@JetMechMA Yes and no. Remember that THIS river bed gets scoured clean by a tsunami twice daily. I wiped out once on the Severn bore and got dragged along for a couple of hundred yards. It was smooth as silk on the bottom. Silt.
anybody know what a trunk is? guy says u have to worry about them/i scored genius on trivial pursuit on sports./but i feel like such an idiot now for 2 days never hearing of tidal bores/one in china looks like a blast/way to go greg long nssalol i remember u
@surfactor777 He's probably talking about tree trunks. That wave is fierce, and tears off big chunks from some trees, uprooting others entirely. I have heard someone describe tidal bores as "Hairball waves", because any crap floating in the river can get thrown around by it. Stay away from the banks and keep your eyes on what's ahead of you, I suppose.
THATS AMAZING/HALF HOUR/I HAVE BEEN SURFIN 40 YEARS HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF TIDAL BORES/SURFER MAG HAS TO KNOW ABOUT THESE/THEY WILL NOW/AFTER APRIL 11TH AT RIPCURL.COM
people have surfed tidal bores for like half an hour up river ^_^ It's a natural phenomenon from incredibly low tide to ultimate high, creates sometimes a 30 ft wave.

@hiiamhelene Just over an hour. The record is now held (again) by Steve King on the Severn Bore in the UK. He surfed for just over 1 hour, 7.6 miles standing, then he went prone for a while which breaks the Guiness rules, so that's the record, but he went on to surf a total of over 9 miles that day. This wave travels about twice the speed of the Severn Bore. Sergio Laus holds the record for the Araguari Pororoca (this wave) at just less than Steve's mark.
@chuckolove I'm told that there are piranhas, and like everything else, the force of the wave is enough to knock them around a little so they're running scared. A friend of mine just got back from here, and he tells me that losing the wave, waiting for the boat to come pick you up when you're over a mile from each bank with much bigger predators (Cayman, bull sharks etc) picking off injured animals is the loneliest feeling on Earth. I'm inclined to believe him.

The pororoca happens in different rivers in 3 different brazilian states it can be surfed like 50/60 times a year, it breaks to the right, left and it usually come in sets of 3 to 5 waves that can last from 15 min up to 1 hour the wave has been documented breaking with 8ft but there are stories of bigger ones depending on the bore variation and the bottom of the river. The water is clean, that colour is because of sediments from the jungle and movement on the bottom of the river
its on the Amazon river in Brazil, this wave could run for more than 25 minutes...the real hazards are the natural floating trunks which could take you down , then the underwater plants which can tanggled you under for a while... got to be prepared!
this looks great when i think of all the pounding shorebreak i have paddled through to catch some total walls, turn and get crunched, this has got to get your euphoria flowing.
It's when the tide comes in so fast that it catches the normal flow of a river off-guard, and is forced to go over the regular flow. So you have the tide going one way, and, in this case, a gigantic tide going the other. Neat stuff.

You can see how fast the spray marks are taken away after each turn - a lot of river current makes the torque on the fins different to surf a wave like this. Must be like surfing a strong rip times 10, probably a leg burner, man, I would really like to surf that before I leave this place.
@VriakII Got it one. Absolutely spot on, yes. Tidal bores are pressurised water , trapped between two currents. Normal surf science only applies to a very limited extent. Everything handles differently. Low salinity as well, so lower bouyancy.
no you fucking idiot! the wave is not mde by a fucking machine , and the water is NOT dirty. It is river water, like all the other clean river waters in the world. Learn a little about Brazil before posting something u dont know about wis ass
Tidal bores come once with every tide. But sometimes they will have trailing waves immediately behind them. Not exactly a set, and at times the trailing waves are too soft to paddle into...but that isn't usually a problem with the Pororoca.
I've wiped out several times on tidal bores. They don't let up. The current behind them is fierce, so if you're near a riverbank you CAN get worked right along the bank. But you can learn to use the current to your advantage.
@rawa05 not sure about the name, but i'm pretty sure its by Tommy Guerrero, his stuff is really similar to this so it might be him, check his music out
For sure that's a great section, but it's not at all uncommon to see tidal bores as clean as this. I think that they tend to get filmed from the same locations though, which means that those who don't surf them regularly never get to see the best of them.
I said about 50 comments ago that if I were on that wave I'd be slashing the hell out of the lip! And I'm a goofy foot! (And I'm not ragging on the guy surfing here at all...he's probably way better than me overall and I give him "props" for this ride...)
A little unnecesary, given that across the world, bore riders have respect for each others home waves.
But yeh, much bigger most of the time. Report from Sergio Laus says that this wave topped 7 metres on the face at one point this year.
For the record, the biggest the Severn has been this year is just over 2 metres. Look out for video of the Chinese bore ,which will get huge over the next couple of months.

