  • Koa Smith travels to Cape Town, South Africa where he tests the health benefits of natural ice baths spending 20 min in the cold Atlantic Ocean. Next Koa does a beach clean up with Chelsea Kauai and Sentinel Ocean Alliance before heading off for a beach day of surfing and games on one of Cape Town’s most beautiful beaches.

    Still loving the SA vlogs… really appreciate the work and effort u put into these videos as well as the amount u give back to our beautiful South African community. Hopefully gonna see u coming down to the magical Nahoon Beach soon🇿🇦💙

      Yeah I totally agree! Love these vlogs. Living in CT seeing all the breaks I surf on camera is so cool. And so cool you said nahoon. That’s my home break where I grew up. Learned to surf at the life savers shack and corner. And got barrelled at reef for the first time. Nahoon is definitely underrated

    • @pyroza35

    Llandudno is definitely one of the most scenic beaches I’ve ever surfed. Beautiful green barrels, white sand and mountains.
    Cheers from Brazil, nice vid.

    Your lifestyle is an inspiration to me. The way you’re always in nature and always taking on new adventures is awesome. I feel like the life behind computers often leaves me depressed by the end of the day but something about being out in nature, especially the ocean cleanses me. Love your videos!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

    Cape Town is probably one of the most scenic place in the world.
    Have you project to come in Europe ? I’m leaving near the famous Hossegor beach break. South west France is kind of California. Mountains and Atlantic Ocean. Hundreds kilometers of coast line with the world class wave of Mundaka.
    You might come visit us ! There is so much to see out there.
    Thanks to all the team 🙌🏾🤩
    🌊🤙🏾Aloha !

    By far the biggest source for plastic pollution is the fishing industry. For example more than 40% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is lost or abandoned fishing gear. So if you care about the Ocean then the most reasonable thing you can do is to stop eating fish and other seafood.

    • @mountainssea9642
      @mountainssea9642 Před rokem +2

      That’s not going to do anything to stop eating fish. What will help is for manufacturers to use recycled materials and sustainable products and for fishermen to be way more conscientious about their gear both in and out of the boat.

    • @ragingrooster5444
      @ragingrooster5444 Před rokem +1

      @@mountainssea9642 Yeah right, let's all recycle more and try to really avoid any meaningful change like destroying the oceans and killing billions of fish. I'm sure this will be the turning point!
