Are All Types of Sharks Man Eaters?
Movies like "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea" have helped to give a bad reputation to the sharks. If one takes into account all the facts in comparison with the version of Hollywood, the question we can ask ourselves is: "Are all kinds of man eating sharks?" Here are some facts about sharks!
Fact 1: "Did you know that 80% of shark species are either unable or likely to not even come into contact with human beings?" In fact, most of the 375 to 475 known types of sharks are soft and much smaller than the ferocious Great White shark.
Fact 2: "Did you know that 80% of all types of sharks are less than 6.5 feet in length while 50% of them under 3.5 meters long." This simply means that this small sharks is likely to be without interest to human prey.
Fact 3: "Did you know that's not true that the shark's largest, most likely to attack humans and referred to the dining room as the man?" In fact, the two largest sharks living in our oceans are also known as a gentle giant? Yes, while the whale shark and the basking shark are actually dining on plankton explain the fact that human beings do not even look appetizing to them.
Fact 4: "Did you know that of all species of sharks, there are four guys who are more prone to attack humans?" As you can see, four species is far from being even close to the 375 to 475 types of sharks that ended sharing the bad reputation of a man dining. While 20% of all shark species are considered potentially dangerous to humans, there are only a few that can attack human prey of the confusion or when they feel threatened. These species are: the Great White shark, the tiger shark, bull sharks and hammerhead sharks Great.
Fact 5: "Did you know that shark attacks are not planned, as in" Jaws "? Sharks brain is not big enough to" think things through "as human beings. In fact, the only shark react by instinct. He is obviously something in the water, which is hungry and may decide to taste. can be a man, a can, a plaque or anything else in this case. More than likely, after the first bite, was released from his human prey, because it is too bony for their own pleasure, unlike a seal or sea lion.
Fact 6: "Did you know that some sharks can be trained in aquariums?" In fact, it's done in Chicago John G. Shedd Aquarium. They have not been training them to perform tricks in a show, but for food. Desde que poner todas sus especies de tiburones en el mismo tanque, a fin de evitar un frenesí de alimentación, que han capacitado a cada especie para responder a su propia llamada auditiva, así como un color y alto contraste símbolo de la alimentación cuando su momento has arrived. The most sensitive species is the Zebra shark that responds well to hold and act as a well-trained puppy, which enjoys Petter in his stomach and on the snout. As you can see, not all sharks attack humans.
Fact 7: "Did you know that most types of sharks have made impressive sight?" The species that has the best view is in fact the shark hammer because of the position of your eyes on the far side of his way to hammer snout. The species that has one of the poorest, the view is actually the Greenland shark, as it prefers to swim near the ocean floor and in colder waters, it has real parasites that grow in her eyes, is almost blinding. Although most sharks have a better view than us, who can still confuse and attack humans thought of them as a stamp, especially when you're lying on his stomach on a surfboard. Why? It is simply because from the sharks tend to go Full Tilt below their dams to be taken by surprise, the shadows against the light plays tricks with your vision.
Now that you read all these facts, one can understand why the experts do not like the fact that all types of sharks were given a bad reputation as man-eaters by Hollywood.

Great Women Surfers
In times of Polynesia the early 1600s, men, women and children surf the waves of Hawaii together in harmony. Although there are men who were dominant in sport, many women were also prominent. Hawaiians waiting in the sport in an egalitarian way, with equal opportunities for excellence and skill.
At the time when Europeans settled in Hawaii in late 1700 and early 1800, historians Ben Finney and James Houston takes into account that "a large percentage of Wahine (women) of early Hawaii were skilled navigators, and At times champions. Early engravings of the sport is full of half of the island-dressed girls perched on surfboards at the top of a wave of curling. " These were also the first women surfers undoubtedly attracted by the intimacy allowed men and women who rode the same wave together. There was also the love and courtship competitions carried out by both sexes, while surfing the waves.
The first famous surfer who is known as mammals, a semi-Polynesian god of times. She has a mythology associated with his name and was an excellent navigator, winning praise from their bosses and other chieftesses. Princess Kaneamuna the surfboard, dated in mid-1600, was discovered in 1905 at the funeral of his cave.
