Koa Rothman gets wildcard at Jaws (Peʻahi) Big Wave World Tour || This is Livin' Episode 30 

I did 20 yrs in the military. Congrats to ur bro and thanks for his service 🇺🇸

from Georgia to Pipeline to Jaws - all in one Vlog. THIS IS LIVIN is definitely the king of the net

Impressive performance at Jaws Koa! Balls of steel for sure.

Literally the best episode of TIL. The sequence when he's about to paddle out just really got me. Amazing editing job

Wow. This is seriously the most genuine insight into a surf comp I've ever seen. And that was in no way an ordinary surf comp. My God that was epic. Rock on Koa🤘

Wow Koa this was Unreal...u guys made surfing history. Keep being humble and real, as you are. Opening scene in Ga. was real family feel. Big ups to your parents who raise you well. Much Respect to da big enforcer Rothman. Island Juice da Pur Source...BLESS

best one yet for sure! so sick

It's beautiful how many people got his back, be nice to have a community like that

He is living for the surf. You could especially see it when he was in Georgia. Came back and was happy like a lil kid that gets a puppy to christmas :D

Seriously among the best surf vlog episodes ever> Sick one for real surf fans!

i’ve never watched big wave surfing before this, but now I have such an appreciation for the surfers talent

"Oh yea that little head dip." You are a freaking modern day gladiator Koa! Crazy wipeout on that 1st wave, and that backside barrel were insane bra! Killer video too! You simply ROCK!

Retired surfer here. Nothing like you guys, God speed guys and keep it safe.

Agreed that this was one of the best episodes yet. I watched it this morning and a 2nd time just now. Like how it covered multiple days, firing pipe & great footage of Pe' ahi.

Yeah Yeah Yeah!! That was fkn epic, well done for making the finals Koa, and for getting one of the most stylish barrels in the whole comp!!

What a good guy, world class surfer himself but still humble and genuinely excited at making the final, great achievement, great surfer, great guy, well done buddy

Koa the waterman gets seasick??!! That's like a fish being allergic to water. Love the videos!!!!

koa ,you are what a real surfer is.no fear ,respect , love .....the world respects you heaps....

It doesn't even look like fun!!!!!! Different strokes for different folks, these guys have balls of steel

A big wave surfer that gets sea sick? Holy crap! That is real dedication.

Tell your brother congrats and goodluck in his career - and those were some INSANE waves; my dream is to one day surf jaws...

best episode yet bru, wow so sick

To you Koa and all other big wave warriors....... AMAZING you are the bravest best surfers on the planet Second to nothing WOW THANKS SO MUCH GREAT VLOG Stay safe crazy dudes

Best one yet. Congrats on the final. Balls of steels.

It wouldn't be a Koa Vlog without the coffee parts of the vlog. Loving these videos man.

Hook, line and sinker!!! I’m loving, watching your videos Koa. Much much much love and respect!!! Thank you

we love the coffee segment

I can't imagine even SEEING jaws that big in person, let alone being out in the water.

YOU ARE A MONSTER KOA !!!! 🙌🌊 Epic vid

Wow, awesome you went in as a wildcard and ended up making the FINAL! Congrats. Must be cool to do things which would kill the average human. And great editing job Jack! Love this episode!!!

Koa, You definitely WIN the Internet! I SO love seeing these vlogs! I MISS Hawaii and surfing SO much! Koa, You are a true ambassador for the sport AND the Aloha spirit! I send you my best wishes all the way from Kansas City, Missouri. Sincerely, Jeff Merson Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Kapono

Well done Koa. Killed it. - PS. Lovin the 'Its too early to talk - just drink coffee' shot. Cracked me right up!

sick episode - mad respect for Koa and all the other athletes that have the stones to surf in those conditions!

Best vid yet Koa and Jack awesome

Dang Koa you have covered some serious ground this yr thanks for taking us along for the ride. Huge congrats on Jaws and loved all the detail and prep you shared on all that happens before the event.

