Thank you! Nobody there will ever forget that. Incredible photography and editing help explain with depth what's going down and how crazy it is. A beautiful piece of art at times.

The water at 10:00 is really cool! Biggest river break I've ever seen! Awesome!

[@GlennLaguna]

10:38 that was for sure the most gnarly river mouth ride I have see anyone do

[@Ghostdog4]

I'm stunned you are allowed to do this. Anything that Awesome is always stopped by the adults. Much respect! One of the coolest things I have ever seen

[@laurayoung8001]

They are adults!!!

[@foundry_media]

It's illegal, no? for the views right?

[@laurayoung8001]

@foundry_media I don't know if it's illegal but it looks fun!!!

[@fty-ys4ni]

In California something like this would be frowned upon because of the toxicity and pollution of a lot of the creeks/rivers that lead to the ocean. Especially in more populated areas like Southern California. But here it’s not a big deal. With how often it rains in Hawaii and with Waimea Bay being a major outlet for the islands water runoff, something like this would happen on its own without human intervention. And with the large surf swells that cycle here throughout the year, the beach is naturally rebuilt and kept in sync

[@rahulmaron]

it's usually the cause of beach pollution that makes it not suitable for swimming. Who knows what bacteria those flood are spreading.

[@mikegillard1479]

So rad , quick story, in 1983 me kalohe Bloomfield, Jason majors and Erin graberick did exactly that and almost died!! We dug it out with 10 foot shore break and a flash flood river like that. Much respect and luv your show🤙🏽💪

[@michaelmcgraw4888]

I’ve watched them do this at least 10 times and this was by far the craziest!!!

[@TheReefdog]

Glad you survived 🤙 That was HEAVY!🌊

[@Warcraze13]

I just got back from Hawaii. It was so neat to see this place in person, unfortunately the river was low that day. The water was beautiful though and I will never forget this magical place.

[@AlohaLowah]

One of the greatest things I ever saw while living on island was the river break through, watching every on dig and surf it, but this was the craziest one I've ever seen!

[@twidmer]

New in the last few years of surfing, but longtime kayaker. Need a life vest or at least a big rescue rig. Flush drowning and huge recirculating hydraulics can definitely ruin the day. Glad no one drowned. Super entertaining though and that wave jaime go on that skim board was epic.

My wife and stepdaughter did this one day back in 1992 before it was even a thing. Of course we got to do the slow mild version that doesn't have anything to do with a big rain. This one was tidal. So much fun though. Fun to watch you guys too. Stay safe.
