- Warning: If you are not a local surfer who frequents this break, don't even think about surfing here! It's beautiful but one of the most dangerous places to be in Hawaii. Countless lives are lost here every year! That doesn't just go for surfers but it includes spectators too.
China Walls was firing and beautiful during the peak of the greatly anticipated big SSW swell. These groms were killin it out there!

Blue sky, opal blue sea, great waves and great surfing, what’s not to love in life❤
Use to surf there in the late 70’s growing up, I remember many days like this but uncrowded 😎🤙🏽
I could watch this all day. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Surfed here as a kid back in 80’s. Love seeing it as I remembered it. Solitary and beautiful
A spot of true beauty on Oahu, where land, surf, and sky meet. I consider myself more of a spectator on a spot like this than a participant.
Love your videos, awesome drone vantage and the music fits perfectly. I surf this spot on the regular and watching this video keeps me smiling even when I'm stuck behind my desk in a dark room. Excellent mind surfing meditation. Keep it up.
Lived at "The Circle" from 1992-1995, loved this spot too...that south swell in 95 was Bezerk!!!
Best video ever of China Walls, one of my all-time favorite places to enjoy surfing. Mahalo nui 🤙
Mahalo Gamelan 🤙🏽🤙🏽
An epic day at a break I grew up with...astoundingly beautiful documentation. Mahalo for this artful work about the part of Chinawalls that is rarely documented...the break on the other side of the coral heads...the break we actually used to call Chinawalls (for reasons you can clearly see in your video), but later generation folks and others here have shifted over to the rock wall we used to call Main Point. Nice coverage of both here. Thanks so much.
Surfed Portlock Point back in 1973, lived east side in those days. It can be a very dangerous place with a rather meaty swell.
I remember the differences between it, and other Town area breaks well. The currents on a big day are treacherous as is getting in and out of the water.
This video here is exceptionally well done, and the conditions are just gorgeous for it. Sincere mahalo for bringing this to me. Excellent capture here, and yes the accompanying music is extremely well chosen also. Aloha,
Obviously, one of the most beautiful surfing spots on the planet. When it is big and the direction is right. You get freight trains.
Beautiful edit, love it 🙏🏼🤙🏼
STUNNING 😍 I didn't even know this break existed. What a wave, and once again, what a fantastic film. Incredible footage, beautifully packaged, giving us viewers more than you'll ever know.
These films should be prescribed for mental health in the UK during winter 😊
Mahalo 🙌 🙏 ✨️ 🤙
I’m from Pensacola and I surfed it back in the 90’s when I was in my 20’s, I loved it, caught one into the cove! Cool place to surf, all tucked in Hawaii Kai
Elmy, your channel is awesome. Thank you.
Mahalo 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing home breaks. And for taking me where my wheels might not let me. Aloha from Singapore!
Aloha G.S! Glad you like the video 😍
I've spent a lot of time in the different breaks in Maunalua Bay - and this footage is astounding.
Formally Fionas? Best videographer hands down. Great job guys
Mahalo for your support!! 😊🤙🏽
I surfed this a bunch in the 80's when my buddy was stuck working at Cinnabun! Super fun and trippy to ride the wedge along the wall, but also easy to find yourself dry docked, hangin off the wall trying to climb out. Better to brave the urchins on the inside...
This was fun to watch, what an epic day!
I love this channel for pure Oahu soul, representing the thing we know and love
🌺❤️🙏🏾
That certainly looks like port-loc.
Eimy I am not a surfer but I love water. This video of yours is beautifully done. Great angles. ( at 7:35 is my fave one).And those surfers really had an amazing day surfing those emerald-blue and safe waters. Thank you for sharing.
Mahalo, day was partly cloudy but we had a nice 30 minute window where direct sunlight was shining through the crystal clear water, so happy to catch it like that
Your videos are all so beautiful - many thanks.
What a wonderful blue ocean and the best waves😭🌍💙
Aloha Yuko Hope you're doing well! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Came back for more. Much respect.
Wow this is awesome might be your best video yet!
Aloha Aiden Glad you think so! There were some bombs and firing!
What a great video almost felt like I was there for a moment
What an incredible reef break ! Water color amazing 🤩
Awesome
Yep no color grading was used at all for this video too, just natural colors. It was partly cloudy so you can tell when the cloud is blocking the sun from when it's open sky
can be one of the best waves on the south shore ,, especially when its pushing hard around the corner and starts breaking outside the boil ,,
Absolutely, surfed it just perfect in 2011 or 2012 and have never been able to score it like that ever since.
Awesome drone footage! Go girl.
Mahalo!! 😁
@@revealhawaiimedia808 are u using a DJI FPV? I’m going to come over to Oahu from Kona in Aug to see the Blue Angels. Would you want to fly drones w me? I’m sure you got some great spots. It would b great to follow u around or visa versa. Lmk aloha
wonderful movie💓🥰🌴
So beautiful, I almost cried. :)
-peace
Big mahalo’s to Mr. Kaiser for filming with the drone that day! Had some dreamy conditions for sure
Keanu my boy! You were ripping out there! Proud of you, we'll get some more of your epic clips soon 🤙
beautiful! hawaii is such a stunning place
I totally agree!
