Girl gets swept by massive waves (Queen's bath, Kauai)

- Fast forward to 0:35 to see the person. Anybody from Kauai know who this is?
Some background on this video was that the girl had intentionally went in the water to get hit by the waves. Apparently it's what the locals do, and that's when I started recording. All the waves were massive, and tourists were in shock and already telling her to get out, but she was just laughing playfully with her younger brothers (who were in the water earlier too) with her mom present. The last three waves were bigger than what she had even expected however.
There was a big crowd of tourists, right where she was at. At 1:08 mark, you can faintly hear people yell "get out of there!" again in the background. The tourists were panicking but the mom didn't seem too shaken by it.
When these waves are calm, even a person who can't swim very well (which is me) can jump in. It's like you're swimming in an aquarium with all the sea life below you. The girl in here was a local to Kauai.

No matter how smart she was in handling the situation, exhaustion could have killed her.
That's a local girl who knew exactly what she was doing. Not some tourist that got swept into the water.

@@hytak18 It does matter for now )))
@@nict5828 100% ahahah
@@hytak18 no shit Sherlock, and yes, it does matter. Being a local, you have a set of skills and awareness you learn from the ocean, if she was a tourist she would not know how to conserve her energy and control her breathing in a calm matter.
People talking about how she did everything right. Doing everything right would mean not being in there in the first place. I am willing to bet the people who drowned there felt a degree of confidence and expertise.
AGREED AND ANY PERSON HAVING TO USE THE MORONIC TERM "OMG" SHOULD BE IN THAT SITUATION...INSUFFERABLE HEARING OMG SO VERY MANY TIMES
@@fcrossface7875 I'm suffering that you're using all caps and 2 "omg"
Very true, you have to respect the ocean!!
The people who drown in there overestimated their abilities; to the benefit of natural selection.
She did everything right: dove below the waves, stayed calm, swam back to shore rather than trying to exit immediately, etc. Most definitely a local.
All because we can't do it, don't diss on those who can.
She did everything right, dove down to the rock ledge when bigger waves came, stayed relatively calm, then swam back to the climb out spot after the largest wave in the set. Local girl for sure.
They were from Kauai for sure. Her two younger brothers and mother were there. They were acting relatively calm, while all the tourists were screaming.
‘Dove down”......that’s a new one. 😂
I’m now off deep sea doving!

The Queen's Bath is a beautiful, magical place. Use caution, more than a few swimmers have lost their lives thinking it is safe under less than ideal conditions. This girl was obviously a strong swimmer. Be careful. Aloha...
She wasn't swimming dude
@@mohit.bandbe Exploring rock tide pools can connect one with the divine sense of nature. The girl in this video is a local from the island, and frequently visits this sacred spot on Kauai. She didn't fall in, she dived in.
@@Cericle exactly
@@Cericle I hope somehow she comes across this video. you are absolutely right though, she was a local and does this normally for fun
Is it ever safe to visit Queens Bath. Low tide. ?
She's no girl, she's the Queen in Queen's bath
It most certainly does appear to be so!
Apparently, Kitty, she is!
She is smart, always dive to avoid to be swept👍
She might be smart, but not smart enough with the nature.. Never ever play with mother nature.. Its will take u less than one second love from malaysia 🇲🇾
@Tamer Ciftci they said her family was right there watching relatively calm as this probably happens somewhat often..she looks like a local with the way she handled it..the tourist were panicking and yelling but I'm sure her family knew it was alright.
@@skyday6751 this is very true!
@Tamer Ciftci
She's a local girl. Locals do this thing all the time, it's no big deal.
Only tourists freak like wussies.
@Tamer Ciftci
Disregard the stupid title and take a better look, she was never in any real danger, she had it all under control.
obviously an experienced water woman who knows exactly what she is doing, laird hamilton would be proud
Agree.
Philip Burton Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t but even experienced people drown. It happens all the time.
debbiemacd anyone can die at any second what’s new
"laird hamilton would be proud" she took 3 waves on the head... calm down lmao
She did everything right. She didn't panic. She held her ground and dived deep in a deep part of the bowl as each wave in the set passed through. As the set of waves ended she then and only then retreated to the rim. She should never have been in there though.
