WHAT IT WAS LIKE SURFING CODE RED TAHITI, THE FULL DAY OF CHAOS. TEAHUPO'O DAY 3 

Anyone else impressed with the sound of the raw footage? Heavy. 🙏🙌

I love that you guys recorded this without music. The sound and thunder of the wave is insane. The sheer power even at this size - you guys call it "small" LOL. Great footage.

This is what I’m talking about. Raw footage of chopes is all you need. The power in that wave is insane.

Hilarious to see the filmers all smoking in the boat

Who is the enforcer out there🤷🏼‍♂️who calls off the tow guys?

These close ups of the barrel exits where you can literally see the huge smiles on everyone's face, ugh! So good! THIS is livin

Love the no music, raw feel of this video. I love music in many of your videos, but this one hit it perfectly with just the sheer power and booming sound. Yes, the tow in surfers were a disturbance and honestly kind of ridiculous , looking foolish towing 8 feet waves.

The locals need to declare paddle only on a day like this or something, this is solid surf but its not 'CODE RED' and it is really not a tow in type situation, paddle only makes it more fair and a bit more of a pure experience for everyone. And honestly some of these tow ins are really a bit pathetic and on paddle in waves.

Your generation of surfers just blow my mind. So frigging GNARLY! I wish I had the guts to surf even pipeline forget Tahiti. Keep shooting amazing content my brother.

I feel like I'm becoming a serial commentor on your videos but I gotta say that This Is Livin is a perfect title. Your job is surfing. You live in paradise in what looks like a pretty rad house. You have a beautiful and charming girl, a great group of friends and are a super nice guy to boot. You really are living life. In my own way, I subscribe to this ideology but my accident has fucked up my psyche. I'm working on it but not back yet. I'll get there

Every vid features Koa whinging about something lol

I remember when Stewart and Severson hit this place and it was in all the bodyboarding magazines as "somewhere in Tahiti". Stewart just called it Teahupoʻo. No one knew how to pronounce it correctly but we all slanged it to "chopes". So here's this guy in the 90s, in his late 30's paddling in and dropping on bombs on a lid and all our minds got blown by the wave. Fast-forward to 2023 and you got a crowded lineup and these guys are fucking towing on a 6ft day? Are they doing that at 6ft Pipe next too? That was the equivalent of shoulder popping but instead coming in early so no one else could get on. Like paying someone to climb an epic mountain and getting in every mountaineers way. How could a surfer do that and not feel like a total asshole and just tow out and do it AGAIN?

7:11 then the casual taking off his hat flex 😂🤯🔥

This is Living!!

The sound of a crunching wave!

4:36 One of the most epic rides I've seen! 🤙

Fabulous video Koa!

Beautiful Koa!! Glad y’all get barreled!!🤙

great outtro! . just chilling by the shore....ahhhhh livin

Lovely Fr. Poly. Great vid, Koa.

Thank you for leaving the raw sounds in, unreal!

hahahah Koa lookin knackered in that intro

Thanks for sharing this, so beautiful

the amount of towers taking paddle-able waves from the paddlers is disgraceful. half the tow waves where smaller than the paddle ones. Ironically, half of the people towing are hawaiians who complain about haoles taking waves from the locals.

Great episode, love the audio of the ocean

Really good video Koa might have been your best!

Awesome ep! Loved the vibe! So good to see Eli’s Mullet! EO!

The tunas are pushing a huge bait ball of fish to the surface. That’s why those birds are feeding on the bait fish. Awesome!!

This is, like WOW ! Beautiful footage.

All insane ride’s. Blessings. Salute.

Cant wait to see more. Hope yall are safe.

