Koa great job! Just listening and and letting Nate tell his story for the first 18 minutes, exactly what you needed to do. Bert would have interrupted 18 times.

That's the Hawaiiana in him. The culture is to be humble and listen and to enjoy and let his friend enjoy telling his stories and adventures. Nate will do the same later😊🤙🏻

Nate is an epic storyteller

You guys chill so well together, it's never tedious.

Man Nate, those beatdowns were so brutal and dangerous! The scorpion description was breathtaking. So glad your spine or neck didn't snap! What a great podcast!

So glad to see you are back .... Been missing the Nate and Koa podcast ❤

Glad the boys are back

Appreciate you guys. Keep it real and stay passionate about what you do. Enjoy listening to your insight. Thanks from Florida!

Story telling is absolutely epic and just hilarious !!! love this podcast... Please more stories...you guys are the best and most real!

We need more pods! These are so dope

I surfed for 9 years while living in the USVI & FL and have been destroyed by 8ft...can't even imagine what it's like to get worked in 30ft cold death. Great storytelling men, felt like I was down there in the dark.

I love Nate's proclivity towards the Irish slabs. So epic!

Stay exactly the way you are. You are both great both when you go off alone or bonding on your podcast or with your friends. Your users love you!!!! 😊

Viewers, rather. Lol

1. Agree. Change the description, it helps the video reach more people. Great content that needs to be seen. 2. I didn’t realize that surfing was such a grind for you guys. Thanks for giving us an inside glimpse. Sometimes we don’t realize how hard you guys have to work for us, the viewer. We really appreciate your hard work.

You guys make 53 minutes seem like 15, so interesting and fun, thanks. And so true about social media being less about passion and more about views. Most views seem to come from the word SHARK anywhere in the title, (oh, and also drop in beauty of Lydia and Mahina on occasion, both stunning).

Guys, change the description of the video. This stuff you are talking about is serious, it shows the professionalism and the technical abilities, both mental and physical that are needed to survive in big waves. Kudos to you both.

I've been surfing since the age of 12. I'll be 51 here shortly and had a lot of idols and inspiration but Nate you're the man..

“Go harder!” LMFAO

You two are crazy nuts😂I love it ❤️✌️

The skill that you both have is amazing. Paddle surfers do not get enough credit. You both have been in sticky situations and make it out. Love that you talk to each other and we learn sooooo much. Such skills, such good friends,like brothers, and just funny guys.

Lmao nates stories crack me up even when hes drowning, the superman scorpion, and then the Irish dude keeps dumping him back into the lineup! 😂

Uncle Nates storytelling skills are beyond epic. Even Koa was hanging on to every word You guys have truly found a great partnership. Blessings of protections on each of your adve

I lost it on the “that’s what I’m saying! The impact training!” When koa said he felt concussed after the workout😂😂😂

So glad you are back at the podcasting. Excellent story telling. At 29:35, time flies! Keep doing what you're doing!

Finally, you guys are back!!!

Great podcast as always. Nates stories are always so amazing and when Koa re-retires from Big Waves, he will have some amazing ones as well haha

Every joint everywhere all at once? Good discussion, I'm curious to know more about the businesses side with contests and awards and where it's all going. You guys are awesome, hope you have a good winter.

@Nate&Koa Podcast This was so good i came back to watch it again

Cool pod again...nailing beat down feeling I had it happen in DOH day a swell ago and remembered it as much as a good wave in the swell ya never know when, uncles respect and social media change that drives money🤙🏽

Love how you went in depth with what you experience underwater, especially after that brutal wipe out.... Also would love to see some interviews with some of the 'Uncles'.

Great story Nate, thanks for sharing, for some reason wipe out stories are the best

Koa the quality of the new TIL merch is insane!!! Love my new Ts!!

Man it’s been a blast following this growth !!!!

Koa & Nate, You North Shore Boys are turning into honorable kick-ass men. 🤙🏽 Aloha spirit is in you & me…keep taking me in those barrels with you! Yee 😎 🌊💃🏻 Happy 30th Birthday 🥳 You are already legends!! 🏄🏻‍♂️ This is Livin

Loved seeing two old best friends turning 30 having so much fun becoming old men together 😂 … great informative interesting vid, thanks!

Koa you legend!!!

this is my favorite podcast... keep it up.!

Nate’s story time was unreal

Thanks fellas! Commenting before I’ve even listened a full minute! ✊

Irish safety dude whips me right back to the lineup… 😂😂😂

Fantastic Vlog guys 💯 %

Great podcast! You guys made me laugh out loud

weight lifting is basically great for every sport! Its so great for injury prevention! especially dynamic lifts like powercleans and even squats

Very true. Eg ski racing is notorious for concussions and ACL tears. Developing the right muscle balance in the legs and neck massively reduces the occurrence of these injuries and their severity. And as Nathan points out, this is done using weights, not bouncing around on a bosa ball.

