Also know as the "onda da floresta amazonia", "the phenomenon", the worlds longest wave.
I caught a t.v. show a few days ago about this crazy surfable wave that sweeps once a year into the Amazon. Apparently, it's created by lunar tides and travels miles up a tributary in North Eastern Brazil. When I saw guys actually surfing this thing my jaw dropped because a) I didn't know it existed and b) who knew that one can surf for 35 minutes at a time.
Wow. Props.

That is one of the coolest things I have EVER seen! I had no idea that anything like that could happen! (some of the guys here surf--albeit the smallest waves ever..could you call it surfing? I dont know...but I know they would LOVE to do something like this)
Thanks for writing me the other day! I have a million and one questions. I am excited and NERVOUS. I try to tell myself I am more of the first than the latter, but let's be honest...I am VERY American and have been afforded the luxury (thanks to my Dad for immigrating here from Argentina) of being so my whole life. In Brazil Sidnei and I will have a very different life. I am well aware and my Dad likes to remind me CONSTANTLY. But I know too that you can make your home anywhere and I will love it in Brazil too...after the shock wears off (maybe five years later..haha). Anyway but thanks and if I have questions I will be SURE to ask you! Do you have email?
very cool. I heard somewhere you have to watch out for trees in the water when you surf that...
Let me give you a hand with the whole documentary
