GoPro: Koa Smith's 27 Second Skeleton Barrel - GoPro of the World August Winner

Amazing! That was fantastic

Wow! One with the ocean. Wicked awesome sauce 🤙😎✌

I was looking for gun barrels but this will do.

this might be the coolest thing in the world

Koa forgot sunscreen that day so decided to spend the whole day in a tube !!!
Incredible

If it happened to me, I would have probably cried at the end

SO THIS WHAT BIG Z IS TALKING ABOUT??!!!

i feel like I can taste this water.... through my nose... and cough it back up.

Bro screaming like a pterodactyl haha

One time 8 was in a barrel and shake jumped out of the wave

One day we might find the technology to precisely calculate and traverse bareling waves to travel faster on water than even air.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The dude he dropped in on got a 40 second barrel 😂

This has to be the best feeling in the world. idc

This must be such a beautiful thing to experience

What p

The best times

Dropped in on someone’s wave of their life, yeah good one Koa, head first into the reef at pipe you go

Wrong count of time, the barrel lasted 72 seconds, if im not mistaken...

BEAUTIFUL !

wave of a lifetime

just crazy

how did he get back ?

I wonder if after a barrel THIS long, the time dilation effect is so profound that the brain is permanently altered and one can no longer feel enjoyment from standard cover-ups(legit ones though)

That must have felt AMAZING.

Would be so much better without music.

i legit just got lost in the sauce watching this

Now THAT was a tube ride. Wow.

We have such a beautiful planet. We must save her. No other world for thousands of light years can this be experienced, we are special, we are beautiful, we need to become one before it’s too late

KOA then goes on to find out he wasn’t recording

The ocean is the perfect wave pool... Such diversity and uniqueness...sure there are perfect barrel in land pools, but let me see them make a Jaws pool..heavy and unpredictable.

real life Surfs Up lol

Super shot

Nice to see the real time version at the end. Slo mo doesn't portray the intensity and insanity of the moment

I like the part when koa drops in on the guy

I gotta say it is so beautiful, almost hypnotizing

God creates, man shreds.

It helps to be goofy.

Almost-drop-in-guy who forced Koa to take the camera out of his mouth to yell, and ruined the best footage in surfing EVER, should be waterboarded.

A large portion of my childhood and young adult life was spent looking out of a tube.

what about the guy going backside already up and riding?

Holy .......

Inesplicavel essa onda obra prima da natureza

Thank you for this upload!

The smooth sections without foam are amazing

There's something timeless about this. Just watching it brings me into the moment. A sense that everything that's ever been and ever will be is here, now

Bro this is so sick. But all I can imagine is the 60ft megaladons lurking beneath you

That is unbelievable but why is it in slow motion? Why can't we see it unedited??

is that theee not the ultimate goal!!
