About: Surf break

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A surf break (also break, shore break, or big wave break) is a permanent (or semi permanent) obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break, forming a barreling wave or other wave that can be surfed, before it eventually collapses. The topography of the seabed determines the shape of the wave and type of break. Since shoals can change size and location, affecting the break, it takes commitment and skill to find good breaks. Some surf breaks are quite dangerous, since the surfer can collide with a reef or rocks below the water.

dbo:abstract
  • Un shore break (en français « vague de bord », « brisant de rivage » ou encore « rouleau de bord ») est, dans le jargon des surfeurs, une vague très puissante qui a la particularité de se briser près du rivage et donc dans très peu d'eau. Certains shore breaks (hawaïens notamment) forment des vagues « mutantes » qui, combinées à la couleur cristalline de l'eau, permettent des clichés magnifiques, immortalisés par des photographes comme Clark Little.

Some surf breaks are quite dangerous, since the surfer can collide with a reef or rocks below the water. Surf breaks may be defended vehemently by surfers, as human activities and constructions can have unintended and unpredictable consequences on the quality of the break. (en)
