+avroair Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 When I visited the Amazon the guide told me about the Pororoca or Endless Wave that comes each morning up the Amazon river early in the year. I was intrigued by the phenomenon called a tidal bore, so I looked it up on the internet when I got home. I forgot about until recently when I saw a documentary about some surfers who surfed it. The record is 12.5 km (he surfed for 37 minutes!) ~ it is said to be very lucky if you get dolphins swimming along side you. Sorry about the bad photos, they came from the mint. Hope you like. Quote
