I love those freak of nature waves. It would be fun on our skis but a ski wouldn't really be needed. Skis are the equalizer for crowds and crappy surf. If I was there I would just surf that. Can you imagine surfing a 5 mile tidal bore?

idk that last shot where there are like 30 waves stacked up it would be pretty fun to hit it like a rythem section on a mototrack at top speed!

Agreed! I'd have to hang for at least a couple a tidal changes to surf that and ride it on my ski

When the candirú successfully invades a human, it proceeds exactly as it would with a fish host. After entering the misidentified orifice, it quickly wriggles its way in as far as possible, often accompanied by the victim’s frantic attempts to grip the slippery, mucus-coated tail. In the unlikely event that the panicked victim manages to grasp the fish, its backwards-pointing barbs would cause excruciating pain at each pull, and bring a quick end to the dramatic tug-of-war. Once inside, the parasite inches its way up the urethra to the nearest blood-gorged membrane, extends its spines into the surrounding tissue, and starts feasting.

“I felt like urinating. I stood up, and it was then it attacked me. The candirú attacked me. [...] When I saw it, I was terrified. I grabbed it quickly so it couldn’t go deeper inside. I could only see the end of its tail flapping. I tried to grab it, but it slipped away from me and went in. [...] I was very afraid, because the candirú bites.”

OMG!!!!

That sounds like a total fml moment.

Wikipedia said:
To date, there is only one documented case of the removal of a candiru from a human urinary system.[13] In this instance, the victim claimed a candiru swam into his urethra as he urinated while thigh-deep in a river.[14] Jeremy Wade, a British biologist, investigated this incident for the Animal Planet's River Monsters.[15] The victim underwent a two-hour urological surgery to remove the candiru. Dr. D. Scott Smith, Chief of Infectious Diseases at Kaiser Permanente, described the candiru as having spikes to assist it clinging to its host.[16]
It was also once thought that the fish was attracted to urine, as the candiru's primary prey emits urea from its gills, but this was later discredited in formal experimentation.[4][8]
Indeed, the fish appears not to have any response to any chemical attractants, and primarily hunts by visual tracking.[8
