4 Oceans How 2 Swim & Act 2 Survive Surf Zone Currents

If you are a parent or guardian and are worried about losing your Children or Child to the Forces of the 4 Oceans, or a Child who would like to become “Surf Zone Wise and a Water-Baby of Yin and Yang's "Aqua-In-Motion at Play" or individuals who are simply tired of hearing of so many children, teens and adults drowning in the World's 4 Oceans, then afford yourselves the opportunity to gain insights and understandings of Yin and Yang's motions of movements, in your World's 4 Ocean's Aqua-Forces, for these forces are easy to see and understand, once you chose to develop your own personal "Aqua-Sight" of your 4 Oceans.

Nature’s Yin and Yang Forces, have not changed in the “World’s 4 Oceans”, for billions of years, they are the same today and tomorrow when you go to your chosen beach.

The only thing that has changed is the many misunderstandings of the "Forces of Yin and Yang "within all Currents, of your World's 4 Oceans.

Yin and Yang's Aqua In Motions at Play, do not hide from you, and always teach those who are prepared to want to see, feel and flow with the “Presence of Aqua-Blue Magic". 

"Aqua-Lifestyles Chosen by and of Aqua", afford those who embrace the joys & gifts of Surf Zones, to experience a presence of calm with the absence of worry of the past, present or future, with the Soul Mind-set of anticipation of embracing the future joy of surfing a wave, or swimming in the presence of you with "Aqua". 

A holiday, a weekend or just another day becomes your mind-set to just be you, as your World's 4 Ocean's separated you from the World's Negative Emotions.

You will hear " People calling these emotions: "The Call of the Sea", your World's 4 Ocean's

Todays “Global Children’’ are picture and video orientated and if they receive misunderstandings and incorrect knowledge of Yin and Yang's "Aqua-In-Motions at Play", then this results in devastating consequences of setting up children to give up mentally when they are caught in “Rip Currents, Side-Currents and Outward-Pulling- Surges on Sandbanks", surrounded by the easy to see, identify and understand "Forces of Yin and Yang can help children save their own lives ".

4 Free. Understandings and insights on how to preserve your life in your “Aqua-Playgrounds”

Children who gain these insights and understandings will be prepared mentally to deal with Ocean Current Movements and the "Aqua-Forces" within if they are pushed or pulled into their "Ocean's Playgrounds". 

Children will be able to understand the various forces at play, at any given time and the cycles of the various wave actions and they're resulting effects on their Aqua Playgrounds", that can be seen with the  naked eye,  for those who choose to see “Nature’s Yin and Yang's Forces of Aqua-In-Motions at Play."

 Children and individuals who gain this knowledge will be able to use their mental brain-power and conserve their body’s energy, to gain hope of looking ahead and seeing their present water environment’s visible signs, for a thinking and insightful mind creates calmness, for one cannot panic if one is seeing the signs of the various "Aqua-In-Motion-Points", of your World’s 4 Ocean’s Surf Zone Forces at Play.

A journey that begins on paths that are known, creates calmness and enlightenment of known routines, paths and end destinations, which results in no panicking but allows for the enjoyments, insights, and understandings of the present surroundings and the end destination.

At present your World's 4 Ocean's are been made out to be some unfathomable mystery, that not even Rocket Scientists or Oceanographers can work out these so-called mystery currents.

Don't worry you will soon see and understand that your World's 4 Ocean's are easy to see and understand, for you have seen 2-year-olds get handed a cell phone and in the shortest of time, they are watching videos and listening to music.

Now give this same cell phone to an elderly person, who can read and write, and they won't be able to find the music or videos, because they keep saying they can not do it, and this is a human trait, that if you say you can't do it, then you definitely won't be able to do it.

All children today are tech-savvy, and if you surfed the internet, and looked up fishing apps of ocean currents, temperature and satellite pictures, you could become an expert very fast, all you would have to do is read, watch videos and listen for you to understand.

The same applies to this text. You could even be a child, teen or adult who has never even touched an Ocean or even know how to swim, just read, or watch Siobhan's Videos, or go to her free lessons, for you will then be " Surf Zone Wise and know-how 2 Swim & Act 2 Survive Surf Zones and the various Currents within, to protect your life for you to enjoy the " Aqua Blue Magic of your 4 Oceans". 

At present many children,teens and adults will often here lifeguards globally telling you to swim between their flags on the beach.

Unfortunately you won't here the reasons why, for many of the beach signs globally will show you that you can escape rips on anyside of an out flowing rip current, which is not true and sets up children to have the wrong understandings of their 4 Ocean's Surf Zone dangers.

Now if you would like to understand how to protect yourself and your brother or sister in  your Surf Zones this is how you can achieve it to enjoy your water activities.

Lifeguards will be seen blowing their whistle and waving frantically and at times getting very upset with the crowd of people to move back between their flags,marking a sandbank and safer area of swimming.

The problem is that there side currents moving along the shoreline that drift the crowd towards the " Rip Channels", were they will be swept into the out flowing current.

Now the problem is that lifeguards are going to tell you to go out with the rip current,then swim parallel with the beach and then enter the surf and use the waves to return to shore.

Lifeguards, individuals and many City's Safety web site recommodation will also tell you the same thing,as well as to swim at 90% to get out of an outward flowing rip current 

Here is the problem you are facing:

You are small, you might not be swimming fit ffor swimming muscles are totally different to musels used on land.

The problem with telling you to swim at 90% to escape rip currents and the because signage that you can escape on anyside sets you up to burn up your engery, for you will panic and try super hard to swim at 90% to the current.If you do this you will probably only last 2 minutes and then your muscles will build up lactic acid and your arms and legs will begin to feel like lead.

Now should rather place your mouth in the water, with just your nose sticking out.You then do a gentle frog kick and a soft breast stroke and in the same motion you lift your head out of the water and breath.

This will help you not to panic and will regulate your breathing to be in a rymthm of calmness.

Now you would of ended up in this Rip Current,because the side current brought you here, from the area between the lifeguard's flags.You will be fine and you will reach the beach and this is how you do it:

Let's say you were facing the beach and the side current moved you to the right, you in the rip current and the flags are on your left, you can't go left to escape the current, for the side current will push you back into the rip current flowing out.

Now the lifeguards and many individuals say little kids should float in rip currents, and of cause use the wave to get back in from the backline, but if you look to your right you will see that there are waves breaking on the sand bank.

Now use the side current and the rip current to flow frog style gentle movements towards these waves at an angle and with the current.

This will give you a mental boost and a plan of action that won't drain your energy, for there is no need to go out to the backline to use the bigger waves to get to the shore, for there are waves right near you to use. You now use the side current and the waves to angle yourself towards the shore and swallow water.You will have to use the " Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming”,which you can read about lower down.

But guess what you are now standing and walking up the beach with loads of energy.

You can read down below or watch Siobhan's Videos, for not all outward rip currents work like this,but 90 % of the time the will for there will always be a side current if the waves are causing rip currents.

I'am going to sea today,and have not got time to edit this blog,but the information and insights will save you and your brother or sister from drowning these Christmas holidays 2019.

Have fun and enjoy your World's 4 Ocean's with your " Aqua Sight you will gain".https://ripcurrentabs.blogspot.com/2019/12/4-oceans-how-2-swim-act-2-survive-surf.html.

 4 Free, the Basic ABC’s of your World’s 4 Ocean’s Surf Zones:

·      Waves come towards the shore in “Steps of Depths and Forces of the oncoming Set”.( each wave is going to be bigger than the wave in front of itself, hence the “ Step-effect of Increasing Depths and Forces”. 

Sit on the beach and see the "Ocean’s Waves" doing this, for it has been happening just like this for ‘Billions of Years already”.

Or stand in knee-deep water and watch and feel the incoming waves of the set, as the water increases in depth and force, as each wave passes you by, as they move to shore.)

·      Yin and Yang’s Forces of Water are now going to ‘Play’. ( As the set approaches it will cause water on the sandbanks to be pulled out, just like many who afford themselves the opportunity to watch YouTube videos on Tsunami Waves, you will notice how the sandbanks become exposed as these shallow surf zones empty of water.

 ‘Or’ the next time you on a sandbank, in the surf, feel how the water pulls out, as the set approaches. 

Or sit on the beach and watch the surface foam on the sandbanks, watch and see as the set of waves approach, see the streaks of surface foam been pulled straight out, at the same time take note of the surface streaks of foam that are off the centreline, of the sandbank, see how the foam streaks are also been pulled at angles towards either side of the sandbank.

This is the result of Yin and Yang of the oncoming set of waves, which are also causing the Rip and Side Channels, on either side of the sandbank to pull water out of their deeper channels. 

