One viewer wrote: ‘I’m sharing this not because it’s funny, but as a warning.’

The full footage begins to show two men sitting among large rocks, where crushing waves meet the shore.

The drama unfolds almost immediately as the dangerous waves begin to smash against the rocks. 

At the beginning, the filmer of the video, urges the men to stay at sea, laughing and excitedly screaming ‘yeah buddy.’

This quickly changed to ‘oh shit’ and ‘oh my god’ as the men are seen to lose control of their bodies, grabbing onto the rocks.

Finally, like he’s going down a slide, one man is washed out to sea in a matter of seconds.

The terrifying footage serves as a reminder of the danger of currents, strong waves and being swept along the rocks.
