The worm always cracks me up 🪱😂
Hilarious
wave hog!! river hog!!oink oink..
Me too , but he'll have to re apply the sunscreen, that was the first time I saw him and the crew doing it in the river, kinda looked like nessy was going down it
What are the odds of finding some broken glass with your face in the sand?

This somehow's feels like Jamie trying to create an even bigger river wave that what Jackson did in Portugal 😂
It does feel like that 😂
Facts
☝️😂
Seems like JOB is scratching the bottom of the barrel
The “Sickos” channel deserves soooo much more exposure.
Everyone watching this video and reading this comment. Check Jackson’s crew “Sickos” on CZcams. Killer crew out of the Pacific Northwest putting out gnarly content with superb videography. High level stuff friends. Enjoy and stay psyched.
Riding down an open sewer on an ironing board while a lass on a duck tries to cream you. Life doesn’t get better than that :o)
Epic video...Jamie you would be a really great father...you're so cool with the kids.
I'm so amazed by how the waves can bring all that sand back up. Mind blowing to me.
Water is the strongest force of nature. Its crazy how awesome it is and how scary it is at the same time
@@hankhudson81. Well usually water erodes the beach away instead of pushing sand back uphill. I've lived on the beach my whole life and every couple years a barge has to pump sand back onto the beach. I've seen many sand bar breaks come and go in the process.
Found the guy who's never experienced the Waimea shore break ....
@@larrymanning5925 that’s called dredging and it super bad for the water and beaches bruh I lived on siesta key 20+ years and they messed up a few beaches
@@dustinlunsmann4599 And why do they dredge?
Love Jamie's gleeful laugh, it's so contagious! 💜
11:13 the kid in the background, the way he just goes with the collapsing bank 😂
8:03 he says he doesn't want to waste any of our times while literally wasting 8 minutes of our time on nothing
It's nice to see Jamie Being a good role model for the groms! I'm sure he's as nice to em off as on camera!!!
Yeah 😂
Drone footage was mental and really showcases the gnarliness of your surfing Jamie! What a vibe! 🤙💯🤙💯
Especially that lil bit of rock right where Jamie was dropping in.
Thank you for your positivity! Always brings a smile to my face
They used to do this along the gulf coast in FL when I was a kid. We'd bomb thru in canoes and kayaks, whatever was around. big rain and the tides gave us lots of chances to crush
New Caddy looks awesome! Love the color!!
Regularly Artificially breaching a river berm can have long term consequences on the river ecosystem, it species, river bank ecology and water quality
State did impact studies when they first stated doing this and stopped the flooding of surrounding forest.
Thanks for the wet blanket.
@@TBlanktim it will be back in a few months.

My comment was directed at smefour. I am well acquainted with Waimea Valley, River, Falls, and the Bay.
@@TBlanktim 👍
Jamie is the eternal grom. Never change dude.
Having a taxi out to the waves is incredible. Obviously you have it made... stay psyched
Stay jazzed Jamie
STAY JAZZED !
I'm super jazzed!
The legend is delivering another banger!
love to see the old man having more fun then all the kids!
When you're conscious of paid product placement in videos but still crave a red bull everytime you see him with a can in his hand. That shit works
I've never craved red bull
I love your vids man! Smiling ear to ear psyched
Super epic sesh!
This was Great! The most dangerous part was probably the bacteria count in the river and leaving your car unattended in the parking lot !
Thanks for mentioning the bacteria. Even if you were joking, it is an issue. The children would not understand the dangers of an amoeba entering their nasal passages but adults should be more aware.
Super low risk.
Only river breach I've ever see was when I was a kid, we spent a week at a family friend's beach house on the Oregon coast. Halfway through the week, there was a big rainstorm, and the creek next to the house started to flood the area by the road. At some point, it broke through the sand berm, and there was this little serpentine river running to the ocean. It's one of the few events from my childhood fun enough that I remember it clearly. We spent all day riding this shitty little Walmart raft to the ocean. There was sort of a steep drop, it was like Splash Mountain.
You're an inspiration to all kids in adult bodies. Keep it up!

stays looking young with all the sand facials. i gotta try it.
OMG little Kai Looney is so cute! Great video JOB. Really love how you connect with groms and keep the content fun and family friendly. Enjoy the weekend!

You’re a dope dude Jamie, never change!