The waves will now slow the outward pull and begin to push and cause inward surges to start filling in the " V Channels- Rip Channels" and this pushing water will now cause the side current to renew its rhythm of pulse, force, and direction( Surf Zones Wave's  Heart Beats), that will fill the " V Channel" and will push through and over the sandbank that is on the path of this side- current, and will force water into the next rip channel, as it flows through the side channel on the sandbank that has formed and boxing in the " V Channel - Rip Channel's current.

The force of Yin and Yang's Aqua - In - Motion at Play will slip through the shoreline side channel,of the sandbank it is moving past, as this current moves in growing force and pulse, as each wave is bigger in-depth and force.

You can watch this happen and play over and over again ,as Yin and Yang play just like this in the day and at night.

Take note when the Rip Current Channels are pulling water off the Sandbanks, for they will have the greater force, as they pull water off on both sides of the sandbanks.

" Bow-Currents” are forming right on the edges of the sandbanks, see the "Indian like Bow-Currents" as they curve and make strong ripple bending streaks just off the drop-offs of these sandbanks, on both sides. 

See how these Bow-Currents bend slightly towards the sandbanks on either side.

For the central fugal force of water is taking place.

Just like when you go to the park and go round and round on a merry-go-round, your force and pull will move outwards and backward.

Acknowledge Yin and Yang's " Bow Currents", for when you see their motions in the middle surf, you will know where the "Sandbanks" are, and you can reorientate yourself in the surf, for Dumpers and Waves will tumble you around, and cause you to be disorientated.

These " Bow- Currents" show you sandbanks that could be knee or waste deep in the middle surf, where you could stand and save your energy. You could even use these shallow banks to walk on, and then position yourself for a better and easier path to follow back to the shoreline.

It is very important to keep your mind occupied and searching the surf, for it helps you to be calmer and focused to seek opportunities to save your own life in your " Surf Playgrounds", as well as giving any rescuers more time to reach you, for you will be on the surface of the water.

You will also have opportunities to see if anyone has thrown a lifebuoy or an object that floats into the currents that have taken you out.

All lifeguards globally tell people not to come out and try to rescue you, but to throw an object that floats out to you.

You also have to keep your head and body low in the water, to conserve your energy, with just your nose clearing the water.

Will explain later on, for it helps regulate your breathing and saves you loads of energy and will save your life, even if you are not a good swimmer or are prone to panicking in your World's 4 Ocean's.

Also never Float on your back in " Surf Zone", for you will lose your advantage and end up choking and coughing, and becoming dizzy. I will explain later, and this will definitely save your life.

If you panic, and loose focus you will loose your mental advantage, so understand this human trait, and acknowledge  " The Story about the little train, who went up the hill saying, he knows he can and he will make it to the top of the hill". 

So choose to believe you will make it to your beach, for right now you believe it will be hard to reach the shore, but Yin and Yang, move in circles, and you will soon see how to follow and use their softer circles and paths, to easily reach the shore again, and Yin and Yang will help you when you understand and see them.

At some beaches, you will have to go out with the Rip Current, and you feel scared just thinking about it, but here is the beauty, the rip current will move you quickly, so you can complete the path of the " Circle of Flow" to reach the beach in the shortest of time.

As you leave the channel, there will be a circulating gyre or an oblong gyre or slack water and just on the other side, the "Softer and Gentle forms of Yin and Yang" are waiting for you and will show you the path of inward flowing surges and you will soon know how to use their paths to reach your beach safely again.

Now for young children who are following their bigger brothers, sisters and friends, be careful and don’t follow them in too deep, for if you cannot stand on the sand, the water is going to pull you to one-sided of the sandbank or pull you straight out, as the set of waves approaches.

If the water pulls you straight out, as a set of waves are coming towards the sandbank and you can no longer stand, don’t panic and simply duck in a standing stance and make contact with the sand and jump forward and keep doing this until the first wave hits you. 

Now on the second wave simple dive down towards the shore about half a meter down and keep your feet together and raise them vertically and kick them down slightly and then raise them vertically and reap 3 times, while you are underwater, and now been pushed by the wave, wave swell or white water.

Your arms are straight out in front of you and are used to steer your direction to either side or up or down.

By doing this you are using the Forces of Yin and Yang's " Wave-Surge", to propel yourself through the water, for Yin and Yang are going to help you and cause a surge of water moving forward to push on your raised vertical and flipping simultaneously (together) legs. 

Your legs held together act like a sail, and become an object, for the inward surge of the water to push against.

 You have turned your legs into a big " Single Flipper, like Mermaids and Mermen Tails.

Just like the Lifesavers who do surf zone rescues, can be seen using flippers, you to have your own personal " Big Flipper".

You can call your new Aqua skill “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming”. 

Understand this technique, for by flipping your legs slightly down and then up again, your chins and feet find the resistance of water to push against, you have a double motion of force, for the water pushes against your feet and chins. This is not " Dolphin Kicks or Swimming like Aqua- man in " Dolphin Mode", for if you attempt this style you will hurt the small of your back, and not offer Yin and Yang the opportunity to help you, for they will and can help you greatly if you do the " Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming".

You surf these waves like a dolphin, but not with their style of Tail Power Flipping Horizontally ( Dolphin Kicks) " and when you come up for a breath,  the water might pull you out slightly, don't panic and simply rest and watch the next wave or white water coming towards you, as soon as it is almost on you take a breath and do your "“Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming”. 

You will eventually learn to " Body Surf", but right now you are still small and might not be able to judge "Body Surfing Waves", or have your freestyle power strokes mastered yet, but you sure can be a mermaid or merboy to cover big distances needed right now for you to reach the beach or the swallows where you can stand again.

Do this for the next two waves and then stand for you would have covered a huge distance towards the shore. 

If you can’t stand, no problem do another two waves of “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming”. 

NB NB NB: 

The reasons why you were advised to go down in a standing position and then make contact with the sand with your feet and then jump forward and break through the surface of the water with your head and arms, is that it will help you to stay in the shallower water for longer, as the water is pulling you straight out over the sandbank.

And yes you will still be moving backward, but not as fast had you just drifted with the outward pull of water on sandbanks.

You now have the opportunity to also attract attention from people on the beach, other swimmers near you, surfers and lifeguards.

You will stand out from other swimmers in the water to anyone who's eyes catch your movement and actions. The people who see you will have a reflex reaction and will move towards you without thought of their initial actions.

The reason been, is that their Souls have responded before their minds had time to think, for many would have used the very same technique you are using right now, while been on Sandbanks and been pulled straight out by " Outward Sandbank Pulling Surges", they would not have even given it thought. They would of done the same thing in swimming pools, when they where younger and learning to swim and would have been in the shallow water of a pool and walked out towards the deeper side and then walked out to far, then turned around and jumped themselves back to the swallower water right near the drop-offs, that occur in freshwater swimming pools.

Now, this shows you something, which is that many people who have been around water, both fresh and salt, already have experienced the basic water safety techniques and understandings, but unfortunately, these basics are not been taught to young children like yourself, your brother's, your sisters and your friends, who go to Beaches or swimming pools during your holidays, and especially during your Christmas Holidays, that sees many children going to coastal beaches for their festival holidays.

The Basic ABC's of Personal Aqua Safety, needs to be your mindset and second nature of being, when you are near or in your " Aqua Playgrounds".

Now, don't you worry, for you are soon going to become a Water Baby of Yin and Yang's Aqua In Motions at Play, and you will be able to understand how to swim, act and survive in your World's 4 Oceans.

Now to really attract attention, is to cross- wave your arms, very quickly twice, as your head breaks through the surface. It is an international code for " SOS", I am in distress and need help.

You also can't get yourself to worked up,otherwise, you might start hyper-ventilating and your head will become dizzy, and you might panic and try swim as hard as you can for the shore, if you do this you will drown within 1.5 minutes.

DON'T Panic like this, but keep this thought in your mind, so that you can control any panicking thoughts, and the use your mental brain-power to protect your life, by safeguarding your energy, to ensure your head and airways remain "Bobbing and Duck-diving, with rhythm of flow of being, to find the "Softer and Gentle Areas of Yin and yang".

You also have to understand that if you are at a coastal beach that has extremely cold water, you need to know that if you got caught in currents, and you ended up longer than 10 to 15 minutes in the water, you will then get hyperthermia, and your organs will shut down and you will drown because you will lose function and the ability to move your arms and legs, so keep this in mind if you do not have a wetsuit on and are swimming in very cold ocean waters.

You also have a problem now doing the " Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming" technique ,for the moment you dive underwater,you will get an " Icecream Head Ache". 

The Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming can still be done but you will have to control your breathing, mindset and belief that you can achieve this,for your mind is very powerful when you choose it to be so.

Been dunked underwater and coming back up will also have you grasping in short quick deep breaths,which can cause you to take in a bit of water too deep into your airways,you will choke and need to start sniffing in air through your nose and coughing to clear water from your airways.

It is very important for you to the  understand what can happen to you when you are pushed or pulled by currents into your World's 4 Ocean's, for if you are not mentally prepared for cold water, and if you are panicking, or have not taken belief of the power of your mind's mindset to be.