Early 70s lived between there and diamond head, never heard it called China walls. Just Portlock point. Wonder why it’s called China walls now?
This quality is amazing!
Thank you Mathew! Hope you enjoy it
I've always heard of a surfspot from here, here I am, I can't wait to see the video! CIAO Eimy's.. our names look alike!💙
Aloha Emi Glad you enjoyed it! Chee!
Absolute perfect edit, choice of music made me want to be there.
side note - why pull out of a bomb of a wave at 1:34 could of got barrelled at the end
That guy was killing it out there. He also got the deepest longest close out barrel 🙌
What a wonderful video
Aloha Ni Glad you enjoyed it !
Beautiful.
Mahalo Mike!
Love your work Eimy. Arohanui from Aotearoa.
Mahalo!🤗
Beautiful video🤙
Thank you 🙌
China walls is the wave that wedges against the wall. Portlock point is the wave that breaks far away from the wall. Portlock point can hold the size of 12'+ swells but it can be so shallow in spots as to be deadly at that size. I had a couple of different solid 12' sessions out there but the last one scared me and taught me that it was not a wave that anyone should attempt at that size and I was a North Shore guy who is comfortable with big waves. This is the kind of place that can give you a concussion on the bottom.
Wow, such a dangerous wave and we usually see it close out when it's big 😬
wow what a day!
Aloha StavrosMusic 🙋🏻♀️ Yes it was! 🌊🫣
Yessss!!!
Beautifull place.. nice music
Watched quite few vids about China wall haven't really seen a decent wave ,, but hey when you dont live there you dont see the good days ..
I'd never broadcast good waves on my local .. in fact lve never broadcast any footage .. keep the search alive ..
I love your China Walls video, and I love the music you used. Could you please tell me who the music is by? I would love to purchase that CD.
Thanks
Mark, from Michigan.
I know... great surf there, right?
Is this the paradise?
Turtles and tigers in that water too...
5:37 👍
Amazing place for sure. It looks like to me a couple different days in the video. Lots of close out on the bigger days. Looks like it has a hard time handling a big swell. Smaller days look more manageable offering more lines..
Nope the entire video was shot within a two hour time period. It was partly cloudy that day so that's why the water is bright blue and clear and then dim in other shots.
We shot at Ala Moana bowls in the morning, shot here after lunch in the afternoon, shot diamond head around 5pm, and then shot Canoes for evening sunset session. It was quite a day
Loved this place & Emily what a gorgeous video youve captured. Music's perfect! Mahalo to all who still call this home. You are blessed. Oahu 74-78❤️🤙
Fun wave
As beautiful as it is, this looks like the shortest break in Hawaii.
I wish you wouldn’t have shown so much of the surrounding landscape and name the spot. It’s been getting so crowded at such a small special spot. It’s kind of an unwritten rule in surf photography. But great filming!
P.s. this is one of the deadliest spots on the south shore. Plenty of ppl have drowned or broke their back thinking it’s a lot calmer than it actually is and can’t get back in.
Come on guy, this isn't the first China Walls Surf video someone has made and sure won't be the last. But I hear you, should put a death claim warning in the description and tell tourists and inexperienced surfers to stay away. Mahalo
@@oahuforjustice r u guys serious. Its THAT dangerous and takes countless lives each year ? Thats terrible. From what ? people swimming and underestimating the rip / surfers ?
@@subchan6595 Yeah when the waters are rough, people find themselves in a dangerous place if they don't know what to do. You got to be ready to deal with all that in this place as well as knowing that Brownie, the resident Tiger Shark is seen sometimes right where this video was shot, we're not kidding, Bownie the Tiger Shark at China Walls
lol it was crowded 25 yrs ago ,, and i think your thinking of Sandy's
@@subchan6595 the guy thinks its Sandy's ,, folks get in trouble at the cliff edge here getting in and out of the water plenty of over hang under the water you can get stuffed into and get stuck ,, when i live PortLock seen it happen more then once
1:39 water looks surreal like he's surfing on jelly
8:42 killed it.
Lol i live here and im watching videos of this.
When did go from Portlock Point to China Walls?
Great flying great surfing great God almighty mahalo ke Akua!
Mahalo Dan 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Yewwwww🎉
Should go on a good day when it bounces off the wall needs to be bigger than 4 feet best at ten and above
portlocks not china walls--go right at china walls get killed- also there was a cliff jumping spot around the point that killed some of my friends in the late 80's-thanks for bringing back bad memories
Yes and still a lot of deaths occurring there in recent years
"Firing" is subjective isn't it!!
水が綺麗！！
Ne! Water was so clear and nice... it was a great day for surfing!
