Mason Ho Surfing Very CRAZY Waimea River

This week, the Hawaiian Islands were battered with days of 40mph storm winds, massive waves, torrential rain and even hail. With the weather finally clearing, Mason Ho grabs his trusty '96 Fish from ...Lost Surfboards and runs down to Waimea Bay to catch the river overloaded and ready to blow.
Always Listen to the lifeguards and Merry Christmas everyone!
Surfers: Mason Ho, Jamie O'Brien, Dylan 'Muddy' Graves

We need more Mason Ho in surfing. Way more entertaining than pretty much any video surfline puts out.

I was there in 2014, and we saw the river come to life as guys dug it out. We didn’t see it get quite this big, but it was just so cool to watch the standing waves form and guys go in.

@martinbiehl4596 Жыл бұрын

You are right. I have no idea whether this is dangerous or not. Can't really tell. But the fact that at the end where the wave is biggest and steepest people weren't going for it suggests that this is actually sketchy? Is it easy to drown there? Break your neck?

@BarrelKilla Жыл бұрын

a lot of rain accumulates upstream above Waimea Falls. the river mouth isn't open, so the water collects until it's about to overflow. sometimes people will dig with shovels to connect the river to ocean, this time it didn't take much effort to break it open with the rivermouth almost touching the shoreline. we also had 15ft waves this day that were battering the shoreline. madness!
