The Smith Bros Are Three Handsome, Altruistic, And Highly Capable Waveriders

Did you hit the genetic lottery?

Tall, well-built, striking features and good hair and teeth? If you can mark yes to all four of those criteria, you’re either a liar, an asshole or a Smith. 

Koa, Alex, and Tavis are brothers from Kauai who grew up in and around the sea. The youngest two (Koa and Alex) are professional surfers while the eldest (Travis) gets paid to seduce the camera lens but also slides a boog in his free time. 

The trio have just started a Youtube channel featuring their everyday lives, which includes surfing, getting high on bullet coffee, climbing waterfalls, and cleaning up the beach. You could call it a vlog, I guess, but the production value is way, way up from other surf channels we’ve seen. Theirs will likely have a quality over quantity kinda vibe, which is smart of the Smith bros to find an untapped vlog niche. 

…I guess we can add social media accumen to their list of favorable human qualities.
