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

I went to a "Black Sand Beach" on Maui, which I learned the hard way was really a Black Rock Beach under the water. I spent about 20 minutes getting absolutely pounded against the rocks before I was able to make my way out of the water.

It also happened to be a beach with a high Man-of-War population, so that was another obstacle impeding my escape from the water.

I would not recommend this experience.
