The Maskeret




We went to see a thing called the Maskeret in a nearby town. It is a natural phenomena on the Dordogne River, it only happens a couple of times a year when the moons and the tides are right.  The river is normally flat and when the Maskeret happens it sends a tide up the river like large waves which the locals surf.  The river is muddy and the water is brown and dirty looking, I don't think I would want to surf it, but when the surfers appear on the river which was really flat a few minutes before, it looks really cool.  They were on surf boards, stand up boards and in canoes and kayaks.
