Yeah so a real wave! Are there impostor waves out there, has nature picked up one of those fake diplomas? What makes a wave real. I thought a wave was a wave it's either there or it's not

Can someone please explain?

Ground swell?

Well for most of us a "real wave" is 2ft onshore mush with a difficult shorebreak, lateral drift and weed to contend with.
For the select few a real wave is logo/mast high cross offshore reef breaks.

JP once produced a board called the "Real World Wave" specifically for riding "Real" waves unfortunately it turns out that we all live in a WoW simulation so the board was of no use to anyone except eyeMhardcore.

One day I did ride a RealWorldWave on what I estimated to be a 'real' wave - so I did feel like I was keepin' it real.

A Mexican Wave ?

are they the ones always taking our jobs?

Gravitational waves were conjectured by Henri Poincare in 1905 and observed in 2016 using the Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration. Now weather or not a JP Real World Wave board could ride those waves is open to conjecture. So, another Nobel Prize could be had . Wow, wouldn't that look good on the C.V.

^^^ speaking of gravity - I did have one of the heavier variety once, slapped it and rode the waves in.
OK, maybe twice.

Anyway, Vince, how we doing? Helping, no doubt....

Was her name Virgo ?

Or was that a his ?

Any wave that you can ride without an expensive rig on a top of the board is the real wave

I guess it would depend on what the definition of "real" is?

Ah yes thank you all clear as mud now. One thing that is clear, nobody really has a proper clue! except for JP (maybe because it's their term) but they haven't provided an explanation yet. I guess that if it is above knee height it's a wave and anything that is logo and above, i think, that's when ** gets real

If you didn't dream it , it was probably real.
Also stay away from those cheap Chinese copies , they'll break before the end of the run.
