The video didn't really capture the first coconut that was launched and it went double the height of the second. Apparently it can get even more pressure in the tube on certain tides to what we witnessed. Hey Steve, It certainly did give off a lot of power.

That blowhole looks like it gives off a lot of power. I bet it could send one of those coconuts pretty far too. You're probably right that the coconut man has been doing it and knows when the best time to do it is. That’s a fun video clip. That blowhole looks like it gives off a lot of power.

The beauty of the place was, that this wasn't the only blowhole, and there were many dotted along this jagged piece of coastline. It was by far the biggest though.The coconut man was a classic, and gave me a great old laugh. He was quite the character as well. Thanks for stopping by mate...

I've seen a couple blowholes around the world, but none that a guy would throw coconuts into, how cool! Impressive how impeccable his timing is. Great video clip Jason.

Your right mate, I was a little parinoid with the salt spray everywhere, but did cover it up.I've seen many blowholes around the world but none that have been formed in lava tubes. When we arived I thought, 'oh yeah just another one of these', but I was actualy quite impressed with them.The coconut man was a classic, and don't worry about him to much, he's doing just fine and making a good living at his craft. I'm not sure of the history of it, but apparently if you dont do it right the cocnuts can come out at funny angles. Thnaks for the comment mate, apreciated as always.

It is hard to make out on the video clip due to the wind, but the sound was quite load as well. Hiring a car was very reasonable and I feel the best way to see the islands.

Not a bad job, so long as you have good hand to eye coordination! Great to see you put that 7D to the test here, how’s the water proofing ;)
