the coast of each line what happens in
the coast of each line what happens in the river is rather than the weight
the river is rather than the weight
the river is rather than the weight moving across the water you have the

in the ocean once you’re on your board
in the ocean once you’re on your board wave will be moving forward say at 10
wave will be moving forward say at 10
wave will be moving forward say at 10 miles an hour which means that you’re
miles an hour which means that you’re
miles an hour which means that you’re moving over the over the water’s surface
moving over the over the water’s surface
moving over the over the water’s surface at 10 miles an hour and the river the
at 10 miles an hour and the river the
at 10 miles an hour and the river the wave or the water be going over the rock
wave or the water be going over the rock
wave or the water be going over the rock at 10 miles an hour so while you are
at 10 miles an hour so while you are
at 10 miles an hour so while you are according to a GPS coordinates
according to a GPS coordinates
according to a GPS coordinates stationary you’re still moving over the
stationary you’re still moving over the
stationary you’re still moving over the water surface at 10 miles now so the
water surface at 10 miles now so the
water surface at 10 miles now so the feeling of your board is identical but