What about “e sports”

Yeee boys glad youre back!

Such a great compelling conversation between athletes at the top of their game …connected also to the history of surfing. Would you consider adding maybe some captions with the full names of key personalities you are referring to … like ‘Uncle D … Uncle Mike’ ? It could increase your audience who like me surfed as kids and become drawn in to your ongoing adventures so well documented…

Looking forward to hearing all the winter shenanigans 😂

That’s funny. Nate you got the alien eyes going on!!

Hey Koa, you've mentioned before you get sea sick, me too. Do you ever get sea sick when surfing? I do pretty rarely but when I do it sucks, especially if I'm way off shore and have to paddle in sick. Just wondering if you've got any tips or anything you've learned to deal with this. Thanks, love the pod guys

Funny what blows up. I teach Media and TV , but have to admit the obvious. One time baby!

There getting better at podcasting best one yet. Keep up the storytelling 🤙🏼

Great insight fellas!

Back! Good shizzzle,

Thanks for keeping it real.

Jajajaja Mr. Nate looked like Wes Borland the Guitarist for Limp Bizkit ...Great show guys big ups 🤙

Good to be able to laugh about these things afterwards

Mad respect to Uncle Mike

U guys gonna come to norcal this winter? If this winter keeps up mavs should have some epic days

Guys, I’m a retired tennis coach from Brazil, who happens to be a surfer since a young age. I understand the subject of pro surfers/sponsorship, those things…that’s a crazy scenario to be a pro surfer. I really watch with admiration JJ the way he manage his career. If in tennis just top 50s can survive like a pro, imagine a surfer! By the way, I’m not uncle Mike, but I’m a decent 69 years old surfer.

listen twice as much as u talk makes a great podcast

hahahha Great story teller.... How you survive that i'll never understand..

Regarding social media like Tik Tok and such and how it affects the industry, it reminded me of when on a podcast, Kelly said his favorite surf movie was "Brice de Nice"...it pointed out exactly what you two were saying about the wtf Tik Tok dances on the beach with no waves...dj

Core sticks. That's why it's core. Don't focus on views, focus on passion. 1) you won't burn out and it's less of a grind because it's what you care about and 2) the folks that care about what you care about will stick with you. So maybe you don't get the million views once, but instead you keep the 10s of thousands of views week after week. The second is far more valuable in the long run. And Nate, wise words re: how to leverage the notoriety. I'm bummed you guys have to grow up so quickly and see the ugliness of the large corporations and media. But I'm glad you're sharing your hard earned wisdom with the younger crowd. And I know they hear you - so keep it up.

Heck yeah, Podcast Day! ~ Guys, change the description back to whatever it was before the previous comment demanded it be changed to include something more serious...but maybe include the links to some Touching grass PSA's, D.A.R.E. propaganda from the Reagan era, and Stop-Drop and Roll instructions...the REAL important stuff!

I got myself transition contacts for surfing after seeing yours.

Great Pod. Was that Celsius Nat was spinning? Looks like Celsius bottoming. Get those Celsius Options Nathan. I figure Nathan is talking to Kyle Watson at Celsius. Mahina and Nathan are perfect for Celsius. Oh and sign Lisa Anderson. Pick out the surf houses Ha

The part where Nate is explaining his beat downs in Ireland is epic..

I don't surf, and yet I enjoy your podcasts. You deserve more subscribers. You thought about posting it 50 times on Instagram? 😃

Is there a way to tell which way is up during those heavy wipeouts when you're getting flipped all around? Have you every swam downward thinking it was up? I can imagine the board helping but what if your leash snaps

You guys think you're feeling sore now, wait until you're closing in on 50. Youthful exuberance is one thing, but reality will pull you up.

missed y’all

ahhh youth.... if we just stay in shape... um... and stop drinking...we can hold up like Uncle Mike...... mad respect for the old breed

What’s the “form” footage of pipe with uncle D at the end??

Ask Nate about his experience surfing these isolated spooky slabs Does he think about sharks or getting smashed on Rocks? Does the wave make everything worth it or is it all for the content?

Koa where were you surfing on Black Friday?

Can you go deeper into your fin choice for the monster slabs and big waves? Why do you go with a thruster set up when most guys are riding quads on their BW guns?

So funny

Dude age is just a number, it's all about your attitude. I ride superbikes with guys in there late 60's and they're still crazy fast. However, I have noticed recover time is way worse at 30 than 22. Keep at it boys 🤙

Could you guys have the lifeguards/tow people who saved Kala and Joao etc on the show sometime? I have mad respect for them but no real clue how they work etc. They are the unsung heros of the lineup. Thanks!
