A Surfer’s Dream

i want to watch some videos (on the internet) of surfers surfing 1-4ft waves, or close around that…. where?

thanks

www.youtube.com
www.surfline.com

Very good videos on both sites.

I reccomend surfline.

very good. the aves are extremely heavy and if you mess up you may have the Weight of a house falling on top of you. If you are really keen to start big wave surfing i recomend you keep on practising until you feel totally prepared and ready. When you do decide to start research Well and find some experianced friends and people to come With you and help out!
good luck

I am going to buy a surfboard. I have surfed a couple times. I wanted a beginner board that will last until I get a little better. What is the best brand and type or board for a beginner?

Aiyeeeee!! Doesn’t ANYBODY EVER read the Resolved questions? Okay Cody, I don’t mean to be rude, so let’s answer your question.

Having surfed a "couple times" doesn’t really mean that you can surf. Lessons are the best way to start. Lessons can come from a professional instructor, or surfing family members or experienced surfing friends. You have to learn surf etiquette (so the experienced surfers in the line up don’t want to drown you), how to paddle and take off on a wave, and how to ride a wave. The last thing experienced surfers want is for inexperienced people to just grab a board, rush into the surf and get in our way. Lessons shorten the learning curve significantly. And they help keep ignorant, un-prepared kooks out of the water and out of the way of more experienced surfers.

Beginners should take advantage of renting boards and wetsuits while taking lessons. If it turns out you don’t like surfing, you haven’t wasted a whole lot of money on gear that you are not going to use. When you are ready to buy, don’t waste your time on line, go to a good local surf shop to discuss your size (weight is import, height isn’t), skill level and local wave conditions. After almost 43 years of surfing, I still get my surfboard buying advice from good local shops in the places where i surf.

Almost ALL instructors will start you off on a longboard. It is just too difficult for most people to leran how to surf on a short board. Most get quickly discouraged, and just quit. Now, over the years, I have seen some young surfers start out on short boards and master them in time. But it’s just common sense to learn on a long board.

When you are ready to buy please avoid popouts in general, and especially popouts made in third world country sweat shops by People whop have probably never seen the ocean.

Here is a list of sweat shop popouts:http://bp3.blogger.com/_hPACOtZKKko/RkSTwhvv9kI/AAAAAAAAAfg/QMqBFAtXzQ4/s1600-h/chinaboards.jpg

And here is why to avoid ALL popouts:http://www.mckevlins.com/nopopstory.htm

Anybody who would give you SPECIFIC advice as to what size or type board to buy on-line is foolish. Anybody who would take that advice is more foolish

And, I know there are lots of nice kids who want to share information with you on line. But don’t take the advice from youngsters, who may know even less than you do about surfing, a surfboard is a big investment. I hope you are mature enough to read through the BS that lots of people throw at you on line. Don’t waste your time on line, go straight to the source, a good local shop
Good luck!

What are sound waves and how do they travel?

Know how we measure waves: frequency, amplitude, and wavelength.

The wavelength of a wave can be found by measuring what?

Know how heat is transferred: Convection, Conduction and Radiation

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

its a vibration and if a sound was louder the sound wave would be thinner and travel faster

wavelength is top to top how many cenimeters
amplitude middle of the wave length to the top
frequeacy is erm…

this should help

I’m looking to upgrade my phone and i want my new phone to be capable of surfing the internet. I’ve currently got a Nokia N73 and its internet surfing capabilities are not up to my requirements. any suggestions?

In addition to the headset, the provider’s network is also important. Try providers with 3G, like ATT, Verizon etc. Also your antenna bars should high enough to better utilize phone capabilities.

What can I say — Laird Hamilton is the shite! And Stacy Peralta is almost as bad as him. First the Bones Bridgade, then DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS followed by the best surfing doc ever? I think BIG WEDNESDAY will always be my true love of surfing movies, but in the doc-shop, RIDING GIANTS rules. This is a just a clip of the man himself — Laird Hamilton — riding just a wave, that just happens to be one of the greatest rides in surfing history.
