Brazilian surfer Savio Carneiro celebrates as catches the thunderous “Pororoca” tidal bore wave during the national pororoca circuit final on the Mearim River, some 30 km inland, in the Amazon jungle near the northern Brazilian city of Arari, on April 19, 2003. The term “Pororoca” comes from the Amazonian indigenous term meaning “destroyer, great blast”. The feared and thunderous waves have capsized boats and washed away most anything in its path.
