nice video. just wondering if you know where he rode the wave to from that spot?!! Because if its where i think it is the wave isnt rideable for 2 miles.

i'm not sure as it was only my second time riding the bore. Phil who rode it for the longest has been riding it for over 15 years. It may be that he had to walk back for 2 miles! sorry i'm a bit vague! i'll try and find out.

@surfactor777 Hi Surfactor. The box was a camera housing... we didn't have gopro cams until about a year later. The guy on the paddleboard... was not very happy with himself. He had too much to drink the night before and wasn't able to step on the gas when he needed to. One of the regulars,he's a big powerful guy, but he was terribly hungover. You have to remember this was only about 8.30 am and damn cold!

Excellent!

Fantastic video, just love the carnage from 4.00, that is exactly how it is on the river, carnage!

[neilandfi]

Got a rise out of you tho! lol

I surf the coast as often as possible, but this is my nearest wave. As for paddling, the regulars here are the strongest paddlers you will find just about anywhere. We paddle in a rip which is regularly well over 10 knots, and in some areas of the river you will be around 500 metres from the bank . But my serious point is that the forces at work in this wave are so different to the sea that it counts for little until you've ridden it a few times. Give it a try

After surfing for 22 Years I feel my opinion is valid, I didnt say anything untoward and If you cant take any comments dont post in a public domain!... Maybe try 'proper' surfing where you need to be able to paddle out etc ;O) and you wont be so aggro

[neilandfi]

If you knew what you were talking about, maybe that might be a worthwhile view

[takemeupthebotty]

Really sorry to say this, but I can see that if I had it to myself I'd have some fun, but that many people would suck all the fun out of it for me....Think I'll stick to the sea! thanks for the video though to save me the trip! :O)
