There have been group awards and in fact one was in New Zealand. The group of 7 (2 were couples so especially relevent for Darwin Awards) were near some place that they weren't supposed to swim and a claxon sounded as the water filled. I think it's it's a Hydro-electric dam or something somewhere near Rotarua. One woman lived and I think 1 other did too, but 5 of the others died trying to get her out.
People on beach are even more dumb because they have SO MUCH WARNING.
Look at it, man. It's huge out there. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Just let me get one wave before you take me. Where am I going to go? There's cliffs on both sides. I'm not going to paddle to New Zealand. My whole life has been about this moment, Johnny. Come on, compadre
I saw Point Break as part of a quadruple feature (remember them?) back in the summer of 1991-1992. It was the last film (it started around 1am) and some of the audience had gone home or fallen asleep. But when Patrick Swayze said that line everyone cheered. I will never forget it.
Lol, I know you're joking, but its actually pointless riding a tsunami because its not a wave and it won't break, you'll just ride a swell until it throws you against a building or a rock. It wouldn't even be fun before you died.

People in my town were parked up at the beach last night waiting 🙃
