A third commented, “As someone who lived in Hawaii, never underestimate the power of “small” waves. They will knock out your legs, pull you underwater, and then rip you out to see. A 5ft tall wave that’s 10ft wide weighs thousands of pounds.”
“Tragic. The sea is merciless, and this serves as a grim reminder of its power. My condolences to her loved ones,” expressed a fifth.
