Attempting to Surf a Tidal Wave in Alaska

We rode a Tidal Bore wave during 30ft King Tides in Alaska. Head on over to http://Drinklmnt.com/blair to get your free variety pack of Drink LMNT. The Turnagain Arm tidal bore—or bore tide—is a long-lasting wave that surges down the narrow inlet just south of Anchorage, Alaska. It’s one of the few places in the world (and the only place in the United States) where this phenomenon occurs regularly, sometimes reaching heights of up to 6 to 10 feet. Because it's powered by the massive momentum of the entire ocean's tide rather than wind, the wave doesn't just break and disappear; it keeps rolling for 40 to 50 miles, taking about 5 hours to travel the full length of the inlet. The resulting wave is so powerful and consistent that local surfers, paddleboarders, and kayakers routinely ride a single, continuous wave for miles through the Alaskan wilderness. Blair Conklin and @CaseyWillax give you the highlights from each of their attempt at riding the bore. On this day we caught two bore tides and went snowboarding at arctic valley. It was an extremely full day of board sports. #surf #weird #waves
