Severn Bore Surfing
Surfers ride the first 5-star Severn Bore of the year in the Gloucestershire village of Minsterworth this morning (March 22). The Severn Bore natural phenomena is a large surge wave that can be seen in the estuary of the River Severn, where the tidal range is the second-highest in the world. Surfers and kayakers gather each year to get the chance to ride on these unusual wave patterns caused by a rise in the tide. @Newsflare #severnbore #minsterworth #gloucestershire #gloucester #wave #surfing |
