^^ how could you even begin to consider ski boarding being cooler than surfing. If surfing doesn't belong in the X games than skiing definatly doesn't. Surfing is just as extreme as any other sport i can think of

I like surfing when they are on huge waves, or the are going for like I guess you would call it the 'big air' of surfing, where they just air off the waves

I don't know, it might be the fact that a lot of the people on here don't surf. Why do so many people think skiing is gay? Because they don't ski. At least for me, It is amazing to watch the pros on all different sorts of waves.

i think it's a sweet addition..
and i too love watchin surfing..
i personally don't surf..but i understand how hard it is..and the different stuff they do..
i skimboard..so i started watching skim videos..and then it's kinda evolved into liking to watch surfing too..even though i never really did before..

i think surfing is to bodyboarding like skiing is to skiboarding. one is hardcore, the other is like it's little homosexual brother.

while surfing takes some serious skill, there is no exciting stuff in it, at least to my knowledge there isnt, no big air, no tricks, nothin big than the waves from time to time

hahaha..lanks..nice one man..

i'm not too into surfing so i can't really comment on the progression thing too much..but it kinda seems like it's been the same for a while..i kinda like that though..

i did see someone do a kickflip surfing a couple days ago though..

I agree, im not sure how progressive surfing is.. but that might very well be because im not into so i wouldnt know. I dont mind watchin' it and it would be cool in the summer x games. I'd have to question the size of the waves though as said above..

Surfing seems pretty sweet. I wish I could learn how to surf. You just don't get too many big waves here by lake Ontario!

i've seen 360's but they were all pretty small. Surfing looks like tons of fun but unfortunately the great lakes don't have big enough waves. It is kinda boring to watch. At least on bluetorch and 54321.

I have lived a couple blocks from Lake Michigan for years now and have been surfing it for 3 years now. Sure waves can be produced from storms but there are plenty of sunny days with surfable conditions (espicially in the spring and fall). All the lakes need for waves are steady winds with a long fetch (the distance that waves can travel and grow). For example, if you are on the southern shore of Lake Michigan, you need a wind of about 15 kts or higher for a day or so from the north and you have decent conditions. Sure they are nothing compared to the oceans, but it is better than nothing. I was surfing 8 foot waves just a couple weeks ago.