The water is clean, not drinkable obviously, pororoca is locatedo on the amazon rivers that ends on the sea, it is a really new discovery and yet we sthill not sure about the potential of the waves. It`s been registered solid barreling 8 minutes triple overheads already, but there`s been stories about 12ft waves
It's brown because of the silt. So for me, that's only filthy if there's a lot of pollution held in the silt. I surf the Severn in the UK which is the same colour for the same reason. I've not been infected with any weird diseases so far. Dangerous...as far as the wildlife goes, best if a brazilian surfer answers that. The current following a tidal bore is beyond belief, so if your swimming isn't great..not good. The bore I surf is much heavier than any other wave of it's size
Why would you just stand there. I know when I drop in I go to work.. You can do whatever you want on that thing for more like 20 minutes. You should learn some turns and reversals That way you dont have to just stand there.
Understandable opinion, until you've spent a lot of time surfing tidal bores. Once you have , most people realise that there's no rush to get your manouevers in. The wave is still going to be around while you relax and cruise, and when you tire of that and want to throw in a few moves. When Jon Rose first surfed the Severn Bore he did something like 49 hacks off the top in 10 minutes, then he needed to get into a boat for a rest, and he's a pro surfer...the message is RELAX, BE PATIENT, ENJOY.
Woah Put the weed down bro! I am trying to say that when you get on one of those waves you cant do anything but a few cutbacks. Im just going off of what i saw in the vid. which wasn't much. I also saw a lil bit about em on tv and they said that you have to be careful with what you do because behind that wave is a bunch of debris and crap that got wash out of the river. If you think you can get as much fun out of a bore wave as you can from an ocean wave, then maybe you need some lessons bro.
No, I REALLY understand why you say that,but... There's one wave. Lose the wave and you're done surfing for the day. And staying on a wave for 10 minutes and more doesn't normally happen on any wave except tidal bores, so it's difficult to appreciate how much work your body is doing. As for what the wave offers, it depends on what banks, rocks and structures it flows over. But that means that it's likely to change character all the time. If one section is dull, just wait for the next
4 metre face. Most tidal bore surfers use non-surfing measurements because we can.. because the wave flows past objects of a known size etc. Never seen any vids of bodyboards on the Pororoca, but it happens on the french tidal bores (which they call "mascarets" and I do it on the River Severn in the UK, but they're both smaller than this. The Severn gets up to almost 3 metres at it's best.
thanks, but just to clarify, as i posted earlier -- that isn't me riding the wave, unfortunately, nor did i film it. i downloaded it a few years ago...not even sure where from. just thought it should be shared, it's such a freakish wave!
But not a record recognised by Guiness. I have heard of Salazar's ride,and while I don't doubt he did it, there are several rides in excess of Serginho Laus' official record. In 07,Patrick Audoy and Eduardo Bage surfed the Quiantang bore for over 17km. Steve King once surfed the Severn Bore for over 12 MILES, but wasn't standing all the way. But as for records,the future will be all about the chinese dragon! They are now starting to allow surfing there,when officially sanctioned.

The water is clean, not drinkable obviously, pororoca is locatedo on the amazon rivers that ends on the sea, it is a really new discovery and yet we sthill not sure about the potential of the waves. It`s been registered solid barreling 8 minutes triple overheads already, but there`s been stories about 12ft waves

How filthy is the water? and how dangorous is it? Respond please.

It's brown because of the silt. So for me, that's only filthy if there's a lot of pollution held in the silt. I surf the Severn in the UK which is the same colour for the same reason. I've not been infected with any weird diseases so far. Dangerous...as far as the wildlife goes, best if a brazilian surfer answers that. The current following a tidal bore is beyond belief, so if your swimming isn't great..not good. The bore I surf is much heavier than any other wave of it's size

You must not surf. I would give a toe to surf that everyday.

I do surf... and I think its boring to just stand on a board for 10mins. If thats what you like that's between you and your toe.
jondrethegiant 2 years ago
Why would you just stand there. I know when I drop in I go to work.. You can do whatever you want on that thing for more like 20 minutes. You should learn some turns and reversals That way you dont have to just stand there.
superdave308 2 years ago
Understandable opinion, until you've spent a lot of time surfing tidal bores. Once you have , most people realise that there's no rush to get your manouevers in. The wave is still going to be around while you relax and cruise, and when you tire of that and want to throw in a few moves. When Jon Rose first surfed the Severn Bore he did something like 49 hacks off the top in 10 minutes, then he needed to get into a boat for a rest, and he's a pro surfer...the message is RELAX, BE PATIENT, ENJOY.

Woah Put the weed down bro! I am trying to say that when you get on one of those waves you cant do anything but a few cutbacks. Im just going off of what i saw in the vid. which wasn't much. I also saw a lil bit about em on tv and they said that you have to be careful with what you do because behind that wave is a bunch of debris and crap that got wash out of the river. If you think you can get as much fun out of a bore wave as you can from an ocean wave, then maybe you need some lessons bro.
jondrethegiant 2 years ago
No, I REALLY understand why you say that,but... There's one wave. Lose the wave and you're done surfing for the day. And staying on a wave for 10 minutes and more doesn't normally happen on any wave except tidal bores, so it's difficult to appreciate how much work your body is doing. As for what the wave offers, it depends on what banks, rocks and structures it flows over. But that means that it's likely to change character all the time. If one section is dull, just wait for the next

tydee98 2 years ago
do people ever bodyboard here?
coz i'd go this.
it must mean 4 meter face because that would be a massive wave if it was 4 metre back (26ft face?)
nay
JOB2444 2 years ago
4 metre face. Most tidal bore surfers use non-surfing measurements because we can.. because the wave flows past objects of a known size etc. Never seen any vids of bodyboards on the Pororoca, but it happens on the french tidal bores (which they call "mascarets" and I do it on the River Severn in the UK, but they're both smaller than this. The Severn gets up to almost 3 metres at it's best.

Good video, but "pororoca" is not a place name. Its the Brazilian word for a tidal bore.

christof139 3 years ago
just a curious fact, the record of pororoca surfing was in 2003, when Picuruta Salazar surfed 12.5 km in 37 min
lcg3092 3 years ago
But not a record recognised by Guiness. I have heard of Salazar's ride,and while I don't doubt he did it, there are several rides in excess of Serginho Laus' official record. In 07,Patrick Audoy and Eduardo Bage surfed the Quiantang bore for over 17km. Steve King once surfed the Severn Bore for over 12 MILES, but wasn't standing all the way. But as for records,the future will be all about the chinese dragon! They are now starting to allow surfing there,when officially sanctioned.
