- Big surf hitting Sandy Beach Shore break in Oahu, Hawaii! This was filmed at 7/14/2019. Ala Moana Bowls and the whole South Shore was going off with huge barrels and heavy drops and wipeouts. After filming Ala Moana Bowls, I decided to take a drive to the East @ Sandy Beach thinking that Sandys will be firing also. As you can see.. it was! Not a lot of surfers, Body Surfers and Body Boarders out charging, but whoever did go out that day
you are gnarly. It was great to watch, and many of you guys scored! Huge barrlels, fun drops. Major shoutout to the surfer who went over the falls. That was heavy!
I hope there is another huge summer swell coming.

Me and a buddy were in Oahu for a week and didn't really plan anything, just got in the rental car and would stop when we saw something cool. We saw a nice beach with a lot of pretty ladies and decided to hangout for a bit. Saw the warning signs and thought, well there's a lot of people in the water, many younger than me (I was early 20s) and figured what the hell. I felt like I was in a washing machine. Those waves rag dolled me every time I got in the water. I finally saw that the locals were diving into the waves and swimming out of the other side. So I tried that. Must have timed it wrong because the wave caught my upper body and flipped me, slamming me into the sand and washing me onto the shore. Well I took that one as "welp, I guess the ocean doesn't want me coming into this part and called it a day. Laid out on the beach the rest of the time and hoped to see some non locals do some dumb stuff like myself. Much respect to the ocean and the people that can ride it. That beach scares me, but I still love the memory.
Awesome story bro. If you ever move here, it'll be just anything else, practice makes perfect. Its like us Hawaiians learning to snowboard for the first time lol
You thought the same thing every tourist thinks. Except you were fortunate enough to not break your neck or back
yeah the kids hear are probably the biggest reason why tourists die out hear
Shorebreaks can kill.
@@treeinch252 lol I a snowboarder in Hawaii rn and I'm learning to surf it's a challenge
This reminds me of how gnarly it is at Sandy's when you get smashed and see your feet by your head lol.
hahaha and you hope that your not gonna fall on your neck!
I love Sandy Beach it's so beautiful. I can't wait to go back👏🏼☝️👍⭐🤗🎆🏄♀️❤
Even on smaller days, that spot looks deceptively calm. The regulars make it look easy, but when you actually get in the water, it's just chaos. Tons of water moving around, current like you wouldn't believe, and surprise sets that make you wish you just stayed on shore.
Fun chaos. 😁
Bad combination that day: Double swell plus big time backwash. Not my favorite conditions. (I spent ~1800 hours in the water there.) Thanks for the post, Micah. This kine vid is enough to make even the locals cringe.
No worries! Respect to anyone who went out that day
Do people still surf that shallow reef spot a little north? That always struck me as the type of wave that might disappear due to artificial erosion and stuff
@@foonatt No I think it breaks further out. Best bet is to stick to where most of the surfers are.
Awesome.
This was my childhood beach growing up in the 80’s, and I can’t believe my parents let me into that surf as a 10 year old. Nearly died a few times, and always went back in.
Defyant.... If your PARENT'S hadn't.... You would of told a different story.... They allowed you to Experience all the curve balls life throws Us... HUG THE ONE'S YOU LOVE... YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS...🤙🌟❤🤙🌟❤ TOMORROW ISN'T GUARANTEED 🤙🌟❤🤙🌟❤🤙🌟❤🤙🌟❤
🤙I grew up on nearby Portlock Rd looking across to see Diamond Head. My favorite nearby body surfing beaches were Sandy and Makapu'u. Sandy, of course, is really exciting and can be really dangerous because the waves are driven by the trade winds and can break in shallow water (2 feet)! One time I landed on my head. Awe! I got our and went to Queen's Hospital where a body surfer doctor felt my neck and with a hand on my chin and my neck twisted my neck. I heard a loud pop and my vision disappeared momentarily but seemed forever. The doctor told me I almost died! I'm now 85 living in Bend. Oregon, and have yet to grow up.
