RAW: How a RIVER WAVE FORMS START TO FINISH

Video: by @ianhayes
When the waves are bad, we are so desperate that we will ride urban runoff. Certain wave and tide conditions will build a sand berm that dams a river runoff. The river will break naturally a couple times a month. If the berm is high enough, water will eventually begin to trickle in to the ocean on its own (DIGGING IT OUT IS ILLEGAL) until the the flow rate of the river is so great that it creates some impressive rapids. The board that I am riding in this video is a board that I designed with Catch Surf and am excited to be releasing this month. It is a board that can be used as both a boogie board and a great entry level skimboard. I think it is going to be a big hit with the groms.

Am I the only one worried about the river running out of water? Lol

[doaa]

I thought this was going to be an indepth video of someone explaining how big waves can be in rivers

[bioonar]

the way this so quickly went from “yeah you could jump across that” to “you’d be an fool to try and cross that”

Is that kind of Terraforming allowed? 😅

Geography teachers in 2050:

"And that's how the californian desert was formed"

Imagine waking up and seeing there's no lake where there was once

I would love to see a time lapse video of the river during one of these, just to watch the water level drop.

Let’s go for a walk along the beach, damn we need a bridge now

I've gone to this beach many times and wondered how this massive divot was created. Now I know.

Imagine living by the beach, then BOOM, no more beach

Plot twist: he just redirected the Mississippi River effectively crippling the u.s. economy

I'm gonna tell my kids rivers were created by ancient surfers looking for bodacious waves.

[sandoval]

Lifeguard is like "not these damn hippie surfers again!"

[DinPoww]

Imagine going for a walk along the beach and when you decide to come back to go home you see a whole ass river between you and your car

[elsololobo]

Scientists the next day: "it took millions of years for this river to form."

[bram]

Imagine having a houseboat lying in that river and waking up in the middle of the fucking ocean

[llilucc]

It’s crazy how All this started by one tiny line through the sand

[robin.n]

If you do this in the Netherlands it will flow the other way around and my house and half the country will be under water.

If you look at port bolivar / crystal beach in Texas, you can see the long term effect this has. They installed a washout for fishing ect. And you can see the major erosion on the bay side of the peninsula over time

millions of sand snails and crabs lost their lives that day
