I love that there was no music over that first session. The raw sounds from paddling to the kick out were so sick.

That was impressive audio on the waves, you could get a better sense of power, the looks can be decieving.

I’m a non-surfer who got hooked on the all the surfing clips during Covid. Teahupo’o clips are favorites. In spite of these being “small” waves, this is by far my most favorite ever clip. The audio makes my hair stand up. I hope this becomes a trend.

@@puffysnowball2261 if your into these type of heavy waves i highly recommend checking out Skeleton Bay, Supersucks Sumbawa, and Nias. If you havent already before. There are plenty others but those are prob my top 3. Might get a kick outta "Shipstern Bluff" break too.

love the raw minimal editing vlog of what its like to travel there, sleep, pull up, showing the line up.

older surf dude giving two thumbs up for the mellow soundtrack at the end of the vid. EXCELLENT. Agree the paddling and wave audio in the beginning was also awesome

The thunder from the waves breaking is so sick

Right!

The ending with the sunset definitely this is livin

Stunning visuals at the ending sequence

These videos are so awesome! I love how you guys add all the airport travels, prep time, boat time….there is something so raw, pure and authentic in what you put out. It almost feels like I’m there too.

Some day when your doing your pre surf talk, it would be nice to hear how much stuff cost. Especially surf boards on the airlines, boat rental, etc.

This is one of my favorite vlogs! Love that you guys included the airport travel and downtime on the boat. That’s what really makes it feel like we’re there with you!

Amazing sunset, great waves, looks like a beautiful place to visit....freezing in NZ started snowing on the mountains last night.

You are always so happy in Tahiti its great to see you there again. Perfect music Jack Thanks!

Wat.😮.Eli was in N.Z!!! Love to c wat waves he scored...✌️🇳🇿

The videography here is next level.

Thank you for the great vibes! 🏝

So good to have the sounds of the ocean!

Love the new format!

What a great first section can’t wait for next weeks video when the bomb’s come.

Tahiti looking fine right now ⛳

Camera quality is awesome Koa and Jack, love seeing the wave contours

Beautiful waves but also beautiful scenery

I had to watch so I could hear "Hey Bra" at least once today. Never surfed a wave with boat access so I found the boarding method at 11:20 pretty cool.

the energy in this video was insane. loved the lowkey guitar during the second sesh too. keep up the good vibes 🤙

Man you should try Santiago in Chile to Tasmanias My last 2 trips have been 49 and 56 hours one way. Including a 15 hour layover in Texas 5am to 8 pm . And no I am not excited for your trip but really enjoy all you guys do! Mahalo young Padawan keep them coming

great vid

That really is a beautiful part of the world.

The Flood was a tragic event on the Village , in time it will be built back better .

That Sunset on the boat ride in after that session where it was okay at first then the wind sat down to big barrel s priceless

tanks eh for the ride along.

wow from across the pond ✌

What is the name of the food spot with sashimi sauce? looks bomb!

This shows a crazy contrast between this "small" and when it pumps. It must be unbelievable when its pumping

great to see it this size instead of code red days enjoy brother ✌

I have only seen that wave break when it is huge. I never new it was a great wave at 6-8 ft.

beautiful

camera upgrade? production quality is insane!!

raw audio is unmatched !

Just super curious with no judgement but how much is that boat for the day?

big props ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️for Dane right now

u know u have a good life when u can travel to hawaii to tahiti to grab some waves :)

Nice mullet Eli

Perfect detox from daily insanity. Thanks.

be cool to see a "This is Living" boat !

Amazing heard you guys said. "Its small day" 😅

what are the best surf apps to look for wave/wind forecast ?

Yees Eli!!

do it vince

Pretty small for a big trip Rothman

vicariously living through you! I truly believe I was born in the wrong place lol mountains are great and all but the ocean's just something else entirely😝

hi koa - your other board's design looks like a 60s/70s verner panton-ish.

Koa!!!! You got a rash vest on 🤷🏼‍♂

I love the no music when your surfing , then you can hear the ocean

Great job on the music-less first session!

that has to be more than 6-8 feet. Amazing video as usual

11:20 that was slick

Where’s the podcast?

Thaehupo'o is one of those waves where the hardest of shortboarding is done

Homies asking the boat crew if he needs help 🙏🙏🙏 such good people

Jet ski's in the water, what a trip... What about before when it was heavy and you had to paddle the circuit your so lucky. It's too easy
