I wanted to talk a little bit about how waves are formed and the truth is that most of the waves that we see, our coasts, they are formed very far away. There are stones in the middle of the ocean where the wind from the stones tracks the surface of the sea over a large extent of water, and that extent of water is called fetch. So we basically need three ingredients. We need wind, spin, wind duration and the fetch length, and the larger the ingredients, the larger the waves. Right. So we have this area in the middle of the ocean. We will have all of these ways of different sizes getting together that's quite similar to the first image that Killian had in his presentation. So in deep water, the waves travel at the speed that is given only by the size of the waves. So the larger waves travel faster. So think about. Long distance rate. Think about the Olympics and the 10,000 kilometres rather.
