Koa Rothman isn’t afraid of dangerous waves. The juice, for him anyway, is worth the squeeze. For the average surfer, though, many times it might not be, but Koa’s got the skill level to make that juice a little easier to get at. Pipeline is his bread and butter, and it’s not the safest wave a person can surf, so his baseline is a little different than most surfer’s baselines. He’s traveled the world over riding waves that are extraordinarily big, extraordinarily heavy, extraordinarily shallow, or some combination of all three, so he’s uniquely qualified to make a list of the top five most dangerous waves in the world. Which is exactly what he did in his most recent YouTube offering.
