The Silver Surfer
Here's my favorite photo of the day. This is a surfer that's making his way across the mud flats on the Turnagain Arm to the main channel to await the arrival of the bore tide. You can see the reflection of the mountains in the foreground.
The bore tide is a phenomenon that happens when the incoming tide meets the outflow of river water. Causing a wave to form at the head of the tide. The Turnagain Arm in Alaska is one of the few places where this happens.
Surfers have taken to riding the tide in with their boards the last ten years or so. It's becoming quite a popular sport.