This is the guy you don't want around in an emergency
@LEE KING SNATCH anything other than just stand there recording it. He could have called for help, he could have tried to find a way to alert the correct people to bring assistance to her instead of not doing anything but recording it on ur phone and talking to ur friend
@@pacotaco5526 1she obviously knew what she was doing 2what kind of help should he have called for? There are no lifeguards there and no person would get in that water to help someone who doesn't even seem to need help and intentionally put herself in danger 3if you read more you would know she was a local with her family close calmly waiting for her
@@areswalker5647 you can still call the police any kind of help is better than no help.
@@pacotaco5526 go ahead tell me. you have 1 minute until she is sucked into the ocean. go ahead, whats your plan
yea, he'd just film it from a relatively safe distance
She looks like a experienced swimmer and always faced the ocean. No signs of panick.
She wasnt swept out. She jumped in. Locals do it often. Tourists always freak out, but rightly so.
Parece show de horrores para turistas...
I probably would have panic. I would have been holding on to a rock so good u would have thought we were a couple. I'm glad this lady was smart and survived.
😂
Lol you are so clueless.. If you tried holding to a rock, the waves would crush you on the rocks and break half your bones.. The girl dove in and ducked, so the upper swell doesn't take her. Just learn from the locals, especially if you are some continental person..
@@markolcl4784 This is Exactly what I'm talking about. I know u bumped your head on that rock, with your mouth open under water. It was a joke Mr. "I'm a lil slow but work with me" Man and common sense would let u know that someone who's put in that situation, just might panic and do what I said I would do. It's easy to say what's the proper way of survival mode when u are on dry land looking, right?
@@markolcl4784 internet warrior, 100% would shit urself in this situation
This woman is a skilled athlete, and a strong swimmer. I'm sure she knows the location, and her physical abilities.
That said, that extra big wave spun her for sure!
Yup, the moment she dove deep like that I knew she had to have been a surfer or knew the ocean very well
The danger is being thrown against the rocks when you are swept away by the water. You have zero control over where you want to go. It is a lot of fun if you survive, but many don't survive.
Lol thats not true, locals, including myself go out there all the time to challenge ourselves, none of us are dying, only tourists, we just dive under water when the set come thru and we hold onto a rock underwater to not get sucked out onto the rocks on the shore, we do that a few times and then we swim back to shore
Thank God,...I thought that wave was going to take her out. Glad she's safe.
Such amazing visuals and vibes in this! Really enjoyed it. Keep up the awesome work, I subscribed!
I think she knew what she was doing, still, I wouldn’t recommend it!
She handled that perfectly, didn't panic , went under the surge , didn't fight it , even when the big took her in a bit , she handled the whole thing like a pro
A pro wouldn't be there in the first place
@@keithadams812😂are you serious?doing this kind of thing is what makes you pro. Don’t be jealous
Kudos to the girl for being calm and not panicking. God bless ❤️
If she did everything right she wouldn't be in there in the 1st place, risking her life & the lives of n e rescuers
Experience or not, mother nature is not to be messed with. The ocean is a beautiful place, but she can take you out no matter how experienced you are.
If you're on rocks at the ocean's edge and there's no dirt, mud, sand, moss, etc....might wanna think about moving away from the water. All that missing stuff means the water routinely gets that high. Not just once a week, but like once or twice a day for awhile.
That girl is at the actual Queen's Bath. the section at 5 seconds in is often mistaken for the Queen's Bath, but it is just an inlet.
i see people jump in there... can't imagine anybody being able to swim out of that
genkisudo I just saw a you tube vid where they did swim back on land 👌
legend has it she is still in there till this day.
what legend? she got out as everyone can see
@@arjay_2002 legend has it she is still in there till this day.
Lmaoooo now that was funny even more this person saying legen has it she got out lol hes just being funny lol
She has evolved to mermaid
@@csgogaming9862 For a few days around every full moon, she will haunt nearby tows...
...issuing parking tickets.
Or maybe that was a different kind of maid...
people...she knows exactly what she is doing. I have been there and the locals do it all the time.
sounds pretty silly - get mortally slammed into volcanic rocks by freak wave
@Great White for the thrill, the adrenaline rush? It’s hard for a keyboard warrior like you to understand lol
It’s always this thinking that gets people killed. Nature doesn’t give a shit if you think you’re smart. People die just by chance all the time. She could’ve hit her head on a rock, or the water been just a LITTLE bit stronger. It’s not just stupid inexperienced people who die.
