The Science of Surfing: Miguel Ángel Camprubi for TED-Ed

Catching a perfect wave is not only one of the most exciting and rewarding sports out there, but it’s also the result of a combination of complex physical factors. From weather patterns in the Pacific to tectonic geology and fluid mechanics, surfing relies on all these forces - and even more!

Along with educator Nick Pizzo and animation studio Wonderlust, Miguel took part in creating an animated video that unveils the science of surfing for TED’s youth and education platform, TED-Ed.

Miguel used his signature style to create lovely characters; paired up with a fresh colour palette, he set an upbeat and eye-catching mood for the video, proving that education can definitely be fun and easy to relate to.

After months of collaboration and hard work, the video is finally online and has already been seen by hundreds of thousands of people!