Ka'ahumanu late 18th century was a quiet canoe. This feat involved jumping from a canoe on the switch with a surfboard and ride the wave to the shore. She was very skilled in this style of riding, but later came to dissuade others from surfing after she converted to Christianity and traveled with the Calvinists.
During the hiatus of surfing in late 1800, after the attacks of Calvinist Puritanism, there were very few surfers riding the waves. One woman, Princess Ka'iulaini, it was reported that "the last of the old school in Waikiki," according to Surfrider Knut Cottrell. As the surf renaissance began again in the early 20th century, the surf clubs emerged and are formally organized, The Hui NALU (surf club) is one of them. Two female surfers are on record as official members of the club, Mildred "sissy" Turner, and Josephine "Jo" Pratt. The famous surfer and ladykiller, Duke Kahanamoku, is documented to be the first surfer to ride in tandem on a surfboard. Of course, bringing Leslie Limon with him to accomplish this is a fun and sexy way to make history. Duke later spread of surfing to Australia, where he repeated his trick in 1914 with the 15-year-old girl ocean Isabel Letham, who was later admitted to the Sport Australia Hall of Fame to further generations of Australian women to participate in the sport of surfing.
Often, women began their careers in tandem surf trips, due to the fact that their boyfriends were there in the surf and wanted to go into action. Many of these women spunky then train and become as good as men. Mary Ann Hawkins is perhaps the most famous female surfer in the early 20th century. She won countless prizes for the competition of swimming and surfing along in the 30s. In the 1970s, became a double feat in Hollywood films and later moved to Hawaii, where he opened a swimming school for babies.

Surfing: Unaffordable Sport?
Fortunately both the surfboard and the suit are long-term team. Therefore, although with some effort, you can save money to buy equipment or use some type of financial product and pay for everything in small contributions. Here are some tips that can help you get what you need to start surfing without too many problems or sacrifices.
Price Range and Savings
The price range of surfboards range from a couple of hundreds and even a few thousand dollars, while a suit of surfing can cost a couple hundred in general, higher price with some rare exceptions which can be as high as one or two thousand dollars. Overall, the whole kit can require an average price of a thousand dollars sometimes reach higher amounts depending on the quality of the team.
Saving that kind of money is not a difficult task. However, it all depends on your income and expenses. Amend its budget to include a small amount each month to a savings account for the purchase of equipment should not be a sacrifice. However, if you do not have that kind of control over their finances, you may want to resort to other means.
Financing the purchase of equipment
Most stores that sell such equipment credit cards are accepted without delay. They may even have some promotions specially adapted for purchases by credit card. Note, however, that financing with credit cards is quite expensive compared to most other financial products. Despite using a credit card may be the most convenient and speedy financial option, you will most likely not be the cheapest one.
Most banks and financial institutions that offer unsecured personal loans for their customers every day. Perhaps it is time to take advantage of these offers. Be sure to compare interest rates in the first place (see in particular the APR that combines all costs in a way that you can easily compare). Next, consider what type of reimbursement program that would benefit from more. An amortization schedule longer means lower monthly payments but higher amounts spent on interests, while the shorter repayment programs could result in higher monthly payments, but the costs of the financing will be less.
If you decide to go for an unsecured personal loan, consider including the amount needed to take some lessons if you're starting to practice this sport. It's inexpensive and can save a lot of time and inconvenience.
The requirements to obtain approval for a loan without a guarantee that they are not harsh. If you are already a client of the bank or financial institution, it's likely that you can have a pre-approved loan available. Otherwise you may have to show proof of employment or income and authorization to provide a credit check short.
Price Range and Savings
The price range of surfboards range from a couple of hundreds and even a few thousand dollars, while a suit of surfing can cost a couple hundred in general, higher price with some rare exceptions which can be as high as one or two thousand dollars. Overall, the whole kit can require an average price of a thousand dollars sometimes reach higher amounts depending on the quality of the team.
Saving that kind of money is not a difficult task. However, it all depends on your income and expenses. Amend its budget to include a small amount each month to a savings account for the purchase of equipment should not be a sacrifice. However, if you do not have that kind of control over their finances, you may want to resort to other means.
