why not long boarding and surfing in the commonwealth games.

lots of other commonwealth countries surf,i know australia would dominate,
but theres lots of countries that dominate sport.
we don't take our marbles home every time we play NZ in Rah Rah.

Some good waves in Scotland as well Weiry - Thurso is an incredible place to bsse yourself for a surf trip if you ever feel the need. You can surf till 11 pm n paddle out at 3am if not earlier in the height of summer - the only time I felt the water was bearable Winter time with snow n and offshore wind is not for the faint hearted - trust me!

Agreed weiry can only be good for the com games and for surfing in general it would be fun to c the Fijian surfers take on the balmy waters of Scotland !

Surfing as a "sport"...prostituting the activity and ****ing it up for those who aren't involved in the money making and ego stroking of who's better than who?

I'd prefer to keep surfing on the down low, enough people into it already imo...used to annoy me that surfing was featured every blue moon for a few seconds on the sport part of the news. But since we have decent speed internet now, who cares what they show on tv.
