Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."


Born Burnt

North Shore Oahu is nothing to fuck with in the winter. Tourists come and assume that because the waves aren't breaking up to the shore that they are safe to drip their toes in and skip across the sand. Then a set rolls in, water covers nearly all the beach in sight, and out they go. 

Understand that the rock in the foreground of this photo of Waimea Bay in summertime is regularly UNDERWATER in the heavy winter surf. Gives you some idea of why you shouldn't be fucking around near the water in the wintertime on the North Shore. The video of that rescue wasn't  at Waimea, and I don't know why there were no lifeguards there, but the principle applies for wintertime North Shore Oahu: if the sand is wet, you're in danger.
