Breach!

Some kids build a dam on a beach in Carbis Bay, Cornwall ... it's just a matter of time until the dam burst :o)

[@StarfireRebirthCM]

The water doesn't give a dam.

[@relentlessmadman]

breach doesn't that mean born but first?

LOL I thought I was the only crazy person that likes to play dam busting in the beach :)

[@naturalz9865]

I like too lol

[@ghostt5623]

felcas me too

[@_tsiatsiaros.k]

Me to

[@hclazard1545]

I do to

[@elleynde]

now THAT'S what i call fun at the beach, a bit of sand a shovel, and kiddo engineer skill

[@cumbrianrailspotter6154]

elleynde hi

[@kiwigeofreak]

A physical geographer by undergrad who did heaps of this sort of thing as a kid - though not quite this impressive - this is quite fascinating. And a good practical lesson in avulsion starting to take place towards the end.

[@leeedsonetwo]

used to love doing this on a long beach and catching out sun bathing tourists

[@oceanceaser44]

Studying fluvial geomorphology at present and can't tell you how interesting this video is

[@aaronmackay6123]

i am guessing that fluvial geomorphology is something to do with liquifaction

[@oceanceaser44]

Fluvial=water, geomorph=shaping the earth. Its the study of how water shapes and creates landscapes, and yes liquefaction is an important concept used

The video was shot at St Ives, Cornwall in the UK. The beach has a freshwater stream running onto it, and builds up a large head of water ... I think it took about an hour to fill up behind this dam. Great fun :)

[@Sag3brush]

HOW?? seriously how did you build this? wouldn't the sand go away faster that you could build?

[@nitro9452]

Really cool

[@aaronmackay6123]

+Connor Ernsperger clearly that is not the case as they were able to build a damn.

[@StamfordBridge]

No, first he gave a damn, then he built a dam.

[@ahmahm2144]

StamfordBridge lol

[@LowerTheBoom]

ERODING not "corroding" lolololol

[@HokageCoolMoonlitDew]

the way the flow was cutting that corner away

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

Where was all the water coming from?

[@awesomo660]

Somewhere on earth

[@chrisbrasher2693]

+retiredusfsnps lmao

[@SuperTowlie420]

An overflown toilet

[@ThePainTrain765]

That thing held back ALOT of water, really impressive!

[@a.j.deutsch1792]

ThePainTrain765, there was a stream that flowed there

[@betterrobots]

this is the best disaster movie on youtube

[@TrevorSimko]

Are you kidding me? Not one kid trying to go down that on a boogie board? That's what I'd be doing. Probably swallowing a lot of sand and saltwater in the process.

[@jamesrivis620]

Trevor Simko Fresh water.

[@123TauruZ321]

mmmm... sand and salt water ... aaahggaahagahagagh

[@StevesProjects]

Good old fashioned beach fun, the sort of thing I used to be up to as a nipper. Good work!

[@robzrob]

Used to love doing this - at Long Rock.

[@someperson298]

i used to make a river leading right to a pile of sunbathers when i was a kid. Super fun to catch them by surprise! Other times I would make it so the water went in the middle of them, then they fell onto it

[@bigchiefnowashietribe9657]

What did you do on your vacation ??? I shoveled 10 tons of wet sand......ROFL

[@rileychifley9450]

At ym local after it glossed for awhile and has a danger of flooding house up stream we dig a trench to the ocean then break the dam wall its like one of. Those things that shoots water up and u can surf there in water parks and stuff

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Nice video and fun to watch. Take care now.

[@lilidesisto5385]

Would you get the same results if you had three tent tarps with a foot of water above it?

[@2001cavador]

My guess is that's fresh water coming down from the mountain!!

[@blueybushfly]

It would have been fun to sit downstream of the dam and get washed down

[@jeerosly2306]

i like this video and i can make a lego flooding video on here....

[@thaiikid]

where the water coming from when te beach is down there?

[@BUNCHofxs]

drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

[@wildturkey1960]

Man, that's a lot of buckets of water.

[@liamrayking]

Nice video guys!!!

