Hey dudes! I heard what you said about the long boarders so I checked out the Abu Dhab event and I agree the way the waves broke and shaped up changed quite a bit between waves. I’m curious to see the different settings for the shortboarders. I wanted to say a few things about the Olympics after thinking about it for a few weeks now that it’s ended. I do now think the event should be in a wave pool for the Olympics. The Olympics aren’t for the best of the best but who is the best on the day, in all sports. Rock climbing seems like the closest event to surfing for me. For the Olympics they make all their walls in controlled spaces, and it was exiting and entertaining and I could follow it in a few mins without knowing much about the sport. If we’re gonna have people who don’t follow surfing be able to understand it and remain engaged we should have the waves show up on demand every few mins. The WSL is for the best overall surfers in the world that year who can preform in all conditions etc. (then again on finals day😅) Next, we should all be watching at least 2-5 mins of the longboarding events so it gets views on TH-cam. If they can show it’s popular enough we can get it as a second discipline in the Olympics and the sport will be more likely to remain in the Olympics past the next couple cycles the USA and Australia. Thanks again for all the insights and takes on last year! 🌊
