A woman narrowly escapes being dragged up by a huge wave on the North Shore–by clinging to a hammock.
Sunday afternoon, Jan. 22 at Ke Iki Beach Bungalows around 3:30 p.m., video surveillance captured a huge wave exploding off of the rock wall separating the property from the beach. The video then shows a wall of water pushing all of the lanai furniture toward the bungalows, then dragging them back toward the rock wall.
Several seconds later as the ocean water subside, the video shows a woman climbing over the rock wall the wave had just crashed into.
Greg Gerstenberger, the manager at Ke Iki Beach Bungalows, said the guest was apparently lying in a hammock just outside the rock wall.
