Tired of normal surfing? Have you hit everything from the wave machine at your local swimming pool to the latest tsunami? How about Volcano Surfing? No, not lava surfing, but surfing the waves 20 feet from where the lava hits the ocean. Surfing in boiling hot water is the latest extreme event. picked by bernardblack 2 months ago 0 comments edit related share sports |

Twice a year, between the months of February and March, the Atlantic Ocean waters roll up the Amazon river, in Brazil, generating the longest wave on the Earth. The phenomenon, known as the Pororoca, is caused by the tides of the Atlantic Ocean wich meet the mouth of the river. This tidal bore generates waves up to 12 feet high which can last for over half an hour. picked by ubikuor 1 year ago 1 comments edit related share plime.com |
