Bliv ikke overrasket, men kloak surfing er en ting. Også kendt som “urban surfing”, det er en spændende og farlig sport, der involverer at ride på bølgerne skabt af det hurtigt bevægende vand i stormkloakafløbssystemer. Denne ekstremsport vinder popularitet blandt spændingssøgende, but it is also illegal and extremely dangerous.
Oprindelse
Året er 2009, og endnu en ekstrem brætsport er født Brasilien: i Porto Alegre, surfere nyder at ride på bølgerne i en grøft, der er opsvulmet af regn, i hvad der effektivt er en oversvømmet kloakafløb. Siden da, i mange har forsøgt at deltage i aktionen.
While not officially recognized, sewer drain surfing is considered an extreme sport, and for good reason. It is not only illegal, but it is also incredibly dangerous.

Dangers
The water in storm sewer drain systems is extremely fast-moving and can reach dangerous speeds, making it extremely difficult to control a surfboard and avoid obstacles.
The water is also often contaminated with pollutants, and there is a high risk of injury or death from colliding with debris or getting trapped in the drainage system. The conditions are also constantly changing with the weather and water levels, making it a challenging and unpredictable sport.
Ud over, many storm sewer drain systems are equipped with security cameras, and those caught participating in the sport could face arrest and fines.

Legality
Sewer drain surfing is illegal in most cities, and those caught participating in the sport could face arrest and fines. Law enforcement agencies are aware of the dangers and have increased patrols in known surfing spots. Many storm sewer drain systems are also equipped with security cameras, making it easier for authorities to identify those who engage in the activity.
There are many other safer alternatives to urban surfing on all sorts of natural terrains. Sand klit surfing involves riding a board, similar to a Skateboard or Snowboard, on sand dunes and is a great alternative for people who want to experience the thrill of surfing, but don’t have access to the ocean. Græsbræt, similar to landboarding, is a sport that involves riding a board on grassy terrains.
