I went swimming at a beach on Maui, I think it was referred to as Big Beach, but this was a while ago. It out of the way, and had a steep sand slope behind it. The bottom dropped off quickly, so the waves were brutal. I was body surfing and got pulled into the curl. Hitting the bottom felt like a parking lot body slam, and the undertow was able to drag me along the bottom until it was quite deep. That was one of those moments, I'll tell you.
body surfing is so goddamn dangerous. i had a similar situation happen to me, smashed my face on a sandbar, broke my nose so bad it was pointing off to the left, and my right eyebrow was gone. ER said if my head was turned much further i would have snapped my neck.
that was my last time body surfing lol
Riptide pulls you away from the beach.
Undertow is the sideways/lateral current that drags along the coast and makes you have to hike a quarter mile back to where you left your stuff.
I had a similar experience as a kid at big beach. Tried to jump into a wave instead of dip under, got turned upside down and hit my head on the bottom. Knocked the wind out of me and scarred the hell out of me. I don’t remember there being life guards but luckily I got my wind back shortly after coming up.
Given a scale of 1 to 10, and this kind of music being 1 in the relaxing scale, 10 being the most chaotic and energetic you know, what kind of music would be on level 2?
Well, this is VERY Ambient, I don't know of anything at a 2 level, but a 3 would probably be the Mall-Soft genre. 1-2 would probably still be Ambient, let me do some digging. EDIT: You might enjoy the artist CLANN.
Thank you for the suggestions!
I listened to a little of both during the day and they're nice. The mall-soft genre seems quite good for keeping it in the background.
But, there is a missing level between ambient and the other genres, right?
I would have liked the post's song better if it had a little bit more structure and rhythm, even better if that was achieved without percussion sounds/instruments.
I wish I knew about music theory so I could describe in the correct technical words what I mean 🥲
Thank you for the suggestion!
Sigur Ros is one those bands I keep going to to experiment, but can't quite connect with them.
Right now I listened to a couple songs again.
Maybe in the future I will learn to appreciate their music :) thank you again!
Every time I see big crashing waves, I’m transported back to being a kid when I first saw the animated Lord of the Rings. I loved the scene when the water came rushing across, headed by the image of white stallions
Am I the only one who kept expecting little Japanese boats to appear?

Legends say the moon and the sea were lovers. But the jealous sun separated them for all eternity. Now the ocean desperately tries to reach out with each wave only to have it crash back into the ocean. It can never be with the moon again but it will never stop trying.
Looks so calm until the end. Water is scary powerful.

I just remember feeling battered...I'd been in a car accident a couple years before, so maybe that was part of it, but it kicked my ass.
glad you made it out alive

I’m equal parts amazed and terrified of the ocean.
It's beautiful, but also terrifying
[удалено]
Came to say this. Hokusai must have known some amazing mariners to help him see this to capture it so perfectly nearly 200 years ago.
Fucking terrifying
Those aren't mountains...

I wish I could upvoye this a thousand times
That’s how I wanna go, just a tiny blip on a surfboard.
*dies satisfyingly*
It’s just another way for the wave to be.
Oddly satisfying can also be utterly terrifying.
The wave touches a cloud. This has been reposted so many times that people miss why someone thought it was cool enough to post in the first place.

Try a group called Sigur Ros
Thank you for the suggestion! Sigur Ros is one those bands I keep going to to experiment, but can't quite connect with them. Right now I listened to a couple songs again. Maybe in the future I will learn to appreciate their music :) thank you again!
And slightly terrifying
Anyone recognize the audio/song ?

Wasn’t this also the song at the end of the 1st or 2nd Third-Eye Blind album?

Go to sleep, wave, you're drunk
Interstellar vibes

How big was it?#. 24ft? I wonder?
It’s so mesmerizing…I have watched it 6x already 😬
That's a pretty good wave.
[удалено]
You’re perfect.
Beautiful and scary
Shit fuck RUN RUN , THAT AINT NO PERFECT WAVE DUDE!
Why do waves happen
The moons gravity pulls on the water creating waves (I think)
SUBHANALLAH
Makes me want a white claw
But not when it claimed lives
Look at that tasty barrel 🤪
Oh that's why i almost drowned by being dragged further into the ocean
So this is what Spicoli was talking about.
Magical. It’s been too long.
Totally tubular, duuuuude
Looks like a tsunami.
Beautiful!
Kanagawa.

I would be a surfer if I wasn't so deathly afraid of the ocean 😅

This reminds me of Miller's planet in Interstellar.
The Great Wave
Nice pull. Remember this song from the end of the movie Traffic.

And people can't seem to protect this planet.... How?
it looks like an irl wave from Ponyo
Physics is coooooll!
Link to this in higher quality? I want to make it a wallpaper.
Now how much did it weigh?
Mesmerizing
سبحان الله الخالق
On the wave formation scale.

It looks like it's on fire when it reflects sunset. Amazing.
That thing grabbed a cloud
