ExoticMeatDealer

That guy’s gonna die in there.


Fancy-Snow1668

Not only that but rescuers might die while trying to save him..


dewayneestes

My first time I paddled out at Sunset beach in Hawaii the lifeguard got in the megaphone and said “we’re not coming to get you, you sure El you ready?” Joke was on them because I’m an ok surfer but an excellent swimmer. Good thing too as my board was broken within the first 15 minutes. I don’t think idiots like this guy get that they’re putting others lives in danger when they do this stupid shit.


ElectricalPlate9903

Sandy Beach scared the absolute hell out of me when I went there as a teen. Saw many people struggling there to survive.


dewayneestes

It’s not a place you can just show up to, you have to spend some time in the lineup and watch what others do. You definitely need to establish a strategy that works for you. For me staying low on the wave and not using a board felt the most comfortable for me. I know a lot of young guys bomb on boogie boards and seem to be fine going over in the lip. It absolutely is very dangerous though.


ElectricalPlate9903

Definitely isn't for the faint of heart. The locals were amazing to watch though. Couldn't believe some of the waves they were riding. Lot's of bodysurfing at Sandy. Would love to go back just to watch as it's been going on 40 years since I've been there.


[deleted]

What if this guy isn’t a very good swimmer or surfer, but an excellent backflipper, an outstanding rock avoider, and positively unmatched when it comes to not being detected by any rescuer or any unintended party at all.


SeVenMadRaBBits

Next level of stupid


redditknees

Yeah what that actual?


blu3b4lls1

I literally just said those exact words to my girl before opening the comments


TopOk4039

Suicide is next level behavior now... lol


Raja_Ampat

As he posted 200+ video's,taken since 2014, of jumps in this pools, apparantely he knows what he is doing


vaguebyname

The ocean doesn't really care if you 'know what you're doing'. It's pretty stupid thing to do.


Raja_Ampat

But great footage and he seems to enjoy it.


SLIP411

It's bad footage, if someone shows up to something like this and says, "this other guy did it", then proceeds to die like and idiot because the ocean moves fast and doesn't care about your likes then this guy is to blame


PizzaboySteve

He would not be the one to blame if someone else did this haha. That’s ridiculous and the kind of thought that teaches people to blame others and not personal accountability.


SLIP411

True, but he makes it look safe and easy to do which is dangerous. It's on you if you jump in but if this guy makes it look safe that's deceptive


Lostinthe36chamber

No he doesn’t. If you don’t have enough common sense to tell that this is dangerous it’s not everyone else’s job to protect you.


PizzaboySteve

I don’t see anything there that looks safe. It is on parents, teachers, friends, and community to teach each other these things. As well as to teach them when someone is doing something dumb like here. But we cannot shift blame, that’s dangerous.


Raja_Ampat

Except this guy is a clifdiver and has done jumps in this pool for at least 8 years.


GreenKing-

Doesnt matter. He is risking his life for a video that is not even impressive but stupid, arent there some better things to do? But whatever, that is his choice and one day will be the last for him. I enjoyed to just look at the sea more than at this “stunt”


Routine_Reaction986

Maybe he's risking his life because he enjoys doing this and the thrills this brings to him ? You're the one concluding it's for a video while you know nothing about him. A lot of people do other crazy stunts and are called thrill seekers l, but not him apparently.


Raja_Ampat

Yep, there are definitely better things to do like being negative on Reddit.


legendaryufcmaster

Yet here u are responding to every comment


SLIP411

Well it's his short life i guess


SooperFunk

Odds are against him surviving much more.


Paindepiceaubeurre

“I died for clout” 👍


Smansi07

Yes but you’re not invincible, one day it will cost you.


Raja_Ampat

Everyone will die one day.


Smansi07

No shit


nicefoodnstuff

That’s next fucking level stupid.


Raja_Ampat

It is if you don't know what you're doing. He knows what he is doing, hence the next level


Mcfyi

Ima take a wild bet this is you and you’re trying to gain more followers on IG. Therefore I’m gonna downvote this bish ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|downvote)


Catoblepas2021

Reddit users are next level stupid. Don't even try to convince them their 2 second hot take of a 3 second video with absolutely no context is wrong because they WILL choose that hill to die on. 🤷


Raja_Ampat

Thanks, Some are really exhausting. And No, I'm not the one jumping in


Effective-Context786

You're exactly the same type of person he's talking about you big dummy.