Financing the purchase of equipment
Most stores that sell such equipment credit cards are accepted without delay. They may even have some promotions specially adapted for purchases by credit card. Note, however, that financing with credit cards is quite expensive compared to most other financial products. Despite using a credit card may be the most convenient and speedy financial option, you will most likely not be the cheapest one.
Most banks and financial institutions that offer unsecured personal loans for their customers every day. Perhaps it is time to take advantage of these offers. Be sure to compare interest rates in the first place (see in particular the APR that combines all costs in a way that you can easily compare). Next, consider what type of reimbursement program that would benefit from more. An amortization schedule longer means lower monthly payments but higher amounts spent on interests, while the shorter repayment programs could result in higher monthly payments, but the costs of the financing will be less.

Surfing Origins
In the early 1900s the Hawaiians organized the Hui NALU (surf club) and competed in contests neighborhood surf with the Outrigger Canoe Club. This marks a great attention to the coast of Waikiki surfing, bringing a revitalized interest in the sport, which has fallen from favor in the late 1800s.
Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic swimming star, popularized the sport further by traveling internationally and showing their style of surfing to a thrilled audience around the world. Was favored by the elite of Hollywood, has acted in bit parts in movies and has always been the recruitment of new surfers when he left. He is credited with surfing the waves longest of all time in 1917, at the popular surfing area now called Outside Castles in Waikiki. His 1000 meters plus wave record has yet to be overcome.
In the 1930s, the sport of surfing is experiencing a renaissance. Tom Blake, founder of the Pacific Coast Surfing Championship that ended the war began in 1941, was the first man in the photograph surfing from the water. Another photographer and surfer named Doc Ball published California Surfriders 1946, which represents the pristine coastal beaches and nice weather, relaxed atmosphere of surf living.
Surf, although curtailed in the aftermath of World War II, revived as always by the 1950s. Bud Browne, an accomplished surfer and Waterman, created the first "surf movie" with his 1953 "Hawaiian Surf movie." This inspired many photographers, filmmakers and surfers to continue documenting the sport, culminating with is arguably the best surf movie of all time, 1963 of "Endless Summer" by Bruce Brown. The film opened the genre of surf film and the art of navigating to the non-surfing people, accumulating fans and newbies inspiring.

More Surfing History
Surfing has become popular throughout the 20th century and remains so today. The traditional view of a surfer is a stocky, square jaw, blond men - made popular by movies, television and commercial. The truth is different.
Although the surf was a male-dominated sport, women are adventurous surfers can see all the way back to the times of the Polynesian Queens. Two notable "surfer girls were Eva Fletcher and anona Napolean. Eva Fletcher was born in California an animator for Walt Disney and anona Napolean was the daughter of a respected family of Hawaiian surf. The two pioneers in the sport for the modern woman, winning surf competitions up and down the California coast at the end of the 50s and the 60s.
Hollywood was quick to be on the scene and the 1959 movie "Gidget," surfing was thrown away into the mainstream, never to return to its humble beginnings ritual. "Gidget" inspired a lot of "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies that brought surfing to a new generation of adolescents and inspiring a new genre of "surf music" that accompanied the films and The Beach Boys more famous in that Elvis 60.
Sports spread in all media and Surfing Magazine was born in the 1960s by famed surf photographer, Leroy Grannis. After that, other publications that came out more about the sport, teams and stars of the surfing scene. John Severson, conducted a photographer and filmmaker, created Surfer Magazine, originally called "The Surfer." These publications to advertising, professional surfing, surf culture and publicity to the now very popular sport.

History of Surfboards
In ancient times the art of surfing was a deeply spiritual matter for the Hawaiian people and the surf is not only recreational but a means to resolve conflicts and training for the Hawaiian chiefs. The Hawaiian people had rituals for the construction of surfboards and surfboard which built ranged from 10-16 feet of solid redwood and the board and the top of their social rank. During the early days, the Hawaiian has made two types of surfboards made from the Wili Wili, the Ula and Koa tree.
The 'Olo' surfboard was mounted by the chiefs or nobles usually between 14-16 feet and 'Alai' surfboard was between 10-12 feet in length and assembled by the commoners.
