Bore surfing is a very thrilling and unique experience. The power and speed of the tidal bore can far exceed beach waves.
The experienced bore surfer must also develop an understanding of the wave and the river. This leads to respect for and attachment to the bore. Knowledge of a bore's irregular form takes years of dedication and the surfer develops an intricate passion for the tides.
The sport is also very dangerous and advice should always be sought before trying it for the first time.
