Girlfriend and I were supposed to take a bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara.

Watched 5 seconds of videos of buses making the trek between the two.

Immediately booked two puddle jumper round trip tix.

It was a few hundred bucks but I'd have paid thousands.  No way in hell am I experiencing that.

Could be either lol or holy crap.

A quick search says that two people were pulled out unharmed.

Great, 2021's version of the Murder Hornet is a tongue replacing parasite.  DAMMIT!  This was supposed to be the Summer of George & Lobo!

Does this mean we aren't doing the mustaches any more?

One of my Great Pyrenees is an expert at killing racoons.  We have chickens and she does a great job of keeping them safe.  She just kills the racoons and leaves them alone after.

Now stand on the ground and give it a shot.

Legit holy shit. Is that normal for them to be so bunched up like that? Or was that a result of everyone panicking and trying their best not to get crushed?

That is an awesome video.  Would love to see the footage of the jetskis that NOPED at 2:15 and turned around.

That was prob the best spot to catch the wave sets. Waves were breaking there and they could ride the break to the optimal point outside the break as the wave progressed to shore. Those two waves were monsters which wasn’t normally how the sets were coming in. Caught everyone off guard. 
 

The drone pilot saw those waves building and knew what was about to happen. That’s why he flew the drone over to catch the chaos.

 

Edit: I was wrong. The surfers were in the upper left corner. That's where they caught the waves and road the left break (point of the surfer) and jumped off the wave around the area of the boat and jet skis. The jet skis would pick up the surfers in between breaks because they cannot paddle of of the break zone by themselves.

Those two massive waves broke where the other sets hadn't broke before. Caught all the support vehicles off guard.

Oooohhh. Thanks. That makes way more sense. I thought all the jet skis were out there riding the waves for fun. Didn't realize they were there for support.

DAMN! Like the end of the video of the other surfer flagging the support people that they may want to go pick up the rag doll in the break zone.

Saturday saw a huge swell on the North Shore: 20-25 foot Hawaiian scale, which means 40+ foot faces. And even in those huge swells, there's always a few close out sets / rogue waves that outsize the rest of the day. These two waves look like that. The skis are there as support for the surfers. The waves are too big to paddle out through (and sometimes too big to paddle into) so they have to get towed out / in by the skis. These close out set hit the support group and it was lights out. 

The video here shows Pupukea, less than a mile down from Waimea Bay and Outer Reef where the jet ski video was shot. As the reporter says, the rocks in the video usually have 15 feet of exposed vertical rock. I've jumped off those rocks countless times. In her video, taken at a random time on Saturday, the rocks are totally submerged by the waves. Remember that this news video is a) showing regular wave activity from the day, not just the biggest waves, and b) these rocks are close to shore where the waves are far, far smaller than those breaking at Outer Reef. Just gives you some idea of what happens on the North Shore.

Just to add to this discussion, I went swimming with sharks (I was in a cage, cage goes in the water, shark's in the water) about 3 miles off of Oahu's north shore.  We saw some tiger sharks. 

So if the waves don't kill you, the sharks might.

DAMN! Like the end of the video of the other surfer flagging the support people that they may want to go pick up the rag doll in the break zone.
 


I don’t know shit about surfing but the first time I saw footage from Teahupoo I could tell it was something different. Just massive amounts of force in that wave.

It's a unique wave in that most of the face and the power of wave comes from the ocean sucking out water from the pit / impact zone, as opposed to creating a monster wave crest over a reef or a point break like you usually see. The ocean just sort of hollows out and creates this thick slab of doom, rather than building your typical wave shape. That's one of the reasons it's primarily a tow-in wave -- not much time to paddle because the wave just suctions up and creates the face so quickly. 

Just like I told the guy on ABC: danger is my business.
