KELLY SLATER AND KOA ROTHMAN BREAKDOWN HEAVY PIPELINE SURF (BDSO DAY 1) 

Your channel just gets better and better, but the coverage of the BDSO and the Eddie are so special. You capture how special these events are to you and all the surf community of the North Shore. You get such a close up view of all the best surfers and the camaraderie is awesome. With the amazing filming and editing I can’t get enough of this. Keep up the amazing work and for all the full-on charging this winter so far. And there’s you and Nathan’s podcast!!!

Maybe it’s just me but this ability to not only film yourself, document your day leading up to the event and upload it in real time, and then kind of interview yourself for both pre and post heats of events provides such an insane perspective that we never got to see before. Everyone who has their own channel is doing their part to show to the world how great the surfing community is. Kinda torn between it helping grow it again to where competitors are making huge amounts of cash but also fully aware of the evils that come with too much corporate involvement..

The ritual works! Wave gods were summoned 🌊🙌🙌

I'm so hooked on these videos. How they're filmed...the whole team aspect and feeling a part of it. The different brilliant and beautiful camera angles and how it's edited almost together. Mad props. #cantstopwontstop

Dude! Awesome vid again brah! Makes me laugh how much your girl plays with herself😂😂 not so natural on camera huh😂😂😂 yew!!🤙🤙 stay stoked brochachos! Legend!

😊😊😊😊so happy to be able to witness a great traditional event thanks to your channel! Amazing waves, amazing surfing Koa!

thank you for showing a clear insight of how these events work... ceremony, surfers gathering, surfing: what a nice combo!

Thank you for posting pre-event ceremony. Bringing the righteousness.

Love the ceremony brother Maori from NZ similar rituals love your guys content blessed for waves over there 🤠

My respects for the native Hawaiian culture, as I respect the vast indigenous culture that exists in my country, Brazil. Congratulations on the channel!

Id love to see that in person. This is great to witness.

Another sick vlog! Love seeing behind the scenes of all the contests. The distance you drop on some of those waves and actually land on your board is insane 🤯

Miss my roots. So happy to share in this, its so beautiful. I gotta get back. Bless your time and those involved

Definitely one of my favorite episodes for sure ! Nice to be a fly on a flower around the top surfers in the world!

Thank you for these videos! they are visually beautiful, the surfing is awesome and it is exciting to be down on the beach vicariously, getting to see everyone! (your first heat actually looked amazing to me)

Thanks for these great videos Koa. Nathan and yourself are providing coverage we have never seen. Good luck to you

Luv this event and thanks for all the vlogs!!! Keep them coming brother!!! Best wishes out there 🤙🏽

I love when u talk about pipe and how it all works! Great insights!

Epic as always!!!🔥🌊🔥🌊🔥🌊🔥

Start to finish best job vlog of all time! Awesome editing and sick clips!

Those sprays on your boards are so dope. I appreciate your vlog. It gives a real life experience of the competitions instead of some unrealistic highlight real. I think you talking through it really ties it all together.

Nice to feel the vibes in the crew and at the ceremony awesome super mad respect 🙏 Koa nice video

You've been absolutely RIPPING , you seem so much more stoked since your neck got fixed, great vids Koa!!

Nice to see the surf community together, especially the RU-vid surf community

Great editing jack 🤙🏻 another awesome 😎 video Koa 🤙🏻😎🇦🇺

Thank you Koa for sharing...

Quality videos koa, they are really worth it

Thank you always, Koa, for giving us sweet access to the life that is out of reach for us in the UK. You and Nate are so much fun to watch, so insightful, and always inspirational. Your videos are getting me, and others like me through a long winter over here. Every day I check you and Nate's channel for new content. Keep it coming! Deep gratitude and respect from the grey miserable island 😌🙌🤙 PS Love the podcast and even though I know when it drops, I keep checking a for a new one a few days before like a chump 🙈😅

Out of all your videos, this one is my favorite!

This is so good koa insane insight to life your living!!!!!

You killed it bro. Good job. Awesome footage today.

