Something about seeing a massive wave with trees in the background with brown water really gives off vibes I’ve only had in dreams. This is so beautiful I would love to ride this one day
Luke --- I have had ongoing dreams of a wide open island bay or river mouth with large perfect waves and the land around the water's edge is tree lined with giant Eucalyptus trees and some palms and ferns. I grew up about a mile from the beach in Los Angeles, California and it couldn't be more different than the dreams I 've had since I was a little boy. But, when I was 36 yrs old I moved to San Francisco's North Bay Area in Marin County and it has the Pacific Ocean to the West and the lower or beginning section of the North San Francisco Bay, just drive North over the Golden Gate Bridge and there you are, Sausalito, Mull Valley, San Rafael, and the land around that part of the Bay is surrounded by Bay trees, some Oak trees, some Redwoods, and - large Eucalyptus trees everywhere. No waves, but it was surreal when I moved there because I had never been there before I moved there. Except in my dreams. One more thing, as a teenager or maybe in my twenties, I had an ongoing dream for ten or twenty years that I lived with my brother, who I rarely saw and didn't get along with and we lived in a very bad neighborhood in a Latin ghetto of a city, which was very strange, and last year, my brother asked me to live with him in his four bedroom two bathroom large apartment in a very bad neiguborhood in downtown Los Angeles. 95% Latino residents, and except for a random homeless person, we are the only white people in the neighborhood. It's just like the dreams I used to have. Very, very weird. So, you never know, one day you may end up living where the dreams you've been having, are showing you.
That's insane bro. I can only imagine how you felt when your dreams became a reality, must've really messed with your mind haha. Thanks for sharing! :)
@@עיליירחמים-ב6ב --- it is really a very thing to have happen, not just once, but twice. I'm not, or at least I don't think I have any special powers but I have one time, about ten years ago, met a woman that a friend I had known all my life, over 40 yrs., said he wanted me to meet. When she and I met it was brief and I purposefully tried to be not interested in her because she is extremely beautiful and a model, Playboy Playmate, etc..., a few weeks later we met again and it was a small group, five of us, and we were in a small room of a house and when she and I spoke directly to each other the first time and looked into each other's eyes, my whole life, past lives, present and future lives flashed before my eyes and this woman had been in my life and our lives were very important and significant to each other. I knew we were not going to be married or have kids but we were supposed to be very significant to each other for a big part of our lives. Afterwards, we became very close, like a couple, for a few years and she had said she felt the same when we met, like we had known each other forever. It was very strange. The brain is a remarkable thing. The world we live in now, as we think we know it, is not what it really is. We humans have had our mental and physical and cosmic abilities supressed over the last thousand years by peoole who want total control and had to cut the links to our powers and connections betwwen the universe and one another. But little bits and pieces slip through and that's where we see things and can do things and hear things that seem crazy and or can't be explained. But they can be explained, but we aren't told the truth. Free thinking is key. Don't become a sheeple. Question everything.
@@13_13k: Based on numerous stories I have read about and heard of, that parallel your own, I have come to the firm conviction that there is indeed a universal Cosmic Mind that serves as a repository of all knowledge, as well as all history - past, present and future. On rare occasions some have had the good fortune to tap into this mysterious realm and return from it to the harsh, fictional “reality” of our shared experience here on planet earth, bewildered, inspired and enlightened. I’ve lived most of my life as a non-believer in all things supernatural. But the overwhelming evidence to the contrary has made me something of a late-in-life convert - a conversion, against my own will, kicking and fighting every inch of the way before arriving at my final destination. Oh well.
It was freaky to see trees in the background with a big wave seeming to come out of the forest! That was the cover photo of the video and it really intrigued me. In the winter in California, often, very often after a big storm, the muddy runoff from the rivers makes the ocean chocolate brown, just like in this video. That’s the kind of surfing that is not shown I’m big-time videos but that’s the real good surfing in California, generally muddy water.
that river is not dirty!! thats the natural color of the river, i live in brazil and i can say that, the color of rivers even beaches can be brown. it depends on the season or bc the sediments of the ground
Also can depend on the different micro organisms that live in the water. Sometimes our ocean water here in Long Island NY gets a brown color to it. It’s not pollution it’s just a bacteria in the water that is harmless.
I can’t explain the amount of excitement you get from seeing one in the distance and waiting to catch it, this one puts our boretide in Alaska to shame!
There is a large creek named Ballona Creek that runs through the Westside of Los Angeles that is a branch or tributary of the L.A. River system, and it flows into the Pacific Ocean alongside the Marina Del Rey inlet channel for boats. The Creek is the storm water runoff and it is parallel to the Marina channel and both are protected by a large rock breakwater wall to keep the Marina waters calm. During large swells and storms, the waves, if big enough, will break over the breakwall, which is probably fifteen feet high, and the tide will run into the creek and channel. In the creek, the sand bars grow throughout the years and it can be pretty shallow, only five or six feet in some places and then twenty feet at the most in other places which then cause the tide to kick up into a wave that is around three foot or so high and aa wide as the creek, about 100 yards from rock wall to rock wall and the waves just roll, not hollow, but you can ride a wave an eighth mile or longer sometimes. It's fun when you are a little kid and still learning to surf. It's even fun as an adult just because it is kinda rare and novel.
@@andrewferguson8032 ---- it probably was breaking in the creek at one point during this last batch of storms and big waves. I didn't get down there to the beach except to work a few days but no time to check out the surf.
@rilham2new And it is still not the pollution which get the river dirty but the soil ground of the river. From my direct observation from the town which is passed by this river in the upperstream, The water is actually quite clean.
@toasteruk Add to that ..clear with blue colouring in freshwater is not always a good thing. It can indicate the presence of copper and arsenic such as the lakes in the Snowdon Horseshoe in North Wales, or the river that runs through Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye. They look like paradise,but they are full of poison. This river, and many other tidal bore rivers are just silty.
Tom's just like "Yeah you know its nice being here and it felt like an ocean wave , but it like goes forever". meanwhile he was the first barrel and do it perfectly. LOL
Nothing compares to Surfing the Amazon, but I surfed Imperial Beach Tijuana Sloughs in chocolate barrels once. Overcast quicksilver reflection in the water on a windless dusk during an eclipse. 2004 if anyone else remembers it. Rain had made the water brown in SoCal after not raining awhile.
And one more thing, the river is so damn big. All the domestic waste from that sparsely populated village will never ever get the river so dirty. It is the waste from the city or town from the upperstream of the river. They are way too many mining and plantation activity in the upperstream. If you travel by boat to the upperstream, what you can find is that actually a dam which provide electricity (hydro-generated powerplant) to the capital city of the province.
that's the natural color of the river. it's common here, in brazil, rivers colored chocolate like. even at some beaches the color of the water are brown
@evelynsalt1212 yeah.. in the most populated city in Indonesia we got dirty rivers due to the lack of concerns :( but the color brown of this Kuala Kampar River not because it's dirty. It's already brownish but now getting darker cos of sedimentation..
TOTALLY EPIC/THAT BARREL TC GETS IS AMAZING/THOSE GUYS R SO BLESSED TO GET TO RIDE THAT SPOT/I AM SURE SLATER WILL TRY IT/CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIS FOOTAGE
Super les gars respect à vous mais ou sont les surfers si prennent une vagues sans jet ski c’est fini les amis 😢bref à l’heure de l’écologie j’ai pas l’impression que c’est dans les valeurs de ce sport salutations à tous
that shot of the line up always gets me, the sight of so many waves breaking perfectly in sync is so cool.
Such a lengthy wave 🌊
chocolate barrels
some stay hollow and others feel the pain
chocolate barrels
Feel the pain from a Staph infection or Leptospirosis?
Is that a haiku?

