El tamaño de las olas

Como ya pasamos de los 200 votos en la encuesta en la que preguntaba:
¿cuantos metros dirías que mide una ola que tiene la misma altura que una puerta?
Decidí hacer una entrada comentando los resultados.

Yo pienso que ya escuché de todo sobre este tema:

- que las olas se miden por atrás: mi punto de vista es que no están reflejando bien la realidad, porque una ola puede tener un metro por detrás y 7 por delante como teahupoo. Además vosotros por donde surfeais la ola por delante o por detrás? Entonces que mas da lo que mida por detrás?

- que se miden en metros reales desde la parte vertical de la ola....: cosa que no acabo de entender porque hai olas que tienen 5 metros de alto y no tienen ninguna parte de la ola totalmente vertical, las tendidas.

- Que se miden desde el nivel del mar (que no es igual a la base de la ola)

- Y, posiblemente, la medida más difundida (a la que le llamo “metro surfero”) en la que el primer metro tiene el tamaño de una persona de pie, y a partir de la cabeza se mide en metros reales... (creo que es así). A pesar de que es la medida más difundida, no la acabo de entender muy bien

Pues nos encontramos con la situación de que el METRO, una medida internacional, algo OBJETIVO, relacionado con las matemáticas que es el idioma universal, algo en lo que hasta Zapatero y Rajoi coincidirían (los dos creen que un metro son 100 cm)...no es igual para unos surfistas que para otros. En el mundo del surf el metro es algo subjetivo y cada uno tiene el suyo. Cada uno es libre de medir como quiera....pero teneis que reconocer que útil, lo que se dice útil no es.

Pues bien... me sorprendieron gratamente los resultados de la encuesta porque no sabía que había tanta gente que pensara como yo.

Resulta que de 221 surfistas...(que no son pocos)110 son.....casi la mitad jeje. Este es el gráfico con los porcentajes
Photobucket

72 personas (entre las que me incluyo) dirían que una ola del tamaño de una puerta mediría 2 metros.

Otros 72 surfistas dirían un metro. Pero la mitad de estos piensan que deberíamos de decir 2 m. Si sumamos esta mitad, a los 72 mencionados anteriormente...resulta que 108 de 221 personas creen que debemos de decir 2m.

Por otro lado tambien tenemos a 4 personas que dirían un cuarto de metro, 14 que dirían medio metro, 2 que dirían 3 cuartos de metro (en “others), y 17 que dirían 2,5 m.

Ahora, despues de ver esto.... si un surfista os dice que pilló olas de 2m....con que cara os quedais??


Me da como verguenza, que, en un mundo tan grande como el del surf, con tantos surfistas como somos, que no tengamos una forma común de medir las olas.
Ojo! No me obsesiona ni me importa el tamaño de las olas...lo puedo pasar mejor un día con 50 cm de ola que otro con 250 cm.
Pero lo que considero que sería bueno es que haya un convenio para que todos nos entendamos y no tengamos que andar especificando que si metros reales, que si media puerta, que si 2 metros de los de fulanito.... No se si me explico. Se trata de mejorar la comunicación entre surfistas!


UN EJEMPLO:

No os daría la risa si presenciais lo siguiente? (ya voy yo con mis comparaciones):

Dos tios pesando, y Manolo coge una robaliza tremenda. Manolo dice: “mira pedazo de robaliza! Esto pesa por lo menos 7 kilos!!

Y el otro (Pepe) le dice:-“ pero a donde vas animaaall!! Que eso no pasa de los 3 kilos!
- “mecajuntal, que me apuestas?!
- “lo que quieras!”

Van a pesar el pez y finalmente pesa 3 kilos


Pepe, lleno de razón dice: -“Veeeees!? Ya te dije yo que pesaba 3 y no 7, animal!”
Y Manolo: -“ AAAH NOO!, PERO ES QUE PARA MI 7 KILOS DE ROBALIZA SON 3 KILOS REALES!

En fin, esto aún podría seguir con ejemplos del estilo:

-En Canarias no pesca peces de más de kilo y medio, porque un kilo para ellos son 5 de los nuestros....

-si, mira, que te explico como mido yo... el primer kilo para mi son 1800 gramos, el segundo kilo son 1300, y a partir de ahí mido en kilos reales.

Yo doy mi opinión de como creo que debería de ser la medida de las olas....pero me gustaría que los que miden diferente tambien expongan sus opiniones y argumenten los motivos por los que lo hacen....si lo hacen por convencionalismo, por que les enseñaron así, porque lo consideran lógico...etc

Sé que es difícil cambiar un convencionalismo “tan extendido”....pero tambien antes las mujeres no podían llevar pantalones... no?

Un abrazo!

One of the factors that can influence the outcome of your program is that many bookmakers set maximum stake limits which can keep you from placing your full wager, so make sure that there in no max limit with any of the bookies that you are dealing with.

One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.

So you are based in the United States and worried about your money and current situation, right? If so, there is one thing that you should do right away in order to protect yourself. Close down your account, and switch your funds over to an offshore or overseas service. Not only will this ensure that you are doing everything legally, but you will also be able to keep your money safe. If you are like a lot of players you may have quite a bit of money in your online gambling account. Do you want to lose all of that if something happens? It is better to be safe than sorry in this case.

So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:

- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.

- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.

t Before embarking on a camping trip, thoroughly inspect your gear to make sure it is in proper working order. Make sure your tent has no holes and that you have adequate tent stakes and a ground cloth to pitch it. Make sure that you have working water filter, or verify that the campground you are staying in has water. For potentially cool weather, arm and leg warmers are available to slip on and off as the temperatures change. The best ones have high-tech insulation fabrics like a stretchy fleece that fits snugly. When looking for gloves, the best ones have a padded leather or synthetic-leather palm. [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycle Jersey[/url] WarningThe primary concern with blood blisters is development of an infection. This is more of a concern once they've been punctured. In fact, the Sports Injury Clinic advises not draining a blood-filled blister. Pool-Based ExerciseAccording to United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), an international non-profit charitable organization and advocate for adults and children with disabilities, water or aquatic therapy is an important, low-impact and therapeutic activity for people of all ages. Aquatic therapy involves performing pool-based aerobic endurance and conditioning exercises, such as walking, jogging, jumping, swimming and kicking, in either indoor or outdoor pool facilities. These exercises are intended to boost your metabolism and up-regulate your cardiovascular function..

BenefitsThe benefit is from the information a monitor provides. Ideally, you should exercise within your target heart rate zone for optimal fitness. This range is between 60 to 95 percent of your maximum heart rate, explains the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Make sure both feet are planted entirely on the step during this processes. For those who prefer the rustic flavor of cooking over an open fire, a Dutch oven is perfect for cooking almost anything. Made from cast iron, these sturdy pots have been used to provide generations of camping enthusiasts with hot and hearty meals. A cast iron skillet is great for frying and sauteing, and is heavy enough to stand up to the extreme temperatures of a fire. A single drop of poison will contaminate pure water, turning it into poison as well, while the acid will eat through the dirt and react with water, destroying both fluids. If either poison or acid reaches the inlet, the level is failed and must be re-started. Both the poison and the acid will destroy the rubber ducks on contact.Shopping at premier outdoor outfitters such as Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops and LL Bean are options for those who need an item right away or enjoy hands shopping as opposed to online. These stores sell the more popular brands of bags such as Cabela's Lafuma, Mammut's Island and Slumberjack.
