When I was a kid in Japan (dad was in the Navy) the Security Police on base would come to school and give a presentation of explosive ordnance to tell us to not touch anything that we'd find. It was possible to find bullets, hand grenades and bombs on base. It was also possible to find stone age flint and obsidian arrow heads, knives and spear heads on base.

I was there twice, by the time the below occurred, I'd been gone the second time for 6 years.

"July 29, 1991: Japanese construction workers discovered a 1,000 pound, unexploded U.S. M-65 bomb from World War II during the excavation for the foundation of the new hospital facility. Security Force Airmen evacuated the area and redirected traffic until the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Airmen could identify and defuse the explosive device. U.S. Navy aircraft dropped the bomb on Misawa Air Base on either July 14 or August 8, 1945. See Northern Light, August 2, 1991."

We had a little store called "Klopps" right at the entrance to our neighborhood in Norfolk. Rode our bikes there and bought candy and sodas. Back then one of the most exciting things for us was trying to decide which candy to buy that day because there were so many good ones to choose from!

How does the physics of that work?

I was going to post the same question, as it sure seems odd. So, I googled it and this was the best explanation I found:

It's a longboard, those things are super buoyant. Additionally certain boards are specifically shaped for nose riding, things like wider nose for more buoyancy up front and a rounded bottom.

More specifically you'll notice you don't see noseriding while the surfer is perpendicular to the wave but rather more parallel. Thus while the front of the board looks very out of the water, they have the rails of the surfboard on the side closest to the wave dug into the water relatively far up, thus giving a lot of resistance to their weight. Meanwhile the tail of the board will either be unweighted (sort of like a skateboard nose manual, but not so dramatic), acting a bit like you're riding a shorter board. Combined with the slope of the wave and the rushing water underneath the nose, it prevents diving (you are technically diving, but the curve of the wave and your forward momentum keeps catching you). Or the tail will actually be dug into the water partly submerged (usually under the curl of the water), giving resistance against being pulled upwards.
