i tried surfing on the north shore for a week… 😳

You should DEFINITELY know how to read the ocean before you go out on a big day… even a little day. Probably the first thing you should have is a basic knowledge of rips, how to spot them and how to get out of them. This will also help you get out a whole lot faster.

Putting our lifeguards at risk as well when you go past your limits, please stay out of the water here in Hawaii if the swell is out of your capabilities. So many tourists come and lose their life due to ignorance of the ocean

She’s surfing at one of my favorite breaks and I see people like her all over the north shore at spots they don’t belong at. There are plenty of more beginner friendly spots you can surf without risking the safety of others. Please know your abilities and choose your spots accordingly.

Not knowing about rip current as a surfer is dangerous. Surprised the lifeguard didn’t ask you to leave and go to a smaller break to surf.

I really wish people took time to get to know Hawaiʻi fr... Normalize practiced caution and respect, BEFORE diving right into it. As pretty and romanticized as it is, Hawaiʻi is NOT a safe place by any means. People get hurt or worse here; drown from riptides, lost and hurt on hiking trails. You gotta understand that the lifeguard and locals scold people and get mad for a reason: we dont want to hear another tourist or anybody getting hurt or killed because somebody was ignorant!

Damn haole. You dont start on the north shore. 😂😂😂

[jamesoelofse]

You literally are NOT ready for these waves🤣

[CheckingUpdates]

North shore Oahu, every island has a North Shore and Hawaii is the big Island

[imposterinparadise]

The word DUH is appropriate here. Are you going to tell us next that water is wet?

[AhaImInDanger]

When you said “knowing this could save your life” IS TRUE! My mom was once sucked in a current and if she didn’t know how to escape she wouldn’t be here today.

[jessicaturney]

Just stepped up to a 7’ board and had a blast catching waves on it ! I am sooo so happy I want to cry. Thank
You for inspiring me to keep pushing myself thru my own intimidation and believe that I can learn to have fun out in the beautiful ocean 🌊 ❤

[hellodumzo]

A few kids just went missing and one died while at the north shore due to the harsh conditions and breaks. Stop being stupid and putting yourselves and others at risk.

[yourgirleft]

where the waves don’t crash is the rip so you can use that as a lil highway to get out. and then use white water to ride back to shore

[markest]

I appreciate what your doing
Also that trying to ouch your
Social media. That being said again I am a local here
A lot of your statements are
Incorrect an if life guards have to help talk to you etc…
Can assure you der pissed
Off! There are plenty of other waves in town, west side that are more your level
Surf have fun be safe, it’s not worth it risk your taking
For likes an follows !🤙🏽

Look I’m going to be honest, before you go out in any surf, especially in HAWAII, you need to know you limits and have a thorough understanding of the water, which sadly you do not have, I know I’m not capable of surfing that because I know theres a big chance I would 💀. My advice, HAVE RESPECT FOR MOTHER NATURE, next time she might not give an inexperienced surfer another chance. You can get there, but as said in the comments do not be ignorant. It’s the hard truth but I’m trying to not let another precious life die due to stupidity in the water.

[phoonsiri]

You always remember your best wave. But you never forget your worst wipe out. Shaka!

[amirguilherme]

Plese, if you dont got the full ability to surf waves like the north shore, dont put your life in risk and our life guarda, and you should know how to read the ocean, where to enter and where to leave. You shouldnt enter in the ocean without reading it, this will save you many minutes of padling in, just a tip.

[dddancefan]

I live on the north shore so its cool to see other people that try to surf pipeline 😊

[graememichaelstephens]

Stop putting lifeguards in danger geez.

[charlesloomis]

Scared but didn't stop!! Good job!
