Watch: Weird Waves // Severn Bore, UK

How long is long? On this episode of Weird Waves, Dylan Graves intends to find out. The plan is to meet up with Guinness World Record holder for longest ride on the Severn River, Steve King. Where does Steve find time to surf in between writing critically acclaimed novels?

I think in terms of entertainment value these videos take 1st place, followed closely by any article involving Greg Webber and in a distant third any forum discussing politics.

This is unreal! Thought it'd be a little boring but I loved the mad dash through town to chase the next section.

I really like Dylan Graves but the novelty of novelty waves has well and truly worn off.

I got 30 seconds in and "sped read" it.

I’d like to see more storm troopers in the waves around here and a few Jedi as well - blowing themselves up.

And the guy on the goat boat brought back memories of Boris taking on the caves bowl on his ski way back then.
