Would you find this boat ride scary or fun?

This past Christmas, I took a motor boat ride to the North Shore of Molokai with my siblings. On the way back, as we passed Halawa Valley, the waves started picking up, and was scary for my sisters, but I thought it was exciting and fun, like riding a roller coaster! In this video, you can watch my reactions to the waves. The waves were sometimes about 5 feet, breaking over the bow and getting the windshield wet. Occasionally we rode near the top of the wave, with it breaking off on the starboard side.

Wow Duen... after reading your question, I'm still thinking about how beautiful Molokai is. Wow.
I have been pining for the Islands ever since I first visited the Big Island in 1991.

Now... not only do you look like you're having a blast, I notice that you turn yourself away from the waves. I'm sure you know that this gives an even more intense feel with each wave. This only proves that your 'uhane belongs to the ocean and each wave that passes.

Being a water baby at heart... I would have a blast right along with you. Let me know when you're going out to the North Shore of Molokai again and I'll meet you at the pier.

Even if we just meet down at Waikiki Beach, you can say that you surfed with an actual Bunny!

Hi @bunnyphuphu Here is a 47 minute video tour of the North Shore of Molokai! In this video you can see Halawa Valley, the Molokai sea cliffs, which are the highest in the world at 4000 feet, Papaluau Falls, Wailau Valley, Pelekunu Valley, Kalaupapa Settlement, two sightings of whales; You will also see a place to camp out, and the best places to surf, albeit, only reachable by boat. The actual tour took about 6 hours.

Thank you Duen, I really enjoyed looking at the Papaluau Falls. The waves in that camping area look sweet!

Boat riding is an adventure and fun for me. It gives me the feeling of how big the world and how tinny we are. I always like to go on boat riding whenever I get time. The higher the waves the more adventurer the riding is.

Hi. I think you gave your sisters a great day out! It wasn't scary, it was exciting for them! I am a big fan of boats, and the more waves, the better! ( this is probably because I'm a Kiwi, and we love any type of adventure, even if it doesn't make sense:)). They are lucky to have a great Captain to take them out for the day!

I'm with Falcon. (I couldn't post an answer myself, so I'll leave a comment...)
Seems this was a fun adventure. The captain seems very capable and knew how to approach the waves.
Next time call me, I'd love to go!

I cannot say that I find it fun like a roller coaster ride.
I hate my small brain being shaken around.....I try to avoid it.