Captain Cook witnessed the native surf surfboards solid wood when he visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1777 and his diaries are the first official documents that describe the art of surfing.
Later, in the mid-19th century when the western / white missionaries arrived almost died surfing in the islands. At the beginning of 20th century missionary influence on the islands began to decline along with the Hawaiians and the new European and American settlers began surfing again. One was George FREETH, which through its surf, experimented with board design, and cut its 16-foot Hawaiian board in half. Making a typical solid Redwood Hawaiian board at the time about 6 to 10 feet long.
In 1926 one of the most famous names in the history of surfing, Tom Blake designed the first surfboard hollow Redwood built with hundreds of holes drilled in it and was coated with a thin board of wood at the top and bottom of the board . The board is 15 feet long, 19 "wide, 4" thick and weighs 100 pounds. This surfboard hole eventually became the first mass production board in 1930 due to its weight and speed that could generate. In 1932 Balsa wood from South America became a popular material for the construction of surfboards. The new balsa wood boards only weighs about 30 to 40 pounds apposés to 90 to 100 lb Boards Redwood. This weight reduction is an important step forward in board design, and became more and more in demand.
The end of World War II opening of 2 new possibilities in the design of surfboard as many of the new material has become available through advances in technology. Fiberglass and Styrofoam are the most important of these.
The shortboard first came to the scene surf over the past 60 years in the early 70 and the average length increased from 10 to 6 feet, with an obvious reduction in weight. These new boards allows surfers to ride in the pocket of the wave and Dick Brewer is credited with its design. These new boards allowed faster, more aggressive and more maneuverable surf. It was around this time that the dual purpose was to apposés just the one.
In 1966, Nat Young won the world championship in a shortboard named "Sam" designed by George Greenough and Bob McTavish. This board enables higher performance with style surf back sharper and with greater acceleration, which kick-started the "shortboard revolution".

Waves
As any surfer knows - The waves are what this is. Here discover just what kinds of waves there are out there. One of the things that makes surfing so much of a challenge is that each wave is different. What wave has been surfing lately?
Types of breaking Surf
Types of breaking Surf
- Beach Break -
- Break Point -
- Reef Break -
The Reef Break is a wave breaking on a coral reef or a rock seabed. These waves are usually the classics which can be seen in the videos of surfing. These waves can be unforgiving if you happen to do away with evil, but may be the most rewarding in its perfection. Cloudbreak is a magnificent example of a reef break.
NB. We left off Rivermouth in the preceding sections, because they can break the waves over sandy or rocky ledges funds. Great waves in their own right, though - a good example of this is that all time classic Margaret River.
Lefts, rights and ridges
We now expect a bit deeper into the world of the waves. Who knows what the left hand is a breaking point is? Hands Up. What form has a left hand breaking wave, or a left-handed soon as you are referring to them as? A wave can be a left or right depending on which direction the wave breaks from the viewpoint of a surfer paddle and ride the wave. If a surfer is paddling to catch the wave and is breaking from right to left (the sailor will have to turn left into the wave), then this is a wave left. From the beach the wave will break on the right - but surfers viewpoint account OK! A right is obviously the opposite to a left, if it had not worked that one yet.
A peak is a wave that breaks the formation of a rideable wave both left and right, two surfers can browse at the same time in different directions.
On land, offshore and Red Shore
The wind is where the waves come, and is the final deciding factor between a very good day or a day surfing non-surfing. A land of wind is the worst wind to navigate. The wind blows from the sea and ensures that all waves of collapse and have no form, making-surfable waves. A Red Shore is not desirable, either, not giving way to waves. An offshore wind is the best for wind surfing. He assured that the waves rolling very well trained and break cleanly. If you want quality waves then you want an offshore wind. If you are going to go surfing then be sure to keep an eye on the weather - but that is a whole other section! Why not take a reading about how a wave is generated.

Basic Rules To Surfing- Do's And Dont's
Here are the basic rules for Sports - read and you should be safe in the surf (and so should everyone else). They are not in order of importance, but all are relevant. Remember - navigate safely and respect your teammates water girls.
Alcohol.
Surfing under the influence is not a good idea. Save the drinking for surfing after bragging session at your site, everyone just tell us the number of barrels that had been obtained previously.
