(i’m 32 years old and i’ve never surfed)

(central component of ancient ‘polynesian’ culture)

(chief of the tribe was the most skilled surfer)

My cousin Danny Coury was a surfer

‘Swell’ –>

formation of long-wavelength surface waves

Fetch, often called the fetch length, is a term for the length of water over which a given wind has blown.

Wave Strength –>

Strength of wind / Duration of wind / Length of fetch

(surf tends to be larger and more prevalent on coastlines exposed to large expanses of ocean traversed by intense low-pressure systems)
