Love the video, pleaceful.

[@andreimanuilov2237]

This is just amazing as hell. It's chill to watch.

This is an awesome video! The near-ground shots in the first parts resemble those water-flow laboratory experiments and perfectly demonstrate how gorges form! I always thought simple top-to-bottom erosion by rapid, high-volume water flow gradually carved out vertical gorges (typical of many KZN and E. Cape rivers) from static bedrock. This video shows that, as the gorge is formed and gets deeper, the water flow undermines the banks, causing load-bearing structural failure that results in a sudden, vertical landslide. Beautiful!! Thank you.

There we go excellent excellent excellent

[@EricMcConnaughey]

Reminds me of the footage, maybe at this same place, several years back. The guy's name is Wayne Easton, I think. Just look up Black Rock River breach.

[@KohlerSAStudios]

Yes and funny you said that because when I was walking on the beach in Scottburgh I watched that exact video the night before. Since it rained heavily I thought of shooting it again with 4k iPhone footage with better camera angles

[@kezza9075]

So cool

[@desmondphillip9932]

Enjoyed this footage. Awesome.

[@KohlerSAStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@erickleven1712]

Hope you ended up on the right side of that, didn't have to take the long way home.

[@KohlerSAStudios]

I did thank goodness

[@perrymaskell3508]

As a child, we went to a beach on the other side of Durban from here - Umdloti. My dad even helped the guy open up the waterway from the Mdloti river. We got stuck on the wrong side and had to take the long way around. Met up with some locals after crossing the road bridge over the river, who showed us a shortcut through the bush next to the estuary. Else it would have been a very long way.

Loved the video, so relaxing.

[@perrymaskell3508]

I could feel the sand and smell the water.

average KZN river moment, atleast it isn't the Umgeni River

Amazing 🤩

Thanks 🤗

I and everyone else who watched this video are on the spectrum. Only us Aspies would find this interesting enough to watch all 6 minutes.

[@petersp63]

suspicious you happened to be there when it started!

[@KohlerSAStudios]

There was a heavy rain storm the night before and when I got there it was already going out. If you notice the sand trench was already there at the beginning of the video but the high tide kept preventing the river from going out , as the high tide calmed down the river started going out. It’s very normal by the KwaZulu-Natal coast in South Africa

Heck, I woud have carved a small channel to start it too!

Bro your just wasting water at this point

[@KohlerSAStudios]

It’s a lagoon which connects to the sea but unlike other lagoons this one is separated with a natural sandbar from the ocean tides. When the lagoon gets full because of excess rain water it breaks open into the sea. You can’t drink this water it’s full of salt. The marine life in the lagoon venture out into the ocean where they can grow fully while the smaller fish stay in the lagoon. As the lagoon slowly empties the birds like the Kingfisher and Herons come and feed on the mullet fish as it is easier to catch fish when the lagoon is shallow. The ocean tide slowly pushes sand back up onto the sand bar and it closes again. When the lagoon opens it takes about a month or two to close and about a year to full up with water again until it breaks open again. I have been going to this destination all my life it’s a natural cycle of life.

[@A.tin.can1]

Natural water in the open cant be wasted?
