Velocity fluctuations in a granular surface flow are studied. These fluctuations are self-similar at small scales with an energy density spectrum showing a -5/3 power law. The probability density functions of velocity increments are strongly non-Gaussian. The moments of velocity differences between two points separated by a distance r vary as a power law with the scale r; the exponents saturate at a value of 2/3 showing very strong intermittency of the velocity fluctuations.
