P by one of their names means they get first chance at a wave. They are being scored on aerial moves and hitting the wave crest since the waves are too small to do barrels where you ride the inside of the wave as it breaks. Scores are awarded by how well they do what they do. The strategy is picking the right wave. Two best scoring waves are how each surfers scores are calculated.I don't really understand what's happening but I'm enjoying the surfing
Everyone knows a perfect score or a really low score (you wipe out). Nobody knows the middle scoresTrying to understand how surfing is scored gives me empathy for people trying to watch figure skating for the first time.
Definitely - I've already deduced that hands down and stepping off the board is a deduction.I have the skateboarding on. Go Team Australia!I have no idea what's going on!

Sounds like he could be a skeleton kind of guyMr. Spikefan used to skateboard and he is teaching me some stuff and is enjoying this. Maybe I can convince him of a mix of skateboarding and gymnastics trip for Paris 2024.Now I just need to figure out a winter sport he is into for Italy 2026.
As figure skating fans we have finally found our summer sport.I must say, if for whatever reason you like watching falls, skateboarding is the sport for you.
