The Araguari Pororoca in Amazon generates the longest wave on earth. Its tidal bore generates wave up to a maximum of 12ft high that lasts for over half an hour. Nevertheless, surfing through this world’s longest wave is risky, frightening and dangerous. The Tupi-Guarani Indians themselves have once expressed their fear by calling it “poroc poroc”, or in English translates as “great destructive noise”. It is recorded that this wave is powerful enough to tear off the entire trees from the river bank, local houses and even it can destroy living things on earth. The wave can be heard 30 minutes before its arrival. Though it is notorious for its frightening and dangerous tidal phenomenon, it still tempts the surfers to ride on it as its massive wave lets them to stay on their boards for a relatively long hour.
