-	Ambleside Park provides a fun shuttle-free opportunity for tide wave rides upstream with near effortless return paddling with the tide. The waves are in a defined channel so you may paddle to either side to calmer water. The best time to paddle is with a west or northwest wind two hours either side of max ebb.	+	Ambleside Park provides a fun shuttle-free opportunity for tide race wave rides upstream with near effortless return paddling with the tide.

-	For many years most surfskiers have left human powered boating for recreation in these tidal phenomena to other vessels such as sea kayaks (for example [[https://youtu.be/bwD-UogNY5c\|hurricane riders]]). But in the right circumstances surfskis and OCs can thrive there too and do some kinds of wave surfing better than any other craft. Many of the races listed below will rarely if ever provide worthwhile or safe conditions for surfskis. But some probably offer excellent opportunities when conditions are right and a paddler's skills and local knowledge are up to it. Someone just needs to study more of the tidal races that are reasonably accessible and learn how they work.	+	For many years most surfskiers have left human powered boating for recreation in these tidal phenomena to other vessels such as sea kayaks (for example [[https://youtu.be/bwD-UogNY5c\|hurricane riders]]).

	There already are a fair share of tide races popular with surfskiers around the world. The surfski and OC communities in the Pacific Northwest have spent time studying and practicing in their nearby tidal races at [[:tidalrace:deception_pass\|]] ([[:tidalrace:deception_pass_videos\|videos]]) and [[:tidalrace:ambleside\|Ambleside]] ([[:tidalrace:ambleside_videos\|videos]]) and find them exceptionally fun and great for conditioning and skill development when conditions are right (though not for the faint of heart or skill when they run big). The Surfski Center in [[:tarifa\|Tarifa]] makes La Bajeta tide race ([[:tidalrace:la_bajeta_videos\|videos]]) a regular place for lap parties during their downwinding classes. And [[:jerseychannelislands\|Jersey Channel Island]] paddlers regularly play in the waves of their Noirmont Pt. tide race ([[:tidalrace:noirmont_pt_videos\|videos]]).