Note.
Be aware of other boaters and water users, surf conditions, and of where you are browsing (see patrolled beaches).
Comfort Zone.
You must surf in the waves that you are comfortable, do not get over their head.
Fitness.
Make sure you are physically fit when surfing. You need to be able to swim back to land if he loses his pension at the end of an exhausting session - no mean feat in a wave of 3 meters.
Food.
As with swimming, not navigate at least 45 minutes after a meal.
Fun.
The surf is about fun, keep in mind when in the waves.
Maintain or shot.
Know when to hold in his surfboard and when to get rid of him. If you're sailing out after keeping hold its board, get back on line more quickly and not put anyone out paddling behind you at risk. If you're about to delete out after breaking away from its board. You are much more likely to sustain an injury if you and your board are receiving some washing.
Beaches patrolled.
If you're surfing on a beach patrolled make sure you keep within the designated are surfing. Take note of where they should be surfing before leaving, and ensure that they adhere to it when you are out.
Priority.
Always make sure you are not taking anyone else in the wave. Remember, the surfer closest to the breaking wave has priority. If you see someone and then a wave and the wave will have to wait for the next.
Practice.
If you want to improve then you need to be in the water surfing as regularly as possible. Nobody has anything better to do anything to stay at home and watching TV.
Respect.
Respect for the premises where you are visiting a beach. Remember that you are a guest and that the airwaves should be shared.
Rips.
If you're caught in a rip remember is called RIP for a reason and is not likely to make return to earth ever again. While we hope that you already know that a rip is a strong current that (usually) goes straight to the sea and if caught in one and you should not panic across the palette rip (not against it) until it has escaped.
Sunblock.
Always use a proper solar water-resistant. You know nothing about it if it has been for a few hours of surfing on the beach without it. In addition, if not wearing a costume that is a good idea to use a UV-proof vest eruption of body protection.
Surf Buddy.
Always surf with at least one other person. Not only do you have more fun if you want to share their waves, but will always have someone to help you if you need it.
Surf Conditions.
Make sure the surf is safe before going in. If you go browsing in a field who are unfamiliar with it is a good idea to get advice from a local. Take a look at navigating the terrain, while warming.
Warm-up.
Always have a rapid warm-up and stretch before entering the surf. This will reduce the risk of injury or muscle cramps while you're browsing. It also gives time to see if there are any rips or where the best place for catching waves.

Beginners Guide To Surfing
Now that you have read the Sports section and are in a position where you can get to the beach with his surfboard. (If you have not read the section navigation why not! - Back there 'orrible little grommet). You are now ready to have a go sailing by pipeline, the barrels of huge Kirra or Mavericks. Well to celebrate there, maybe not quite yet. Before we go any further we must first check a few things.
The first thing to consider is how a strong swimmer you are, and how far you can swim. REM around the sea is not the place to be if you're accustomed to wearing a rubber ring to keep afloat in the local pool. As with all sports there is an element of risk, and the sea is far more unpredictable than a football field or tennis court. One thing to always keep in mind, even when you are a competent surfer, is that you should never be out more than you could swim back and comfortable if you do not have your surfboard - could break his legrope at any time one can be found by going from a beautiful palette again on the beach to really take a long bath.
Being physically fit Needless to say, if you're looking to seriously take up surfing. A good surfer will pataleo, height and riding the waves look effortless, but there are a lot of physical work involved around rowing, to its board of directors and doing exercises (but does not allow ourselves to get ahead! ).
Safety must be always in the back of your mind, which is one reason that you should never surf alone. You never know what might go wrong even in the smallest of the waves - good to have someone who can help you out should get into trouble.
One last little thing, like swimming should never go sailing straight after a meal. Give at least half an hour before eating before going for a surf. If they are for a surf early morning you should wait until after their breakfast. Well, if it has not put you off then allows surfing get under way with the things namely section.

