I used to believe that in the middle of the ocean was a giant plug. That the waves were caused by air going in and out of the plug. I always made sure that I only went out as far as I could touch the ground because I thought that if you went out to far the giant plug would be pulled and you would go down the drain and had no chance to get back to the sand.
