Incredible footage of a a group of riders surfing on a tidal bore on the Dordogne river, France. 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 is another video if you want to see more tidal waves: https://www.totalsup.com/en/videos/item/20
