that would be a fun wave if there wasn't 1000000 people on it

You should see it on a busy day mate!! lol

[Poejoy]

that's kind of cool. I might take a trip to England and I've been thinking of going to the Severn area, it looks awfully pretty. And the tidal bore looks really like a fun time!

[Grommitlauncher]

Come over mate... Bore surfers are a friendly bunch....

Where is this? Gloucestershire, Between Newnham and maisemore.Also on rivers Trent, Dee, Parrett,Lune,Kent and many others. Elsewhere in the world.. Amazonia (various large bores called Pororoca) France (Mascaret) on the Gironde and Garronne rivers,Turnagain Arm in Alaska, Borneo (bore=Benak), and the big mama of them all, the Dragon in China, at Hangzhou, on the Quiantang river..recently surfed by youtube user serginholaus..check out his channel. He is the world distance surfing record holder.

@happeHacking One wave per tide for a few days around the springtides, about 10 months of the year. Biggest ones are usually around March and September...equinox tides.

I've watched a few videos of the Severn Bore. This one is my favourite. A good bore, great surfers, and superb choice of music.

Wire5858: Officially, no. The record belongs to Sergio Laus in Brazil at about 6.9 miles. Steve King's 7 mile+ ride was never officially recognised. I think there was something fishy about the way BSA withdrew their authentication of the record at a time when one of their committee wanted a shot at the record. Anyway, both rides pale into insignificance compared to what was done ilegally on the chinese bore in 07, when an unlicesenced French/Brazilian crew topped over 10 miles..then got arrested

and yes, the Maisemore weir kills the Bore. It feels bottom about 200 yards downstream and dumps (like a shorebreak), on my record run I just leaned back and bounced up the weir and it was done. For the record, I was paddlin' a Soar Valley Surf Shoe - a kayak. The front half of that boat broke off and disappeared later that year at Gwenfor Beach in Cornwall :(

[MarkEvans2009]

Wow - what a crowd, I did a 4 mile run in 1972, doubling Charlie Williams' 2 mile Guinness record of 2 miles. Then after celebrating in a Gloucester pub, repeated my ride at midnight. Was in the Guinness book for 20 years, lesson learned - if you surf 4 miles, you get to walk 4 miles back to the tent in the dark *sigh*

As the old boy next to the bank, still one of my favourite bore rides
