A surfer would be concerned mostly with a waves amplitude as the larger the amplitude, the higher the wave crest.

When a surfer gets on the board heshe is adding mass to the surfboard In order to float with the surfer on board the combined of the surfer and board must still be less than that of water?

The force that causes things (like the surfer and the surfboard) to float is buoyancy. The force of buoyancy can be determined by the total weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. The more water that is displaced, the greater the force of buoyancy. Because the surfboard is large (displaces a lot of water) and is relatively light, the upward force of buoyancy from the water is greater than combined downward force from gravity of the surfer and the surfboard. Thus, the surfer and the surfboard float.

What is a warp bubble?

A warp bubble is a theoretical design of propulsion that is able to overcome the theory that nothing can travel passed the speed of light. Instead of trying to go faster, the warp bubble allows a craft to condense the space in front of them and expand the space in back of them. In essence it is like a cosmic surfer. The spacecraft would ride upon the wave of spacial distortion that it is creating by its warp bubble.


What effects the size of waves?

The depth of water affects wave size. As waves come toward land from the ocean, they are underwater. As the water (and wave) hit the bottom of the ocean approaching land, the wave is pushed up and becomes a very noticable event on the water surface. The more the water depth decreases, the farther the wave is pushed up - that's where those big surfer's waves come from.
