Categorizing waves on this basis leads to three notable categories: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves.

Waves involve the transport of energy without the transport of matter. In conclusion, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location (its source) to another location without transporting matter.

A wave is a kind of oscillation (disturbance) that travels through space and matter. Wave motions transfer energy from one place to another. Waves require some oscillating or vibrating source.

However, all waves have common properties—amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. Amplitude describes how far the medium in a wave moves. Wavelength describes a wave’s length, and frequency describes how often it occurs. Speed describes how quickly a wave moves.

These ten words will make you an expert surfer in any surf chat:

• Awesome: exaggerate whenever you can – the wave was awesome, the ride was awesome, the surfboard is awesome, and you look awesome;
• Cool: surfers are usually cool, so be cool and spread coolness – that’s cool, it sounds cool, and it looks pretty cool;

Smooth waves, usually good surfing conditions. A much larger wave or a set of waves, which breaks further outside than normal. A clean-up set usually “cleans” the line-up of surfers caught further inside. An undesirable situation in which a wave does not break uniformly along its length.

Grom – a young and inexperienced surfer; also known as a grommet. Grubbing – falling off the surfboard while surfing. Gun – a big wave surfboard.

If you search for it on Twitter, “Brah,” with regard to people responding to news stories, is most often used in a way to evoke a certain irony or even dismissive attitude toward its subject. Which in this case is captured by “Brah” — the surfer archetype.

Most locals say Hawaii with the w sound but formally, it should be pronounced Ha-va-ii.

Moke is a term used by residents of the Hawaiian Islands to describe segments of the local Polynesian population. In practice, the word “moke” is similar to “redneck”, as it is only used to describe a certain personality type, instead of an entire ethnic group.