So awesome Koa, keep up the content. Yew!

This vids are getting better and better. Big fan from Argentina 🇦🇷! Continue like this koa and all the video team!

The ceremony, what a beat!

The clip of a pipeline bomb then back to the opening ceremony is spiritual and priceless and gave me chicken skin. Thanks Jack

First heat wave that you pumped down the line was my favorite wave of pipe footage so far.

So gnarly out there!! Killing it bro.

Those vertical drops are sick. It's amazing you guys can make them.

Outstanding! thank you

Insane Vlog and footage Koa and Crew ❤🤙🤩

I pray you are always kept well and safe, Mr. Rothman. 🌊💙🙏

Fun to watch, charging!! 🔨🤙🏽

Bravo, those waves were freakin heavy! You were charging, man that was imrpessive!

That was the BEST surfing event Ive EVER seen

This is the best video I have seen you drop. Really felt like I was experiencing the events culture, excitement, and understanding the differences in the rule changes back at Pipe. If it matters, I gave you a 10 for the nose blow. TILvn!😂

Awsome footage!!!!!!!!!

This Hui O hee Nalu chant is to make the waves PUMP!!

That's a good Board for your arsenal this winter, Glad it didn't Snap! and yes amazing color, and design.

THIS IS LIVING IS ABSOLUTE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

That opening ceremony was rad.

Great show 👏

Mad respect!

Koa, sick video! Can't wait for the next one. Be safe out there Brother

Sweet vid man, yeew!

Koa you did great!!

Some great waves man! I want you to feel happier about them 🤣 but I know you know what’s great and what’s not.

Behind the scenes. Is cool as heck.

Awesome stuff once again boys! Good to see Jack getting barrelled at the end 😂

Great episode, loved seeing the ceremony.

Koa Kamaina - great that you captured the opening ceremony , meet and greet with buddies - da whole enchilada - and explained to us what it was about - thank you Glad your Dad got nada Hui Tradition going

Heavy Koa, really good

12:20 transition from 'maybe' to catching some beautiful waves... epic

So sick

12:45 gorgeous shot. Just layers of blue. 13:45 fantastic photography Athletic 😍🕶🍀🌸🌊⭐️

That pink Pyzel is straight sickness Koa, love it.

Damn the look of that swell reminded me of my old bodyboarding magazine's from late 90s/early 2000s. Haven't seen it look so beautiful like that in a while certain color and feel to the atmosphere too. Epic Surf edit.

This is so fun to watch. How many surf events do you normally do? Looking forward to watching you again!

Yeah Koa!!!

Love your vlogs Koa, hope to meet you when I come November!!!!!

Such a sick few sessions

Great Vid🤙

Sick boards , sick waves , sick tunes , thanks Koa

Sick edit fellas

The legends

The GOAT himself. Cool to see Kelly in the vid too

I have no clue why you were recommended in my feed because I have never been a fan of surfing or followed it. But I have been to Hawaii 3 times and my favorite spot was North Shore which is what caught my eye, had no clue how legendary of a beach I was on and I must admit I'm dying to learn to surf now! Legendary drone shots and videos of the beautiful beaches. Been binge watching these videos, keep up the amazing content brother. You're def living ! 👍🙏🤙

Vamos Koa!

You killed it regardless man .. fucking sick.

Good job

45 minutes to an hour 🤙💕mbg

that drop was insane

6:18 and you maintain focus on the day ahead, a true professional.😂

btw...thanks for sharing the board size in these vids. Always interested to see what the pros are using in diff conditions. Went to the Step Up for this size pipeline. Interesting.

Awesome episode, native strong Respect

Heavy airdrop under the ledge! The best part!

The photography and water shots are next level. Stick with the 80’s spray for the boards as it’s solid!!!

Good work Da Hui

The legend himself

Love this event it’s got SOUL

Ha Ha on ya Koa trying to mock the 🐐🐐🐐😂😂😂🤟. Little did you know he would massively redeem himself in the next few heats lol. Really enjoyed your previous Eddie episode as well btw super busy week on Oahu .