Ok... no experience can escape mother nature. She got lucky
@@donaldhooker4473 that’s the case with everything but experience can lower that risk 👍🏼
Everyone thinks the know what they’re doing until they drow😪
That's not true. People who know what they're doing will not drown. These are Hawaiian locals who grew up in these waves, they are not in any danger. And you would know that if you were a surfer, she did everything right.
That girl knew exactly what she was doing. Bravo!
Areas like this where there are rocks and turbulence are not suitable for swimming because no one has the physical strength to swim back to shore against the tide so stay out of this kind of water
💯
wholly mary I live on this island and 75% of the time it’s not even CLOSE to like this at queens bath. This is the conditions where you should not be swimming in any way but I love going there in the summer when it’s calmer
Sssshhhhh dont say that......darwinism..... we need it
Your confused
As a surfer I was like "Oh, she knows what she's doing."
Love the comments on the people filming who have no idea what they're talking about.
She knew exactly what to do, & I think she was just plain having fun, remember that?
This is lifesaving lesson...thank you
Misleading title. She didn't get swept by waves. If you watch she will dive under the waves and below a small rock ledge that protects her from the wave action. Locals know that the waves come in sets so you just have to stay calm and wait before trying to climb out on the rocks.
Do you even know wtf you're talking about🤔 😂😂😂
Brian James obviously bozo
Thanks, very impressive. At least someone that shows the distance between one place and another, I´ve always seen them separated, they are very close. I wouldn´t go to any of them, just look from a safe place. Thanks.
The ocean ain’t nothing to fuck with. Learned that when I was 13 in Florida on a jetty jumping down on some rocks to untangle fishing line...
experience swimmer, she dived just before the wave came over then resurfaced .. she is awesome and brave or crazy; perhaps a bit of both
She handled that very well. Appeared to stay calm and dive deep!
No Shit Sherlock
You don’t say 😊😊
Just amazing!! She was definitely the queen that day. 🙏❤👍🥰
I’ve stood on those rocks, and it was hard the waves are powerful. I remember being where you are in this video.
That's the best part of this idiotic video. The woman was watching the waves and knew what she was doing. Meanwhile the guy filming had his back to the ocean and was focused completely on her. A really large wave could have sweat him into the sea and judging by his concerned commentary he can not swim well. He's the one who was in danger, not the swimmer.
Man, this looks fun. Great to see locals knowing their water. Aloha mai kākou.
Nothing to worry about. Just the queen decided to take a bath is all.
I remember swimming with the turtles in queens bath. It was super calm when I was there thankfully. Such a beautiful place. Beautiful as it is terrifying in this state
exactly! I'm a weak swimmer, and I was in their earlier that week. It's a really nice place on calm days.
Should be renamed to Court Jester's Bath. No queen is foolish enough to bathe in that deathtrap.🙄
It's actually extremely nice and calming when the waves are not rough!
Man waves was very big. Never expected that to be so violent.. Girl survived as she swimmed to her safety in the last. Nightmare came true.. Unbelievable..
Legend tells she is still diving under the rocks to this day.
Quite some nerves, quite some swimmer, main thing she's ok
she's a keeper
maybe if they didn't name it queens bath people would stop trying to take a bath in it
People are calling her out for risking her life. But she looks like she knows exactly what she is doing. Probably been doing this since 5.
Queen’s Bath is nothing to mess around with
Having been there many times, I can't believe anyone let her go in in those conditions. It's quite mellow and fun when conditions are good. This is deadly. I don't know, maybe she is a daredevil local.
She is a local, she was not in any danger whatsoever, I've been a surfer for 20 years and I can tell she wasn't even struggling
@@RedLineShortFilms welp, I trust a local to know the conditions and timing. Seen too many not in the know (in any location where they don't understand the conditions) get quietly, desperately and slowly swept away
The commentary is spot on
she was lucky the last wave was a small one ... otherwise she may have been getting up and personal wth the rocks
Thank goodness she could swim!
