People are surfing the chocolate river. The Petitcodiac River changes direction twice a day since the gates have been opened at a causeway that was built a number of years ago. The huge tides of the Bay of Fundy push water back upriver. As the tide rushes in, it forms a tidal bore; a small but powerful wave that rolls inland for miles. With the gates open, the wave has become much larger than it has been in about 40 years. As the bore pushes upstream through steep mud banks, it churns the river to a creamy froth. The waves are muddy and roll on and on and on. Very attractive to serious surfers; the rolling, not necessarily the mud, but its not enough to discourage them. The city of Moncton, New Brunswick is not encouraging visitors to come and ride the wave because of the dangers posed by water pollution, rocks, sucking mud, fast-moving debris and fierce currents.
