A group of European surfers has discovered a powerful tidal bore river wave in the heart of India. They've named it "The Baan."

Welcome to the Hooghly River, a 260-kilometer (160 miles) water current flowing through West Bengal. Can you imagine catching waves a mere 20 kilometers away from Bangladesh, in a major tributary of the Ganges?

The growing Indian surfing community has a new gem in the country's surf spot map: a tidal bore river wave that happens to build up twice a day, in changing tides.

The tide and the current of the river causes a wave several feet high to form on the bar that crosses the width of the river; and which then travels at speeds of up to 20 mph for 30 miles inland. After securing a few boats and a jet ski (no easy task when the closest boats to hire were a five hour drive away), the crew surfed the Baan for almost a week.

The wave crosses Kolkata, the third largest city in India with 15 million people. It's the ultimate tidal bore challenge, only comparable to the Pororoca
