Would you surf the coast at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island if there was a big swell but lava making the ocean boil?

Kauai's north shore ~
#1 ... if you don't know, the Big Island of Hawaii is the youngest in the chain of Islands hense, it's too deep for any type of waves to break. There is no shelf, no sand, no sand bars, nada, for a wave to be created. The lava is dropping off the cliffs into thousands of feet of black liquid oblivion.
The wahine should have been deep fried and eaten with Poi and sticky, white rice with chilli peppaah watah ~ stupidity comes in all shapes and sizes ~ :beer:

When the East Rift opened 3 years back, and lava reached the ocean near Isaac Hale Beach, did Pele give us a tiny reward in the form of good waves? Or do we still have to wait another 10 (or 10,000) lifetimes?

Perhaps, You and Ms. Teal should put your heads together for affirmation ~ ;)

And further more, she's quite lucky that the falling lava from the cliff didn't explode and sprinkle her blondie bits into bite sized fishing bait .....
Darwin Award in the making right there.

Speaking of falling lava bombs:

Some might say this is disrespectful.

It does look like there's a decent sized closeout at 0:45 (breaking over lava?)

Maybe I should stop posting about this because someone might try and actually do it... it was just a crazy idea and all I wanted to do was discuss it
