Gee guys, why believe what you see on the internet? Just go down to the ocean where you can see waves from the side (breakwaters into harbours are usually good for this) on a fairly windless day, throw a block of wood out and watch.

Yeah, I am much chagrined that when I watched one of the electronic wave simulations, I realized that I had strong memories of exactly that motion, in the form of kelp fronds. I knew it, but I did not know it. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