Now if you are been pulled out and been pulled to one side, do the “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming’’, but angle your motion and direction slightly to the opposite side you are been pulled, for the centerline of the sandbank is your safer zone, at times, for a strong side current, will also determine the safe side re-entry of a sandbank, to use this side current's sweep to sling-shot current style your drift-rate and angle to the shoreline.

Remember that when people tell you to swim at 90% to a current, to escape, do some online searching, for not even international space crafts will enter the atmosphere at 90%. An aircraft would stall, for it would lose momentum and fall

Many Children, Teens, and Adults have not developed swimming muscles, which are totally different from muscle development, for sprinting and running on land.

The problem now is that children will lose momentum when they swim at 90%, to a current and they will attempt to swim harder and faster, and burn up their energy in 1.5 minutes and drown.

Now by moving with the current and at an angle to break out of it, with even just doggy paddle or glide drifting on the surface, you will hardly use any energy and be out of the main pull of a Rip Channel.

The beauty is that it boosts your mental positive belief in yourself, for you now have a purpose and a water safety plan. 

Your goal is now to surface glide with the current at an angle towards the sandbank waves, for you want to use their inward energy of surge to use your “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming’’ to angle yourself back to the shore with the side current.

You will often hear advice from global lifesavers and people talking about rip currents that when you go out with a rip, you should go with it and then once at the backline swim parallel with the shore and use the waves to help you reach the shore. So use your mind and think to gain your "Personal Aqua Sight".

You also need to realize that the signs on beaches that say you can exit or escape a rip current on any side, does not work for their will always be a side current, so use your 'Aqua Sight ', before you enter your "Surf Zone" to determine which way this side-current rhythm is moving and pulsing.

NB NB NB ;

Side-currents can easily be seen by watching the surface foam's direction of flow.

You will often see Lifesavers blowing on their whistles to get the crowd of swimmers to move back between the "Safe Swim Flags", for many bathers and swimmers don't realize that they are been pushed by the side current along the beach towards the "Rip Current Channels.

You are now becoming Surf Zone Wise and an Aqua Baby of Yin and Yang, well done.

NOW when you hear people telling you to just swim parallel with a current at the backline then angle yourself for the shoreline when you out of the current, know that this is not how your World's 4 Oceans work for you could be setting yourself up to enter a loop path current,that is going to take you in then spit you out with the next rip channel that could be very large across its channel and take you further out to sea, for you have been told to just drift or follow a rip current out. 

Will do some sketches and post some videos and you will see the path you should take to navigate these Rip Debris Sweeps, that if you don't understand them, you will be going around and around in a circle.

  

Don't worry about this now, for you will soon know how to see these loop currents and how to move around them and through them at angles, for you acknowledged their movements and paths of flow ,when you were on the beach, and long before you choose a safe spot to swim at your beach, based on the safety features of the beach itself, and your 'Aqua Sight"..

Many children,teens and adults drown because they do not acknowledge Yin and Yang's Aqua In Motions at Play, when they had all the time in the World, when they were walking and standing on their beach, but don't worry you will know how to acknowledge and see Yin and Yang's Aqua In Motions at Play, when you are standing and walking on your beach.

The reason why you will find it easy to angle yourself to the opposite side is because as the wave surges in, it causing Yin and Yang's current force streaks that are moving towards the shore to cut into the “Side Currents” and break their force by bending their current lines towards the shore, and which makes small vortexes behind the small white water waves, see the foam vortexes. 

Next time you at the beach walk into the water knee-deep and watch the small white water pushing across the “Side Currents” and acknowledge ‘Nature’s Yin and Yang's Forces of Water", for you are now becoming a “Water-Baby who has begun to understand your World’s 4 Ocean’s Surf Zones, well done, your own personal insights and understandings are growing, you are becoming ‘Surf Zone –Wise and your “ Aqua- Wisdom and Sight" is and will be growing’’.

Take note of a small or big swell that is about to break, see how the lip forms and curls down to push into the side current. As this lip curls into the water trough, it will generate a force downwards and backward.

A Curling Rotating Force that will push water backward, with aerated vortexes that will have areas that are spinning and twisting cyclonic and anticyclonic, which will cause you to be pushed and pulled in different directions,as well as up and down.

The white water is going to have a lot of bubbles, and you will be less buoyant and some children will feel like they are sinking, and some will say this is an undertow and some will panic greatly.

Guess what you already know how Yin and Yang play like this,for you acknowledged their movements of play, when you were standing knee-deep in the water, and watched them cause twisting and rotating cyclonic and anticyclonic vortexes in the white water behind the breaking waves and white water pushing towards the shoreline.

By making your body long on top of the surface, just like "Pond- Frogs on the Surface of their ponds", you allow more aerated bubbles to push you up, and by keeping your head low to the waters surface, with just your nose sticking out of the water, which allows you to use the least amount of energy to stay on the surface, and with a small frog kick and gentle breaststroke forward you then raise your mouth out of the water and taking a breath,in your stroke of arms,you can maintain a rymthm of using the least amount of energy,while keeping yourself above the waters surface, while the bubbles and vortexes twist and turn all around you.

See you are now a Water Baby of Yin and Yang , well done,you will learn more and gain your own understandings and insights of your World's 4 Oceans.

Now some beaches have gentle sloping sandbanks or sandbanks in front of the backline drop offs, which also generate a force backwards, don't panic it is fine ,it is just cycles of how Yin and Yang's Forces have been flowing.and moving for "Billions of Years".

This can happen for 3 incoming waves, the 4 th wave is now going to surge in hard, move with this force on your planned position and course to reach your safe zones, base on your 'Aqua Sight" you used while standing on the beach and seeing how Yin and Yang where playing.

Take note that if a big set has just come through there will be a lot of water on the "Sandbanks" and a smaller set of waves will then cause alot of outward pulling and will pull you very quickly to the backline of the Sandbanks.

The outward pull can be for the entire set, of these smaller swells and waves.

NB NB NB this happens a lot at Strand Beach, near Gordons Bay, in South Africa, which also cause  " Strong Side Currents" due to the " Semi-permanent Sandbank, near the Strand NSRI building and the Water World Park, which is due to Strand Reefs, that run in at angles, and create gulley wedges that funnel in Yin and Yang's " Wave"s Energies" to be pushed along the coastal channels, backline areas and knee deep water along the beach.

Take note next time you have a high advantage point to look down at the backline areas of "Surf Zones", see the debris lines that form oil like lines and strip-breadth-like-small-river-currents that run out into the bay, these are caused by various salt densities and magnetic likeness, that become just like your garden hose pipes water flow and the hose pipe material, is just like the ocean on either side of this debris line, for they contain and funnel this debris line out to sea.

These debris-current- distant- pushing-vortexes, often sees swimmers getting all confused and swept off and way past the backline. Unfortunately many choose to not develop their "Aqua-Sight", but you have and these vortexs have narrow current breadths, that glide tummy floating will see you out of them quickly and you understand that they make the circle paths.

Take note that there are often big current and wide rips that go way past the backline and are choppy and rippled on the surface.

NB glide-tummy or Pond-Frog motions and angled, will get you out of these offshore rips in the shortest of time.

The waves breaking on the sandbanks and shore are the pump and force,and are the " Taps handle to your garden hose pipe. The bigger the waves or the more you open the tap, the greater and stronger the force of outward flowing water will be seen coming from your hose pipe or seen in these debris lines and strips.

NB NB and I' am not referring to the ' Mushrooms that are seen at the end of Rip Currents, I am taking of the forces of current ripples and sandbebris strips that can move a great distance from the backline and the " Mushrooms".

These debris lines show you what is happening and are the basic ABC's of Ocean Currents Movements of Play of Being.

Strand Beach has an Outer Reef way off the backline and towards the South West of the Big Semi-permanent sandbank which lies outside Strands NSRI building. This Outer Reef aids the Big Sandbank to maintain its shape.

Next time you at Strand Beach take note of this Outer Reef's breakers and see the deeper channel that comes close to the shore on the left-hand side of the big sandbank, and look at the foam and pieces of Seaweed, as they are pushed by this backline channel "Debris-Current", see how this deeper channel bends outwards and flows in the same line of shape and direction as the drop off sand contour lines, of this " Big Sandbank's Left Side".

The resulting effects of these many features in the area are the cause of the strong side currents and for maintaining the " Big Sandbanks Shape" over many years.

The "South West Swells" that cause waves to break on Strand Beach have a good amount of energy as they bend in around Cape Point.

As they reach Strand Beaches gentle sloping beach, that drops off into the backline channel, you will notice how quickly these waves suddenly " Build and Break as Dumping Waves".

This sudden "Curl and Lift" generates a strong force of pull on the water, directly in front of the Dumpers, to generate a pulling side current on the Big Sandbank and the other very shallow waters of Strand Beach.

