my senior thesis please respond

swell period, swell height, wind direction/speed, swell direction, tidal times

not sure if this is what you're looking for but if you search the threads you'll find plenty of stuff about hurricanes

 

Engage in.. Are you referring to basically conversation that would take place amongst surfers after hearing of a tropical swell on the way?

If this is the case, I think the universal word "stoked" would come to mind. Now if this was discussion among surfers I think that the first things to look for would be excitement, and then begin the process of how to plan for the best possible surfing conditions. Meaning, I would get on the horn with a surfing buddy, ask him if he has checked the forecast models for the swell, what are the winds looking like, also the tides, for areas that are supposed to see the swell and where we should go to, to possibly get the cleanest and least crowded areas. The main areas of communication would be discussing the direction and angle of the swell, then looking at the winds around a large area of breaks to see which break will have the best winds and tides for that swell.. Lastly bring into account crowd as a factor. " Hmmm, now I wonder where we should go with this 7ft at 14 sec. SE long period ground swell expected to peak at mid to rising high tide on Monday Sept 13 , predicted with NE winds at 10 knots for most of the south east coast and would be uncrowded?" That is where research and local knowledge comes in. So basically meteorology, geography and a bit of oceanography enter the discussion to score a good session. Hope this helps..

 

Weak. A thesis is not a question. Your English skills are inferior.

My senior thesis about surfing blows yours away.

"Throughout its history, surfing, in all forms, has had an indelible impact on mainstream culture."

 

Thats deep man

 

It's open to interpretation.

 

im feelin it

 

communicative responses? i don't understand what your focus is.

Who are "they" responding to?

you left some empty voids in your description there.

 

Me to boss, "yeah I must have gotten some bad food from the Wendy's, can't make it in today so sick."

 

I undertand what you are getting at, but I think you should restate the way the question is phrased.

When you say communicative response, to me, that means that means some sort of person to person interaction.

And, it sounds like you are looking for the driving forces from an individual stand point on why they do the things they do to engage in chasing down hurricane surf. I dont think communicative is the right word here.

 

Sure I would. If my home court was a bunch of scrubs who played on broken concrete with shards of glass all over it and I could drive 8 hours to play with some of the best in the world at Madison Square Garden. If I were a golfer I'd drive 8 hours to play Pebble Beach over the local municipal course.
I once explained to a co-worker why I always wanted to work out my schedule and trade days off to surf this way: If you played golf and there were great courses all around you but it rained over 325 days of the year wouldn't you try to rearrange your schedule when you saw the clouds were going to part on Tuesday but you were off on Wednesday?

On a side note, when 8 people respond saying they don't understand what your asking "I meant just that" is a terrible answer.

 

how do you prove a question?

 

Dudes, my brain is about to spontaneously combust with logic.

 

Actually no one is driving 8 hours for 3 waves in a weekend. When there are hurricane swells we stay out most of the day and catch many many waves usually. And unlike surfing basketball and other type sports have many locations to play day, night, rain or shine, but the lure of surfing is catching such a fleeting thing as a wave and feeling that stoke even if for only 2 seconds. I am guessing by your statement that you are not a surfer and therefor probably should not write a paper trying to understand us. The feeling you get from a wave and the dedication surfing takes to time everything right on those nice days we do get is not possible for an outsider to understand. God knows my boss doesn't!

 

A thesis isn't supposed to be a question. Your thesis states what you are going to prove. You can't prove a question. You do research to prove the point you present in your thesis. You don't ask an open-ended question. You are wrong.

 

This makes no sense. You are wrong, too.