Haha me too but the 90’s 😂🤙🏽
@KieferTobin Aloha! I still live about 5 minutes from Sandys up on Lunalilo Home Road and I go as often as I can. Glad to hear you are in good health. I too will never grow up! I'm only 40 but I feel like 20! Anyway, just thought I'd send some Aloha your way. Have a good one uncle 🤙
Same. Literally like minutes away from drowning but it was always fun to go there
My 3 brothers and I visited this beach back in the 1970's on a visit from Minnesota. Every wave crushed us - pummeled us into the sand. We were all to young to realize how dangerous it was. After a few hours, we collapsed on the beach exhausted. Love that memory, love that beach and love Oahu.
it has such a deceptively safe name.
they also call it "Broke Neck Beach"
It’s safe if you know what you doing😂
@@crazyhawyn3610 if
Probably because like the north shore once you get thrashed your pockets, ears and everything else gets filled with sand.
60's, 70's, no problem, that's when l used to hang out there. Nowadays, you might see me sitting on the beach, reminiscing.
Good times!! Much respect for paving the way for everyone out there 🤙
@@MicahsSurfVideos Thanks for that, but looking back, I was just a wanna be. But l had fun, Mokapuu and Sandy, best days of my life. Love your videos
I’m 77 going on 78, and haven’t body surfed seriously since I left SoCal in 1994 for the Bay Area (to far away to commute for body surf, still working full time as attorney.) I WOULD DEFINITELY FOR SURE ABSOLUTELY BE OUT THERE! This is the hottest surf since Aliso Beach Laguna where I used to live; far more predictable than the Wedge, which I also surfed. GO FOR IT DUDES!
Hell yeah! Thanks for sharing and keeping the stoke alive! Never too old to charge it 🤙
Gotta add that the best stuff to body slam will not only pull off your fins-even with the usual “leash”-but will also pull your trunks off. When that happens, you been body slamming!
This brings back both good and bad memories...I got "pantsed" by one of those gnarly waves, luckily I still had boxers on underneath. I had to go to the closest surf shop with a towel wrapped around my waist to get new board shorts. I never could make it past that first set of waves, and took it as a sign to stop trying after the beach consumed my shorts and spit me out.
Insane! I no can!
I was there last year from morning to noon. It was rough but not this rough and I didn't have a board. Much respect to these guys.
It was a windy day! Always respect to these guys, charging this gnarly wave is way harder than it looks!
Man can't wait to go back to hawaii and go body surfing @ Sandy Beach. It's been to damn long. I Remember when my dad first brought me there. I was fricking scared as hell, cause of the big waves. But if you get the hang of it one time, you can't get enough of it....
There's so much power in that wave, it's a rush every-time!
Liked your comment. Last year Sandy Beach was a first for me and my son. I can see my son commenting this in the near future. He was 2 yrs old but I kept him on the very end of the beach but was still getting hit by the waves lol
@@chagOwwuUUu don’t take your kids sandy’s beach bro
@@chagOwwuUUu not in the future to swim at least
@@chagOwwuUUu ur kid was 2 and u let him go out to sandys bro why i almost broke by neck there so many times and the waves r super heavy and its strong and straight onto sand and theres ripcurrents that go straight into blowholes
Unko in the orange bodysurfing get action! Props to him dropping in on that first wave! Chee!
True! You can tell he rushes Sandies a lot, he kills it!
Brah that was a clinic on barrel riding. Saved himself with his fins locked in and made it look easy. 🤙🏽chee he's a rippa
Decades ago, when the world was young, I almost drowned here. No lifeguards. A similar sized shore break.
Same but there was lifeguards that saved me
I lived there in1975, was on this beach two or three times a week. That place can be brutal. Don’t go in here unless you are in really good shape, have great swimming skills and can hold your breath for a long time. Shore breakers, they will spit you off the top of the wave if you are unlucky you will land head first and break you neck, then you can’t swim and you drown. Lots of people injured and killed on this beach.
My brother and used to body surf here in 1966. The first time it was stormy and there were 4 military guys out there and they were drunk. While going home we heard on the radio that they had drowned. I was just 9 and my brother was 14 and that was difficult for us to accept. We also realized how important safety is and looking out for oneanother is.
