  • CaboVacationGetaway.com. 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.

    This is child’s play. When I was in Hawaii I not only did this, but I jumped in a volcano and swam around in the lava. I waited for an eruption that blasted me out of the volcano. Then using just the power of positive thinking was able to fly 12 miles and safely land.

    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

    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.

      i think it was because he followed his 2 friends when he they jumped (peer pressure) the second time around. he probably thought on the basis of his peripheral vision that they did jump again when actually they did not, but was instead actually pushed by the waves.

    When I have been in Hawai'i, I have been struck by how many locals told me about drownings on the islands and it was mostly very strong swimmers. They were over-confident. Hell, I am a strong swimmer, scuba diver and sailor and I almost died on the North Shore of Oahu when I was boogie boarding on the second break and didn't pay attention for a moment. I lost my board, got held underwater amongst coral heads and got short of breath. There was a cross current that started sweeping me out to sea and shit got real. Luckily I hadn't lost my fins and I was able to angle myself out, but honestly it scared the ever-loving shit out of me.

    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.

      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.

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

    I’ve visited Kauai dozens of times starting back when I was 3 years old, and I’ve jumped in this very spot on multiple occasions. Certain times of year, this spot is not safe to swim in (fall and winter mostly), but it’s more than safe to jump here in the summer months, as long as you are a solid swimmer and won’t panic with strong currents. All it takes is a bit of discernment and you’ll be fine.

    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.

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.

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.

They said more tourist drown here because they just don't know the waters. I get the concern and local or not you can't predict nature. Then again if you've never tested danger you've never lived.
    Just know your limits and stay in your lane.

      Big wave surfer here, and yes, I did not think for a moment that they were in any real danger. The fact that it was so tranquil between sets when they first jumped in and knowing that the longest set isn't gonna have more than 10 waves, usually 5 max, they were easily in a position to ride it out. Besides, they could clearly swim well enough for the conditions.

    • @dingaling2007

      @tanneredwards9850 Před 5 lety

      yeah, for the most part they timed the surges and didn't fight too hard against the current, but waited until the surge was in their favor to swim towards the edge. It's still risky of course, but it looked like they stayed calm and timed things right.

    Some people are risk takers, some not - or the risk you take isnʻt the same another will choose. Just as long as one involves only themselves ... hey!! go for it. I love swimming in the ocean. Kailua Beach is good - gentle current, soft waves ... but I still have a deep respect for it. One day I ended up tip-toeing around man-of-war on the beach. Another I dove UNDER a wave at Sandy!! I wasnʻt looking for adventure, living life provides enough. And I have other recreational activities I enjoy.
    Iʻm with Kuku Loke ... With your kids - know their capabilities. Of course, freakish things can happen. Nobody wants bad things to occur, but being paranoid isnʻt the answer. I wouldnʻt want my son surfing 20ʻʻ+ waves, or swimming in Queenʻs Bath - - heʻs never been a strong swimmer but if he wants to go gliding at Dillingham Field with me Iʻm ok.

    Seems like the best way out is just to tread water as best you can until it calms down and then get out because you're not gonna overpower that current and it's changing directions pretty rapidly as the waves bounce. Looks pretty sketchy though.

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!

    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/.

    These two guys who reached to come out of the water realised how dangerous it is to swim in a braving sea, you get exhausted in minutes and you may don't advance a single meter. Even so, once they're out the don't try to help the third one, who is still swimming for his life and probably absolutely tired. He just points him out how to get out, but doesn't even seem to be worry.
    Maybe because someone was recording and they wanted to act like nothings happened. :-S