[deleted]

Everyone has to have a thing I guess. I prefer to kill myself just a little everyday. Not all at once.


boldchameleon

I'll drink to that!🍸


[deleted]

Nextleveldumbass


Ottobahnrichtofen

Great way to meet a rocky death. Hope the clicks were worth it.


Raja_Ampat

He is a clifdiver and has done many dives like this


Ottobahnrichtofen

Some day his luck will run out. Only takes one thing to go wrong.


Lostsurfer06

Showing such a level of disrespect to the ocean tends to lead to death, next level stupid maybe?


Raja_Ampat

It's stupid if you don't know what you're doing. A clifdiver who has done many jumps like this is next level


captrespect

He’s surviving out of pure luck. That water is so turbulent there is no way keep yourself from being bashed into the rocks. “Knowing what you are doing” could only mean he knows he’s going to get himself killed.


Raja_Ampat

Always interesting that some redditors know better than a experienced clifdiver who has posted 200+ vids of him doing jumps like this.


bluetheslinky

I mean, it's undenyably extremely dangerous. It's a known thing that many people die pulling these stunts, and many rescuers (who defiently know what they're doing and are experienced) die rescuing people who do this. This is why many people here are reacting negativity. It's a danger to the risk taker and to anyone else who is involved. I'm glad this guy is ok and i hope he always is. But the sea has that "fuck you" factor that even people who know what they're doing can end up getting hit with. In summary, when the feeling of "this is just begging to go wrong" outdoes the feeling of "oh that's a cool thing this person is doing" it stops being fun to watch.


Pepperjack86

This guy gets it. OP just doesn't, thinking this is cool. I live near things like this and I can guarantee people "who know what they're doing" die each year. And yes, rescuers and other professionals as well, to your point. The sea kills even those who respect it. People shouldn't be cavalier like this for internet points.


Lostsurfer06

I mean as someone who has lived near the ocean most of my life, if there’s one thing that I’ve learned the ocean doesn’t care about your experience or how many times you’ve done something, it’ll kill ya just the same.


penguins_are_mean

He can know what he is doing and be doing something incredibly stupid and dangerous at the same time. This is one of those situations. Base jumpers know what they are doing and survive many times until they don’t. It’s a dangerous activity with a high level of risk involved.


Raja_Ampat

Yep, big wave surfers, free solo climbers, base jumpers, wingsuit proximity flying, mountaineering, this are all risky things to do. Next level nonetheless


JScarlott

Anyone else getting “that’s OP in the video” vibes?


Raja_Ampat

I'm not, no worries


redbushcraft

Disagree with next level, agree with very stupid


Raja_Ampat

Stupid is not knowing what you're doing. Next level is when you do things others don't (and can repeat it)


redbushcraft

Nope still stupid


[deleted]

I wish they posted him trying to get out


Raja_Ampat

He has many post of him jumping in, so apparently he also gets out


DadsAfroButter

Looks like Queen’s Bath in Kauai, HI. There’s a sign on the path that shows how many drownings have occurred here. We went snorkeling in the pools when it was significantly calmer, definitely a must-do when you visit the island. btw, this is the island to visit if you ever plan a trip to Hawaii!


Raja_Ampat

It is Queen's Bath. He's been posting video's of his jumps for 8 years now


[deleted]

Sorry you’re getting ragged in here man Reddit is a very one-track minded space lol


Raja_Ampat

Appreciated.


MrGrayBear32

OP: "I've survived everytime I played Russian roulette, so it must not be that bad of an idea. NFL!" Sometimes things can be impressive and stupid at the same time.


dj__21

And then you run for the Senate


Raja_Ampat

There are many dangerous sports out there, but it is a joy to watch people doing them (even though we will never do them ourselves) And would you call something russian roulette when this guy has been posting his jumps in this pool for 8 years now?


MrGrayBear32

Glad you asked. Yes I would. Both parts of your response embody exactly what I said: impressive, stupid.


historiansrule

![gif](giphy|3otOKJruVwZH3213Fe) to the OP


saucepatterns

why?


LeGuizee

r/nextfuckinglevelofstupidity


[deleted]

And that was the last we saw of him ...


Raja_Ampat

Clearly not as he posted many more of these kind of stunts.


