  • CaboVacationGet.... At the Queen's Bath, they call it "shoot the ball", but these crazy kids took it to a higher level. I don't think they were expecting to get swept out to sea in Kauai.

    These boys are very good swimmers. I can tell as when the ocean pulls them out they don’t panic and try to hopelessly swim against sea but they wait and swim when not being pulled

      Well, duh...but strong swimmers die doing stupid stuff like this on a fairly regular basis, (basically because they're overconfident and don't sufficiently respect the variables of how dangerous what they're doing is) so that's not really making what they're doing any less unsafe or intelligent.

    This is a perfect illustration of a rip tide, but above water level.
    The waves crash over the rocks, but since the water can't go up and back over the rock, it flows back out to sea, creating a strong current.
    This happens on most beaches where there are sand bars hidden beneath the water.

    People get a grip. If we never did anything "dangerous", we will have survived life, but not lived it. That doesn't mean do something with no thought or ability to do it, but if you have both and feel confident in both, go for it... The "third kid" by the way is my son, and this was years ago when they were teens. They had all been surfing big (20'+) waves for years, and were used to long hold downs. For them this was a mild play in the pond day. On a much bigger day they couldn't get back in, but even then just floated around the corner and swam in at Hanalei. Should someone who didn't have this kind of water experience be out there? Of course not, duh. But these three are all alive and well - intelligent and healthy - my son, now a paramedic just got back from big wave surf sesh in Oregon, another is a pro surfer, and the other is a fire fighter. Don't judge a situation by your comfort/ability level...

It's not about swimming capabilities im sure they knew that they could get dragged out, it's the unpredictable waves that come in and out and the rocks. Be at the wrong place at the wrong time and you could get beat up really badly. I bet your son wouldn't swim pretty well unconscious.

      +Johnny Rodriquez By your argument getting into a car is just dumb. People know what they are doing and there is that factor of someone causing an accident at no fault of your own much like a rogue wave could cause someone to lose their life, or a sky diver losing theirs, or a pedestrian crossing the street for that matter. People have died just sitting in their classrooms, were they dumb? Check the statistics and find out how many people died in the area and you will find per capita, more people die from going to school than has ever died there. Who are you to judge peoples choices? No matter what you do in life you can be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Your rationale and judgment of others is just plain old dumb. We all take chances in life from the moment we wake up. You can take chances being prepared for the worst and accepting it or the more stupid thing which is taking chances without being prepared. Unless you're familiar with their skills and the area you have no right to judge others much more calling them names.

    These kids may have been locals, may have been totally in control, knew what they were doing, etc, HOWEVER this a situation full of unpredictable variables. For example, a rogue wave here could smash them against those rocks. These kids weren't beyond their limits from a swimming standpoint, but there's not a whole lot of room for error in this situation. They clearly thought it was worth the risk, but it's not something I would do (or recommend anyone else do). A rogue wave, a muscle cramp, seizure, etc could turn this situation into a tragedy pretty quick.

      jory leach. Except all those things you mentioned are not inherently dangerous, it's just bad luck on a normal every day situation.
      These kids jump on to a situation that is dangerous even for pro swimmers, these kind of actions are the same with kids who climb/parkour on high rise buildings without safety gears. One mistake and it could cost them their life and there have been deaths because of this kind of idiotic actions.
      Your argument is totally pointless.

      @@Impenneteri lol. Where are you from? Isn't there a "thing" kids do where you grew up that's really only done by local kids? We're from Hawaii, were born to the water, our mom's and dad's have us in the ocean before we can walk. We're spiritually connected to it. We know what to look for, how the set changes, the tide changes, the ebb and flow. We can feel it. We're taught timing and precise movement to flow with the water. The first rule we're taught about the ocean is 1. Watch first, read the sea, listen to the water 2. Never turn your back to the waves 3. Relax, cause panic will kill you. Historically mainly tourists die at the most "dangerous" locations cause they don't know or don't want to follow the rules. Like standing over a blow hole, and then getting sucked in and drowning. We will never do stupid shit like that cause you can't unstuck yourself from an undewater cave. These kids aren't stupid. I'm sure there are days when even those kids wouldn't just jump in and chance it. But im 100 percent positive that these boys know exactly what they're doing.
      And FYI everyFUCKINGthing is inherently dangerous. Driving is dangerous, eating is dangerous, taking a shit is dangerous. YOU need to live more. Or stay in your bubble, I'm sure it's cozy in that hole. 🤷 Aloha, Mahalo Ke Akua

