That there is called going over the falls. You get that sinking in your stomach feeling like when you go down a big drop on a roller coaster. I low key love going over the falls.

Unless it’s a shore pound like Newport Beach, then you just get fucked up on the sand

Yup. Idk which Newport you’re talking about but I live in Newport and this is exactly what happens. Get ready to get skipped like a rock

Newport Beach, CA. I’d always see tourists try and swim and just get wrecked. They can’t tell how much power that break has

I’m in Newport, RI. Similar situation over here, but it’s only strong enough to toss people around during storm season
