How long is a long wave..?
20 seconds, a minute? Imagine surfing a wave for 60 minutes - waves that break for tens of miles!
In 1955, Colonel Mad Jack Churchill surfed a wave for 1.5 miles. In 1965, Rodney Sumpter surfed the same wave for 6 miles. The place, the River Severn - the birth place of bore surfing. A sport that is now spreading across the world.
Longwave is a film about surfing the world's longest rideable waves from the Severn Bore to the Amazon Pororoca - the places, the pioneers, the world's longest waves. This is the untold story...
