Never mind the corpses, check the curves on some of these waves. A Brazilian team goes in search of an oriental Pororoca - the Amazon river bore - and find an incredible version on the Ganges - India's most holy river.

That right, easily the best bore wave I've seen

after visiting the Ganges, theres absolutely no way i would put my head under. not unless this tidal wave is way way upstream. isnt it just an e-coli soup? we watched them burn bodies on the bank before putting them into the river, we were told the bodies that werent burnt beforehand were either already "pure" (holy men, babies, pregnant ladies) or "diseased" (lepers and animals). lepers. like leprosy. like the 'in vogue' disease of Jesus' time.

The water colour reminds me of Mr Slaters wave pool? Similar shape wave too! Dead bodies are a bit much! I can only imagine the rumbling intestines that lead to 12 hour squirts!! As for chucking dry reaching! That hurts after a while!
