There is much beauty to the powers of our planet!

Lucky_Daanth not really

Lucky_Daanth pp

Not really scary but it is very beautiful

Lucky_Daanth unamazing and extremely unscary

@@rubytuesday5684 It's called a rip. At 0:40 you can see someone almost in one. See how the water is backing up behind him? If he fell he'd be sucked out to sea.

@@graphite2786 Rips do pull people into the sea but at 0:40 it's not a rip. But still, the slope is too much and if a big wave comes then all that water going out can easily pull you

@@rubytuesday5684 Google can be your friend

It's terrifying to be caught in one

Riptide or not that dude standing there is lucky he didn't get swept away

thank you Robert Roth, very cool!

Always befriend the locals theyve seen a lot

and don't swim where these locals are either very beautiful and very dangerous

lol. I've seen where the locals swim and dive in HI and trust me we want know part of that either.

Yes, LIVING locals

Lol

Then you have a lot of sense like the locals. The only drownings I heard of while I was there were tourists - two occurred on Lumaha'i. The locals know the currents and what beaches to avoid during certain times of the year. Lumaha'i is actually one of the most dangerous beaches on Kauai and is only slightly safer during the summer months (this was probably the winter). Those waves could knock anyone off their feet and into open sea in an instant.

@@kristinab1078 Here in Japan, during the terrible 2011 tsunami an entire elementary school was saved because of an old local saying "when the seas goes back, run up the hills." The kids did exactly that and were saved. Unfortunately this saying was not known elsewhere, and the results were more tragic than I wish to remember. You are absolutely right: never underestimate the power of the sea.

Me to but don’t think could keep up with them two it’s me old knees u know

Absolutely. The ignorance of the ocean here causes many rescues a day and unfortunate deaths. Not a vacation people want to lose their lives for. Gotta be understanding of our beaches. Aloha🌊

Those stones used to be part of a volcano thousands of feet high.. crazy right?

But the Stones have been withstanding waves of groupies for only six decades.

it’s a stone

@@adithyapraveennair4997 lol

actually those stones are where all that sand came from. They just got completely shit on lol

Happened with me...i got stuck in a lowtide

@Somnus LucisCaelum15 🖕

Exactly what I was thinking

Youre fine as long as you don't go too far out. It broke pretty hard on the rocks coming in

Ok dad😂

He learned from katara

i thought the same😳

KEV GAMING same😂😂

that's what meditation will do lmao

water tribe represent

Ouch, must’ve hurt

@@auhsojacosta1672 you think?

😬

Salt water in the cuts

Sharks are dangerous.

DeltaLou How else do you explain that structural integrity under strain. MY GOD the dynamics hnnnng.

I believe they crash test them and go through various scenarios to ensure maximum strength and stability throughout high stress environments. Bloody engineers!

props? heh, but dude that fucking sucks.

Counts as a failure to me.

looooooooool

Or for the REALLY morbid, both… fun day searching for bodies. 😀

Nice.

Same on O'ahu, many tourist die by the ocean and they don't broadcast it, they don't want to lose any tourist that might want to come to visit.

Just like Japan the image of it is fantasized

All kinds of debris, could be a rusty 44 galon drum. Ocean is no joke, but i was from a much smaller island

That smiley face makes this comment seem so ominous, like you wanted to watch someone get hurt 🧐

@WinterDragon *kids

@@rbb69 of course, only a dumbass would go near those waves but who knows, maybe they are grown differently.

I like Vladimir Putín swimming 🇷🇺❤️

Brought up with it. What a great childhood

Bloody idiots!! Let's see them swim against the current back in!! I see losers get rescue three times by patrol in a hour because they don't learn the first time!!

Kylie Healey I was wondering the same thing

they will be fine. looks fun

Deez Nutz the world is slowly getting pussified :(

They weren't tourists; they were locals. The girls all wear thongs, and they had tan skin and black hair. I used to live there too. And they looked like they knew exactly what they were doing. Not sure why you felt compelled to make up something just so you could inject some self-righteous nonsense denigrating "tourists."

@@someguy5035 It wasn't a self-righteous comment. It was my observation in the time period I lived there. I wasn't making a commentary of every drowning that has ever occurred on the island. Obviously, from time to time, locals drown too. However, locals who have lived in a place their entire lives are usually able to make a better judgment call on where and when to swim simply through experience. Tourists often don't have that same level of background information unless they are with someone who knows. I think the take away is that you can never underestimate the power of the ocean even in a gorgeous location.

@@kristinab1078 Those weren't tourists. Not sure why you insist on talking about tourists.

@@someguy5035 they are tourist

@@victoriaalveno363 No they aren't. They are locals.

Noble 6 totally agree

Noble 6 I'd take advice from a hyper lethal spartan any day

Were locals, we know what were doing when it comes to the Ocean lol

Kaulana Luke just the tourists i fear 4

Noble 6 Had an experience with a rip current on last years vacation. Just don't you ever go out if they put the red flag and the warning signs out. And honestly don't take a 100$ bet from your dad about swimming so far that you are behind the place where the waves are creating. Honestly. No good idea. SERIOUSLY. DON'T DO IT.

Exactly. The Kahalahala end (in the video) is great in the summer. Jumping off of those rocks is a blast. That area is completely protected by the lava flows, except the one channel off to the left, which these girls obviously are staying well away from.

Thanks for the information. I saw South Pacific when I was about eight in Sydney in about 1959 I think. It left an indelible mark on my little psyche. I ended up flying planes for a living in Papua New Guinea and marrying a brown woman and we have a lovely brown son :-) I occasionally view the movie these days too. Great music as well.

