Longwave, The History of Bore Surfing

Relates to Surf and Travel

This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Tidal Bore Surfing from its roots on the Severn, and to coincide with the planned events for September, the eagerly awaited Longwave has finally gone to edit. The film not only documents the revolution in bore surfing of the last 10 year, as a small international community of dedicated bore riders has flourished, but, following extensive research, the film hopes to shed light on the early years when the likes of Rod Sumpter, Pete Jones and Stuart Matthews were notable faces on the river. Not forgetting those famous two faces who have forged their lives around the ebb and flow of the tides and the gravitational lure of a full or new moon - Dave Lawson and Steve King. Culminating with the recent gatherings of international bore riders on the Gironde Mascaret and Mearim Pororoca.

From the creators of UK2K, expectations are high for an exciting and captivating history of this exclusive branch of surfing. Keep up to date with all the latest buzz from Donny as the film takes shape.