[@max0540]

why don't u surf on it that would be so cool

[@brunokollman1883]

how long did it take to build all of this

[@lilidesisto5385]

Seriosly what beach is that

[@nutmeg9005]

They broke the dammed thing

[@OttO-ringface]

Coolest. Waterslide. Ever.

[@Ghost_of_Tintswalo]

That is a flood my freind

[@shockingly_meh]

I would've rode down it.

[@nicholasbennett4928]

1:15 my ice cream 😂😂😂

[@piao860]

where did all that waterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........... come from?? was the hold soooooooooo..... deep???

[@piao860]

hole*

[@Fakexpire]

+MC lover it just can't come from a hole it came from a big hole

[@schmiertoast7184]

0:35 thats what she said

[@Moonbee]

@thaiikid The water is from a small stream that ran down the beach. The kids built a dam and waited for about 2 hours for a huge head of water to build up. I reccon if us grownups got involved we may have washed away half the beach :D

[@CandyCat182]

Woa

[@Daniel2415]

Oh man, the ideal sand dam building spot! High banks and probably a large reservoir behind that! The "kids" probably could have kept it up longer, but they just got bored and wanted to see an awesome breach. ;-)

[@andrewthetraveler9431]

that was really cool

[@Jacob-on5zh]

I wanna surf in that

[@Engineer9736]

That's great. They should make water pumps along beaches to create artificial water streams, where people can build dams in :-)

[@desertrcaz]

Looks like fun.

[@aaronwilson9465]

This is impressive

[@HokageCoolMoonlitDew]

wow :0)

[@scoobydoo306]

Now luk at yuat

[@blumac9801]

BREACH THE BEACH

[@afnusa]

This is an incredibly awesome video; you can see how the water will change the river or stream and take a different course with a matter of seconds which equivalents to many years. Really neat to see how the river and/or stream can change course in real time.

[@ghostchasr68]

Man feet..lol

[@camilamsms1]

thats so awsome and i realy like it and i like watching dam breach videos i like it i realy love them its good :) ilike it

[@vincent7520]

Looks cold...

[@shaun1098]

This is so much fun to do! If you use rocks and pile sand around them like cement, that's becomes so much fun.

[@trulyinfamous]

Whenever I went to the beach as a little kid, I would always love to dig holes near the water and build a channel to the water. Heck, I'd still do it if I got the chance. That's one of the things that sucks about living so far away from a large body of water. I'd have to travel half the state to get to a reasonable body of water.

[@wieweshalb6999]

love it...

[@zunkman1]

Her feet are "slowly corroding away?" I guess they're made of steel or something. I noticed that the sand around her feet is ERODING away at the same time her feet are CORRODING away.

[@deanbun8822]

Oddly Satisfying , St Ives is a wonderful place.

[@nuclearcasserole]

I used to do that as a kid myself. Great fun, a fantastic way to spend a day at the beach.

[@seththeamazing2563]

Where did all the water come from?

[@bradyfarlow5708]

A stream, the water eventually piled up and they broke the dam

[@mariatoledo2845]

Wow!!!

[@jimtrotter2084]

toilet water is my guess.lol

[@VTFreestyle224]

Wow, that must of been one big dam

[@nathanielgauvin486]

I saw bird😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@stenovitz]

Sweet :-)

[@sevensixtwomm]

Cool 8)

[@victordanobeytia7460]

nice :)

[@johnnyzaccanie475]

nice

[@lbrappervela6215]

where is the water coming from?

[@CCcrafted]

My thought exactly! Initially I thought it may have been a tidal pool or something but the sand would have levelled off and degraded any form of reservoir, so really I can only think of one alternative; perhaps it was fed from some kind of rainwater run off? It looks quite hilly in the background so it might be plausible?

[@thinredline8939]

Eventually it will wash the beach area they are sitting at away. The sand washes easier than hardened clay. This will be nothing much of a big flat spot where the sand will go more out in the water. That's if it gets worse. But you would be able to walk farther out into the water, because the sand is making it level out more. If you get what I am saying.

[@CCcrafted]

+Noah's Ark yeah if the waves draw out the gradient to make it shallower (the island of jersey is a good example of this) although if the waves falling onto the beach are constructive waves then what ever actions done by this impromptu river will be undone if you get my drift?

[@thinredline8939]

+CCcrafted right... And I got it
