Incredible footage of 2 Stand Up Paddler surfing on a tidal bore in Turnagain Arm, Alaska. This phenomenon is rather rare as it only occurs in 60 locations in the world, it usually happens in places with large tidal range and where incoming tides are funneled into a shallow and narrowing river.

Here are some videos about tidal waves: Tidal Bore in Malaysia, Tidal Bore in France.
