Surfers dig a channel thru the sand, releasing the Waimea river water trapped behind the beach. They surf the resulting standing waves for several hours.
This is the real deal in Standing Wave Surfing.. Only in the North Shore of O'ahu when they remove the sand to let the Waimea river empty out to the ocean.. Unlike those water park versions this one you gotta evade the other surfers/body boarders. Thanks for the upload.
This is actually a stationary wave. The wave form stays in one place. In a standing wave, the surface goes up and down at the crest/peak position and stays the same at the nodes.
Awesome, I remember seeing this happen in 94 and I think it became illegal after that to artificially open the river ???? Can't stop kids having fun though. Wish I was out there with ya's.
whats with all the hating on kayaks and bodyboarders? I'm a surfer, and sure, we all get annoying everynow again, but surfing, kayaking and bodyboarding is all about the elements and nature, dont go arguing about it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!ilario surf de varias maneiras..........mas sempre com o respeito a natureza....porqua sem sla nada disso seria possivel...surf ao extremo do prazer........uhu............
I grew up in this town. The river only does this occasionally. I wish it was all the time. Still a lot of fun when it does. And yes the water from the river is pretty dirty but some times you have to risk a little staff for a good time.
@yamflak thank you for refreshing my primary school science lessons man. However you cannot deny the fact that this afternoon of fun absolutely ruined the beach, and that the process of evaporation will not compensate the amount of lost fresh water before a long time.
@Taino656 no when the water level gets high all u gotta to is make a like foot wide little path then the water builds like a 30 foot wide one on its own ahhaa but this wave only lasts like 2 hours or so
that 1st guy looked like ''larry bertleman'' ...my all time fave surfer from the 80's
that guy was a freak!
paradise i have found :) and the second tune is godly >>> peace to all txs uploader

This Is SOLID!
i like it.
who decides who goes in next?
lol, thats tight, never seen aything like that, i wonder what time of year that is
I feel a SUP river surf session comin on!
I want to try that, look amazingly fun Waimea Bay HI
thats pretty cool. i didnt know waimea did that. never got to see that when i lived there. does this happen right after heavy rain or something?
@ecollins92 the river has to be a certain height and you have to actually dig a channel from the river to the ocean for it to form
It is Hawaiian truly!
River
but a level -- it is high.
It is wonderful ability wholly.
do they have to shape ramps to form the waves or do they just form themselves??
is it like this all the time or do you need certain conditions
omg u know iam liveing in NZ in north shoer but i didn't know this place iam in NZ for studying ,, thank u bro ,, i will be go there in the summer
como mola!
i wish i had that when i first started surfing --almost the same consistent face....damn that looks like a blast when its flat.
super cool.
what the crap? that looks frickin legit
ho brah i miss being there when they release it! always off at school now when they do
yep, its on the north shore near pipeline and sunset...
I see that often at a river near-ish me, maybe to surf it would be fun!
Muito radical !
This is beastly where is this?
this is crazy lookin its like a fast flowing river into da ocean?
do you need to go at a certain time of the year or is it like that all year (
im going to looks sick)
songs are collie buddz - come around, and mims - this is why im hot, sick video!
@Taino656 don't need to, u just have to dig a small one to start it up then the rushing water will do the rest
@yamflak thank you for refreshing my primary school science lessons man. However you cannot deny the fact that this afternoon of fun absolutely ruined the beach, and that the process of evaporation will not compensate the amount of lost fresh water before a long time.
That is perfect for skimboarding
What do they do after they are done and the waves are good again?
@Gabereal3 this is only opened up once a year, every winter. All other 364 days out of the year the ocean is seperated from the river by sand.
do you have fins cause wouldnt they dig into the sand and you would stop..... right.....
Aonde se Localiza esse lugar queria conhecer muito.
wow thats cool wheres the water come from? is it river?
yeah i wonder how if its all the time cuz it must recarve its path often and make diff sets all the time.
does it also work with a normal and cheap skimboard???
iradoo de mais !
thats really cool
@Taino656 no when the water level gets high all u gotta to is make a like foot wide little path then the water builds like a 30 foot wide one on its own ahhaa but this wave only lasts like 2 hours or so
is that buttons at the end with the fro
How long to make this it would be so fun
how does it flow in form of waves??? use sand to do that?
da onde vc tiraram a agua?
Necesitamos algo así por aca...
awesome wave..!! where is it?
