Unit 9- Slater

This wonderful photograph of Kelly Slater surfing at pipeline explains this unit because he is on a wave. That is the main thing we are learning about in this unit. Kelly here is surfing on a transverse wave. This means that his wave is perpendicular to the direction in which he is going. Now, being the great surfer that he is, Kelly is able to utilize the various amplitudes of the waves to his advantage. The change in the amplitude of the wave allows Kelly to surf said wave for a longer period of time; making it infinitely cooler for on lookers like my self who have no idea how to surf, much less how to even stand up on the board. Ok, I'm lying, I tried surfing once; never again.