I almost drowned there too. It’s ridiculous how powerful the riptides are
@@JaFeelMeBro
They finally put signs up and there's life guards on duty as well but when the conditions are right NO one should get into that water. I have seen it pull people that were standing up on the higher part of the beach and when the wave break washed up around their ankles it would actually pull them into the water as it retreated back .
But it's some of the best body surfing/ surfing in the world !
I've body surfed here with family/locals. They made me sit and watch for a good 45 minutes before even attempting to get in the water. Let's just say I'm glad they did because this place can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I learned a lot of HARD lessons at Sandy's lol
This beach is so fun! The locals rip!
I’ve been hit by some big waves that had me spinning around in the water. Thankfully the water was pretty deep, I heard these waters are really shallow where the wave breaks so when u spin more of a chance to break ur neck
when its big it breaks farther out so its deeper but the wave itself is super dangerous i almost broke my neck a few times going out in the bigger swells at sandys but thats not the worst part another thing u gotta worry about is the mean ripcurrent that pulls out and pulls into the blowholes
Gret day at Sandy Beach! I grew up on nearby Portlock Road and surfed Sandy for many years. But Sandy is rarely this big. I'm now 85 and living in central Oregon now, but I sure enjoyed Sandy especially on those days the surf was this high.
I miss home so bad! I grew up here wit’ duck feet and McDonalds tray! HUI!!!
I surfed Sandys for seven years- back in my day, one thanksgiving day was storm surf, rain horizontal, no one there except me, I went out and fought for nearly half an hour to get back in - this stuff, easy brah, good fun! Stand in the tube and yell! So Righteous!
Charge em! Respect brotha, Thanks for sharing!
Goooooing!
Short and long answer - NO!!! I like my spine the way it is
Thats why I'm on the beach filming 😎
AWESOME VIDEO! And NO! I would not go out! It looks like suicide! We went there as kids when we lived there in '69. We had fun just letting the shore break propel us up the sand like a catapult!
I almost drowned last year there. Be careful and don’t go out farther than the surfers
All day, every day. Miss Sandies sooo much!
Charge em! Hope you get out there soon 🙏
ate plenty sand on days like this✌❤🤗
The whole summer of 1994 was epic at sandy's! 2-4 feet super glassy every week
There's been better conditions. I've had my back cracking days here before. Aloha & PTL!
went there as a kid it was the most fun I've ever had on a beach
A little to sloppy for me, size is not too bad but the conditions aren't great...
All my surfing was done in 50's and early 60's.
I was there in my 20’s, thought I was tough, got wiped out, left and went to makapu beach right after. 😂
Maybe you would go out, choppy, no? Backwash double-up close-out with blown conditions. The guy in orange is ripping though, despite the washing machine action.
i like backwash it makes the wave more fun
and sometimes the double is good because when u get pounded u land on the double and not straight sand
Bombing that day!!!! 🤙🏻
Biggest I ever saw it! ☠
We used to go there once in a while in the mid 80s and a friend of mine blew his shoulder out 10 minutes after we arrived and ended his visit on Oahu! My only struggle that day was a current that tried sucking me over in front of the rocks on the right side of the beach. It was probably 3 - 5 feet but powerful as HELL!!!!!!! I preferred surfing not getting Annihilated into the Sand!
If i was 20 yrs younger....i still wouldn't go lol.
edit: 2:50 i'd be that guy :0)
Me too brotha! Thats why I filmed 😂
Some strong body surfers out there.
was there around 5 years ago....talked to a local in honolulu that said her kids would go there after school. She called it breakneck beach...appropriate.
Absolutely!! Why not! Big ol Stormy Closeouts
You know what's up!! 😎😎
@@MicahsSurfVideos I would bodyboard it, and try to pick a big one off on the outside during low tide. I wouldn't sit in the neck breaker, double up, backwash section. Lol
Maybe 40 years ago with the Great People such as Mark Takamura at my Side..... 🌟🤙🌟❤MY HEART IS GOING OVER 1000 BEATS A MIN, KEEP TELLING MYSELF TO BREATHE🌟🤙🌟The BESTEST - Yes there is a word like that, I made it Up...... The Blow hole in the Background is ❤🌟🤙❤🌟🤙❤🌟🤙MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE❤🌟🤙🌟❤ Mahalo
Top o doido.
