UK River Surfing

[@fnfn9199]

i really respect not giving away the location good on you

[@Cementgraytacoma]

Fernando Neto duh

[@greenster1000]

It's not the river Severn . When have you seen a video of the Severn Bore with two surfers on it?

[@greenster1000]

@Stephen Sugg I meant when have you seen a video of the Severn Bore with ONLY two surfers on it. I shot the actual video, and i know I was hundreds of miles away from the River Severn at the time!!!! (Your trash talking makes you sound like spoiled brat by the way)

[@wrybread]

Looks like a dream wave for a surfski... They love to catch little ripples like when it was petering out and passed the surfer on river left. SUP would also be fun. But these longboards are awesome too of course. Frickin awesome all around.

[@surfgal321]

I am pleasantly surprised by those waves! They actually look like fun. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@pnwsurfing]

Hahahahah You guys are awesome!

[@Minachozalde]

Amazing relaxing rides...🤙

[@gregoryhoover5875]

Not much of a wave, but damn it, you guys pulled it off and have a video to prove it - you rock!

[@ZenStock2]

Wow! Looks like fun! Wonderful job!

[@lisajoseph9640]

they have waves like this when the tide is on the turn up near lythem saint Anne's near Blackpool here in the UK

[@aidenschutte7413]

Thanks KZbin for recommending this 7 years later

[@WhatsGoodBoys]

whats? pushing the river wave?????

[@greenster1000]

Hi, the tide is pushing the wave. It's known as a a "tidal bore", see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore Cheers

[@alexanderdejaeger4885]

greenster1000 thanx bro

[@antsinmyeyes9547]

I’ve never seen a river with waves

[@dwbsurf]

What date was this shot? Doesn't look like the late September tides. Nice bit of footage mate

[@AlexMauerVlogs]

I always wanted to surf a tidal bore!!!

[@rdcmovies]

SO GLASSY, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@handre8969]

looks like so much fun!

[@guybartlett9587]

That's gotta be fun!

[@JohnHoulgate]

If it ripples, go for it!

[@harrytonge1624]

where is this ??

[@Max-yh8zt]

I bet you it's the Severn Bore, located within the tidal reaches of the River Severn.

[@castawayuk]

River Severn near Gloucester

[@greenster1000]

@dwbsurf 29th Sept on the spring tide, Cheers.

[@jackponting2817]

Maybe river Avon near Bristol we get waves like that once a year

[@willshawyer7280]

Wow so cool!

[@pantone95330]

Sweet, I would go for some big SUP board for these waves, to be sure to be able to catch them. Very clean waves !

[@halheywood3910]

howdy . .forget all the haters .way to go. .on a big long board right spot .why not . .I grew up Laguna . it's been taken over .just have fun . .

[@Markdmarque]

A real strange phenomenon 7 bore

[@dipstick8388]

Like glass

[@vilrugan]

Is that a flash flood?

[@greenster1000]

Hi Vishal , the tide is pushing the wave. It's known as a a "tidal bore", see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore Cheers

[@MisterGreer]

greenster has this wave been revisited in the past five years? and if so was it breaking again?

[@greenster1000]

We have revisited it twice since this was shot. Both times a bust! The first time the wave was so small we didn't even notice it pass! The second time was a bit bigger, but not surfable. It's fickle for sure. Other than the size of the tide, the amount of water in the river seems to be a big factor. If it is flowing heavily, it seems to push the wave back & flatten it.

[@MisterGreer]

Pretty cool thumbs up/Severn_bore en.m.wikipedia.org

[@MisterGreer]

SimonPenny Bernard-Smith thank you cheers

[@larrykhu8253]

Old butt gold

[@dmarcodegross]

Why is that guy riding so damn close to the rocky shoreline? Why don't they just wait in the middle where that perfect wave is behind him first after the first few?

[@greenster1000]

This was the first time we had ever seen this bore, so we had no idea where it would break, or even if it would break at all, so it was all guesswork right up to the moment the waves arrived. Each subsequent attempt was further up the river and each time we had no idea where (or whether) it would break. He did get a few choice dings for hugging the river bank so closely :-)

[@matusimiu1865]

greenster1000 my question is what does make this waves on a river?

[@greenster1000]

It's a tidal bore. The wave is formed by a large incoming tide forcing water up the river. If the tide is big enough, the water going up the river forms a wave at the front. see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_bore

[@ericscaillet2232]

@@greenster1000 do you know how many waves are generated during that time or if you miss it that's it

[@greenster1000]

Hi Eric, There is only one wave moving up the river. If you miss it, that is it. However if you miss it you can then get out and drive further up the river, overtaking the wave , and trying again at a new location. That is if you can get there before the wave. It's very hectic, but tons of fun :-)

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Nice glass! That song is cOOL !!!

[@45revolut1on]

so close to the rocks, sketch!

[@greenster1000]

He paid with a few choice bruises and dings, but no real harm done :-)

[@LucasVezzani]

Maybe just some alligators lol

[@707westy]

Fuck ye-ah, that guy's riding a Stewart!

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

'not giving the location away', haha, the Severn Bore anywhere on its travels is hardly a secret spot!

[@greenster1000]

It's not the river Severn . When have you seen a video of the Seven Bore with two surfers on it? The Severn Bore is stuffed with surfers from the moment it becomes rideable, and has been for many years.

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

@@greenster1000 maybe when there's one.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH7ac56Bf9F2o6s

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

@@greenster1000 PS. Try to spell Severn properly.

[@greenster1000]

Fair go, i stand corrected. If you want to believe it's the river Severn then knock yourself out :-)

[@greenster1000]

Oh, and thanks for the spelling tips , much appreciated.

[@willshawyer7280]

What river is that?

[@michaelscurr9046]

reedy creek

[@ericscaillet2232]

So...no sharks in these water?....cool.

[@greenster1000]

No sharks, it's waaay to cold for them :-)

It's the same type of thing but a much smaller wave.

The best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun. :-)

Looks like they are surfing to me....Kelly

It's more of a philosophical outlook on life than a statement about reality. A quote from Phil Edwards i believe.

Chrome King .. that’s exactly what he meant mate ..

[@Rayblondie]

Yeah they will probably ruin it if they all come as it looks like a residential area and probably fishers wouldn't like it.
