Despite heavy rains, Hawaiians prove, for the millionth time, that they live in the happiest state in the country. During winter, the river that runs through Waimea Valley floods and sends a heavy stream of water out into the ocean.
Jamie O’Brien, Kalani Chapman, Jack Robinson and others dug out a path for the water to flow. The Waimea River is one of the longest rivers in Hawaii, stretching for 2.1 miles. Best part about the standing wave? No paddle out.
