surfing + psychology + oceanography sub cult

This is a page from wetsand.com



What does this chart say? It basically predicts the mood and behavior of surfers for a period of one week.

The darkest color [dark blue] means that there will be grumpy Manila surfers. They will be pissed off because they will be stuck in Manila again doing nothing. Some will even pray for waves using their Facebook status messages.

Now what if the color turns from dark blue to light whatever? It's at that exact moment when the surfer's mood suddenly lightens up too. You will see more smiles. And there will be more status messages about the ocean, the waves, and the surfspots they are going to hit.

As for an unsubcultured bodyboarder like me, I just use the chart of chance. Kung meron, eh di meron. Kung wala, inom at tambay nalang.