Thanks for the beautiful footage Eimy. I'm excited to go here next month (mid-July) and surf. Do you know if there are board rentals in the area. I usually ride a fun board. My favorite is the Gerry Lopez Wave Storm model.
Aloha Joe, yes there are some rental surf boards in waikiki. If you want to keep your surf board at surf shop, go Koa surf board. They provide surf board lockers by Canoes where is the most popular surf break in Waikiki. Also another popular one is Moku, and you can rent surf boards on the beach too. You can rent them in Alamoana areas too.
Beautiful. Who’s the artist of
The song???
got it from acoustic selection from artlist I think I'll ask Oahufor justice
Nice
Mahalo Mitchell 😊🤙🏽💯
Portlocks, not China walks.
China walls is against the cliff
I surfed that allot , it's changed with the foreign colonization, almost like , colonization took the joy of surfing out of Hawaii,with the over crowding, I loved that place!!Hopefully we decolonize soon !! It's in the work's from the inside!!
It looks like a nightmare place to get back on dry land?? Nice waves, but reading the description not for the faint hearted??
I’m the one at 7:35 haha. Any chance i can snag that shot? Mahalos
Right on! Love that shot. We tell people they're more than welcome to rip their clip from this RUclips video just pls don't crop out the watermark and pls given credit to revealhawaiimedia because it takes a lot of work to film and edit with expensive equipment but yes by all means you can take it 🤙
Aloha palinoia Films You're the ripper!
If I could surf, Iwould surf China Walls.
Where is Eimy riding a tube???
Hahahahahaaa I wish
i like that at 5:45
What drone did you use to film this?
he used either the mavic air2s or the mavic 3 cine version, good luck
@@revealhawaiimedia808 Mahalo thank you for the reply. Not too familiar with drones but do you think the DJI Mini3 Pro could produce similar quality/results?
@@AntiNormie812 Very close results more than likely. It's hard to tell the difference between mini 3 and mavic 3 drone footage sometimes. The mini 3 won drone of the year for a reason 🤙🏽
No credit for the beautiful background music?
We don't label non copyright music for content creator music sites we pay hundreds of dollars for. Same as Jamie O'Brien's vlogs and the rest of them. We do include artist and song labels on videos that we don't pay for.
Tube to cutback at 8:44, who da guy?
uh oh... Plenty ppl going start showing up there now. After watching this video. Just saying. 😎
It's rare for it it get like this, 1 hour it was good, the 2nd hour it was shutting down. plenty of surfers checked it out while we were there and decided to go surf Bowls instead. I wouldn't worry
Wonder who was jumping spitting caves that day?
: )
Aloha Steven! How'z it
It sucks how crowded that place is now days. Bunch of donkeys just waiting to get hurt.
Maad
Good Grief, heaven on earth?
Cheee 😊🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 Mahalo for your support!
explain the danger...ARE THE LOCALS DANGEROUS??
i watched....WOW
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes there is definitely localism and only experienced surfers can surf out there
Lmao 🤣
Can't we just enjoy things without posting them on the internet? Why the need to share everything to everyone? Beautiful footage of course but ask yourself, why??
Like Surf at Pipeline or Waimea?
There's a 100 other videos on RUclips about China Walls for years with way more views than this one. You're going to be busy commenting on all those channels to not post beautiful China Walls videos
people don't know how good the waves get in China. This is an average day for us communists.
This isn't an average day, Jamie O'brien was getting barreled on his 9ft soft top at Bowls during the time this was filmed. This day was the peak of the last big SSW swell.
What are you doing showing this break? Your disclaimer means nothing! Surfers everywhere weep drone tears...sad, but expected...pull the vid...
Lol, are you going to pull down your drone video at Makaha? Or better... have you left this comment on the other china walls videos
Ouch! OK, I'm sorry 4 trolling your beautiful video...can you do one @ Ricebowl's South Shore Surf break? I'm a big fan! Toodles
@@lorrinrodrigueshs-bcp192 Lol Ricebowls is definitely a local spot. Thought about filming Old Mans, castles, and rice bowls when it was big but missed the opportunity. We'll prob have to wait until May of 2023 to get it firing like that again
Needs a name change, (socialist walls) . Quarantined in their houses, how about freedom walls where a free people's can enjoy such a wonderful place.
Freedom walls... 🤔 I like that
"countless lives are lost here every year"??? countless?
Didn't your little mom teach you not to exaggerate so brazenly??
You must be the China Walls Aloha ambassador. May be not every year but last few years plenty of these incidence of death in the news.
@@revealhawaiimedia808
Apologies - I was just going to delete my inappropriate and thoughless comment which I posted before I checked the video or what you do on RUclips - which is all good. Great channel, great content, great Aloha vibe. I did something I don't generally do, which was to be reactionary.......when I saw your description of the video.
On the other hand, you could be the official ambassador for clearing the line up for the China Walls locals with that description 😻😻
peace peace - subbed