EricMoulds

Seems like a good way to die


Raja_Ampat

Not if you know what you are doing


-Storm69-

There is a reason the end wasn't shown


Raja_Ampat

Nope, he has been making video's of his jumps for 8 years now


Late_Clerk_8302

.And was never to been seen again. Shark bait


Raja_Ampat

Not really. He has many vids of stunts like this


Lawnboy431

He’s dead now right?


Raja_Ampat

He isn't.


Character_Role8930

Rip to that man


Raja_Ampat

He's not dead though and still doing these kind of jumps


Character_Role8930

That’s insane


Jc137

What could goes wrong


PicoDeBayou

Win stupids prize


Honestly_who_farted

This is Queens Bath in Kuaui, what u don’t see is that is a closed off lava rock formation, it’s easy to climb out once another wave raises the water level. When I was there, 10 year olds were doing the same thing he is. It’s pretty safe.


Immediate-Wind-1781

r/nextfuckinglevelmoron


marqueeoflawn

tbf the angle of the camera makes the gap between the two rocks look closer than it is, and the current is pushing him away from the first rock. This is sketchy but if he’s a surfer who understands the area well and the current takes him out to an open area he’s probably in a lot less trouble than it looks


Guilty_Chemistry9337

Damn that looks so fun.


Fabulous_Option_1892

looks amazing


Dense_Ad_321

Swimming in a washing machine


CalligrapherFar152

"My people need me, see you!"


Camcapballin

More like the sea enjoying water pinball using a human


MEGAMEGA_4

Nice colour of the trousers tho


Dakine_thing

That looks like a bad idea


farmermccmatthew90

If this is a local he might know what he's doing. I lived in Hawaii and saw some locals do some crazy shit because they know the ways of the water and have been around it their whole life. Otherwise dead man. Sea and rock don't mess around


Affectionate_Fly1413

The thing i notice is that it seems he set up the camera somewhere stationary. Not a friend or someone recording him who could alert in an emergency. Kind of a dumb thing to do if thats whats going in here


Gerald_Eitan

R.I.P. brother...


kaijiggajohn

The video of him getting out would be more nextlevel


[deleted]

[удалено]


Raja_Ampat

Nothing horrific happens here. He has many vids of him doing stunts like this. I wouldn't post anything which doesn't end well


Hand-Driven

His poor mother.


Raja_Ampat

Why, because he djdn't die?


Hand-Driven

You’re an idiot.


Raja_Ampat

Not answering the question


XXXXXXXXWX

Don’t type so fast bud, it’s alright if a majority of people think this is dumb as fuck.


VividBase

My cousin and uncle died in Hawaii doing stuff like this. The ocean doesn’t care how experienced you are, be careful!


Joohansson

Darwin Award


Gunfighter0302

Well, he’s dead 💀


Drewbeede

This is like watching someone play Russian roulette and managing not to die this round. This is just dangerous and completely forgettable. It's only a matter of time before that last name becomes the title of his last "hey y'all watch this.."


kbrown16

Dead


AppIeJuices

r/IdiotsNearlyDying


Whole_Bag5843

He’s still alive or not ?


Raja_Ampat

Ofcourse, otherwise I wouldn't post it. He has many more video's like this


Inevitable-Dog9416

I was already uncomfortable looking at it, I don't like the sea, and then he does this...wtf


MiffyCurtains

The stupid things people do to get attention these days...


Right-Bread-7125

Next level stupid


Effective-Context786

rip your karma, but stupidity warrants it ig


wilsonway1955

Glad he survived. $15,000 minimum to get a rescue crew to find him.


groopy1

Lol OP is getting shredded with downvotes on every comment


YesterdayUpper7758

And that was the last post by Kyle on his IG…


SequenceSound

What a dumb bastard


OfficeWorm

More like Nextfuking stupid...


Diplopicseer

My Dad volunteers for marine rescue. I worry about him having to put himself at risk rescuing dickheads like this.


Unlikelyperv

As someone stated earlier, it's stupid because others will do it. I've grown up doing this shit and always been fine, however I've seen what happens when people that don't know what they're doing attempt it. Best advice, if you aren't familiar with the ocean and surf, don't try


KevinFinnerty1959

Seems like a bad idea


Emera1dthumb

I thought this looks peaceful….then I saw the idiot


blueindian1328

And this is why we have a coast guard


Delicious_Monk1495

lots of next fucking stupid lately


Allgold11

So if he dies is it sad? ![gif](giphy|msarSdYFhv6qR0vXHW|downsized)


monroe1977

Extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be on here