These Dumpers are Yin and Yang's Motors and Pumps, that keep the sandy bottoms clean of debris and help the channels to create food chains for the marine life to feed on.

The " Right Hand Side of this Big Sandbank has a feature( sandbank drops and slopes to the NW) that creates sets of waves that come in at angles to this " Big Sandbank", which creates a phenomenal outward pull on the right side of this sandbank and on the very sandbank itself.

The waves come in on this side, like " Wedges" and is the reason why Rip and Backline -Side Channels form on the right and the reason why there are Side Channels inshore towards the "Fence", of the Lowrens River.

As you gain your Aqau-Sight, you will be able to go to any " Beach of your World's 4 Oceans" and be able to see all of Yin and Yang's "Aqua-In- Motions at Play".

You will then know how to keep yourself, family and friends, safe while participating in water activities. You will also be able to give valuable information to Life Savers,for you can pinpoint which direction of flow is taking place on the backline and save valuable time for rescuers to go search in the right direction or straight to the child, teen or adult in difficult

Afford yourself the opportunity to watch YouTube Videos, of Surfers and Drone Fishing of Strand Beach. See how the waves and swells break in this area, see the surface foam streaks.

You can take a look at Google Maps and past You Tube yearly dated drone footage of Strand's Surf Zones, they will reveal the same Big Sandbank year in year out. 

Or speak to rock and surf fisherman from the area, who will confirm many of the same Rip and Side Channels been in the same areas for years.

Don't get intimated or believe that it is not necessary to take note of the many Semi-permanent Sandbanks and their Rip and Side Channels, for you will often hear people telling you that " Rip Currents can form anywhere", this is not a wise statement or comment to make, for many children, teens and adults will now believe that " Rip Currents" are some "Mysterious " Phenomenal Occurance" that can suddenly appear from no-where.

This creates the illusion and mental belief for many children, teens and adults that they don't have to or need to learn or understand Rip Currents, for these Rip Currents are mysterious and can occur anywhere, so what is the point of trying to understand something that can simply form anywhere, and mysteriously hunt you down in the World's 4 Oceans.

Don't fall into this personal mindset or belief, that Rip Currents can mysteriously appear, so that would mean Rip Currents are unpredictable and can just suddenly happen all of a sudden and a "New Magical Rip Channel will suddenly appear on a sandbank, you are standing on, and the one moment you are standing waist deep and the next moment a huge Rip Channel has appeared underneath you and you are now been taken outward by its current, because the Rip Current Channel is 1.5 times your height, in its depth.

Yin and Yangs Aqua-In-Motion-Forces don't work like this and Rip Currents don't just suddenly form or appear like this or hunt you down, for Yin and Yang are always in " Balance" and once a storm surge is taking place or a strong onshore gale has been blowing,then Rip and Side Channels on the sandbanks can close and open new channels and holes.

Yes Rip Currents and Channels are now forming and I would like to see "Brave Souls" go out into this washing machine of a storm, and try swim in this gale of aerated storm surging waves and  vortexes,for these "Brave Souls" and not been Aqua-Wise Souls, and will be tossed, dumped, tumbled, swirled,pulled and pushed around like clothing fibers in a washing machine, in the Surf- Zone that is now "Raging" and creating deeper and new current channels.

Once the weather calms down and the sea settles, to create good days for swimming, you will then see that Yin and Yang maintain these Rip and Side Channels and Holes, as Yin and Yang move in Circles of Balance, and you can now trust your eyes, mind, and soul to guide and protect you, for these channels are not going to change, so you can now use their motions of movements for the day and the next day and the next day.

Take a drone and fly it for these days above these Surf Zone areas, see Yin and Yang are now in " Balance of Rymth of Order".

Or watch You Tube Videos of your beach over the last few years, you will see common and Semi-permanent Rip and Side Channels and holes occurring in many of the same spots year in year out.

Many locals, Surfers and Beach Fisherman understand Nature's Yin and Yang's Aqua-In-Motion-Forces and so can you if you choose to. 

You can even be a person who has never ever been to a beach or ever touched an Ocean, for Yin and Yang's Aqua of Motions, do not hide and are right there for anyone to see and learn from. You could even be a Child going to a coastal Town for your Christmas Holidays.

You will also see and understand how Climate Change and Global Warming is been speeded up, due to the warming and acidification of your World's 4 Oceans and right here in Strand, Yin and Yang will show you how this and Nature have been working ,  for billions of years already.

At the end of Strand Beach, near the tidal pool, this last bay is named " Melkbaai" ( Milk Bay). It was given its name hundreds of years back already,due to the Milky Colour of water that forms on the push of the tide, that Yin and Yang help make, with the Sun's Rays,of Gamma Showers.

The Reefs you see to the left are swallow and next time you are there on the low tide and you walk out on these reefs, you will see the pools are nice and clear, and a host of interesting marine life and organisms.

Take note of how barren the sea life on reefs are when compared to the opposite side of the bays other tidal pools.

Acidification of the Milk Colour water is the cause, it is like lime,that can destroy and dissolve organisms, with a very low oxygen levels,casuing stunned and slow growth.

You will also notice that the shellfish are a lot smaller and fewer in numbers, when compared to the Bays opposite sides tidal pools, that are full of color and marine life.

At present your Planet Earth has lost an enormous amount of "Ozone Protection", which has also weakened the Planets Magnetic Flied , your Magnosphere.

At present, the Sun's Rays and Solar flares are pounding and blasting the World's 4 Ocean and Landmasses with Gamma Rays.

Take note of False Bay and watch as the southeast wind starts to blow and causes a gale, see how the water changes colour, as the wind and waves cause the top layers of water to mix, by surface skimming counter currents and top surface short breaking wind waves.

The Sun will Super Blasts the Bay's surface, with Gamma Rays,which results in different salt densities not been able to form a unison likeness of magnetic deflection,this causes these salt atoms to loose oxygen,and metallic minerals salts are formed and released as visible signs of discolourations of the surface waters, to a milky whitish green colour. 

Ok let's get back to the Strand reefs, where the Sun is baking and warming these flattish exposed rocks.

Now when the tide starts to push in, you will notice that these reefs are angled in parallel lines towards the shore and they funnel in water that moves over these warned up rocks,which transfers their heat to the water as it wedges and funnels in and is heated further as it touches other dry and Sun-baked rocks.

There are many rocks in these sharp edged wedged reefs, that cause the incoming tides water to tumble, twist and be skimmed-mixed,  that causes minerals on the surface to have their atoms split of oxygen.

Warm water always has less oxygen than cooler water, for the heat allows for an easy loss of oxygen.

You will notice how the incoming tide pushes this milky metallic mineral-enriched saltwater to the shoreline and it is very warm when compared to the clear water of Strand's Beach.

Yin and Yang's Aqua-In-Motion have shown you how a part of Nature works here, as well as in the World's 4 Ocean's, for hundreds of miles of ocean waters , when the wind is blowing in the same direction as the current and has turned hundreds of miles of the Ocean's surface layers to be skimmed and Sun Baked to release metallic mineral salts for plankton to consume and grow green as the start of your " Ocean's Food Chain" for the Zooplankton.

Unfortunately it is not just the food chain that is growing, but also the Ocean's Sea Surfaces that are warning, and when the wind blows, these warmer top layer move towards this Planet's Main Global Circulating Ocean Currents.

These Main Surface Currents are warmer,and the heated and approaching surface water will slip underneath their edges, as cooler water sinks and warmer water rises, just like cooler air will sink and warmer air will rise.

The warmer but cooler than this edge of  a "Main Global Current" will form wedges that move angled and downwards, this creates a deep wedge wall of layers on the sides of the pole of these Main Surface Currents.

I was introduced to Tuna and Swordfish longlining on the second year it started in South Africa, as well as being a commercial fishing skipper, and the Oceans are my " Playgrounds.

Any commercial skipper worth their salt will need to understand how the Oceans work, otherwise they will not be able to catch fish consistently, for if they don't take note or learn from Nature's Yin and Yang, on how the fish respond to winds, currents and seasons, then they won't be able to make a living from catching fish.

Most commercial fishermen will be said to be in " Modes of thinking like Fish".

My brother and I spent most of our school holidays and weekends at our Grandparents home in Kalk Bay, South Africa, and every day spent there was like a holiday and from two and three years old our Grandparents and family would go on holiday to Plettenberg Bay to enjoy rock and surf fishing there and around the Western Cape, including Cape Point, "Platboom Melkbos, Witsands for " Gallies" and Rooikraans, Simons Town and Sunny Cove for " Yellowtail".

Our Grandparents taught us alot about the Oceans and how to look at the water surroundings,to protect ourselves when we entered the beaches and rocky bays.

At 10 years old we were body surfing the Rocky Gally next to Staint James Tidal Pool, as well as the reef behind this pool.Danger Beach was also a favoured body surfing spot,and we also had belly boards.

