We have all heard of tidal bores and surfing in some crazy river somewhere with mysterious creatures. How about Skeleton Bay in Africa with some crazy long lefts with barrels that last almost a minute? Or a standing river wave that only breaks twice a year? Or some new crazy wave pool in the making? Ask yourself what’s next in the world of surfing, what could we possibly find next to surf? Well, a select crew that Rip Curl has put together to travel the world looking for new waves has found something amazing in a very remote jungle of Sumatra. Wave’s that are unlike any other’s found inland anywhere else in the world, so far. And from my knowledge this is the first ever barreling wave located in a river that is actually possible to stand up in. With what the video shows, I wouldn’t mind going over there and catching a few or just one. So, on April 11, 2011 Rip Curl plans to release the rest of this video with surfers actually riding and getting barreled in a river, and I know that I can’t wait to see the footage. With out further ado here is Rip Curl’s Tip2Tip footage of some Sumatra gold.
Here are a few other videos that make you think about the possibilities that are out there.
