Surf Alaska customer and friend, Anson Cheng, shared a video of surfing the Turnagain Arm Bore Tide on stand up paddleboards. See the video below.
I wasn’t there on this day, but it looks pretty nice! Sunny, warm (for Alaska), and a pretty nice glassy little wave. In the photo above you can see Landon Smith doing a headstand on his Paddle Surf Hawaii 9’6″ ripper. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this was his first time riding that board because I had just sold it to him a couple days earlier! Nice work Landon.
From Anson:
Things get a little crazy when the sun finally comes out and there’s a party wave with 7 surfers riding the boretide for 16+ minutes!
Awesome video. I can’t believe how beautiful it is. The backdrop is insane. I posted this on Distressedmullet.com for later today and cant’ wait to see the responses. I’d love to set up a trip some day to surf the tidal bore. Unbelievable. And Jane’s Addiction to boot. Thanks for this!
