How to Surf Kauai’s Waimea River

Since I have been posting about the Waimea area of the Hawaiian Island of Kauai these past few days I thought readers may find this YouTube video of people surfing the Waimea River of interest:

The Waimea River is largely a dammed up lake for most of the year until the winter rains break the sand barrier at the beach and the water flows into the ocean.  These surfers just sped up the process and took advantage of the resulting waves to surf on them.  Pretty cool idea!