We where also snorkeling at this age,and by 14 years we were already diving outside Kalk Bay harbour wall for " chokka jigs", the only other people who dived here where the occasional scuba divers, as the water is fairly deep to reach the chokka jigs on the bottom,entackled in bunched up pieces of ropes.

Yin and Yang's Aqua-In-Motion of Play, taught us well, for we choose to see " Them Play".

At 6 years old we were already catching "White stump " in the late afternoons off the Kalk Bay Boats, and by 9 years we were already going out to chatch chokka, job,elf and yellowtail, in the Bay with our friends, on there father's commercia fishingl boats.

At 10 years I went out on my uncle's skiboat,off Miller's Point to catch Snoek.My uncle's friend who skippered the skiboat to sea,with his young son and two of his friends and myself ended up catching 85 snoek, where on the off loading and sail of the Snoek at Kalk Bay harbour, the " Hawkers" asked " Grant the skipper",who caught most of the snoek, and he replied that it was he and myself.

The tracksuit top I was wearing was caked in snoek scales,as I had put the snoek on this arm,to break break their necks.

This was my first time I had caught snoek in bigger numbers,and truth be told I had caught more that half the snoek that day, as I had used a " Number 4 Chrome Spinner" and my small stroke of arm length pulls, had the correct enticement for the snoek to nail the spinner.

The other guys had switched from " Dolly-leads" and replaced them with chrome-spinners like mine, but they could not get their spinners to work, like my rymthm of stroke and they also did not strike the snoek ,when they mouthed their spinners. 

Yin and Yang of Nature, had taught me well, and the White stumps, kobs, yellowtails and chokka catching had honed my handline skills nicely.

Now Globally media, news and social media are reporting that " Eco Anxieties" and " Eco Mental Stress" has exploded and that stats and collected data, are revealing that this has resulted in huge increases of suicides of children, teens and adults.

The common trait of humans is that if they panic, and feel there is no way out they will and can give up mentally, just like little children give up in Surf Zones,when they drown, for they believe it is the end, and they shut off and then drown.

The problem globally at the moment, is that many children, teens and adults believe that there is no chance of stopping Climate Change and Global Warming, based on many many misunderstandings of information given to them, which creates the illusion that Nature is complicated and unfathomable.

You will often see media stating that certain Oceans don't mix,they will show videos and pictures of the Indian Oceans and the Atlantic or Pacific, with one edge been River Brown or Milky Green and the other been blue, and they will say "See these Oceans don't mix".

Now this causes a problem for children, teens and adults to not use their minds to come up with solutions for the many environmental problems in their country.

For if they don't understand the basics of their Planet's Ocean, which has the greatest effect on Climate Change,and globally media, news and social media are reporting and showing video footage that globally storms are intensifying and been far more serve.

Junior school subjects like geography teach you that the Oceans are salty, due to the minerals and alkalines that are washed off land masses or seeped by ground waters and rivers into this Planet's Oceans.

Logic will mean that if Storms are Increaseing and been more serve,then the Oceans are going to receive far more minerals and the Sun's Gamma Rays are going to use them to increase the acidification of this Planet's Oceans, and Nature's is going to be thrown out of balance, and bacteria and viruses in the oceans are going to increase.Already in South America reports of increased bacteria and viruses in crab meat, who are bottom feeders.

Many videos of underwater footage of this Planet's Ocean's are showing you how the shallow  bottoms are displaying a green colour of increased plankton and red tide growths.

Reports globally show satellite footage of big areas, of " Redtide Vortexes in Gysers", now for people to claim that the Oceans don't mix, knowing full well that this Planet has Main Global Subsurface and Surface Circulating Ocean Currents, and then to lay claim that a Blue Ocean edge and a River Brown or Milky edge don't mix, is really throwing away the basics of junior school education,for hot air rises and cold air sinks. Warm water rises and cool water sinks.

Now off the Somalian Coast line, one will often see " Ocean Blue Clear Water" meeting a warm Dirty Brown,to Milky Green edge,

The Blue Clear water is cooler,and it sinks and slips below the Dirty and warmer edge.

Next time you see videos or pictures of a claim that two Oceans don't mix,take note of the ripple and strong current edges, see the repelling ripple lines of a surface counter currents top layer, well this is the result of the water that is slipping underneath, it is also skimming metallic mineral salts and taking them down to the "Deep Subsurface Global Circulating Ocean Currents", it is also causing a counter currents that oppose each edges forces, to make current line edges, but down below the surface, skimming is taking place.

Now this phenomenon does not just take place here, it is happening 24/7 globally and the main reason why the many videos of underwater footage you may see, where you will notice a green neon glow and tint appearing in more locations that use to have clear water that allowed for greater distance of sight during the the video capturing of the marine life.

The reason is that globally the Sun's Gamma Rays are causing the 70% of this Planet, that is covered by Oceans , to slightly bleached by the high mineral content of the water, and gives a luminous greenish tint as the Sun shines apon this increased gloabl plankton growth.

You can go to Kalk Bay harbour and snorkle on the shallow rocks towards the beach, the water will be warm and slightly discoloured,the shellfish life on these rocks, will be small and minimum, very devoid of sea life.

The " Sea Lettuce" you will see will be lighter in colour, called it metallic mineral acidification bleached, as you move towards the jettys and swim out the harbour mouth, the sea lettuce you see ,will be dark green. Now we snorkle to Kalk Bay big swimming pool,and come up the gully, and flippers off and a walk past the small pool, bleached sea lettuce,but darker than the sea lettuce in the harbour, now we dive into the big pool,and put on goggles and mouth snorkle, then flippers, and down on the bottom of this deeper pool and shaded in high wall and the Brass Bell building causing more afternoon shade , and the awesome outer wall of this pool, that allows the reefs waves to pour over and into the pool, there is dark green sea lettuce, surrounded by Ocean Cooled and aerated water.

This is the sea lettuce my Ouma used to eat,but not from the pool, but from the reefs gullys and holes.

My uncle used to collect it for her, for he dived alot in the Bay, but she stopped eating it when the Bay got polluted.

My uncle also be came a " Bakkieman" because he could dive so well, and because often the dingy was used to keep the purse net up, at the corks, but would often get swamped and the " Bakkimen" had to swim back to the purseiner. The joys of the Oceans and Fishing.

My Ouma grew up in Llandudno, and the house is now a national monument,above the main road.Her Dad was Mr ........ and was a master carpenter and officer of the piece, he did alot of the woodwork in Cape Town's Old Standardbank Building

One day when returning from Hout Bay, on his bicycle he found a Bushman, who was badly beaten up, and be used his shirt to bandage the man's head, as he had serve head injuries.

He took the man home and he and his wife managed to nurse the man back to health.

The Bushmen did not want to go back the the other Bushman Community living in the Sandy Bay and Karbonkleberg area, so my great-great oupa let him live with his family.

He built a small shed home for him,and the Bushman to the family name.

Now this is where my Ouma learnt so much about, ocean life and  seaweeds, herbs and mountain bark medicines, for when the families children were sick the Bushman would go collect certain seaweeds and herbs and bark from the mountains,and my great Ouma would brew them up for the sick children .

My Ouma lived to a 101 and I am sure if she has continued to eat seaweeds she would of lived far longer.

The Community on Okinawan Island, off Japan, live exceptional long lives, but unfortunately given the nuclear disarter of Fukushima, and news media reporting on Blue Fin Tuna now in the Pacific Ocean where scientific data has revealed that these Tuna now have radio activity levels in their bodies, is making many people become concerned about the health of other marine species in the Pacific Oceans.

The Stronger the wind blows, the stronger the current will become, and the cooler water deep down will then push in as a counter current,this now causes the Planets Main Circulating Subsurface Currents to increase in strength.

At present your Planet's Main Global Circulating Ocean Currents are speeding up and are circulating the acidification of metallic mineral salts throughout this Planets 70% of Salty Oceans, it is not good.

The stronger speed of this Planet's Main Circulating Global Currents, are also causing weather patterns that are not normal, or charted or recoded in the past decade of global weather services data.

Your Planet is moving into uncharted and unrecorded climate data.

The beauty is that atleast you now know some of the  the causes of this Planet's Climate Change and Global Warming, it will depend upon what you choose to do about it.

For the Sun is a Powerful Source of Radiation  and will continue to "Super Blast" this Planet's Land and Water Masses, and it's Flow of Radiation will only be curbed, once this Planet's Ozone Layers and Magnosphere are thickened and  strengthened.

Only the "Increaseing of Oxygen Levels and the prevention of pollutants and actions that cause the loss of O3 of this Planet's Ozone Layers, can stop Climate Change and Global Warming, with a chance to stop this Planet's  present cource and shift towards Earth's 6 th Mass Extinction".

For only once you choose to understand Yin and Yang's Forces, will you see and understand how Nature is and has been working for billions of years, and only then will you know and come up with solutions to aid Nature to Rebalance this Planet called Earth.