Jamie, love it that you always have time for the kids and encourage them to enjoy life. Just love your vlogs they are so inspiring to make one just get up and go!!! stay psyched!
hey yo i mean it was tasety
That barrel at pinballs got me psyched yewww 🤙🤙🤙
I always love Hawaii and the volcanic beach scenery.
River content starts at 10:40
Which one of your Catch Surf models would you recommend for actual river surf? I live in Colorado and we have quite a few spots to river surf, I currently only have an inflatable but seeing more and more foamies and would like to rock of of yours🤙
I have no idea how I ended up here, I ran to the bathroom for 30 seconds, came back and this was playin. I was all "what the hell, youtube..where am I, who is this dude?" I was gettin ready to hit the back button but then...the worm happened...omg... I'm in tears, scaring my cats with the random laughter and apparently I'm in this for the long haul...
Wife and I were just at this exact beach in March and i wondered when they were going to breach this.....loved every minute of Oahu
Finally a video where it explains WHY these are dug.
Please provide the time stamp
@@illorbit2958I know this is an old comment but the explanation is at 5:20 valley is flooding from rainwater so the city digs the berm to release overflow.
Is that a Cadillac Blackwing? If so that car is absolutely epic, especially in that color. Glad to know that Jaime has great taste in cars too.
he's been driving cts-v's for as long as I've been watching him. think I've seen him in 3 different generations.
Don't know how the hell one can safely surf on top of all those rocks.
Love this kind of vlog content
Yes Jamie. Another great video, so psyched when I see your videos pop up. Aloha to you and Tina
I use to watch videos of you Jamie when I was in high school in Florida, and now Iv lived in Hawaii for 4 years and that is my wife’s favorite beach. But I completely forgot Jamie goes there also 🤦♂️
Contact him...
2:29 that laugh killed me 😂😂😂
Brah, Jamie the caterpillar next to the Cat at 7min deep was EPIC!!! LOL 🤙🏾
Jamie is the KING of river beaches PERIOD! I met him in O'LonaHonaWonaHoluhaa in 1927. He was ripping on the 1x4 fencepost makeshift surfboard he invented. He was 26 at the time. We thought he was the coolest thing. He got bored and started playing in the sand and wanted to make a little channel from the Aloo'ahanoo stream to the great Pacific Ocean and before you know it, it ended up being the Wailuku River some years later. Cool guy.
Jamie is so cool to the groms. Have to keep that surfing culture going. Give them kids someone to look up to. Jamie lives right
You know you’re the man when the lifeguard drops you off out at pinballs for content while the river opens up.
Just so wholesome, it’s inspirational
The golden brown river connecting with the crystal blue ocean is absolutely magical!
I love how the title says "dangerous river breach" and Jamie is just like, "I can probably surf that."
You still really are pushing some of the best content out there still! Keeping it Og !!! Chowww!! Had a trip booked out there than I broke my foot 😫. Almost healed don’t know if I’ll ever make it out there 😫
Love watching your videos!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!
So jazzed right now!
PSYCHING!!! 💯
By connecting the river to the ocean, how will that effect the fish in the river?
I think it’s good for the river to make it flow into the ocean
Pretty sure this is a river that normally flows to the ocean, and was just blocked by a sandbar which naturally breaks on its own. Seen videos on it before. Edit: yeah, this is the river. Folks freak out but again, it’s not an issue. The town does this.
@@ericjx pretty sure u talking crap and dont know what youre saying....looks cool but he should be charged dont think he has the authority to divert river water into the ocean like that...
@@timmyjeff2204 It was done by the fire department.
This is a river where the natural cycle blocks it and then it overflows later. Humans have built houses near the river so now the natural cycle is too destructive to property. This is literaly the primary reason dams are built but in reverse.
Rivers naturally run into the ocean, so opening it up to the ocean is not destroying ecosystems or anything its just accelerating a natural process for local convenience of maintaining the water level.
Anyone should have the authority to do anything unless someone can prove that restricting a freedom helps more people than the restriction harms. So unless you got actual proof that this is harmful to people you can't even claim the moral high ground as you have tried to do.
No fish near the ocean. They are about a mile inland. They have done this since I was a kid back in the 60s to relieve the flooded areas upstream. The beach sand builds up when the river is low and stops the flow.
“I’m in for murder,and you?”
“You know how there’s a north and South America? Yeah I did that.”
Jamie addressed the Cadillac situation exactly how I hoped lmao
Pinball looked fun and nice barrel Jamie! Love the Waimea River surfing. Love the vlog. Waaaay Psyched!!!
