Indonesia River Surfing - Seven Ghosts

A real surfers paradise has been discovered in Indonesia, and it's not at the beach, it's a tidal bore down a river.

Unexpected, breathtaking, unrivalled... three words to describe the recent surf spot discovery by the Rip Curl Team members within the raw beauty of Indonesia's islands.

What made this latest wave discovery so interesting and fascinating is that it was not located on a coastline, or island shore but rather in the deep jungles river with a tidal bore so powerful that it produces breakers up to 8- 10 feet in height! Tidal bores usually produce small, insignificant mushy waves, thus making this discovery a truly remarkable phenomenon.

Tom Curren, a former three time World Surfing Champion and a member of team scouring the world's beaches for the perfect wave says that the find in Indonesia was "Our biggest score in twenty years of exploring" The soft- spoken Surfing Icon has never been the type to boast of his accomplishments, so his stories on the latest surf find on Indonesia had all surfing enthusiasts reeling for more information, images and news! The new surfing spot was named "Seven Ghosts" after a nearby jungle village.

What so stunning and fascinating about "Seven Ghosts" is that it's coffee- colored rollers break from top to bottom, this pattern is somewhat similar to the beautiful hollow breakers that run over coral reefs. Watching the "Seven Ghost" waves is like watching a well- choreographed number, with all the symmetry never found on an ocean...yet.
