Kolohe Andino, pre-injury, San Clemente
Kolohe Andino’s been beached with an ankle injury for over two months now. You might’ve forgotten how amazingly the kid surfs (but probably didn’t). This clip, from Lost, should serve as a very good reminder. It was filmed around San Clemente in June, just before Kolohe hurt himself. There’s some really amazing combos in here. Stab hopes to see Mr Andino back in the brine real soon.
He’s like a less-polished Fanning with an air repertoire …
he is very good, but to say he is the best is fucking ridiculous
How is is better than John John, seriously, how…
^trolling
1) John Florence surfs like a man, Kolohe surfs like a boy.
2) I never want to watch anyone surf trestles again
3) Dane is the best surfer to ever live…end of story.
this kid is the best surfer in the world…easy
in the world of prepubescent men
^trolling
he is very good, but to say he is the best is fucking ridiculous

couldn’t agree more.. he’s got the exact same forehand wrap turn
wow. good stuff
trying too hard…looks ugly. some good combo’s, a great turn here and there, but its lowers, anyone whos a pro can put on a show out there.
while watching this video my dad said, “turn this garbage off and put back on the teahupoo comp.” i agree
Kenny powers of surfing
kid gains 25 pounds and he could win a title or 4..until then..ehhsdunno
flaring like a hemmroid
Haha GT just tried to use a North Shore reference while interviewing Gabriel and looked like the turd he is.
robot surfer
is he getting worse
Fuck off all you try hards Kolohe is equal to or if not better than Medina and John easy the best forehand punt in the biz and throws some gnarls turns as well.
All you above 1-15 wouldn’t know good surfing if it shat on your face.
Bunch of kooks.
How is is better than John John, seriously, how…
Stop saying “gnarls” and calling crew Kooks in the same breath…Kook.
He,s just a kid with shit loads of talent, haters like it or not this kid one day will be a world title contender !oh an great sound track, RIDE LOST
http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Video/Andino,-Geiselman-and-De-Col-Take-On-Teahupoo-021243224536632 there are some waves of consequences you fucks!
lame he is being left behind by Medina and John. Kelly didn’t say his name once when aked who was the next Kelly he said jjf now maybe maybe Medina
He’s a good surfer but sorry fella’s, your all wrong, JW would destroy him… Cleaner, faster, better…. That simple. He can also charge some solid waves.
you can’t compare kolohe to john john…kolohe doesn’t charge NEARLY as hard as john.
why are vimeo clips always blocky and shit on the stab site. should be called stinkmag
Shows signs of a great surfer by making hard moves look easy.
youtube works better than vimeo
problem is 90% of his public image has been based on him going right in small surf at trestles. a wave anyone can surf well.
1) John Florence surfs like a man, Kolohe surfs like a boy.
2) I never want to watch anyone surf trestles again
3) Dane is the best surfer to ever live…end of story.
I love that the Tahiti comp is on, and yet ‘Here’s Kolohe at Trestles!’ The fact is that Kolohe is being promoted as the next big thing, all cause he won a bunch of QS comps in a row, and now cannot make it out of a heat on the CT. Truth is that he does not charge, and until he proves it, he will have a monkey on his back. Watching guys rip in soft Southern California waves is one thing, lumpy Bells, or gaping Fiji is another. Leaving Fiji before the big swell didn’t do him any favors either. Kolohe surfs good…not great, and with guys like John John, Pupo, and Julien on Tour, and Jack Freestone, Felipe Toledo, and such coming strong he better figure out the CT when he gets healthy. By the way he does not deserve the injury exemption. Dusty does, so Kolohe needs to prove it when he gets healthy.
Give me a break, there are two wild cards that the ASP can allocate if they choose to, and the fact that Dusty has been injured for 4 events of the season would most likely give him the nod on the wild card, but the fact that dusty seems to hate on the tour constantly saying im over the tour couldnt help his cause, plus the word on the street is that Kolohe will be out for another couple months. The kid deserves a shot regardless of what all the haters say. Reoni will have a shot as well at the WC as well.
Kolohe will get the wild card if he misses 4 events as well, dusty hurt his ankle playing basketball before the other one was even healed. Plus he had results prior to his injury and was qualifying at that point.
Jake is an idiot and GT is a turd. That clip was mental.
Stop Hating, And for fucks sake stay the hell out of SAN CLEMENTE. Bitches
San ClementGAY sucks. La Jolla is where the real men live in SOCAL. You can have the Lowers crumble fest, and Ill take hollow, pumping Blacks. Turns out your the bitch
easily the most over hyped & over paid athlete of all time.