My favorite place right off the bat. Love me some Teahupo’s

Good vid, Koa! 🌺 Aloha nui 🌺

my gosh I heard the tow situation was bad that day, but this is next level.... towing waves barely worth paddling. haha

Mad respect for whoever surfed those crazy waves🤙🤙🤙

Ye hop nice surfing keep up the good work

Appreciate the footy sans music, love hearing chopes thunder. Seems small for tows but sick ones regardless 👌🤙 8:50 yewwww

Loved the clips of people towing perfect paddle size teahupo’o 😂

When you occasionally, briefly look up at the view, it does add rejuvenation.

thanks hommie nice insight... fig newtons bro?? lol gnarlier than the waves

Koa Surf⭐️Star 🙌🙌🙌

uff nice video bro, go on !!

I really like the style of your content, just like being part of the trip

Good choice paddling. Looked like high tide too.

Living the dream!

All I have to say is " Ohh my God " I bet the sound is more terrifying than the wave. Awesome video.

Towers taking every wave but looks perfect for paddling, no respect for the guys wanting to paddle

Amazing!

Need daily videos of Tahiti

This is Awesome

😈😈😈 classic Nathan fips into school of fish and birds , like im going in bare hands 😈😈😈

Great footage, propstofilmer,😊god blesslinda

Jack has an amazing eye Koa. You're lucky to have him!

Koa jack thank you 😃🤙

That was SICK

Always amazed at how the bottom of that wave drops out 😮

The waves sound so good!

I had to go back and watch the real code red from 10 years ago to compare. To bad it didn’t hit harder this time.

😈😈😈 the waves are so powerful, it makes me anxious 😈😈😈

yooo thats sick, the waves are perfect! super jealous haha

You guys lucky to live life!

Love to see the planning and travel to get there. Love the journey as much as the surf

The tightness of the barrels on the waves was something

yeah boys 🔥🥂👏

Wow, I certainly chose the wrong path in life. There is not a more beautiful place on the planet than where you are Koa. You truly are "livin".

Nate Bomb diving of the jet-ski into a flock of hungry birds is EPIC!!! 😂

One if not the most beautiful place on the planet

Wave audio so cool!

Nuts!!

Great guys obrigado

Well done

The twister ride gone gobble

I think this may be that raw sound vibe Vlog banger …

kontroversial Koa haha love you man keep speaking the truth

Sickk

Nice swell Koa ! cheers from argentina

I totally saw a humuhumunukunukuapua'a when they rode thru the bird pile

Amazing surfing and location. It'd be great if you could do an episode where you look at the work of the film camerapeople.

Its sick to see Koa trunking Teahps, trunk seem like a rare code red sighting now adays. Also, who's the dude in the kayak? lol

😈😈😈 dudes spinning in the air like rag doll ..... nice 😈😈😈

the local dooo towing because too much guys not from tahiti come to surf teahupoo

SlabTour with Flobros🏆🏆🏆

Funny watching the paddle guys get treated like boogy boarders at Pipe.... "Hey you sponges! Stay your asses inside!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Master.

incredible footage but definitely a bit of a circus out there with all those Jetskis in the line up.

1) dog - those birds were trying to chow and you kept rocking them 2) have you ever thought of doing standup? you're a funny dude 3) the beat in the outro is dope 4) insane clip

😈😈😈 place looks jurassic ... wicked so obviously paddling in one change of tide to high 😈😈😈

woah🤩

come to nor cal koa a trip you gotta make.

Yoooo. I dig this and it's always fun to watch. I surf in PB. I want to surf with you would be a dream.

Nice show crazy good waves,,and a whale with a horn is a Cabron. Shot out to Mac behind the lens nice 👌

My wife bought those newtons and made the same face you did!😂

THE GUYS ARE CHARGING

Bro 1 "how was it out there" Koa "ermmmm... not that great" 6:14 The waves😲

3:16 holy mother nature!!!

top video

Surprised you dont see feeding birds like that in Hawaii. Pretty common site fishing on the East Coast US. 100x greater than that too.

The clips of the guys getting towed in on like 6 footers are gold 😂

Honestly enjoyed this much more with no music

the vander linde gang in another universe going to tahiti
