摘要:
This note presents a concise mathematical model that accounts for the physics of surfing. The equilibrium of surfing and its stability is discussed. Analysis reveals the fact that surfing is possible only on a lower part of the front side of the concave surface of a wave. The angle of the wave slope suited for surfing is confined in (-35 degrees,0 degrees).