There's a reason why people are told not to go here. But there are way too many tourists who think they know better who end up getting washed out to sea and need rescue. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS AND LISTEN TO THE LOCALS. The ocean could care less where you're from or how tough you think you are.
I say “ouch!!” But not because of the water, but for the volcanic rocks all around! Those things can be brutal!!
I m sure everyone in high current must be thinking of their cosy sofa set
This is the place that more people have drowned or gotten seriously hurt at. Tourist beware!
I think she's been in those situations before. Strong swimmer it appeared. Knew what to do. Got to a safer position quite fast. You have to do that while you still have energy. She didn't hang around in the more dangerous spot for too long. Don't have "fun" for too long before making a move. It wastes too much energy.
I know her that’s Britney and she wasn’t being a daredevil. She was playing frisbee on the beach and had to pee but didn’t want to leave so she tried to go discretely in the water. She didn’t realize the tide was coming in and when she saw those waves she remembered that happening on an episode of Baywatch so she did what David Hasslehof did and then got out and finished her frisbee game, not a big deal.
It may be safe when waves are calm, but clearly those were not the conditions. Makes me wonder about her frame of mind. Pounding surf and rocks all around? Stay on land.
Jujubar Williams the comments are saying that she knew what she was doing, diving underneath when the waves came and resurfaced
Jujubar Williams true...Thanks for us advise and care
Jujubar Williams films
Its a tradition. Dumbass. They wanna do it for fun. Stay out of their lives.
@@benchruss9641 WTH is your problem??
Nobody's talking about how amazing this place looks?
even better when it's good weather!
Thank God there was someone there using their phone to record it rather than do anything to try to help
Seriously right? 1 million + viewers would’ve been deprived
@@genkisudo g😆
No need to help, she wasn't in danger
Great electric potential here.
Been there it gets pretty crazy when thos sets roll in
She did good!
See a wave coming, dive underneath it.
She's having fun.
Thank God there was that dude with his phone to save her
I know right? Without that camera, no way this could've hit 999,000 views
She look a pro . she knows what to do
D C -- not even teenage, no way a pro. In those waves she still could have died. A video that does not tell if the victim lived or died has to be thumbs down. That is the most important fact.
A pro wouldn't go in there just for fun because a pro would see the risks in this situation.
How retarded are out!? Do you think that just because she is a local that she knows how to hang onto the rocks when a wave with 3 thousands pounds hits her? She got lucky dude. Unfortunately the same can’t be said about the girl I witnessed drown there 2 weeks ago.
D C how old are you?
She's a MORON. If she was smart she wouldn't be in there at all.
Beautiful sea waves on cliffs video with sound, thank you for sharing, I like it 👍
Queen's Bath. January. Our neighbours in our motel were a big group went there despite the signs and warnings. Injuries to most of them, broken bones including femurs, cuts everywhere, one had less good skin left than not, one dead.
Black bird flying at 1:23 is a symbol of death. RIP to this girl who passed.
That's actually a legendary display of skill
Oh, nothing here to be concerned about - if the girl lost her footing and was swept in by the incoming powerful waves she could rely on the cushion effect of the vertical rock walls to stabilise her! 😂🤣 People are quite oblivious of the power of water. We have had tropical rain here for 5 days, 8" or more per day, and many roads have fast running water across the causeways in the rural/urban hinterland low hills. That often happens, sufficient for residents to be familiar with the risks of crossing through floodwaters. Even the continual warnings on radio and television have not dissuaded 3-4 locals from losing their lives and dozens more from failing in their efforts to sneak through and calling on rescue services to protect their lives from their own personal stupidity.
My only thought is... I MISS THE OCEAN 😭
Phew! I misread the header thinking it said "girl swept away by massive waves". she was just swept and swam to safety. Yay.
The Force is strong in this one. She mastered her panic which is the most important thing in that situation.
I've been churned by much smaller surf against rock - I am grimacing just remembering it.😬
She must've been absolutely mangled!
She wasn't panicking she jumped in on purpose and wanted to face these waves.
This is why you go to Queen's Bath at LOW tide.
She knows what she's doing.
She knew what she was doing. People panicking harder than she was.
Hey genkisudo, is this your video? Would it be possible to get in touch to obtain a permission to use it? (i.e. via email). Cheers!
