The physics of surfing - Nick Pizzo

- Wondering how you can catch the perfect wave? Dive into the fascinating and complex physics of surfing.
--
Whether or not you realize it, surfers are masters of complicated physics. The science of surfing begins as soon as a board first hits the water. Surfers may not be thinking about weather patterns in the Pacific, tectonic geology or fluid mechanics, but the art of catching the perfect wave relies on all these things and more. Nick Pizzo dives into the gnarly physics that make surfing possible.

I really like the voice of the narrarator.
Yeah, who is it?
@@jeeuhmong1629 he is Addison Anderson
This animation is really fluid. hehe
I sea what you did there.
@@user-rl4tg2mr9n I'm getting board of these puns.
@@nottherealpaulsmith Not me. I'm having a whale of a time watching ted-ed and surfing the web
Water you doin man, you are not supposed to comment like that while surfing on the web
@@Thepewdiepiebro5 You are now anemone to me!
I found this video while *_surfing_* the internet
No, taikamuna, not this time.
Very punny
wow , that was do funny im seriously laughing so hard because that was so funny , hilarious even that joke really needed to be made because it was so funny, im laughing it was funny so. funny. 😐
😂
Okay!
Had to watch the video twice because I was so distracted by the amazingly cute animation :)
Oscar Hernandez me too
In my case, the physics of falling because I dont know how to surf ;-;
I read the title as: The physics of suffering
Same here.
Muhngkee Me too.
😂
Addison always does a great job with his narrations and the quality is good as always...
Ted-ed has always been a great teacher and channel for me. Thank you ted-ed keep making these kinds of videos because i love to learn new stuffs everyday💖💖
The animation is LIT!! AMAZING!! matched by the narration and music! learning at its finest haha
I think learning surfing is lot easier than learning science behind it😅
i'm a physics student and i struggle with my surfing abilities, i disagree.
oh no no, one of the hardest sports !
Ikr I’ve learnt it before surfing is pretty easy than science😂
i disagree
@@bhumikajethwani3051 pov u rode a 8 foot foamy
Love how that water tank scene's animation took in the refraction of light
(1:30)
this is honestly the cutest animation style I've ever seen
I love how whatever you thinking and want to know more about there’s always a UA-cam video for it
*_Surfer Dudes have joined the chat!_*
Where did these meme come from?
Hey, you again? Don't you have any work other than commenting on informational videos
every TED-Ed video: good music, good diction and speaking, easy to understand concepts and education, amazing animation = i really want to learn surfing, good thing that i live in CA
Ted-ed has always been a great teacher and channel for me. Adoooooooro.
This channel is just great, I’ve been watching it since a kid
I love how everything is just happy in this animation
The animation, art style and creativity is sooo good
Top big wave surfers are absolutely aware of the weather in the south Pacific. Or the weather in any of the oceans for that matter. They're constantly looking at the weather and ocean currents and fly around the world to where they predict the best waves to be
Yet , Another great video by Ted-education
Thank you mates
I love surfing in the internet and diving into Ted-ed videos
The video I always needed for my life
Best channel ever 🙏😍
I really like physics. Dr. Hawker is a cool teacher. F=ma, d=1/2at^2 with a = 9.8 m/s^2 and when an object is starting at rest. Here is the force: F=ma, so F=m*9.8. F is in N and m is in kg.
lol interesting fin set up @2:26
CAN'T SIMPLY RESIST CLICKING ON A NEW TED ED VIDEO NOTIFICATION..
....AND ESPECIALLY ON A FASCINATING TOPIC
I love these videos .
This was such a fun video!
The animations are so good!
I like this video. It has unique art, nice music, and hillarious sound effects
These animations are amazing
The animation in this is incredible
Are there Oscars for videos.. it should be. This is amazing.
When TED-ED teaches better without pressure than real life Teachers
I just love these videos
Love the narrator!!!
I love surfing. It’s been a big part of my life for years.
Love the animation!
Ted-ed really awesome
Always wanted to know this. Thanks Ted-ed! You're the best!
The waves' faces give me joy
This animation is so good and positive
Ted-Ed I don’t care if this has anything to do with myths and legends I want a video on Atalanta or Achilles.
awesome animations!
Oh ted ed I get swooned by your videos every time ☺
fantastic animation!
This is the first animation you guys have done with which the images on screen are distracting from the script. Had to watch it twice just to catch things I missed.
This was so rad
Awesome and informative video
Well done Ted Ed! Great video and animations but I found it distracting when trying to take in information over the slightly too loud music. Thank you for teaching us something new and interesting everyday
This is a sunny waving video😀😀😀😀
Ur voice is so pleasant and peaceful.......💙👍
love the animation ❤
This one was so energetic and positive, thank you so much! I love it!
2:51 With the best barrels you can pull in and just get spit right out of em. And you just drop in and you smack the lip! Woh pah!! You drop down and sbaaaaah! And then after that, you just drop in and just ride the barrel and get pitted... so pitted...
What a beautifully made video!
The lesson is really flow in my head :)
Awesome stuff!
This is SOOO COOL!!!!!!
This video is so satisfying-
Love the animation really made it simple to understand
This channel keeps teaching me things I never really think about .
Thnx for the info
I loved this animation, for some reason reminds me of my childhood
.
I love it!
Hey TedEd. I really, really loved your videos! They're educational and also not boring to watch.
Btw, can you please make a video about the science behind all of the infinity stones from MCU?
These videos taught me more than school
I loved the art here. I loved the physics too but fantastic job with the art
So cool!
Totally radical my dude
Really solid educational video one again, can't get enough of these well prodused videos :D
Do more physics videos like these
People in this animation legit scary 😂
Wow, amazing video! I particularly enjoyed the jumping water particles and the animated UA-cam screen! :) thanks!
The vioce over is very pleasant to listen.
cool animation - lots going on under the surface of the board
soon going to hit 10M
Very fun video
No phisics phenom or concept mentioned
Can you guys cooperate with Kurzgesagt? ;D
Collaborate u mean?
Ted Ed continues to make me feel smarter. ,😅
Never knew I did that much physics in my brain .
Thanks, this helped me with a physics assignment. Credit to TED-Ed :)
excellent video.
perfect!
3:36 When a ted-ed video shows up
LOVE THX
Thanks
Here's a tip, the biggest waves are on Hawaii's northern shores during the winter months. That's because Alaska storms blow all the way south to Hawaii, and with no land to block it, the waves are epic.
Nice art
Good video
It's crazy cause I just saw the wildly acclaimed Guinness surfing ad (well, allegedly anyway. I personally thought the ad was meh at best, but whatever) and was wondering how surfing works when Phill recommended this video.
Information I retained from this video:
Water is blue, waves are formed and off you GOOOOOooooooooo
Isn't the surfer simply relying on gravity to pull them down a "hill" of water? Similar to a snow sled on a hill. This video does not explain how gravity factors into things very well.
top notch animation as always!
The effort and time that must’ve gone into the animation is incredibly. Good job, TedEd
Oh... Beautiful
Surf's up dude!
I feel like the animators were like: hey science colleagues, can we make a video on surving and science stuff?😂😂
The Legendary voice 💚
