The sound was turned off and I wasn't able to find out where it was taking place. The waves weren't that big and the surfers were doing tricks. It was a little goofy.

My guess is that the surfers will be riding bigger waves than we can ever imagine in a hundred years from now. They'll be towed/flown to the waves using robot drones.

Yes. With global warming, surf spots will change. The Margaret River
spot isn't that good, imo. Get in a few moves then the wave closes out.
Very large waves in last night's contest. Larger than I would surf in.

Anyway some people do extreme large wave surfing now. They are towed
into the wave by jet ski to catch them early.

None of that for me ever. My favorite waves are about 3-6 foot faces,
not 20-30 foot faces. Fun to ride but not dangerous.
