first it's got these guys'n'boards sliding down some river bank into a gross mud bog. and then it cuts to vvvery far away you see this shimmering line of something coming at you and hell if i knew what it was until almost right on top of me. and then you think it's all surfers but finally there's one or two paddles waving around in the air -- SUPers representing in a mud bore, yeah!

very strange, those french (at least i think they're french ...)

Post by: shapeshifter on October 12, 2007, 01:39:16 PM: yeah, nice catch... i've heard of le mascaret, the tidal bore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore) on some river in france. also put up a link in this post (http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?topic=252.msg1796#msg1796) a while ago of a similar event on the amazon which they the call pororoca.
