Should surfing be an olympic event?

Question

Should surfing be an olympic event?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Actually, I think that would be awesome.

Answer 3

The question is not if they should but it into the olympics but if they CAN. Seas are very unreliable for producing waves on time and installing a wave generator is pretty dificult. Plus, how would they rate it?  

Answer 4

Oh gawd, I even made a sarcastic comment the other day about all these silly Olympic events sprouting everywhere, like curling.  

"What's next?" I asked, "Surfing?"

Although surfing is fun to watch, many countries that don't have oceans would be disadvantaged, making the same countries win the gold:  the US and Australia.

But it's OK by me to make it an Olympic event.  It would be up to me to watch it or not.

Answer 5

Another Gold medal to Australia!

Answer 6

yes it should be... it would be the best sport!

Answer 7

In order for a sport to be in included on the Summer Olympics program , it must be widely practiced by men and women, in at least 75 and 50 countries, respectively, spread on four continents.I'm not sure if sailing qualifies, but it requires a lot of water space in order for one to surf. It is also very dangerous and can cause death if one is not careful.

Answer 8

There are very few places with reliable waves.Olympics moves from country to country.Yachting/rowing etc you can do on a lake.

Answer 9

h**l yeh. I think sports like judo and wrestling should not be there