From one retired Hellman, Big Respects; We used to draw waves likes that one you took off on @Pe'ahi -- Never realizing that they existed somewhere on the planet. 🙏🏽

this is the best episode yet! Feel like I was there with you guys. So intense. So scary even to watch. Thanks for documenting, and surviving, that Historic day.

How sweet to see your brother. I loved it.

Badass. We get to see inside scoop of an epic event. Thank you for the upload.

Awesome edit, you guys killed it. So cool to see what's going on when you guys are going to surf this kind of waves ! Plus thanks because you've inspired me to do some surf edits.

Best video on RU-vid!! Surfing jaws looks terrifying but thrilling at the same time. Great video

Making me miss Maui so much. Mahalo for the best surfing content on YT Koa.

So sick Koa. Its good to see that even the lads at the top are human and get affected by nerves. I had pre surf nerves just watching :)

Glad you got that wildcard. Was good to see a young charger out there koa

I was able to ride there in 1991 on a boogie board the waves were big it was a spring swell , and those rocks are no joke! Much respect !, also that trail was a bugger.., we lived/worked on the pineapple plantation down thr road, in Napilihau(sp) Lahaina area for 9 months as a 16 year old kid. I love that side of Maui with all my heart until I die. we also used to camp by the lighthouse over there, fond memories watching this.

so good to see a behind the scene of this kind of contest, best episode !!!

loving the longer episode, can't get enough of this, makes my day after coming home and relaxing from a long day at work. thanks brotha, much love

Wow. Unreal, best episode yet! The limits of surfing are being pushed

The best entertainment during this lockdown. Keep it coming Koa. Aloha

Sick!!!!!!! Now that's livin' it up bro! Feeling all them emotions is what life is all about. Congrats to the local boys. Shoots

“You just gotta send it” words to live by

Koa your vids are incredible! You throw down great vlogs! Keep up the good work.

Much love from the East Coast. You killed it Koa and you should definitly expect more wildcards in the future after that performance!

Charging as always brothah🍁

Glad I went back and watched this one, really intense situation you can tell Koa was hyped

Koa another bomb veelog brah! The longer movie once in a while is all time!

Ho Koa how sick was that first one at pipe!! Wave of the winta!!

Love the candid moments of terror thru making Finals. Thx for letting us all live little vicariously thru u bro.

Awesome. I got scared just watching from the couch!!! Can NOT imagine....

Koa that was AMAZING! So sick. All of the videos should be this long too😂

Monster waves congratulations Koa. Great greeting frien from Barcelona.🌊 🏄 😉

Channel is growing fast! Keep it up fellas!

thank u for your service, and god bless. no waves in georgia i heard a couple on so wind swell.

Koa you are literally one in a million man you charge so hard its unreal !!!!. almost spilt my cup of tea over my lap when Peter Mel said ah there goes Koa Rothman the wildcard :). To be surfing amongst the likes of Jamie Mitchell , Billy Kemper, Greg Long ect must have been so cool Keep these episodes coming dude

Bro thank you for documenting this. It’s epic. So captivating. I live in Miami where waves are a few feet at best and it’s cool. I just love surfing and I’m not at the skill level to ride the waves you guys ride but I love to see it. It’s a way to explore the world and see things I may never see in person. So dope and much appreciated 🤙

OMG I felt nervous and scared for you! This was more of Documentary than a “Vlog” So sick.

Good to know I'm not the only one who's nervous throughout the big wave riding experience......before, during, and after. Quick side note, I live in So Cal where big is 10ft lol.

Yewww! Atta boy Koa

Best one yet boys

Best episode yet.

I worked at Mana Foods, where y’all buy good organic food whenever you come to Maui! Power up the right way.love how humble you are Koa. And you rip!!

Yeah Koa!! Love the coffee scene ha ha! Keep up the longer vlogs brah you're killing it yew!!
