matter and motion surfing


What did we do?

I know many things help make a great wave, like storm systems, swirl directions and the wind. But I decided to narrow my investigation and look at two types of breaks. I picked a beach break and a reef break. I surfed both while my friends recorded how long I was on a wave and how many maneuvers I did. Then I rated my own speed on a scale of 1 to 5.

Test Reef break Beach break
Longest ride 6 seconds 15 seconds
Most maneuvers 4 9
Speed (1-5 scale) 3 4
