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 Rip Currents of the World's 4 Oceans.
Todays “ Global Children’’ are picture and video orientated and if they receive misunderstandings and incorrect knowledge of Yin and Yang's Aqua- forces, 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-Pullung- Surges on sandbanks, surrounded by the easy to see, identify and understand  Forces of Yin and Yang that can help children save their own lives ".
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-forces or individuals who are 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 the real motions of the World’s 4 Ocean's Aqua-Forces, for these forces are easy to see and understand once you chose to develop your own personal sight of Aqua-Sight of your 4 Oceans.


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 them.
Children will be able to understand the various forces at play, at any given time and cycles of the various wave actions and their resulting effects on water dynamics, that can be seen with the  naked eye,  for those who choose to see “Nature’s Yin and Yang's Forces of Aqua-In-Motion."
 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 the 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 and end destinations, that results in no panic, but allows for the enjoyments, insights, and understandings of the present surroundings and the end destination.

The Basic ABC’s of the World’s 4 Ocean’s Surf Zones:

·      Waves come towards the shore in “Steps of Depths of the oncoming Set”.( each wave is going to be bigger than the wave in front of itself, hence the “ Step-effect of Increasing Depth and Force”. 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 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 the shallow surf zones empties 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 centerline 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 these deeper channels. These Rip Current Channels have the greater force and are pulling water off the sandbank on both sides. “Bow-Currents” are forming right on the edges of the sandbanks, see the Indian like Bow-Currents as they curve and make strong ripple 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.
·      Now for young children who are following their bigger brothers, sisters or friends be careful and don’t follow them into deep, for if you cannot stand on the sand, the water is going to pull you to one side 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 short about half a meter and keep your feet together and raise them vertically and kick them down slightly and then raise them vertically and reap 3 times. By doing this you are using the Force's of Yin and Yang's " Wave-Surge", to propel yourself through the water, for Yen and Yang are going to help you and cause a surge of water moving forward to push on your raised vertical and flipping together legs. 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”. Now if you are been pulled out and been pulled to one side do the “Surf Flip & Kick Dive Swimming’’, but angle your motion slightly to the opposite side you are been pulled, for the centerline of the sandbank is your safer zone. 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 current streaks that are moving towards the short and they cut into the “Side Rip Current” and break its 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 Rip Current” and acknowledge ‘Nature’s Yin and Yang Forces of Water’, for you are now becoming a “Water-Baby who has begun to understand the 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 is and will grow’’.
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, which also push water backward, with aerated vortexes that will have areas that are spinning counter and anticyclonic, causes you to be pushed and pulled in different directions, now some sandbanks also generate a force backward, don't panic it is fine,it is just a cycle of how Yin and Yang's Forces have been flowing for Billions of Years. This can happen for 3 incoming waves, the 4 th wave is now going to Suge in hard, move with this force on your planned position and course to reach your safe zone.
Always remember this when you navigating Rip , Side Channels or a Sand Bank, you must use the incoming surges and the forces of Yin and Yang and they come in 3 's. Don't fight or try to 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 " Sand Bank 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, so duck bellow the water if one of these Stinging Dumpers are about to break on you. The surge and white water will tumble you if you don't duck and dive outwards. Don't be afraid to do this, for you might be panicking and want to keep moving towards the shoreline, rather move outwards and protect yourself from these Dumpers, as the next white water surge will push you towards the shoreline. Yin and Yang Forces even push-in pieces of " Seaweed", to the shoreline" and seaweeds don't swim, yet they reach the shoreline, just like you will. Just keep calm and low in the water and conserve your energy.
Your body has an amazing ability and it is adrenaline, which you have to understand how to use it.
This is how you use it.You in the water and yes you 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 exceptionally long periods, when you understand how to use your " Super Power".You already have begun to understand your 4 Oceans, you know what is happening 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 where their arms and legs feel like lead, and they can 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”. Saltwater is very buoyant when compared to freshwater. 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 their reflex breathing stopped, 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 breathe 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.By keeping your head low in the water you will be able to see the foam and current ripples and movement of Yin and yang forces as you go over the swells and between two whitewash waves. 
 It is very important to be observant in this “ Navy Seal Position”, for you will save loads of energy and be able to navigate out of the Rips, Side-rips, and Outward-Pulling-Surges. 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 Surf Zone Rip, Side-rip or a Straight-Outward- Sand Bank 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, shoreline features, ambulation facilities, and any reference point you can use to line up the various Rip and Side Currents of Yin and Yang's Forces of the of this beach area. 

For when you now enter the water and get pushed or pulled into a Rip, Side Current or Outward Straight Out Pull Current, you can now use all the shoreline features to know exactly where you are in the "Surf- Zone" and these land 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 offshore. 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 shoreline 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 affected 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 and depth of water” into the Rip Channel. Most times the sandbanks on either side will make a “ V-shape’’ of the rip channel. 

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 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 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 upon 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 parallel 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 realize 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 youtube videos of rip currents, look at the left and right side of the backline Rip Channel, see the two sides they have Gyre that Moves in Opposition Directions, this is Yin and Yang, who are showing you exactly how they Flow of Aqua- In- Motion.
Now look to the Sand Banks of these " Two Gyre" see the " Slack Water" see how it Rotates with the adjacent Rip Channels Gyre, now as you came out of this Rip Channel and you would get pulled into this Gyre
Breaststroke or make your body long and glide on the seaside and go around this Gyre, for if you cut or try to escape into this Gyre, it will rotate you back into the Rip Channel you just came out of. Your plan must be to use this Gyre Out-Side- Edges and meet the "Inward-Surge Force of the Waves, and use the Waves Inward Surge and Pull of the Gyrte Force on this Inward- Wave- Surging-Area.
You moving in with the Wave-Surge and if the Gysers 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 Gyre 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 Right-hand Gyre, 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 YouTube 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 telling you it does.

Use your Aqua-Sight to See Yin and Yang's Forces, for they are not complicated and acknowledge them, for they will " Save Your Life and the Lives of Your Brothers, Sisters and Friends". 

Trust your Eyes, Mind, and Soul, for your Soul is there to Guide and Protect You.

Another thing is that when you look at videos or diagrams and you see arrows overlayed 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 direction of what the water is showing you. Yes, there are some good sketches, but far more bad ones. I 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 beachgoers 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 sandy areas, for they are in a bay and there can be huge currents present.
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 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 center 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 and rip currents 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 Yin 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 breaststroke mode and know how to keep their heads low in the water this is how you do it.
Go and lie down in the swallows of a small tidal pool, gentle beach or sit on the steps of a swimming 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 defense mechanism to protect their little lives.
Tell them that if they eat something or get water in, that their airways 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 outstretch 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 and chasing and running away from waves and get knocked down to the sand and pulled out by the shore break , 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 look afters your little brothers and sisters 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 beachs of "Kogelbaai" and "Dappats se Gat" and notes all the Rip and Side-channels,then sketched and laminated and placed them up on these beaches.
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 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 a set about for someone to do the CAD drawing, then people to sponsor the exact amount to have CAD drawing done, then the exact amount to have it printed at 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 

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 the 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 donate 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 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 the Climate Change and Global Warming is due to Earth's loss of Ozone layer, which has resulted in a weaken Magnetosphere, which is allowing the Sun's Solar Flares, Gamma and Alpha Rays to superheat the World's 4 Ocean's and landmasses, which is now been seen as accelerated Global and Climate Change.

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