centrifugal force is not a real force, and also the earth and the moon do not orbit each other, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth. If my physics teacher sees this he will be mad.

I'll let this marinate into my psyche! Wave knowledge!

Thank you for helping me cram for my Earth Science exam tomorrow. Effective.

Thanks

The Earth's spin causes diurnal and semi-diurnal tidal changes. You mentioned the Moon going around the Earth several times. Otherwise, this is a great video. Thanks for posting!

Love all the lessons, but I'm not sure I got why low tides can be better for shorter period seells.

Haha no dumb girl. Have you ever heard of the Coriolis Effect and how ocean currents works? You can't just rely on sources with no level of authority. A person with high authority are individuals who are experts in certain fields. This is of course based on their qualification/s and level of study. If you believe all that shit you read online from an unreliable source, written by some horny uneducated dumbwit, it makes it hard for me to believe people like you exists.

Thanks for the info! I'd love to see an explanation of the tides using a Flat Earth Model!

i wanna start surfing but im from the city and i have no friends who love the ocean like me but i dont wanna be loner surfing how can i make friends in the surf without looking like a weirdo?

artisticagi - 7 years ago

Victor Romero just start surfing, I am sure new friends will come to you!!!! They will see you surfing alone and start talking to you. And don't be afraid to do things alone. You don't have to be held back from doing what you really want because of others.

This guy has a "666" on his shirt....and is an obvious retard. I hope the guy in this video is reading this. You are a coward....and a retard. Never trust anyone who cant even wear a ball cap properly. Wake up people.

Can you do a video of the best conditions for surfing barrels?

Rico Castro - 8 years ago

Really good explanation. Finally someone that can explain this stuff in a way that makes sense. It's surprisingly hard to find good info on this kind of stuff. Especially liked the video on how to choose the right wave to catch. That immediately helped me pick better waves.

+Bill Addison where's this vid, I just got myself a volar plate injury, displacement and fractured my fingers, so doing some research while I cant get out to try ebb the longing and frustration, is there a link to the vid "how to choose the right wave"?

Mallory Formoso - 9 years ago

very informative!

MaxMercZ - 10 years ago

So what's safer low or high tide?

iSURFTRIBE - 10 years ago

+MaxMercZ depends on the break really...sometimes hi tide can be really soft and mushy, meaning more approachable, and sometimes hi tide means the waves will roll all the way in a dump close to the beach...and in other cases low tides can be more dangerous because it may expose rocks or make the waves steep and hollow...do some research on your local breaks...surfline.com and wannasurf.com can give a little insight

Do a video about skimboarding. I know it's not actually surfing, but it'll be helpful to give a video.
