20ft Tide Surge Causes TIDAL BORE in Severn River, England

Рет қаралды 191,766

Жыл бұрын

The Severn River Tidal Bore is one of the novelty wonders of the world. Multiple times a year the high tide charges in from the ocean and with a 9 meter swing it has enough momentum & strength to create a surfable wave at the front of the tide. There's a few Severn locals who have been riding this dreamer since the 1980's. The thing about a tidal wave is that it takes 6 hours, on any given day, for the tide to come in or go out or for the tide to switch. That means, technically, this wave is pushing up the river for 6 hours. All of this equates to very long rides & a lot of surfing. Absolutely above the moon to share this amazing adventure with you & to keep following my dreams of novelty waves & surfing every country in the world. Thank you for the support!! - Ben

One of the worlds worst kept secret waves that few ever actually ride - glad you are able to share this stoke

@wellybelly Жыл бұрын

Absolutely brilliant videos so far. We brits who surf are very greatful for any wave we have because they can be few and far between, even if that means dodging shopping trolleys, logs and traffic cones to ride one. The 7 bore sums up british surfers hunger for that thrill of riding a wave, even if it does look like a sewage works

@BenGravyy Жыл бұрын

Thanks !! Haha I love it

@gilbertwalker3222 Жыл бұрын

It probably was a sewage works with the amount of shit the Tories are pumping into the rivers and sea at the moment. There are spots in Cornwall and Devon that have pretty consistent, decent surf.

Spinal core injury has kept me onshore for a bit here, but I get the healing effectiveness at what level of stoke ? Watching a legend emerge and being a part of NUB Nation for my 5th consecutive year. Nuking the World on a foamy bro ??? Not even stoked. Yew !

Back in the 1970 I used to water ski on the Severn down by the first Severn Bridge, using the old ferry slipway to launch the boats. For fun two of us were going to ski the bore with the boats in front of the wave and us on the crest or behind. Sadly, me boat got engine trouble, so I didn't even make the spot. But the other guy did and rode as planned, got some great footage. We would also ski down to Bristol or up the Wye to Tintern, even did Boxing Day skis and the Ferry Boat Hotel supplied us with hot showers and hot toddies afterwards.

Gotta say you had to jump more fences and trespass more than any of the spots in the States. But considering how much you scored, definitely worth it. Nice to know there are committed wave riders all over England. The secret status to some of the spots adds to the legitimacy. Great video great people.
