Short or long board? Years ago used to old school it at County Line, Rincon, Poche, Trestles on a 9’6” Harbour and Hobie.

Such a subjective scoring system. I guess not a lot different than gymnastics though.[/QUOTE

mine is a 6’6” fiberglass South Bay board co fish beef series board. Love it.

When the heck did surfing become an Olympic sport?? Now THIS is ridiculous. And I surf.

Just wait til 2024 when butthole surfing becomes a demonstration sport.

18 year old from Tunisia just won a gold medal in swimming in the 400 meter freestyle from lane 8. If you’ve never swam competitively before or don’t follow swimming, that almost never happens.

Really tried for a Luke Skywalker/18yr-old/filming location of Star Wars/Tunisia connection but it was a stretch even by my standards.

Soccer is in the Olympics? How many damn tournaments does the damn sport have????

Dude, just put on a scarf and enjoy it.

By my calculations that's 11teen tournaments since we last celebrated the rising of our savior.

Mine would like like a battleship next to yours. No ankle tethers back then (probably jerk a leg out of joint going over the falls). Nothing better than taking off on a nice break. I envy you.

If I was young again, this would be my choice!

Is it harder to swim in lane 8? Serious question. Do the lanes make a difference?

I’ve got a torn labrum that made paddling out pretty painful a couple of years ago in Mexico. Plus, we don’t get much of a break on the lake here…

Just watched five minutes of men's beach volleyball and saw the skyball serve of Adrian Carambula.

That is darning weird.

Does any sport have more whistles from the refs than water polo?
