I did this as a works do. In the dark. I paddled down river away from the pub, around a bend and it was completely dark. I could hear the wave rushing up river but had no idea how big it was until it arrived. Then I ended up upriver, missed the access at the pub, had to climb a tree to get out. Then we all went to the pub. Best works do ever. Full respect to Hamish for organising it, would have loved to see the risk assessment!
I've been a professional driver in my time, and can never understand why people who are driving need to turn their heads in even the slightest way when talking, or be distracted from the road in front of them when they have everyone's safety in their hands. It is just a easy to talk with your eyes on the road, and do the right thing by everybody.
@@RyanElliot It's the tidal surge travelling up an ever-shrinking funnel shaped river. There is so much water coming up the river and less and less space for it, the tide effectively "trips over" itself causing the constant wave. I think. There are 2 tides every day and each one is a small wave but only classed as a bore when it's over a certain height.
Love the photoshopped waves on the 'Thumbnail' ...... "Only happens a few times a year!"😆🤣😂

Two seconds of fun!? Yeah!😂😂😂
Looks like a rad time! Bit crowded though, but I understand why. And a gnarly ass bushwhack at the end.. Nice work! 🤙
Skp to 4:22 for the most of nothing.
This is where SUPs belong. A river or lake.

I never understand why people bitch about the smallest things, but hey, everyone is different
Same as looking at your speedo,enter or dash board or radio or work bag or clock
It’s actually better for the brain to break up the monotony
@@bradleymitchell3808 well it won’t be a small thing once someone’s dead but hey
They seem pretty sensible to me
There are two Severn Rivers in Ontario. No bores on either ... one has ice break up in mid April, the other has break up in mid March.
Missed bore tides is the worst feeling😂🥲
Haha indeed 🙂
Very cool!
What makes the wave?
I believe it's a strong tidal surge coming from the ocean.
Ryan Osmond oh ok, interesting.
Tidal surge is only part of it

Classic click bait.
Party waves are annoying enough but a party wave on a weak tidal bore in chocolate milk, no thanks

yes, but you must access the river via land you have permission to cross.
Clickbait thumbnail 👎
