We’re Really Digging These Kolohe Edits

Sharp and smooth, short and sweet.

There are really good surfers, and then there’s the level above.

Pretty much everyone on the QS is really good. But to make it and then stay at the top, you have to be really, really good. 

Kolohe is one of those really, really good guys. 

Brother won 9 NSSA titles as a junior, the most of any male ever, going on to qualify for the CT at the age of 18 after notching major deals with Nike 6.0 and Target, making him one of the wealthiest rookies in the sport. 

Kolohe’s longevity on tour makes him feel older than he is. He’s only 27, his best could very well be yet to come. At least that’s what this edit suggests. 

With a baby on the way and following his mammoth nationwide tour for his feature film ‘Reckless Isolation’, Kolohe has set off one of surfing’s greatest bidding wars since Jordy Smith in 2008. 

But is Kolohe really worth starting a war over?

Well, when you consider the quality of his surfing in the clip and the fact that it goes for two and half minutes and was filmed over a single session, you might start to get the picture. 

A really good guy might be able to stitch together a highlight reel of this caliber over a couple of weeks, a really really good guy gets it done in just a few hours.
