Therefore it is still better — useful for wave surfers. | Anyway, unlike traditional MEA which you can use for only one wave — this formula is capable of being used to maximize escape angle of every wave.

It seems that I made a mistake in previous calculation.
Correct calculation —
where x is retreat velocity (the negative of advancing velocity)
However this formula is not greater than the traditional one ;/
Sorry guys.
