    Me and my friend, and a lot of people that day, face planted and rolled around and couldn't get out of there!! Because of the pretty steep incline out to the ocean, and it's a long way out there to get past the beakers!! It really IS a fight to get back on shore!!!! Thanks for uploading. I sure do miss Maui.....

    I surfed here once, the waves are way bigger than you think, these are about 8-12, my dad never went after he dislocated his shoulder taking on the big shore breaks at big beach. It was about 12-16 foot shore breaks on the right side of big beach when he dislocated his shoulder.

    Though it's not dramatic, it sure is hypnotic. I at least can't take my eyes off the waves rolling on the beach building structures in the sand and while flowing back into the ocean impede other waves which try to make their way to the shore.

    I’ve lived and worked there 30 years ago , when it was only a dirtroad to it. This point of view is of the cliff dividing Big & Little beach . Waves at Big Beach are good for boogieboarding & skimboarding…rarely surfable waves due to huge backlash , Little beach way better break but high surf rare on the Southside. Once after work we hit morning swell bodysurfing , waves pretty bigger than this….came out without shorts ; its like a washingmachine out there . Still MAUI NO KA OI!!❤

    why are there so many dislikes? these waves are pretty decent size ive been to this beach before about 5 years ago. ive had aunties and uncles die at this beach. i myself have been injured from being slammed on the bottom of the beach by the waves. the riptides are strong and there's a sharp drop off about 30 feet away from the shore line. you either ride the rip and go straight in or you get dragged in and sucked under the drop off, picked up and slammed haha thats the worst part.

    The sand moves a lot - it's like the ocean scoops the sand away - and I don't have video of that - so much that the rocks are very exposed. And then the ocean can bring the sand back in. The shore line changes A LOT in one year. I don't think there is less and less sand at this beach, but on the North shore, there is lots of erosion.

    For all of you guys saying this is not dramatic this guys is on like a 40 foot cliff and if you’ve ever been to bigs you know if it’s breaking at the reef it’s big. Theses waves are probably like 6-10ft. If you are not a very experienced bodyboarder, surfer, or body surfer just don’t go out. It’s that simple if you go out inexperienced you are most likely gonna get hurt by getting slammed into the sand and that would make the lifeguards have to come out and save you so you’re not only putting your life in danger you’re putting the lifeguards life in danger just because “It’s not that big let’s go swimming” Just don’t go out on days like these.
