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 👍
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 RUclips. Killer crew out of the Pacific Northwest putting out gnarly content with superb videography. High level stuff friends. Enjoy and stay psyched.
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.
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?
8:03 he says he doesn't want to waste any of our times while literally wasting 8 minutes of our time on nothing
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.
Epic video...Jamie you would be a really great father...you're so cool with the kids.
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.
This video is good for 3 year olds
Love Jamie's gleeful laugh, it's so contagious! 💜
11:15 guy in the background on the edge accepting his fate
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
Stay jazzed Jamie
STAY JAZZED !
I'm super jazzed!
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?
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...
11:13 the kid in the background, the way he just goes with the collapsing bank 😂
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 😂
New Caddy looks awesome! Love the color!!
Having a taxi out to the waves is incredible. Obviously you have it made... 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)
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.
I love your vids man! Smiling ear to ear psyched
Thank you for your positivity! Always brings a smile to my face
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!
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.
love to see the old man having more fun then all the kids!
That barrel at pinballs got me psyched yewww 🤙🤙🤙
In Australia they would put up fencing on both sides and there'd be fun police keeping everyone well back from the water in line with the risk assessment.
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
The legend is delivering another banger!
Jamie is the eternal grom. Never change dude.
The golden brown river connecting with the crystal blue ocean is absolutely magical!
You’re a dope dude Jamie, never change!
You know you’re the man when the lifeguard drops you off out at pinballs for content while the river opens up.
He surfed so hard he became dangerous to fish globally 😂
Kalani is such a legend man! Salute from Jersey
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 😫
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.

Anyone wondering if board guy was going to be turned into a crabby patty on the rocks ?
Yes.
Hog! Leave the river waves for the groms.
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
Yes Jamie. Another great video, so psyched when I see your videos pop up. Aloha to you and Tina
So jazzed right now!
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
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.
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
Love this kind of vlog content
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
Pinball looked fun and nice barrel Jamie! Love the Waimea River surfing. Love the vlog. Waaaay Psyched!!!
River content starts at 10:40
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 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...
I love how the title says "dangerous river breach" and Jamie is just like, "I can probably surf that."
Wow the water looks so inviting. Another epic day. Woohoo
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.
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🤙
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.
"A good friend, some wealth, or the ideal perspective, and it never would've happened"
7:46 to 7:58 That killed me lol
10/10
(edit was i messed up one of the times sorry)
Jamie is such a big kid. Great video.
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 : )
Brah, Jamie the caterpillar next to the Cat at 7min deep was EPIC!!! LOL 🤙🏾
Love watching your videos!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!
PSYCHING!!! 💯
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.
I always love Hawaii and the volcanic beach scenery.
i dont even surf and i watch you so just goes to show to be top you gotta just be relatable
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.)
Are they taking advantage of an excavation or excavating to create a place to enjoy? Just curious. Either way looks like fun

Neat stuff
Brah! We used to dig that up with our hands and boards back then. Well worth it!!!
Straight epic. That thumbnail is badass.
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.
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
Lol”kinda slow” that’s a 6.2 L v8 supercharged under that hood pushing 640hp, dream car
I HAVE to get here one day before i go!
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.
Howed it last long enough to get that big?
I thought the surfers dug it out pretty quick for the river wave
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.
I love the older guys at 11:40 helping the kid out of the water
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.
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 :)
Then the following month the island runs out of fresh water ... GENIUS
Just so wholesome, it’s inspirational
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.
Fifteen minutes of nothing but self-promotion and bullshat.
YAAYYYY all the fresh water fish will like the salt water
Uh, no, they open that up to prevent flooding above the beach in Waimea Valley.
Get ready for red tide.
Red Bull is really bad for your health
Yea is is but he is sponsored by it sooo

What happened?
I fell asleep watching this video last night so I’m back to finish it 🤣🤣
Punk rock paired with high energy novelty shreds... Epic!

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
Such a w video
Jamie! So stoked

Got to meet u a while ago while in Oahu which was so sick! Slip n slide vids are gonna be so sickkkk
Those bucket hats are fire!!!
The legendary Waimea Bay. I miss living in Oahu. Especially visiting the country sides.
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!!
