THERE may be a professional sport, somewhere, that depends more than surfing on the conditions of the playing field, but I've been trying all day, and can't think of one.
It's why the professional surfing circuit - at the top - evolved away from the bums-on-the-beach model it began with, into the Dream Tour of the old Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP), and then to the current Championship Tour (CT) of the present setup controlled by the privately owned World Surf League.