    About ten years ago I hopped into this Pool of Death with two of my sons. I had never noticed it before... The waves were coming fiercely over the outer wall and the water level was moving way up and way down at dangerous rates. We watched three hawaiian locals diving into the waves, and one was a gal, so being the genius that I am, I figured that I could do it too. Jumping in and following the locals I was quickly out and safe. Safe now to watch the Big Show. My two boys trying to get out. Reaching the outer wall and quickly grasping with all their might and then not being able to cling on as the next ferocious wave rushed over the outer wall. Watching them fall backwards into the next emptying of the pool of water. I didn't want to get in, but I knew I might have to. The white water action was crazy. Finally the waves let up a little and the boys were safely out. The whole thing probably was over within five minutes. I later learned that one of them swallowed a bit of saltwater while in the center of the storm. Haven't done it again, but it is something we will never forget.

    this is very similar to something we have on o'ahu called "witches brew", down in kaneohe bay. the police recruits have to do a section of their fitness test there-or at least they had to back in the day (my dad graduated academy in may of 1982). all recruits had to line up and jump off one by one, then swim and wait for the tide to take them back up on the rocks. my dad once told me the reason they do this is because it's not only to test your physicality, but it's to make sure you don't panic if or when shit goes south. it's both a physical and mental test-you can have the strongest swimmer out there, but the minute he panics, he can go under just like /that/.

    Here is what happen to us about 15 years ago. My kids born here on east Maui could swim before walk. So when we went to Kauai my daughter Lena brought her friend Olivia and we went to Queens Bath. Of course we know all about respect the ocean and wait to check things out. After about 5>8 minutes the kids (12 years ) young went in. BOOM big surf/ wave went over the whole pool trying to such them out after. Big luck they could swim so good, other wise they would bang the rocks and outside> Pretty bad for sure. Hugs and all. we see some cloth on the other side of the pool, ask some people about it/ somebody went in before and that where his cloth/ dude dead. Left wallet/ phone and stuff/ cops got them right their. >>WE split and went for ice=cream> Lucky day for us. Very dangerous/ big pilekia!

    Is the reason why the swimmers are getting pulled out to sea is a rip currrent?

    • @tanneredwards9850
      @tanneredwards9850 5 років тому +1

      technically it is because the rock formations force water to recede through such a narrow opening. Generally a rip tide is caused by sand bars on a beach where the surge water can recede more easily back into the ocean and only usually go for at most a hundred meters or so. It's likely with the rock formations the rip current wouldn't take one very far out since the current would dissipate as soon as it passed the mouth of the rocks which is why the kids were able to swim through it to the edge where they could get out.

I flew the drone over there yesterday and wow that entire area is getting blasted with waves. Even where the camera guy is standing is getting over taken with water. The locals have said don't even try to go down there this time of year, and I will listen after seeing it first hand with the drone!

I'm sure most victims are tourists, but to think anyone is smarter than mother nature is just asking for trouble. Where I live we have riptides and undertows, locals and tourists drown all the time.

    I stood at this very place a week ago and watched the waves come and go, considering if this was a fun yet risky venture.
    This is NOT Queens Bath. QB is 30 yards further along the walk. But this is insane and these kids are lucky to be alive. I grew up in SoCal in the waves and in life guard school, sitting in the chair my final year. I've rock dived in Santa Cruz "reading the swells" and after studying this dangerous place, it's clear that this not something to do if you want to live more than 15 mins more.
    If you go to Princeville and walk down to Queens Bath, walk past THIS place to the more tranquil QB. Maybe stop to watch the turtles in the swells, but do not jump in like these stupid kids.
    If anyone thinks they know swells and currents and thinks this is the place to do this, then you are a fake and haven't been to this spot.

    Definitely not something an inexperienced swimmer should ever do. These kids have probably been in the ocean their entire lives and can hold their breath for at least 3 minutes-and it’s STILL very dangerous for them to be doing.
