With the botos’s** blessing, Serginho Laus is still attempting to brake his own world record of surfing the lenght of the wave cresp of the pororoca. He has with him a support team and the Navegar Amazônia boat as an operation base.
*Translator’s note: The pororoca is a tidal bore, with waves up to 4 meters high that travel as much as 13 kilometers inland upstream on the Amazon River. Its name comes from the indigenous Tupi language, where it translates into “great destructive noise”. It occurs at the mouth of the river where river water meets the Atlantic Ocean. The phenomenon is best seen in February and March.
**Translator’s note: The Boto, Amazon River Dolphin or Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) is a freshwater river dolphin endemic to the Amazon River and Orinoco River systems.