2:20 smart guy
Yes next question
Dude in the orange got a couple of nice rides!
He's a really good bodysurfer
I've seen days when it was big and glassy, current not so bad, fun to surf. This video was kind of a ruff day for surfing. But the locals know the spot really well and make safer decisions than your average swimmers.
yew! that's some proper Sandys
Kai Santos is da man, proof in da pudding on tape right here.
Chee Barry in the red jersey charging the bombs. Get um champ. These other amateurs don’t know you can’t late takeoff safely with this kine size
Barry was killing it! Thanks for the comment. Hope you get some good ones 🤙
brahhh i would be fawkin IN DEA BOYEEEEE! nah nah nah idunno if can still handle dat kine stuff, i burn waaay to much these days lol
Been there done that. Never again. Strong swimmer but I got pulled out and almost panicked. Had to be carried off after muscling my way back. Very humbling place. Came back 2 years later and the water was calm. Put one foot in and then seemed to start forming. I'm like....nope.
awesome beach, had a great time here
Glad you did, did you surf?
@@MicahsSurfVideos no, bodysurfed it!! Would love to go back :)
Sounds like a good time! 🤙
There were a few times when I went there in the 80's that I ended up at the golf course nearby 🙃
I’ve been here.This is in O’ahu, Hawaii.These waves get really scary sometimes
If that's big den, don't go there in 2003. 30ft wavez. Probably better off going walls
Highest rate of broken necks and backs in the nation 🤙
I like Sandy Beach. I have been there for several times. I took buses to there. I would visit you Sandy Beach soon or later. I used bus passes travel Sandy Beach. My belongings placed on the sands, then I jumped into the water and swam.
Thanks for sharing! It's a great place 🤙
Like a giant washing machine
10/10 have paddled out....
Been here many when younger. Here you get pounded for sure. Saw som older dudes got pulled out when getting their feet wet, that was scary.
I have fond memories of sandy beach and body surfing. The only place I can remember being Body slammed into the sand while riding a wave (multiple times). About 13 y/o and about 1980. In hindsight, surprised I wasn’t drowned. Wouldn’t even dream of getting in the water today.
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing 🤙
I loved bodyboarding there.
Maybe ill someday have a clip of you sending it out there!
Yes....I Would Go Out....
Yes but I’ll bet I’d be soar in the morning! Looks like a lot of “moving water” for Sandy’s. Was Half Point washed out?
It was haha, no one was charging out there. Don't know about full point but it probably was too blown out 🤙
Totally out of control....haha....yeaaahhhh
It was crazy!
Yeah
Nope. I was here Feb 2nd-14th - month and a half ago. This beach is super sketchy. I could tell the only ones playing in the shore break were local to the island. In person its even more intimidating. This video surely doesn't do it justice.
Last time I was there, a day not near as nasty as that, the lifeguards were strongly suggesting we tourists not go in the water. Disappointed, off we went up the coast for calmer waters. Earlier in the trip and on a calmer day I thought it would be interesting to get beyond the shore break, found myself heading with the current towards the rocks to the west... took everything I had to get back to the shore, that and a huge early breaking wave.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you got to experience it! 🤙
I did this here when I was 16 years old. It was amazing. I tried to boogey board it at first but it is so hard to paddle out against the waves with the board that you end up leaving the board and just body surfing it. You are constantly pounded into the sand which knocks the air out of you while you are under water. Kind of scary, but once you get the hang of it you can’t stop. It kind of reminds me of kill the man with the ball with a dog pile at the end. Hawaii is definitely a water sport haven. If you are a surfer you have to go.
It's always a good adrenaline rush without getting hurt (most of the time). Thanks for sharing!