quite literally it is dirty, but safe
There's industrial waste in that river.
“Sediments of the ground” = dirt
No industrial in that area
CURREN. I loved watching him growing up in the 80's. Such a solid, fluid surfer with the wave. This is my style of riding. 🌊
you comparing yourself to him?
I can’t explain the amount of excitement you get from seeing one in the distance and waiting to catch it, this one puts our boretide in Alaska to shame!
Keep crying and comparing apples to oranges
@@NukeJesus bet you’ve never even surfed a boretide😝

nah, I believe it's the natural color of the river itself cuz the sediments LOL!
It isn't contaminated. Its the natural colour of the river
Sok tau
that's the natural color of the river. it's common here, in brazil, rivers colored chocolate like. even at some beaches the color of the water are brown
Some rivers are just muddy. it has more to do with soil type and river current than anything. nature makes things dirty too dude.
Amazing power!!!
Hey Tom, why so serious? Didn't crack a smile once.
The alligator's name living in the area is also Bono
I really like this video 🥺. What incredible Bono!!!

Wow! Tom Curran really aged! He is almost unrecognizable. I remember TC as a surf sensation in the early and mid 80's.
have a look at yourself 40 yrs ago, do you look the same?
@@jimdoyle8224 Nice one
No shit, Sherlock
Tom looks great and still shreds! I especially love the salt and pepper beard ;-) (4 decades later and I'm still crushing on that man)
@salzheeringer it's plain old dirt, not spoil. u never seen a river with dirt bedding instead of rock/gravel?
Sumatra, Indonesia. Why did I have to Google this, why is it not in the description???
how many times a year does it break?
Looks dangerous
Sweet
are there any crocs in this river?
Frustrating that you don't have the location of this. Otherwise great job!
Where is this?..
where is this?!
Riau , Indonesia
Why does the description have every piece of information possible other than the one people would want which is where this is
probaly pororoca in brazil
Actually it's in Kampar River, Riau city (Indonesia) 🙂
Parabéns ☆...
Classe "A☆!"
It was kind of big that Barrel was or the way it was there's some moving water there all right
The Bono...it's true.
so so rad
11 years ago
I wonder why a lot of surfers don't shave?
Mantap
i dig it
Esta no es la famosa Pororoca?
How dirty is the water?
The jet ski kept messing up the barrels.
river surfing is for infinity or until your legs give out
STARFIRE.
WHERE IS THIS!!!
