Big Waves=Lots of Drowning People

Its that time of the year again, its big wave time!!! Which is completely awesome because that means tons of hot surfers coming to the island from all over the world!!! I love it when that happens. Shirtless guys, surfing 20-30 foot waves, there's nothing better than that. But what some people dont understand is that with the hot surfer guys, comes the big rip tides, and undercurrents that could suck you out to sea.
People need to realize that the waves are pretty, but they are dangerous. Take 12 year old Kylie, she got sucked 200 feet out to sea in Waimea Bay. She had never been in waves more than 3 feet, and all of a sudden she was battling against 6 and 7 foot waves. And that isn't even very big. North Shore is getting waves upwards of 25 feet!
Learning safety in the ocean while waves are this big is going to keep the lifeguards out of the water! Which is what we need! The last thing you want to hear about is someone dying in the waves. So be careful!
