Sounds a bit dangerous to me, cosidering the color of the water and the cr*p that it drags along with it. Saw a film once where two surfers were riding the Amazon bore , with caymen swimming near by, dont want to bail out there.......

im not going to do it now, but its on my list of things to do befor i die, looks like a right laugh, only thing is how the hell do you get back to your car?

imagan what he said when he look it to be repairs

He proberbly said something like:

'hello mr shaper I was riding the severn bore when i dinged my board on a fridge'

I really want to ride the bore, but is a 7' 6'' minimal too short?

yes, you want the biggest board you can get. My bro has done it a few times and he dinged the hell out of my old mans longboard last time.
Also be aware it does get very crowded - ona busy day it makes pipe look like a secret spot.

Imagen Saunton but even phater... thats the bore. Its bacically a big surge of water rather than a wave as such.

yeah man, i saw the video clips on the bore riders website....how long a ride have you managed to get?
