Tidal bore wave
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2021 12:43 pm
Hi there !
In the spirit of testing weird prone things in the water, I had a chance to ride the tidal bore of "Saint Pardon" in France on a paipo board.
It's a very weak wave that one normally ride on very long boards exclusively (kayaks, SUP, big longboards).
Plus, it was a "small day" (in my channel you may check out the same experience on a surfmat where the wave was a bit bigger).
These boards can keep the waves for like 10 minutes.
I barely hold the wave for a (short) minute, but I was very curious to see how my flat paipo would act.
Riding very small/weak waves prone is always a challenge. The surfmat did good as long as the wave had some power, but when the wave got weaker it didn't work well (it got kind of "floppy"). I expected the paipo to go better in weaker wave, wich was the case.