If he did not live IN Tran Clemente, he would not get nearly the pub he gets, nor the scrutiny. Aside from Lowers, the surf there is laughably weak and sparce. Better to live in SD, Ventura, or Santa Cruz unless you only want to be stroked off by surf mags all day. Underachieving and over hyped. Kolohe, its time to prove all the hype, not have us watch clips of you from months ago while the Tour is charging Chopes.
are you an ediot, the kid is injured he blew his ankle out, of course he is not in chopes.
Obviously, Donkey, but he never charged b4 that. Everyone is all over Medina, who is actually winning comps and pulling the tricks that he tries, for being a big wave novice. Even if he’s hurt (which he obviously is), its time to stop watching him punch his boards in half and surf gutless mush. He isn’t dodging Chopes…but he is getting more hype than anyone that is.
the kid is as good as medina and jj are
surfs like a young mick with more airs
not good timing for a young guy with a notable absence of big wave charging to upload a vid of himself flayling at lowers whilst chopes is on
I don’t think he put it out — it’s not on his website. Looks like Lost made it.
Of course, LOST is always putting out vids to hype their underachieving stable of riders. Kolohe will be fine once he grows a pair. Pipe is coming w plenty of time to shut everyone up.
He has the one final step to go before he can seriously be considered a true generational surfer – it just seems surprising that he doesnt just commit to surfing nothing under 6 ft until he’s cured
lowers is a vagina kind of wave.
The surfing was MENTAL fuck the rest of this bullshit. The kids amazing. 1 thing though!!! i just wanted to see 1…yes 1 turn on rail to the end without the flick out. im just saying…thats what i was thinking, but itl come with time. the guy is a true talent. thanks for ya time.
Conspiracy Theory Alert!
How about the “sore ankle” being a ploy to get the injury wild card because he was going to fall off tour anyway. You know coaches will do anything to stay in the game and we know Chloe has coaches.
Did you see the kids ankle at the US OPEN on the web cast when they showed it, it is not a pretty injury, and in concerns to your stupid and very IGNORANT comment of not qualifying for the tour, the kid is still in the cut after missing two primes a 6 star, and chopu. All you are is a lame f——- hater who is jealous of the kid, sorry but thats the TRUTH!!! Go back to your hater hole.
Oh jeez Dino, no need to get your knickers in a twist!
I did head my comment as “conspiracy theory” just in case I was wrong. Do you know what a theory is?
To answer your question about watching the US Open web cast, well no I didn’t, seriously who really watched the dribble? I mean well I can imagine dads would watch their sons of course but who else would bother?
As for me being jealous of the kid, not at all. Industry puppet, no thanks. Oh and I can read books and shit, cool huh. The kid might have to learn to do that sort of thing when Nike starts pulling their sponsorships in the next year or so, probably not though, there are plenty more willing to throw money down the drain for a mannequin that can throw his fins at Trestles.
Love to all from down here in the Hater Hole
P.S Love the passion BRO, love it.
i can finally see what the hype was about
hey brother andino:
i’m tired of the photos of your dogs.
i’m tired of your soft trestles vimeos.
please, send me via fedex your broken boards kid.
i don’t have the money you have to smash my equipment like that.
BTW that smashing board scene simply put your surfing image to the ground. you’re gonna be THE SPOILED KID WHO HAS ALL THE HYPE AND SPONSOR IN THE WORLD BUT PREFER TO BREAK HIS BOARD ASIDE FROM SHOWING A REAL SURFING!
for life kid!
fuck your shitty (progressive? reo after reo) surfing.
nike should put you down this year.
compare you to medina or JJ.
are you crazy???
you can’t win a fucking heat at the ct kid.
c’mon. is it me or you are planning a wildcard for next year?
sad truth kolohe.
i hope one day you get it brother.
maybe when mayhem make you one board per month.
you start to surf like a man.
go comb your hair or something kid. maybe take more pictures of your ugly dogs.
maybe get the fuck out of the ct. and let real surfers to come in.
ignorant brazzo ^^^
not hard to tell since he compares Kolohe to Medina. typical brazzo. shut up dude. the rest of the world doesnt have a boner for medina. so get your dirty boners out of our face.
Quality. But mid pack CT at best for now. A more hyped but less powerfull version of Brett Simpson. Age and strength transformed micks surfing and expect the same benefits for this kid with another 3-4 kg on his frame. Contender in a couple of years.
cool style
I enjoyed listening to “guns of brixton” can’t say the same about watching kolohe andino surf though.
