Some people got nailed even behind the caution tape. Any visitors getting drilled on the ocean side had it coming. Imagine going to a state with the history of Hawaii, then to the most prestigious surf contest in the world, and NOT listening to the lifeguards. Eddie Aikau was a hero of mine while he was alive and of course, after he passed. Not listening to the lifeguards? That's not respecting the memory of Eddie Aikau. When he was alive, if he told people not to get too close and they did anyway, he let them take a little bit of a whupping before pulling them out.

It never ceases to amaze the locals on how dumb and defiant some of these tourists are. And after being hospitalized, these same tourists end up suing the State for not posting enough hazard signs.

Should fine all these morons for littering since they were warned to watch the event from higher grounds.

These people getting sucked out during the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational are just showing natural selection at work! They're just helping us improve the gene pool!
