I'm baffled. If this happens twice a year, how is it there are so many trees that get taken down? I get that snakes and stuff can get swept up into the water to make it dangerous, and could something be done to make it safer? If so this could be one hell of an annual surf event!

What is this music in the background with the windpipes and fiddle? Tried to Shazam it but it didn't work...

So many people die surfing at pororoca, because sometimes there is some trees surfing too. And if you surf it, you can bump into a tree.

yeah nice video! but what i dont get is why 2 surfers would choose to ride the same wave, let alone take the second wave that is smaller and has a shallower trough? had of been me i would have taken the 1st and bigger wave on my own (or at least pushed the other dude off to leave as croc fodder).

Ross - 15 years ago

wow.... quero ver a pororoca em vivo!!!

izaalmeida - 15 years ago

The pororoca is a tidal bore, with waves up to 4 meters high that travel as much as 13 kilometers inland upstream on the Amazon River. It occurs at the mouth of the river where river water meets the Atlantic Ocean.

I Beta - 15 years ago

oh nevermind- the tide but how long till a pirahna attacks u? haha

Lynn Jones - 15 years ago

This pororoca wave was covered in a great video on the Discovery channel. At a certain time of the year (spring) I think these waves make there way up the delta of the Amazon River. Surfers come there every year and they can surf for miles upstream on this strange act of nature.

Erik Batcke - 15 years ago

Yeah, I looked a couple of pages back and there was another guy talking about it. There was a documentary on Nat.geo. I guess the species of fish is related to a catfish.

Erik Batcke - 15 years ago

I heard that this river has a species of fish that swim up your pee-pee and nest in your balls. I'm not kidding; or one of those crazy you tubers always writing nasty stuff. I seriously heard that somewhere.

neilandfi - 16 years ago

This is not the longest or the biggest tidal bore. Eduardo bage and Patrick Audoy surfed the Silver Dragon in China for 17km last October. But it's not accredited by Guinness, so the official record still belongs to sergio Laus on the Mearim pororoca..respect to you guys though, cool vid. If this tidal bore is anything like the others, there will be one wave (or wave train, like in this vid) flowing upriver once with every tide for a few days either side of the spring tides on most months.

33GeAr33 - 16 years ago

thats awesome

forpd - 16 years ago

that's awesome... I wanna do that someday... it looks so relaxing, just being able to ride on and on and on, without having to stop unless you want to...

neilandfi - 17 years ago

The longest wave ever surfed according to the record books is an Amazonian Pororoca surfed in 2006 by Serginho Laus, who covered over 10km without proning or touching his board. There is an unconfirmed longest distance which is sightly longer, done by Steve King on the River Severn in April 2006 ,at over 7 miles. Both waves are awesome, and both riders are true masters of their home breaks

porque la vida puede ser maravillosa salud y buenas olas !

Rick Ruffin - 17 years ago

not to be confused with a seismic sea wave. Tsunami merely means "harbor wave" in Japanese. A Seismic Sea Wave is always earthquake-induced.

QuantumObserver - 17 years ago

bapyou - 17 years ago

(...cont) The slow-moving tidal wave moves up coasts all over the world creating in/out tides. At some locations - the Amazon River for instance - the energy of the tidal wave becomes focused, traveling up the mouth of a river, thus creating the tidal bore, or, as they say in Brazil: pororoca.

bapyou - 17 years ago

In Brazil this wave is referred to as the pororoca. In English, such phenomena are referred to as a tidal bore. As you prob. know, tides are produced primarily by the gravitational pull of the Moon. This pull creates a "bulge" of water that travels around Earth as Earth turns on it axis. The real name for this traveling bulge is the tidal wave, (NOT tsunami - that's somthng dfrnt). (cont...)

fishSA - 17 years ago

thats the amazon those waves are from a tide surge and there are little bugs that crawl into ur penis and lodge them selvs in it nasty those guys wear spedoes to stop them