NB NB NB: Always remember this when you navigating Rip , Side Channels or a Sandbanks, you must use the incoming surges and the forces of Yin and Yang and they come in 3 's.Often a set of waves,will consist of 7 swells the first 3 swells approaching the beach will cause an outward pull of water on the sandbanks and the 4 th wave is then going slow or push the water inwards,and the next three bigger waves are going to surge the water in with a big forward surge of flooding.

You now move with this force of water to gain ground towards your planed path and course to the safe zones.

Remember this,also spend time on the higher beach sand areas or a high point like a big sand dune or cliff and watch the cycle of waves, for at some beaches you will notice the swells come in with a wave cycle of 3 and they either pull water outward,or push in and surge hard during their cycle of the "Steps of Depths and Force of the oncoming Set”.

You can use this pattern of Yin and Yang at this beach to your advantage, for when these 3 waves surge in and you are been pulled out in a Rip Channel, Side Channel, Side Current or Outward pull on Sandbanks, this phenomenal inward surge and force can wash through a Rip Channel at an angle and push you right out of this Rip and put you back on a swallow sandbank.

NB NB NB acknowledge these surging waves and do the " Surf Flip Kick & Dive Swimming", but don't duck down to deep, for you want to allow your vertically raised and flipping together legs, to be pushed by surface surge, as water a bit futher down can still be flowing outward and when you flip kick slightly downwards, you have the resistance of water to kick against,that is moving in the same direction as you,and you stay out of the bottom current that has either slakened a bit ,or is still moving outward,in its rip channel.

Dont fight or try swim hard for the shore, allow yourself the opportunity to rest with an outward surge.You are going to have your head low in the water, and in a breast-stroke position.You are conserving energy and been able to see your surroundings and watching for incoming waves ,that might be bigger or about to curl on you and dump you, in what is called " Sandbank Dumpers", you can duck dive under these,for some of these lips if they break on your head or face will hurt and sting your face and some can knock the windout of you, so duck bellow the water if one of these Stinging Dumpers is about to break on you.The surge of the white water will tumble you ,if you don't duck and dive outwards. Dont be afraid to do this, for you might be panicking and wanting to keep moving towards the shoreline ,rather move outwards and protect yourself from these Dumpers, as the next white water surge might push you towards the shore line.

The Yin and Yang Forces even push in pieces of " Seaweed", to the shoreline" and seeweeds don't swim, yet they reach the shoreline,just like you will.

Just keep calm and low in the water and conserve your energy.

At the moment there are some organisations, individuals and some life saving clubs, globally, that are telling teens, children and adults to simply float if they are caught in " Rip Currents", this is a very dangerous tactic for you to adopt in the Surf- Zones of the World's 4 Ocean's , for if you are floating on your back, you will not be able to see on coming " Dumpers or Bigger Waves" that might come in and break through a Rip Channel, which if you are floating on your back,the lip of a Wave will break on you suddenly and knock your wind out, as your body would of taken the full force of a " Cracker Shock Wave", or the white water surge is going to hit you,and you will have lost the advantage for you will be tumbling and won't know which way is up or down,and you are going to be dragged by the aerated water for a while.

 You might of been choking and just before the white water hit you, and been dragged under like this,without having a proper breath, will put your life in the balance of either drowning or just surviving, but you have lost your advantage, as your lungs will be aching for breath and your energy will be drained due to lack of oxygen, you now have to face the next wave or dumper with drained energy and breath, and in panic and dispear mode, which further disadvantages your mental state of been able to cope and flow.

You will also disadvantaging your airways and nasal cavities, for you will be pushing your head far back as possible to float, which will cause your nasal cavities to empty of water and flow into for throat ,which will result in blocking your airways and you will choke. 

Hense you would of heard your Mother and family members telling you, that you should not lie down and eat, or sit up if you are choking,so that you can clear your airways.

Your attempts to sniff in air through your nose, while having your head so far back,when you floating on your back,will expose your nose and mouth to be continually lapped with the "Ocean's Wavelets" and their rise and fall motions of flow,will swamp your head to be covered and submerged by the waters motions, which is going to cause you to panic and find it hard to regulate your breathing, which will result in your heart rating increasing, and you will have disadvantaged your mental endurance and you will be " Out of Balance to the Forces of Nature's Yin and Yang".

Yin and Yang's Forces are now going to over whelm you for you are fighting against them,insteaded of flowing with and through them,for they have " Soft Aqua Spots" for you to pass through, but by you not seeing them or understanding how they flow and work, you will then place yourself to experience their full force and might.

You will start choking on sea water,and the salt is going to burn your nasal cavities,for in your floating position on your back,you are causing your sentive nasal areas , that don't normally get subjected to prolonged salt or fresh water.

For in the breast stroke position or if you are treading water, your head will be  low in the water, your nasal cavities are facing downwards( like sit up if you are choke on water that will enter your airways),and if they get some water,they will fill up slightly,but still allow you to sniff in air to your lungs,while you hear and feel the water sniffing sensations ,sounds and noises coming from your nasal cavities, that have water circulating and sweriling at the bottom of these cavities, which is an awesome anatomy of the human body. .

You would have experienced this trait and occurance, if you have been swimming in the sea or fresh water pool ,or had a bath and washed and rinsed your hair,and taken water up your nose,which would of caused you to instantaneously bolt up into a sitting position.

The Oceans are not a calm bath, where even just your arm movements of rinsing your hair,will cause small ripples in the water to wash over your eyes and swamp your nose.You will place your airways in great danger if you choose to adopt the " Float Mode on your back,taught in swimming pools". You also won't have the odds stacked in your favour as you could miss out on a clump of Seaweed, or even a 2 liter plactic bottle floating in the ocean that could aid you to float. 

The Oceans are full of opportunities don't choose to miss out, it you be the difference of you surviving or drowning.

The problem is that little Children hang onto words and beliefs and they will believe that to escape a Rip Current, they have been told and taught in swimming pools, that they should just float.

It might be the first " Dumper or Cracker Wave or the second, and by this time of been pounded they have lost their advantage of been prepared for endurance in Rip Currents, Side Currents and Outward Pulling Surges on Sandbanks.

For  little Children would even believe  that an " Outward Pull on a Sandbank, is a Rip Current,  little do they know that they are about to go into " Float Mode" on a Sandbank, the worst tatic you could ever adopt in this area and the " White Water , Dumpers and Curling Lips of Yin and Yang are about to " Snuff out their little Souls Light and Hope, and they are about to be over whelmed by the Forces of Yin and Yang.

By the third  white water or wave of Yin and Yang, that little Child would of drowned and be bouncing and bumping into the sandy or rocky bottom.

No this is not right or good and I have come back to add some more insights and understandings of what takes place in the World's 4 Ocean's , when children, teens and adults believe they are in difficulties in their 4 Oceans.

Dont let this happen to your child or your friends children,for the World's 4 Ocean's are not complicated or hard to see or understand what is happening within their motions of movement.

Learn to understand and gain insights from your " Body's Natural Traits and Abilities to Protect Yourself".

Your body has an amazing ability and it is adrenaline, which you have to understand how to use.

This is how you use it.You in the water and yes you are scare, but it is good for by been scared you can release adrenaline in controlled amounts, it is your "Super Power" and can sustain you for exceptional long periods, when you understand how to use your " Super Power".You already have begun to understand your 4 Oceans, you know what is happen around you, for you now understand the Aqua-Forces of Yin and Yang.You are far calmer in your Aqua-Playground.Now use your new insights and understandings to move with the flow and motions of Aqua,and tap into your " Super Power " of Adrenaline to give yourself super endurance,for you are calm and low in the water,and adrenaline is surging through your body to give you loads of strength so keep your head low in the water, for you could do this all day if you like, for your calm-fear has given you "Super Powers of Endurance".

NB NB NB: Many children, teens and adults drown within two minutes of been pushed or pulled into " Rip ,Side-currents and Outward- surges on sandbanks, because they panic and get a super load of adrenaline, then try swim as hard as possible towards the shore.

The problem that now occurs ,is that they build up a huge amount of lactic acid, that drains their energy to a point we're their arms and legs feel like lead,and they can't keep their heads above the water,for they have used up all their body's energy and strength, and then their head goes just below the waterline and they drown,with open eyes knowing they are drowning.

Don't ever panic like this ,or attempt to keep your head and chest high above the waters surface,for you will waste your body's strength and energy and you will drown if you do this.

Remember you are a Water Baby now, and you Surf- Zone-Wise and you keep your head low and just your nose sticks out of the water at times,for you know how to conserve your body's energy and endurance strength.

