Carriage Return ("CR")

Just downstream of ***Backspace*** lies ***Carriage Return***, a better-formed wave, sometimes having breaking pile. At 800-1300 cfs, this offers front-surfs, side-surfs, and spins. For younger readers: Before computers, typewriters had a 'platen' on a 'carriage' which held a sheet of paper, and which moved left as one typed. When electric typewriters took over, some models had a type-ball on a 'carriage' which traversed the page (which no longer needed to move left and right). The keyboards on these typewriters had a 'carriage return' key (where the 'Enter' key is on modern keyboards) to reposition the 'carriage' to the left margin of the paper and move the paper up just slightly so the typist continued typing the next line. This wave is named to honor that history.
