      @@davidschindewolf do you guys measure the face or the back? often when coastal watch says 3ft, you could stand inside the wave if it was barrelling... if its off the face some of these are easily 10foot.. easily

      @jack-ih7ip 7 лет назад +4

      sneakingmilk depends on where you are measuring from in Australia (where I'm from) we tend to measure waves by the back side of them instead of the face but you are entitled to your own opinion. not trying to start an argument just saying what i think

      LOL at the measure waves by the backside BS. Yeah like that is how you measure a wave. It's the face of the wave that is measured. These waves were consistent 6-8 foot over head with the occasional 10 foot sets.

    the song is awesome... what gives you the right to say something like that about a song just because it's not of your taste... Think about how the artist feels when he sees that comment.... Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to put it down like that for everyone to see.. Because there are loads of people who think the songs amazing...
    In my opinion you are bang out of order with that comment

  • @GeoffCharters

    @taazzyy Hi mate. Download itunes if you don't already have it. Go to the itunes store. Search for "tic toc." Artist name is ALF. It's about $1.69. Thanks mate for watching. Alf will be stoked you asked. He wrote and plays this song. Or if you don't want to use itunes, you can ask Alf by replying to his comment below - alf141000. cheers geoff

  • @CamCollins252
    @CamCollins252 12 лет назад

    When they say 6-8 he either is talking about the backs of the wave or the swell must have been like 6-8 ft at 20 seconds in deepwater (30+ ft), when wave periods are further apart, their energy stretches further down than normal, and wave periods of about 20 seconds become twice the size on shallow water than what they were in deep water. I agree, you should call a waves size by how big it is in shallow water, but this may just have been the forecast.

  • @tommyboyce
    @tommyboyce 12 лет назад

    @taazzyy
    Oh well I guess if everyone loves the song then the artist won't feel so bad about one person not digging it. Having said that, I guess I was a bit rash or untactful and for that I apologize. I wasn't aware the artist would be viewing my comment; I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I wish them every success and thanks again for the spectacular footage.
