> Interestingly, there are big tidal bores frequently in Turnagain arm, with 1-3m being common. I’ve seen people surfing it with wetsuits in the ice cold water, getting a run of several miles lol.

That’s going on the bucket list! How dangerous is it? If you biff it and get caught by the wave can you just dive under the wavefront and come up behind it like on a beach?

I don’t know much about the dangers involved, but it isn’t (or wasn’t, AFAIK) a big attraction… so maybe it’s crazy or dangerous? I’m not sure. Or it might be because the water is so cold that hypothermia and death is inevitable in less than an hour? Or because there probably is no realistic chance of rescue if something goes wrong?

At any rate, there was enough people willing to try that I saw it a couple of times, and TBF I think windsurfing isn’t too unusual in the arm now. But there is also trees and stuff in the tidal bores sometimes, so maybe debris is a big problem or the area is too shallow to be safe.

But, if it’s doable, I’m sure it would be memorable!
