A few thoughts on surfing

Rachelle 2022-03-24 09:01:48

I have always liked this surfing movie (I think this is a surfing movie..) Today, I suddenly remembered the heroine's wetsuit, turned it over and watched it again, because I also started surfing, so I have some new discoveries

1. The beach the hostess goes to is a reef beach. This kind of beach will have a bigger and stronger reef break, which is why the hostess said that Texas also has a sea, but it is not like this. At the end of the sea, Texas may be an ordinary sandy beach at the bottom of the coral. Beach surfing is more advanced. Generally, only intermediate and advanced players dare to fall. The probability of injury is very high. The waves will be stronger and difficult for beginners to control.

2. The name of the film is shallow, which means shallow talk. In fact, most people paddling and surfing the wave break will not be too far from the coast. Of course, some people rent boats to go surfing in the depths of the sea. There may also be waves in the depths of the sea. break because waves are formed because of a change in seabed conditions such as a sudden shallowness or something sticking out

3. Wearing so many accessories while surfing is not good

4. The female protagonist uses a short board and a short board to avoid the waves that have collapsed or are about to collapse. When using a duck dive, it is the way to dive into the water in the film. Get back the board this way

5. The buoyancy of the short board is generally only half of that of the long board. It is easier to lose balance and fall into the water, and it is more difficult to paddle, so the female protagonist sits on the board and her body sinks in the water. Transitioning from a longboard to a shortboard is a difficult and long process. .

6. The heroine starts by asking a local person is there anything gnarly i should know about it is very important to go to a strange place to surf and directly challenge the hardest wave (Some places fluctuate once a day, some twice a day, depending on the position of the moon, the sun and the earth, the tides are constantly changing), etc.

7. Rip Curl is the most expensive surfing brand in Australia. The price is about 100-200AUD more expensive than other brands. It is also the only brand I use for surfing suits. I personally think that the technology of rip curl surfing suits is the best among all Australian brands. Unethical news about using cheap North Korean labor for manufacturing

8. The sunscreen used by the heroine seems to be a banana boat. It should not be the kind that protects corals. It is best to buy reef-safe sunscreens when going into the water.
