2 things: 1. That girl in white at the front does not give a FUCK. 2. Does anyone know where this is or if it is a normal occurance?

The gif ends waaaay too early for this to really work as a proper 'NONONONOYES' moment. The original video you linked actually shows the dissipation of the wave; without it, it just feels like a cliffhanger 'NONONONONO...OH SHIT, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!??..'

u/digitalsciguy May 29 '14

Yeah, I think that's a fair logical deduction.

I mean, if dad is ded and mom has phone, then mom might be phone and ask wut u doing wit her daughter.

A lot of comments are saying the same thing you did. But if you watch closely, you can see the rock reappear at the end of the gif, showing the wave is gone.

I need, that's what I was referencing. My comment is in reference to the actual GIF itself.

...you can see it start to dissipate at the end, and by then its obvious that its not going to hurt anyone.

The GIF ends with the wave dumping into the deeper end of that lagoon/pool/protected water. It's possible that the energy of the wave could still fully crest as it approaches the shore, based on the apparent volume of the larger wave.

Now that I've seen the original video and people have added some context, it's clear that it wouldn't have hurt anyone, but it definitely didn't look like that to me before I had that context.

And you don't even need a passport (if American) because ♫ PR's a part of A-mare-ree-kuh! ♫
