4/12/2003: Record-breaking Amazon surfing



Brazilian surfer Picuruta Salazar rides the "Pororoca," a 12-foot wave that flows upstream once a year on the Amazon. The wave occurs when the ocean whips back on the heavily drained river, creating a giant curl that flows for hundreds of miles. Salazar rode this year's Pororoca through the rainforest for 37 minutes -- a surfing record.