Should be arrested for destroying river ecosystems
It was flooding neighborhoods so the state HAD to do it
Brings back lots of fun memories!
Kalani is such a legend man! Salute from Jersey
Not being a hater or anything because I love this shit. Its extreme and unique for a hobby and sport. And I've been watching this stuff for a couple of years now. And it just all of the sudden just occurred to me ask, how is this legal to do on a regular basis? And what about the affects on habitat and wildlife? I don't see the nature lovers "Hippies and tree huggers" freaking out about this as they usually do about these things. Whats the actual impact?
That’s what I was thinking. The river doesn’t naturally flow to the ocean right there. I imagine it’s completely stopped downstream.
I'm assuming they are controlling the water level to prevent flooding of homes/forest, the waves will naturally bring the sand back in and rebuild the beach so it's probably just a maintenance thing, and they don't dig it out enough to completely drain the entire river dry
Red Bull is really bad for your health
Yea is is but he is sponsored by it sooo
@@Hang_up_buttondang 1hr ago?
He is a surfer and relatively athletic.
☝️🤓
White monster energy is better
I'm at the 7 min mark and I can already tell this thing is gonna be MASSIVE. Stoked to have run across your vid. You have an absolute toy box at the house.
He surfed so hard he became dangerous to fish globally 😂
Jamie is such a big kid. Great video.
Does this cause erosion problems? It’s always cool to watch!
ye reap what ye sew.... the river went somewhere else, now it does not. personality and rivers are like conjoined twins. when one dies, the other....
... collects the shit and debris, turns yellow and festering...then becomes compost....
thus the cycle continues....
buy red-bull, that is the important message...
@@evolutionCEO the state did this to control what is going to happen naturally anyways when the river crest over the sand naturally but in a safe manner, the beach rebuilds the sand dam and one day this will happen all over again.
@@evolutionCEO There was no other river outlet. This was a tide-berm. It will be carried back up by the waves in a matter of day, and the river will collect behind it all over again.
@@grimfpv292 a wet land habitat destroyed for the purposes of plugging fizzy pop. lets face it, the water level in the berm will take until the first properly high, high tide to re-establish to the level it was at.
has it destroyed anything? i couldn't tell you.
has it sold any fizzy pop? not to me.
did anyone film or make record of the berm and what lived there??? not that i have seen.
they just pulled the plug.
@@evolutionCEO Plug gets pulled ever so often whether humans are there or not.
(In fact, the bigger it gets, the harder it washes out. If there is any real damage, it would likely get worse if left to nature.)
Congrats on that ocean blue Caddy !
STAY JAZZED!! 👌🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Howed it last long enough to get that big?
I thought the surfers dug it out pretty quick for the river wave
Potato-brains in the comments. The _State of Hawaii_ are the people digging the trench; not the person filming. The people filming are taking advantage of the breach. The breach is being made _by the State_ because the river is flooding and about to hit homes. This is natural and the river would have breach on its own anyways, but would have caused mass property damage before then. Seasonal differences in tidal forces cause sand-bar build up, closing off slew rivers and cause flooding; this happens all the time, every year, all over the _entire world._ Not to mention every river already runs into the ocean. No ecosystems were destroyed. Stop huffing paint, crying about humans and nature, and learn how nature actual functions instead.
This needs to be pinned people don't realize how often it rains in Hawaii and how much damage this could cause if left unchecked.
You’re expecting people to use common sense you should know better than that happening
👍
I absolutely love seeing machinery tame nature. Like when we flatten beach dunes and build property. We are conquering nature and bending it to our will. There’s just poetic Justice to that when you consider how destructive and violent Mother Nature can be.
I love the older guys at 11:40 helping the kid out of the water
From an écological point of view, isn’t it bad for the freshwater fishes and animals that lives in the river?
Calling this a river breech is inaccurate, what they are doing is draining flood water from a ground depression. There shouldn't be many if any fish.
Yeah but it’s not only fish is to be taken into consideration it’s more of an ecosystem as a whole. I would hope they didn’t just take this into their own hands with no ecological analysis done of the site.
If this is anything similar to what happens in California then it would have happened naturally eventually anyway.
@@christianoronaldo4409 This has been done for decades at this beach. It relieves the flooded water inland.
Big time
Are they taking advantage of an excavation or excavating to create a place to enjoy? Just curious. Either way looks like fun

Neat stuff
Water looks an amazing blue. So clear
The legendary Waimea Bay. I miss living in Oahu. Especially visiting the country sides.
