Awesome. I was never really into surfing but I do like to watch it. It doesn't seem to get shown on TV much anymore.

Where i live, it never goes on TV. But on youtube, all the events are and in English or Brasilian or Spanish.

I think it was a more popular TV sport when I was a kid. I remember all the big events being covered by ESPN and played on TSN here in Canada.

I suppose it is cause of the cost of the events that it s only on Youtube nowadays. This year, PipeLine which is The Event with Teahupoo (Tahiti) , it is the last event of season, has been sponsored by Lexus brand (it s the 1st time). The sponsor used to be a Surf brand (Billabong, Quicksilver...) And also this year, there is an event in Abu Dhabi (it s the 1st time) which is not a surf spot but a money spot... It is an artificial wave (created and helped by K.Slater)
