River Surfing

The surf wave at rapid no 11 has been surfed for many years, but until now has been largely a well kept secret, the tubing wave forms twice a season.  Usually sometime in July as the Zambezi river drops and late January as the Zambezi rises.  This feature changes daily forming a perfect a tube.