Does the freshwater dumping harm the ocean life near the beach and rocks?
freshwater rivers run to the ocean all over the world. almost every river ends at the ocean at some point
what a dumb question lmao
Yes. Every time rain hits the ocean the sea life dies.
Yes, it lowers the salt level in the oceans and kills the rocks and sand
@@derekstacy6122 that’s obv not what I was asking. I don’t live near the ocean, so it just seemed to me that THAT much fresh water at ONCE being let into the beach area, that DOES NOT usually have freshwater outlets, COULD maybe have an immediate effect on the sea life that isn’t used to freshwater dumping in large quantities.
Hey Jamie, you think you can tell me where some good riverwaves in SoCAL? I'm trying to start river surfing.
Salt creek Laguna
Check online for local whitewater kayak clubs. They will know where all the good park and play spots are, and when the levels are good.
2:30 Jamie we need a compilation video of just you laughing.
When I was a kid in the 70s and Waimea was a regular place to go, it was just a bunch of people with shovels - digging the channel was part of the fun! Also, my first experience surfing was at Waimea, with a little 1-2 foot break happening on that little temporary sand bar the emptying of the river left. Good times!
I remember 1975
i remember kauai in 1978. they(old people) had to come in the water and drag me out, every day! i was NEVER done playin.
This video is good for 3 year olds
How long do most of the river breaks last?
ABOUT A HOUR OR LESS
@@JamieOBrienJOB thanks for the response. Keep up the sick videos. Looking forward to next weeks already!
That looks like so much fun.
Erosion is one of the most interesting things to me. Like gravity or the wind.... just so fucking powerful yet.. so cool. I mean, give that enough time it would get rid of that entire beach and wash it away.
Jaime, next time I go to Oahu this year, I would gladly pay you well for some fun surfing lessons if you got the time of course!!! Loved North Shore!!
How did you not get in trouble for this? Hawaii has very strict environmental laws. This surely can't be good for the nearby reefs.....
its a natural thing that happens with the river. the digger was just making it happen a little sooner than usual
This is done every year to allow the river to drain. If they didn't do it with the tractor, it would keep getting higher and higher until it opened on it's own. But then it would flood people's yards, as well as getting stagnant, and allow leptospirosis to get established. It's much better, heathier and safer this way.
You do know rivers run to the sea don't you lol
this was a secret before. some kids would even hand dig it to get waimea river going. the excavator is paid for by hawaii. waimea waterfalls is the source of the water and it rains almost every day in Hi so occasional dump is good.
Also, fresh water rivers ALL go into the ocean eventually.
What are the ecological consequences from this?
I feel like the surrounding region just lost a massive amount of freshwater. That must do something to the ecosystem and people's water supply, right?
That's what I was wondering..... It's awesome though
its just a lake from rain water in that part, water from rain... calm down people :)
Awesome. Imagine being this good at something...
What do you mean? I guess to you it would be imagine not being good at anything. Suks for you pal🤷
Big fan love the vlogs keep up the good work
Such a great channel, Jamie is engaging and funny, also I love the way u guys don’t promote partying on the channel, it’s all about the surf and the natural high : )
Hey Jamie! How long does it take the sand bank to build back up ?
pretty sure they do it every year so up until then that sand builds up over time because of all the sand being carried by the river current to that spot.
I think he does it about once a month
Every year the river need to be breached pending on the rain fall for the year. Usually around the same time needs to be breached, like he said the government breached it because of safety issues for homes in the valley but if not beach goers will breach it so they can have a fun for a few hours
Straight epic. That thumbnail is badass.
Punk rock paired with high energy novelty shreds... Epic!
Mahalo
Get ready for red tide.
Fauchi just arrested on tv
You got my neck so bad🤦🏼♂️😂
What happened?
Such a w video
Jamie! So stoked
I
Got to meet u a while ago while in Oahu which was so sick! Slip n slide vids are gonna be so sickkkk
Fifteen minutes of nothing but self-promotion and bullshat.
Yeah Jamie amazing video as always
Be careful though. That river water looks like it's been stagnant for quite a while. And Hawaii does have an issue with flesh eating bacteria...
when I was living in Honolulu. They had issues of that, when the Ala Wai Canal would overflow in Ala Moana Beach after massive storms, or sewer line breaks. A few people died from flesh eating bacteria after not heeding the brown water advisory.
Not sure why these dropped out of my yt feed but happy to see them back!
I love that people are just connecting rivers to the sea all over the world after that one single video came out
