Jaws waves (largest funnest waves in Hawaii)


In Hawaii, surfing is big but the waves are even bigger! Theses waves are known as "Jaws" waves. Most dangerous, largest waves in the world. Now the question is... Where does these waves come from? Lets go to the mountains to find our answer. Many theories come from the shape of the islands coral reefs, but many don't know about the waterfalls influence. Waterfalls send their water rushing out to sea. The water come into contact with incoming waves and the crest of the original
wave gets ahead of it's base using energy which causes the water to be pushed upward causing the two sources of water to combine into one large wave that is the most amusing wave to surf on and causing much amusment.
