  • wow fail! this is nothing compared to the waves in japan. i dont even know why americans were all like "omg! a tsunami is coming!" people should worry about japan right now not some small ass waves heading towards the u.s. ALL MY PRAYERS GO TO ALL THE VICTIMS OF THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN JAPAN.

  • It's called making fun of oneself.

  • Andrew..........Really??

  • @pilot2002010 Waves disipate over distance, I wouln't be surprized if the same wave that wiped Japan out became a small ripple in the water, considering it traveled the whole Pacific ocean.

  • These are not Tsunami waves people.... IT would've been a few long. waves like in the video in Santa Barbera bay

  • This is disrespectful man... How dare you call this stupid swell a tsunami. You want to see a tsunami, look at the videos from Japan. Look at all the devastation, then you should make a video appologizing for calling this a tsunami.

  • this is fking tight man people donate now!!!

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus did i ever mention in any way that this video wasn't about the "sheer power of the Japanese tsunami?" i was just stating what came into my mind when i watched this video YOU TWAT.

  • @oldwhaler i am suprised you appear to be such an ill informed tsunami expert :S these are tsunami waves created by the earthquake near Japan, the waves do not have to be devastating to be "tsunami" waves, it is what happens after such a strong earthquake it affects other coast lines- google it!- personally i found this video interesting to see how our world and seas act -Thanks for the vid :)

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus LOL Xd nice esplination!