·      Now if you get pulled out into the Rip Currents relax and think of how easy it was to reach the shallow water with your “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming. You need to conserve your energy now and this is how you do it. Stay low in the water like a “Frog” or “Navy Seal Diver”. Salt water is very buoyant when compared to fresh water. Keep your head low in the water and if you held your breath and placed your head in the water and spread your arms and legs out like a " Skydiver", you would float.Now acknowledge how easy it is to float, for some people who drown will be found in this position ,if they are exhausted and manage a breath in,but then go under the water,for their airways will shut closed and lock in the air in their lungs, and some would have no water in their lungs because of the human body's ability to shut off their airways, if choking is occurring. The only way to open the airways now , would be to breath through your nose ( small sniff in of air) and then cough out the object or water that may have caused this natural trait and protection mechanism of the human body to protect itself.

BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER AND NOT EXHAUSTED WITH YOUR HEAD JUST BELOW THE WATER LINE.

By keeping your head low in the water you will be able to see the foam and current ripples and movements of Yin and Yang Forces as you go over the swells and between two white wash waves. 

 It is very important to be observant in this “ Navy Seal Position or be like a Frog that if it move to much, the Bass will feel the vibrations and rise in a smashing aerial display and engulf the Frog”, for you will save loads of energy and be able to navigate out of the Rips,Side-rips and Outward-Pulling-Surges. 

YOU MUST PUT ALL THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOUR Now:

You have to lookout for surfers or big people ,who you can wave to in the water or call out to help for.

You might even be lucky and a boogie board might appear in front of you for your to grab hold of.

You will also be very close to the so look to the shore for people to wave at, to draw attention to yourself.

If it is early in the morning and the Sun is shinning from behind you or late in the afternoon, then don't try and draw attention from people in this line of sight in the Sun's glare,for they won't see you,look to the sides of the Sun's glare for people.

The common practices and advice  been punted by "Global Lifeguard Clubs" is that people should not enter the water to help you, but should throw in a life buoy or any object that floats, thats rather cool, for you are not trying to float on your back, and you paying attention to your surroundings and taking note of anyone who might of thrown in a life buoy or floating object for you.

Now this is a bonus ,and I will tell you how to get to that life buoy or floating object.

Yes at present you believe it is impossible because you and the floating object are moving at the same speed of the current and the distance is far between you and that floating object.

Now you paid attention to Yin and Yang's Forces before you entered the water. You also know which way the side current is going,you also saw the " Rotating Guysers" on each side of the Rip Channel.You facing the waves and keep looking back at the floating object.You notice that the slight breeze has blown the floating object to the Opposite side of the side current,so now when you past the Rip Channel ,you have to swim towards the Guysers that has the floating boogie board moving out on its bow like rip current edges, on its side of the sand bank.

You are now going to enter this Guyser and stay on the seaward side and go round and round in this Gysers ,which is outside the backline, and soon the boodgie board will becoming to you,and will enter the same Gysers, see now you got the boogie board and you floating on it ,well done.

Now if the Surf is big and there are loads of Dumpers and Waves, then don't try to reach the shore, just wait for you will be rescued. Take the dog leash of the boogie board and put it on your arm, stay in this rotating Gyser for it makes it easier for a lifeguard you has emerged the same Rip Channel you went out on, for they will be with you soon.

Now you see how easy it was to reach this Gysers and how quickly it happened, for the Rip Current Channel took you there in 1.2 minutes,nice and you still got loads of energy.

Now you might have gone swimming by yourself and have no boogie board and you will have to plan your course and path back to shore ,for with your new understanding and personal insights of the World's 4 Oceans you will be able to plan ahead.

 Now let’s stop for a moment about you been in a  Gyser, Surf Zone Rip ,Side-rip or a Straight-Outward- Sandbank Pulling current. 

Now before you enter the ‘Surf’ on your chosen beach of the day, do this. 

Sit on the higher marked sand areas, and watch the surface foam near shore, in the shore break areas, the middle surf and the backline. See what this beach is doing and acknowledge the various forces of Yin and Yang in these areas.  

Now look back at buildings, shore line features, ambulation block facilities, and any reference point you can use to line up the various Rip Channels, Side Channels and the Features of the Sandbanks, and the motions and movements of Yin and Yang's Forces within the Aqua of this beach. 

For when you now enter the water and get pushed or pulled into a Rip Currents,  Side Currents or Straight Outward Pulling Currents,  you can now use all the shore line features to know exactly where you are in the "Surf- Zone" and these land mark features can now be used by you to use the forces of Yin and Yang to reach the shoreline safely again.

High tide and low tide also affect any beach area ‘Big time’. Often on the drop of the tide, rip current mushrooms will increase and push further off shore. Some beach locations will have extreme tidal differentiations,which will result in " Phenominal Ocean Currents".

Some beaches also increase Rip Current strengths on the high tide. The surface foam, bow like rip current edges and current ripple lines movements, are easy to see, all you have to do is to be calm and watch the signs mentioned, for Yin and Yang will show you how to increase your personal knowledge of the World's 4 Oceans. 

Now walk along the shore line of the spot you would like to swim at. 150 meters each side of your chosen spot. Identify the Rip currents in the area, as well as the direction of the side current, for some rips will be effected by another rip channel on the opposite side to the sandbank of the rip you are watching.

Now, this is how Rip Currents Work:

You are standing on the beach on the higher sand and looking at a rip current.

 On either side, there are two sandbanks that channel the force of the set of waves, with their increasing “Steps of height, depth and strength of water” into the Rip Channel. Most times the sandbanks on either side will make a “ V-shape’’ of the rip channel, often in areas around the world where there are big swells and waves, there will be lots of big side channels closer to shore and running parallel with the shoreline

One of the sandbanks is going to have a greater force of the flow of water. Let’s say it is the left-hand side sandbank, for this rip current channel. Now the set of waves come in and flood both sandbanks. The Oceans also cause irregular sandbank backline breaks at time and the set can often break first on one sandbank, due to the swells at times been slightly bigger on the one sandbank, this will influence the surge and pulse of the side current for a period.

The water is going to push stronger from the left-hand side bank and cause a surge of aerated water to sweep towards the shore and towards the right, at the same time, it is also going to push the water on the bottom to start up the motor of the outgoing rip. The central fugal force of the aerated water surging in is going to twist anti-cyclonic,in the southern hemisphere, as it fills in and meets the swallow area of the right hand side of the bank. This 10meter area is going to the left-hand surge moving right and it will deflect and slow the surge, a break in the strength of the left-hand surge will occur. 

Many people experiencing this and will say the currents are coming from all sides, and start to panic. Now if they could just understand Natures Yin and Yang forces at play, they could use these forces in their favour to oh so easily navigated rip currents with their own personal understands.

 I will complete this when I return from sea in about 8 days time. So far you have got some new insights and understandings of the Worlds 4 Oceans.

But know this, the common beach rip current signs that are up on many of the world's beaches, where it shows a rip current going out and then states that to escape the rip you can just move out left or right or just swim parrall to the beach. This is very incorrect and is going to cause great panic for people who are caught in rip currents,for they will soon realise that the World's 4 Oceans don’t behave like this and the " Side Rip" will prevent them from escaping to the signs proposal of just escape left or right, for all beaches with their Rip Channels have Side Currents.Look at your chosen beach or watch you tube videos of rip currents, look at the the left and right side of the backline Rip Channel, see the two sides they have to Guysers that Move in Opposition Directions, this is Yen and Yang ,who are showing you exactly how they Flow of Aqua- In- Motion.

Now look to the Sand Banks of these " Two Guysers" see the " Slack Water" see how it Rotates with the adjacent Rip Channels Guysers,now as you came out of this Rip Channel and you would get pulled into this Guysers.

Breast stroke or make your body long and glide on the sea- side and go around this Guysers, for if you cut or try to escape into this Guyser , it will rotate you back into the Rip Channel you just came out of.You plan must be to use this Guysers Out-Side- Edges and meet the "Inward-Surge Force of the Waves, and use the Waves Inward Surge and Pull of the Guysers Force on this Inward- Wave- Surging-Area.

You moving in with the Wave-Surge and if the Guyser is on your Right-Hand- Side you angle your inward move towards the beach slightly to the left and cut with and across this current.Do the Opposite for the Guysers on your Left- Hand-Side.

Now the Side-Current ,what did you observe at this beach spot you chose to swim at For if you are moving and been pulled out of the Rip Channel, you must take into the account what the " Side-Current" is doing in your " Aqua-Playgrounds,for you want to stack the odds in your favour, so if the Side-Current is moving from the Left to the Right , then when you go out of the Rip Channel ,you would pick to go to the Sea-Side of the Right hand Gysers,so that you can use the Side- Current on the Sand Bank to your advantage and planned exciting strategy. Will draw a diagram sketch.As often there will be a backline side current of Yen and Yang and they will twist into each other.You can witness this on You Tube Videos and Drone Footage of these Forces.So next time you on a Beach and See the Rip Current Signage of " Escape to the left or Right" know and understand that the Forces of Yen and Yang in the World's 4 Ocean's do not work as the signage is tell you it does.

