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.

The animation, art style and creativity is sooo good
Always wanted to know this. Thanks Ted-ed! You're the best!
This one was so energetic and positive, thank you so much! I love it!
Love how that water tank scene's animation took in the refraction of light (1:30)
Really solid educational video one again, can't get enough of these well prodused videos :D
I love how everything is just happy in this animation
This channel is just great, I’ve been watching it since a kid

The video I always needed for my life
I like this video. It has unique art, nice music, and hillarious sound effects
I love how whatever you thinking and want to know more about there’s always a KZread video for 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?
The animations are so good!
I just love these videos

Wow, amazing video! I particularly enjoyed the jumping water particles and the animated KZread screen! :) thanks!
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
This was such a fun video!
I loved the art here. I loved the physics too but fantastic job with the art
The animation in this is incredible
top notch animation as always!
Oh ted ed I get swooned by your videos every time ☺
These animations are amazing
Awesome stuff!
Awesome and informative video
Thnx for the info
Love the animation!
The lesson is really flow in my head :)
I love these videos .
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
fantastic animation!
excellent video.
awesome animations!
Great video and animation! Anyone know the program this was done in?
Do more physics videos like these
Great animation!
love the animation ❤
This animation is so good and positive
This video is so satisfying-
Best channel ever 🙏😍
this is honestly the cutest animation style I've ever seen
So cool!
I love it!
I loved this animation, for some reason reminds me of my childhood .
This was so rad
Ted-ed really awesome
LOVE THX
When TED-ED teaches better without pressure than real life Teachers
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
This is SOOO COOL!!!!!!
perfect!
cool animation - lots going on under the surface of the board
Love the narrator!!!
Very fun video
Ur voice is so pleasant and peaceful.......💙👍
Thanks, this helped me with a physics assignment. Credit to TED-Ed :)
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.
I love surfing in the internet and diving into Ted-ed videos
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.
The waves' faces give me joy
Can you guys cooperate with Kurzgesagt? ;D

Are there Oscars for videos.. it should be. This is amazing.
Nice art
The drawing style reminds me a lot of the painting Abaporu by Tarsila do Amaral
Thanks
This is a sunny waving video😀😀😀😀
This channel keeps teaching me things I never really think about .
People in this animation legit scary 😂
I love surfing. It’s been a big part of my life for years.
This was really cool especially since I wanf to learn how to surf.
Totally radical my dude
The concept is such that it took quite a while to understand it despite the good explanation
Hello can anybody tell me how those kinds of videos are created? which programs are used? thanks!
What does the fin under the board affect while on the water ?
CAN'T SIMPLY RESIST CLICKING ON A NEW TED ED VIDEO NOTIFICATION.. ....AND ESPECIALLY ON A FASCINATING TOPIC