The Lip is Your Friend
Learning to navigate goes in stages. The first thing I must simply learn to paddle, duck and dive to hang up when a package of meat begins to demand to go home. His early days in water that barely face turn, and the coast. Then, slowly, of course, you learn to survive in the ocean, learn to paddle the wave and, finally, standing. Once you're standing on a regular basis, a whole new world opens. The wave of changes when viewed from a standing position, and learn to pump speed, and carving turn, and even start doing little S-turns. Soon you're looking for barrels and wondered what more the wave has to offer. During his long surf probably plateau at this level. There's a lot to learn. You learn to compete for space and survival with the peeling side of the wave, racing to stay ahead of the foam, and relishing the rush of speed. For those of you surf this plateau, ready to take their skills to the next level, this bit of advice is just for you.The lip is your friend. The lip of the wave is much higher. It comes in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes it is thin and blown ashore, crumbles by itself and is nothing but a pile of foam. Sometimes it's thick, which took place on the high seas by the winds until it can hold more and launches out in atronador barrels of both terrible and beautiful.
Whatever form it takes, one thing must never forget: it's only water. Do not hurt (unless it is huge), which float your board (unless you're huge) and is the most important and dynamic anywhere wave.
Treat your lips as a friend. It will not be offended if you hit - although it may strike again; will not be embarrassed if snuggle up against it. Get over it, get underneath it, only to arrive and get a feel for him. As with anything in life, the only way to learn is to do. If you want to understand how to ride the lip, you get the lip.
Here are some fairly obvious get-to-know-that games can be played with lip:
- Gout, in turn bottom and go straight to the lips, no matter what you're doing, like office. As you are about to hit the lip, in turn as sharp as can be, a 180 if you are to it. Try to push the fins you right across the back of him as you hit and walk down. Depending on the wave and turning his powers, this can have a lot of interesting results.
- Fall into a fast peeling wave of bombs and some shifts to generate speed. Then walk to the tippy-top of the wave of launch and try to sit there, built up its cruising speed and balance at the top. Keep your weight slightly higher in the face of the wave so it does not slide over the back. Then, as the lip begins to pull away from the wave, on the edge and try to return to the side of the wave of pointing slightly downward, crouching low, and driving forward.
- Lastly, if you have a good launch lip, gout, low crouch, and lean close to the wave, let the lip pitch over you. Whether you're getting into a barrel or not, do not fall. Stay on your feet and think of the wave as nothing but a heavy shower. It's just water. It's just water. It's only water that is not going to call you. Okay, so it was demolished. What can I say. It is not my fault. Get up and try again. This is available to enter barrel riding. Now, go befriend her lip.
Surf Etiquette for Beginners
The rules of surfing are eternally unwritten. They undulate to break as to break the water surface, but as water, adhere to the laws of nature - the delicate equilibrium between gravity and surface tension. There are no referees in the water. There are no police, supervisors, managers or mommies to run to when things go wrong. Surfers lead by a loose set of principles that get passed through generations the way a mother bird teaches its young to fly, nudging them out of the nest.I can only tell you enough so you can venture into the water and begin to learn by himself. Feel the rules. The line-up, people will tell you what is happening. The breeze will tell if this is a day for sharing the waves, or every man for himself. Close your eyes and you'll know if this is a day for solemn silence, or one day a hoot and scream. People will tell you. You know when you know. You. Until then, remember this ...
- Right track belongs to the surfer closest to the top of the wave. Never drop to somebody else when you're falling into the surf or closer to you to break the part of the wave.
- When paddling, the surfer in the wave has the right of way. Leave your way. You could ruin your trip, or perhaps get a Skagen in his melon. (Shredders, please do not try to hit or even spray people who are paddling out, no matter how lame.)
- NOT complaining. No bitching, moaning, lloriqueo, belly-aching, or mourn over the waves, other surfers, your boss, or whatever. Shut up. Nobody wants to hear.
- THE BEST most surfers riding the waves, like the big fish eats the most food and small fish must fight to survive and get bigger. Leave your credentials on the beach. The only thing that matters in the line-up is surfing ability.
- SURF hierarchy extends to breaks as well. The best surfers of the best surf spots. Do not try to learn in a world class wave, you do not even have a chance. If you feel intimidated in the water, go somewhere else. There exists an obligation to be a better student. The beach breaks, good surfers will meet in the best-sand bar, but usually there are plenty of other sand bars for beginners get sucked into practice during falls.
