legend @GilbertTeave !

The suspense…. When the music hit during your drop in I started laughing and crying at the same time! Jesus man, thank you and you are a gift brotha. Koa and Jack… you both a so gifted at what you fuckin do. Yew!!!!! Thank you 🙏

SO AWESOMELY HEAVY!💝😃🤙🪶

Unreal. I’ve almost drowned getting pitched on a 8 ft east coast wave . I can’t imagine.

sick video as always. love how blatantly truthful you are about being anxious about it opposed to being a liar tough guy who say they aren't and look more dumb for not admitting it.

by far the gnarliest waves i’ve ever mindsurfed

That was my hero...Mr Kemper? Please watch out for my 2 heros. Your such great surfers. 👍

You guys are on another level. Legends 💪

Insane footage Billy’s wave was a mutant beast trying to eat him alive 😎🤙🏻

Watching that was quite amazing! Respect for all concerned...

That stranger things hoodie is fire🔥

9:59 looks back to stare death in the face!

I don't know how they manage to walk with balls that big.

Aww man we wanted to see that one that brought you far in.

Holy mackeral, Billies wave was macking.

Simply-INSANE/Bro🤯. . . I wear my 'This Is Livin' black-T with PRIDE/Honor!

I can not believe it. Until now I understand why there were no boats. I can't believe the police were waiting for them!! Incredible that Jack did not accompany you! But it's great that you were still able to have very good shots! what incredible waves! This video was spectacular and I saw how you were exhausted. Great and thank God you are well and Billy too! what great waves!

So awesome to see Kemp back in the water

I got the Florence ad lol I was about to skip and was like wait I know that guy

Stuck at work in the operating room watching your sick vid while someone is getting their ACL reconstructed. Psychin 😎🤙🏼

Billy the grim reaper 50ft that’s it slabs 😂

You guys are extra ordinary human being and very humble big wave rider.million respect for all of you.🙏🏄❤

I love your honesty. Yes, knowing in advance, the hours before. Whoa. That things will be HEAVY not too long from that moment. I feel that way before any trip. haha. Cheers.

At last someone talking about what it’s like to wipeout there.

Got to be the biggest thickest tubes on the planet. Unbelievable!

Towing into these waves is up there with flying down the face of a mountain with a wing suit for plain nuts. However dying doing either of these sure beats dying forgotten, lying in one’s own excrement in some godforsaken age care facility. Life is for living.

Billy's wave ...........omg !!!

Thanks so much You guys are so insane and inspiring Never seen such heavy waves. Your commitment and honest commentary is awesome Totally blown away Your channel rocks Re stock merch to get to Australia Keen to support Cheers Boys. You made my week

You guys are Fucken insane I love it congrats on surviving the code red 2.0

Great video, glad you're ok! Just cutting out at end of ride looks super scetchy before it closes on very shallow sharp reef..

So massive and scary wave!!! Glad you didn't get injured!!

You have insane courage / I am impressed

You fucking make nervous dude....that was mind blowing, that's the single most badass thing on earth....Superhero type shit...🤙

WoW now that looked real heavy! Awesome vid thanks!

Koa No doubt Love your show

Koa, Really enjoyed this one! That was some crazy Sxxx

A bit of a bump and extra thick amplifies the excitement!