Notice she conserved energy by not fighting a force much stronger than her. Take note.
It doesn't matyer how well you handled situation when you are solely responsible to be in there at first place
"Oh shit", "Oh my GOD!", yet the guy ceases to get to higher ground!!
Best thing to do in that situation is use breaststroke keeping your head above water so you can see what waves are coming. Also with breaststroke you're able to get as much air as you need by keeping your head above the water checking your surroundings
She didn't get swept away. She knew exactly what she was doing. Just another day at the beach for her.
yeah she definitely didn't get swept away (as the title says)
What a wicked symphony.
She dove under the wave....I was in Hawaii and was watching the locals swim ...very amazing.....was rip tide warnings and everyone was swimming and boarding.....a tourist approached the water and the Life Guard Shouted " No tourist in the water today"....😂😂😂😂...
That is a scary place to be..
No one can predict when the ocean turns violent..
So this dude doesn’t even check on her to see if she is ok?
Dangerous, but it seems like she knew what she was doing.. she didn't get thrown around or panic or shout for help so... good for her 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Reading the comments is funny. When you grow up swimming and surfing in extreme conditions, you know what the ocean is doing and how to respond.
True. But sometimes what the ocean’s doing is killing you. And your only response is to drown.
The fallacy that a mere human can get the better of the Sea. It’s a great feeling till reality finally bites🤷♂️
@@sumanamjsYou have no idea what you're talking about. People have been telling me im gonna die every time I go out there and surf 20+ft waves. It's always tourists and people who have no idea how the ocean works or anything, and they have the audacity to tell me that ever since i was 9 years old, that's 21 years they've been telling me im gonna drown out there.
Well, I'm still here, and not only did I not drown but I have saved about 15 lives while surfing out there. I don't feel in any danger whatsoever, in fact I have come closer to dying while driving a vehicle or being a pedestrian than being in the ocean. The ocean is predictable and always does the same thing, people on the other hand...
@@KurtRomboughThe ocean is extremely predictable, way more predictable than anything else in life, it always behaves the same way. I have spent close to 35 000 hours swimming, surfing, kayaking, riding waves. The ocean always behaves the same way, you can't convince me that it's not the case. Any waterman will tell you the same thing.
@@RedLineShortFilms While I understand what you're saying, there are many things in life that are more predictable. Flat ground for example. :P
I appreciate that while intense, surfing is a pretty safe sport. Waves and swells in combination with rocks are much less safe. You have a LOT more experience than I do with the ocean. But that doesn't change the fact that people die in the water. Experienced or not, accidents and mistakes unfortunately happen.
She was using power of these waves to get to the shore..smart .experienced swimmer..
she was a really strong swimmer. I think the only people that were concerned were the tourists (myself included).
@@genkisudo she may be like me..unsinkable !!! Lol..I m just like a cork..,can lay on my back in water for hours and read a book or have a drink...happened once that i did fell asleep in water and that i have to admitt was a dangerous moment..lol
@@dorotagalas869 you guys are crazy! I can barely swim 30 meters without gasping for air or needing help :'( but much respect to that! :D
@@genkisudo lol..u can swim..but the problem is that u are threading the woter too much...just float on water..not moving at all...just for enjoyment of it...its easiest on the back...if u have to swim..and u are getting tired..or u feel like u go under..just relax your body ..like u are laying on the bead..and u will rise to the surface withkut even moving your finger...then float and when u gain strenght ..just start swimming again..lol
This was not smart and she was lucky at best! Never gamble your life with such meager winnings!!!
Girl knows how to handle things bigger then she expected
As I was saying that, I realized how it came out lol
Question for the locals on here. Which is more dangerous Queens Bath or that inlet thing I see people jumping in in other videos? Why do other videos call that inlet queens bath?
A crash into the rocks could have been fatal
No it wouldn't have been, she's a local, you don't get thrown into rocks here because you're supposed to grab a rock underwater and not let go until the wave is over you. But even if you get thrown over the rocks, as a surfer you learn to protect your head with your arms in a headlock, which is what she did. It's tourists who drown, not hawaii locals.
When you know your location, and are familiar with the action.....this is play!
😊
1:14 - she knows what she was doing. Nice girl 🤙
she died later that evening