SURF etiquette is subject to immediate change at any time due to their size and attitude. Should 250 lb gorilla says you dropped in on his wave, say it is sad, even if it did not. Police officers can not swim. NO garbage. Never, never. Not water, not in the parking lot, not on the road to the beach. No cigarette butts, beer cans no, no granola bar wrappers, not fluff his pocket, nothing, nothing, zip. Someone shot his ass. Do not mess with the animals either. You are at home. The beach is surfing's sacred temple. Treated accordingly.
Knowing your limits. Surfing seems easy from the shore. Not so. Big surf will kick his ass. It drown you dead. Not being a coward, but not moving. If you feel you are in danger, you are.
To see one another. Surfers are your friends. Surfers are his family. Treat as you would have them treated. It can be dangerous in water, and we only have each other to watch their backs. Bring a smile and good vibes for water, and will bring a return.

The Movement of Waves
A wave, in its strictest scientific definition, is a disturbance traveling across half from one place to another. There are a variety of means, from the sounds and light a football stadium cheerful and media buzz. The waves were said that a "phenomenon of transporting energy." As a disturbance moves across half of a particle to its adjacent particle, energy is being transported from one end of support to others. A wave of transporting energy without transporting matter. The waves are seen to move through the ocean, but water always returns to its resting position. Energy is transported through the middle and, however, water molecules are not moving in the direction of energy. This is evidenced by the fact that there is still water in the middle of the ocean.The waves in the ocean are caused by wind. The wind is caused by the storms that develop as a result of changes in seasonal temperatures in the most extreme ends of the earth: the ecuador and near both poles. These seasonal changes in temperature are the result of land elliptical orbit around the sun. The wind from the storm turns the ocean surface constantly in a continuous pattern, generating a continuous disturbance. This disturbance moves through the water until it achieves a different medium: the earth. What is where we come in Surf, somehow, is a study of how these riots to find a new medium, the shore. As the waves reach depths of water, cause friction to slow down, but led them to an increase of more than out of the water. When a wave is forced to rise too high, falls in on itself, surfers are known as "break".
Open waves travel games. This is because disturbances traveling through the water becomes a means of spreading, through which a new wave of energy is moving through ever larger and more invisible wavelengths. To fall within the joint. Much the same way, a pack of cyclists project is outside the pilot initiative, the wave travelling behind the wave of lead is a little easier path through the middle. It moves faster and therefore more wave takes the initiative, becoming the wave itself lead while the previous wave of lead is reduced to the back of the line. A continuous cycle of development of the waves by rotating the lead position within the ranks of each set. Thus the nature conserves energy disruption to travel great distances across the middle of the ocean.
The speed of waves group is 1.5 times the wave period (the number of seconds between wave crests at a fixed point). The individual waves travel twice as fast, at 3 times the period of waves. For example: With 20 seconds swell, swell the size of the group (or groups of waves) travels at 30 knots, while the individual waves travel at 60 knots in deep water before the waves feel the ocean floor and slower near the coast.
All this is very complicated when you start to connect numbers in calculations and formulas to try to determine the direct consequences. There is an endless number of variables. But then again, if only think of the waves, is very crucial. Think of a stretched Slinky refraction vibrations. Think of waves of sunlight and sounds. Think about the wind and stations. Everything makes perfect sense in a way that makes you turn your head to think about anything else.
Sets are something that many surfers come to understand intuitively. On any given day surf eventually acquire an idea of what sets arriving, and how they are changing, ever so slightly, in connection with the tide. Among the series of waves there are rows. The rows can be as important as joint gaps by providing paddle back out through and by forcing the moments of calm and strategy between the frantic encodes for the peak.
Sets, rows and provide wavelengths major metaphors in the way of life is the path and nature operates. Most surfers intuitively absorb those lessons while pursuing his ego-based adrenaline rushes, but some doubt discover the scientific explanations and the reality of his sport for fear of ruining the mystical, almost religious phenomenon that make it feel natural and harmonious way. But the truth is, the discovery of these responses are usually serves to heighten the mystery. It sheds light on how things are working within a single set of principles and parameters established by Mother Nature. And shows us that we too are an essential and active element in the package that includes everything.