Thank you for the film to watch :)

⁠​⁠@@Fomites Wow, you’re the man I want to be! I’d love to go to PNG someday, specifically Bougainville. You sound like you have a real cool life.

looks like he just standing were the coming down at,he not moving with his legs in the sand

That’s not even close to what a rip tide is. That’s called a wave going back out to sea.

@@fridagylterud9491 nah dude, you’re thinking of an undertow. every wave has one!

@@fridagylterud9491 here’s a tip: don’t call people out on being ignorant when you are the one who is ignorant

@@fridagylterud9491 An undertow can occur along the entire beach face during times of large breaking waves, whereas rip currents are periodical at distinct locations. Riptides occur at inlets. Essentially they are created by the geology under the water and by tides.

How?

Blessed😀

I think they know the danger of rip tides, that's why they were swimming behind that rock, so they wouldn't be pulled to the sea by the waves

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess That’s not any better though. The strength those waves have can make them get smashed against the rocks.

These people don’t need luck sistah, they Hawaiians

@@hawaiian7760 Exactly. This is most definitely NOT a riptide - it’s a very large wave breaking on rocks. The two things aren’t even similar. Those people aren’t “lucky”, they know what the hell they’re doing. They’re playing in the waves AFTER they break on the rocks. Stop putting out bad information. - Hawaii Born, ‘67. And I’ve been to this very beach (actually Kahalahala) many, many times.

But if those gorgeous bikini clad babes need rescuing

XD

It’s fun tho

Unfortunately I'm not puzzled. The smart folks weren't there to begin with.

Tourists.

there is nothing to be puzzled about, the people who did not run out are stupid.

Nah they're fine

Honeybeehive You guys are deep

@John Days god is trash

Absolutely....all that water has to go somewhere.....and most people have no clue of what a riptide is.

my thoughts exactly

Kenzo Sulit fucking transformer

Hi Its Me Again Michael BAY

E

Kinda cringe

don't be such a square

@@Dewteamsucks One of those kids actually was swept to the sea and almost died, they had to send a rescue team, but yeah sure "square" for not letting her kids swim in massive waves near the rocks.

Nick Trembly oh please. Living on Kauai, I go to this beach all the time. It’s also called nurses beach (because they filmed a movie there) and tourist lumahi because of all the gosh damn tourists there. A major sand slope that’s really good to stand up on a boogie board and try to skimboard on and that rock that you can climb on. I’ve been there in the winter when the waves are on the north shore and it’s really big and dangerous. So stop being so naive and judging these people.

@@KateDenthimamai helicopter momma. yikes

If those were my children, they wouldn't be wearing thong swimsuits! They look a little young for that kind of thing.

that left my face wet from my tears of laughter

Geddit? How old are you, lady?

-_-

wow, you're unexpectedly here RVA

@@austins.2495 LMAOO

That's totally false. This happens all the time there when the surf is giant. Kauai gets some of the largest waves on the planet.

Rogue waves actually happen out in the sea

@@jasonbrody8957 Yeah but this isn't what is happening here.

@@bubbabigmin of course not, that would be devastating 😄

Thank you

The world is full of idiots, can't do much about it but enjoy the show.

Absolutely! Especially at Lumahai! WTF?

THANK YOU!!! I live on Kauai and have lived all my life in hanalei and used to go to that beach all the time. I just moved to the homesteads to be closer to my school but tourists really are bad at noticing the dangers of the ocean. Stay safe man! Much love from Kauai’s north shore people!

The only drownings I heard of while I was on Kauai were tourists. Sad and unnecessary. The locals know the currents and what beaches to avoid during certain times of the year. Lumaha'i is one of the most dangerous beaches on Kauai as it has particularly strong currents. Those waves were incredibly powerful and could knock someone off their feet and into open sea in an instant.

“Done” what?

@@nadogrl sorry, i should have specified. i mean standing at the beach and just letting the waves hit you, get thrown around, be a plaything of the ocean. if you're a confident swimmer with good stamina and the waves are not too big, it's good fun.

It’s humanity and the concept of a natural thrill.

Yeh with out that stupid confidence we wouldn't have created the world.

@Anthony Todd no, there's a difference between going for a swim in a place known to kill people for purely thrill and a confident, calculated risk in taking on a productive, if dangerous task or mission. They say discretion is the better part of Valor. I understand risks and danger, I'm a firefighter which has inherent risks but in any situation there's a judgement of risk versus reward and a mitigation of those risks. Swimming in a place that is made clear to be potentially fatal doesn't have a reward that justifies the risk, entering a burning structure is at minimum as risky but when the reward is potentially saving a life or at least valuable property the risk is justified. That's where the difference lies.

I don't understand why you would think that they could die from that, unless there were sharks in the waves

Alana I have had several family members and friends die in waves like that. The force and speed of the water as it rushes back to the ocean is overwhelming, and the sand is being swept away from under your feet like a rug.

Keke Lauren sorry about those who you know passed away. Om shaanti.

Don't let fear keep you from living....

@ajt222 you fuck off bitch

Synapse Education you saw other beaches

LFMAO

Damn bro 😰

Sucks that he disabled the comments they were hilarious 😂

I liked your comment on surfing

Guarantee they are locals to 😂 no fear of the ocean

@WaiMaixChan moana as in ocean

00

Lucy G we’ve grown up surrounded by water, i’m pretty sure we’re familiar with the ocean in which we know wether or not to swim in it

They’re locals, they know every inch of that beach and when and where they can go...

Locals don't know shit just cause they are locals.

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess true true true been a local all my life now every inch of the north shore and just moved to the east side for school gonna get to know the east side of Kauai for high school

Lighten up ffs

timsgta for real

I wrote the word "chic", you can always use Google translator, about the meaning will be clear. ))

can even the devil's words to write xD
