I tend to disagree...
There is no push or pull, its just gravity.
Do swells move? or simply go up and down?
Waves breaking on the beach or breaking swells might be
different but ocean swells just seem to go up and down.
So ! maybe just getting the most waterline aimed down the face
would prove successful.
IMO.
Individual water droplets may not move but energy does. It is transferred from molecule to molecule. I understand your principle from a Physics viewpoint but I don't think you're really disagreeing with what Mike said.
Gravity and wind are what is helping you to ride in the trough of the energy wave being transferred through the ocean created by wind.
Tell me you only feel downwards force from gravity in your yacht when riding the ocean swell. Does your boat not surge forwards? I've spent a bit of time on yachts as well and it sure feels like you're being pulled and pushed to me.
