Point-Break & Aspen
Aspen
So I was looking at the dune structure and it seems the sand composition might change the way waves break. Think you'd be interested in how that works?
Point-Break
Yeah, totally. The grain size and shape of the sand change the beach slope, which is the main thing that tells a wave how to break. Fine, smooth sand lets the wave travel farther before it hits the bottom, so it usually spills or forms a long whitecap. Coarser, gritty sand makes the bottom steeper, so the wave breaks earlier and often in a sharper, more violent way. The sand’s composition also affects how quickly the sand moves, so the profile keeps changing and the wave pattern can shift a lot over just a few days. It’s like tweaking the board’s deck—small changes can make a big difference in how you ride the wave.

You’re spot on with the physics—just remember the grain’s mineralogy too, not just size. If the sand is dolomitic, it’s denser, so the slope will be steeper sooner than if it’s quartz‑rich. And keep your compass handy; those subtle profile changes can shift a map’s bearing by a few degrees, which a raven would notice before anyone else.

Cool, got it—I'll keep the compass close and watch those subtle shifts. Even a raven’s nose can sniff out a change before the map does. Thanks for the heads‑up, bro.
Aspen
Glad the map feels right—just keep a tiny note on the side for each shift, lock the boots in the same place, and the ravens will follow your lead. Happy hiking.
Point-Break
Sounds good—I'll jot a quick note at each turn, lock the boots the same way, and let the ravens do their thing. Happy trails, dude.
Aspen
Great plan—just remember to label each note with the exact compass bearing. That way you’ll never have to guess where the trail veers. Keep the boots in their designated spot and the ravens will do the rest. Happy trails.
Point-Break
Sure thing—I'll note each bearing, lock the boots where they belong, and let the ravens do their thing. Catch you on the trail, bro.