I know about that game. Oh it's a lot fun getting the guy and going for the ball. The bad part was when they could have got the ball they didn't. They just dog piled. I think I had abot half the weight of ten or twelne guys all on my head. I quit that game. And quik
Use to bodyboard here in the mid 90s. Miss it :(
Respect! It's always a fun sesh out there 🤙 what made you stop going?
I was a military kid growing up. We got stationed at Pearl Harbor from 1992 to 1997. I was in my teens at the time. While there I picked up surfing/bodyboarding. For five years I got to surf/bodyboard legendary breaks like pipe sunset, waimea shorebreak, Sandy's, Chuns, Makaha, Ala Moana bowls ect. Then got stationed on the east coast. Not a day go by I don't reminisce about them times.
One time I lost my goggles in there. That was my first and last time I went to Sandy's
Nope lol I like to enjoy taking pictures instead 😂
1:22 my hero. Who is that?
I wish I knew! He needs to be known
Hell ya id go out
Charge em!
gzz i see why its called break neck beach now
I think this video is where the term “rekt” originated. Holy cowabunga.
I was there yesterday and was afraid to even dip my toe in the water…
😂😂
The bodysurfer in the Orange is Kai k Santos Hawaiianline International rider🎉🎉🎉
No, I wouldn't go out unless I was in the mood for a drowning.
Genuinely curious, but once you want to, how do you get out of that?
This looks like the crappiest spot in the islands.Does it ever break with shape?
Yea this is Sandy’s It’s just blown out
Sandy Beach was too sandy for my taste some years back. You get sand, and lots of it everywhere. So far so no worries, but I got also sand in my ears that even after some weeks stayed there, I had to go to an ear doc to get the channels washed out. If you ask me "was it worse the trouble" I still give you a "yes, absolutely!"
You're a true charger! Thanks for sharing 🤙
Me and my friend nearly lost our lives here in 2015
Glad you guys survived! Was it a big swell?
I would go. 20 years ago when I was 30🤙
Haha you'd be feeling it for months! ☠
Absolutely LOL I am land locked in Vegas. I body surfed a 4’ day in Carlsbad last summer just a bout killed me. Sore for a week🤙
I miss that washing machine..drown every wave you rush but the rush is a natural high..can’t wait to go back sandys but north shore is we’re it’s at
Exactly! Summer swells should bring some good days over there! Where do you surf @ north shore?
@@MicahsSurfVideos my go to was back doors, log cabin , off the walls, pounders , v land ..goat island but long paddle
@@ralphyye1379 man! Those are some heavy spots! You must be really good! Never tried Goat Island but I heard good things about it on the right winds. Aloha!
@@MicahsSurfVideos yup on the good days goat is action.downfall long paddle but worth it on the right day...be back soon. aloha my brudah
Sure would
How come you never show half point or generals???all you gotta do is pan left a little
I remember pulling a Japanese tourist out of the waves. This big wave spiked him, he was dead. The back of his neck looked like a Vertebrae had been taken out then put back sideways:( The ambulance came screaming up, they checked him then the 2 EMT's lit up cigarettes put him inside then proceeded to flirt with ladies. DOA
Wow SAD story!
I can't believe I went into that water without a board or flippers or anything. I was young and stupid.
I swam there on vacation in 2016 and got fucked up. The lifeguard dude kicked us out lmao
😂😂😂
I went out. Scary shit
When I went they had advisory signs saying not to go in the water because it was way too gnarly
They call it Broke neck beach for a reason ☠ thanks for sharing 🤙
Short answer: No
Long answer: Hell no.
Hahaha good answer!
Been out bigger then that.It was breaking from outside and closing out. 🤙👍
Dayum! Hopefully there's gonna be more huge days like these this summer 🤙
Liked your vid Michah 🤙
Thank you! I'm waiting for another big south swell so I can film again
Those waves were closing out way too fast!!!
Its all about seeing the chandelier 😁
I remember almost drowning here
looks like a good alternate to the Newport Wedge
hop in
its way harder
Eddie would go.
i already went and nothing happened to me i went far in the water with the big waves and everything nothing happened to me
Nice!! Did you catch any good ones?
That's makas lok
