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.

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!

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.

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.

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"?

MaxMercZ
MaxMercZ - 9 years ago
So what's safer low or high tide?
iSURFTRIBE
iSURFTRIBE - 9 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.