Use your Aqua-Sight to See Yin and Yang's Forces ,for the are not complicated and acknowledge them ,for they will " Save Your Life and the Lives of Your Brothers,Sisters and Friends". Trust your Eyes and your Mind and Soul,for your Soul is their to Guide and Protect You.

Another thing is that when you look at videos or diagrams and you see arrows over layed and indicating the rips, just look carefully at it, and see what is truly happening to Yin and Yang's Forces in the videos or overlayed pictures ,see the rip ripples and foam, as many of these arrows are not showing in the right direct of what the water is showing you. Yes there are some good sketches ,but far more bad ones. Will put a few sketches I did up here and will complete this text when I return from sea. So far you are already a lot more Ocean Wise and I will help you become very wise of the true happenings of Nature's Yin and Yang Forces in the Worlds 4 Oceans

·      ‘Northern Hemisphere Waters’ turn easy “Clockwise” and ‘Southern Hemisphere Waters’ turn easy “Anti-clockwise easily ”.

Look at the beach you are going to swim at and see how the waves roll up the beach slope.

For beach goers in South Africa, where there are strong Rip,Side -currents and Outward- Pulling-Surges on sandbanks ,the beach sand will show a steep slope with peaks and troughs on this shoreline.Some beaches can have flat sand areas and be sheltered by a bay and there can be huge currents present, due to wave size

You can walk this shoreline for 20 meters and these dips and high peaks are your first sign that the beach you are on, is extremely dangerous.

Now sit just above the high tide mark between two raised shoreline peaks and watch the shore break roll up the beach line.

You will notice that when you siting and facing the ocean,more water will roll to your left and when water runs down from the the two high sand peaks ,there will be far more water on the right and side and when these two forces of water meet in the centre of the trough,the right hand wavelet will be bigger,and if you stood in a bigger shore break in this trough,you would be knocked off your feet and pulled into the shore break.

Now this is were most small children get pulled into the oceans.

You will often see little children who can not swim , running and playing together here as they laugh with each other and run up and down the slopes playing with the shore break surf as it rolls up and down the beach.

The problems are that the small children can't judge the incoming shore break and also can't run as fast as the bigger children.

You will notice that bigger children are stronger and run faster and wait longer before they run up the beach to escape the inward shore break.

The small children also wait ,and then the bigger children turn to run up the beach and bump into the little kids and knock them to the sand or they run past the little kids,who try to turn and run but they trip themselves against the bigger children.

The shore break surges in and floods the trough and the outward surge now pulls the small kid into the shore break and the trough hole.

The next surge shore break wave slams the wind and breath out of the small kid,and having no air in their lungs, they sink below the surface and the side rip , rip current and outward- surge pull drags the kid out.

The bigger kids scream for help and people come running to help, but the little kid bouncing and bumping on the sand is no longer in the area ,where many eyes are frantically searching and watching.

Now if you where Surf-Zone- Wise and could read the waters motions of Yen and Yang,you would know which way to go and dive to the sandy bottom to grab the little kid.

So next time you on a beach and see little kids playing like this ,go up to them and get them to stop ,and then explain the dangers of what they are doing.

Remember little kids like this will always listen to what you are saying,for their mindsets at this age are finely tuned for knowledge of self preservation of anything that will protect their little lives.

Help them become Surf-Zone wise like you and your friends and family members.

Now if you have little brothers and sisters and would like to teach them to swim and float like you in breast stroke mode with the least amount of energy required,by knowing how to keep their heads low and just above the water, this is how you do it.

Go and lie down in the swallows of a small tidal pool or a calm beach or sit on the steps of a swimming pool or swallow pool.

Now explain and show them how you put your head in the water,then lift it out again and then take a small breath through your mouth and blow it out through your nose to clear water from your nose and your nasal cavities.

Now tell them about people who are choking on food or water.

Tell them that their body has a natural defence mechanism to protect their little lives.

Tell them that if they eat something and swallow incorrectly at it gets stuck in their airways or they get water into their airways then their ................  will close and that only by sniffing in through their nose can they open their airways again and then use the air that they have sniffed in through their nose ,to cough out the object or water that has gone down their windpipe.

This is an amazing ability of all humans to remove objects or water from their airways.

All small children will be afraid of choking and the main reason why so many are afraid of water.

Now get your little brother or sister to put their head in the water and then lift it out again and take a small breath through their mouth and then blow out through their nose to remove water.

Now tell them even if they get some water in their nose, they can still sniff in through their nose and then blow out through their nose,to get the water out of their nasal cavity.

They can even pinch their nose slightly,to create a greater force of air pressure to get rid of any water in their nasal cavities.Just like when they use toilet or tissue paper to blow their nose at times.

Now your brother or sister can and understand how to clear their airways,and is showing no signs of stress and can clear their airways easily now.

Now explain about taking a big breath and filling their lungs like balloons,for balloons can float on water.

Now show them and take a big breath, and then lie in the water like a Skydiver with out stretch arms and your head in the water,then lift your head and clear your airways.

Then get them to do this in swallow water and lift their head out of the water and clear their airways.

Now explain to them that the lower they keep their heads in the water in breaststroke mode, the easier it is to conserve their body's strength.

Now get them to put their head in the water and do breaststrokes three times, and kick scissor kicks then lift their head out of the water and keep it very low and close to the waters surface and clear their airways, while continuing to breaststroke and scissor kick.

Guess what you have just taught your little brother or sister to swim, and they have a new Aqua skill and you teaching them to become Surf-Zone-Wise and a Water Baby of Yin and Yang just like you, well done.

You have also giving your little brother and sister a gift of Aqua-Sight and Wisdom, for if they are playing in the Surf- Zone-Beach Slope chasing and running away from waves and get knocked down to the sand and pulled out by the shorebreak , guess what they won't be bouncing on the sandy bottom and they will be breast stroking with their heads low in the water and clearing their airways, for they can now easily be rescued, well done you are looking after your little brothers and sisters nicely, well done, nice more Water Babies are coming alive.

The reason I have type this is because my daughter asked me last year to help the kids here in South Africa not to drown during the 2018 Christmas Holidays.

So I walk the beaches of "Kogelbaai" and "Dappats se Gat" and sketched noted all the Rip and Side-channels,then sketched and laminated and placed them up on these beaches.

I decided to do one better and did CAD drawings and laminated them and put them up at Strand, Kogelbaai and Dappats se Gat.

In 2018 no one drowned at the Camping Grounds at Kogelbaai.

My daughter is now also concerned about Global Warming and Climate Change and said that she and her friends are very worried about Earth only having 12 years left before it reaches a point of no return and can I help her and her friends save the Earth from the 6th Mass Extinction.

Of course I would help her and her friends I said.

She has been doing projects and concepts to clean up rivers and the World's 4 Ocean of Sewerage,Nano Plastics and Pollutants and Green Blue Algae.

She has a good few youtube videos up of these concepts.

She asked how could she raise money to help clean the World's Rivers and 4 Ocean.

I said to her that Dad can't draw all the Beaches Rip Currents on CAD drawings and laminate and put them up,but what dad can do is help you think of a way to do this and generate money for the various rivers and oceans in these areas.

She can get children, teens and adults to send in drone footage of their local beaches,then we can show them how to identify the Ocean's Currents of Yin and Yang, then people can sponsor the exact for someone to do the CAD drawing, then people can sponsor or donate the exact amount to have CAD drawing done, then the exact amount to have it printed at a print shop with UV protection sticker to be placed on a sponsored or exact amount beach pole and board. This will save children, teens and adults lives who come to this beach for the day, for children and teens of today are video and piture orientated and curious. 

I said to her that she must start Facebook groups to raise awareness about how easy it is to help save Global Children from drowning at their World's 4 Ocean's Beaches, and then get people who want videos taken of them surfing, kiteboarding or doing Aqua- sports, then she organizes for kids who can put zoom on extension lenses on to their cell phones or cameras then earn some money and give R5 or $5 to one of her river or ocean pollution filtering concepts for that part of the World's Rivers and Ocean. People can also donated to that part of the World's Rivers and ocean for her filtering of  Nano Plastics and Pollutants Environmental projects.

I also told her that the only way that Climate Change and Global warming can be stopped, is if Global Citizens understand how the World's 4 Ocean's and Nature work. People can only come up with solutions if they understand how these forces of Yin and Yang have been working for Billions of years.

Her main focused must be on creating " Oxygen", for  Climate Change and Global Warming are due to Planet Earth's thinning of its Protective Ozone layer, which has resulted in a weakened Magnetosphere, which is allowing the Sun's Solar Flares, Gamma Rays to superheat the World's 4 Ocean's and Landmasses, which are now been seen as accelerated Global Warming and Climate Change, for Nature's Yin and Yang's Aqua Bodies are unbalanced.

If you believe this is something you would be interested in the have a look at her Facebook page and groups.
