"Any time the wind blows: 'What direction is the wind?'" said Owen Wright, 31...

ICHINOMIYA, Japón— El debut del surf en los Juegos Olímpicos está dejando claro que estos domadores de las olas son también maestros sin título en ciencias —en climatología, meteorología y oceanogafía, para ser exactos. Los cazadores profesionales de olas son por definición fanáticos de las ciencias atmosféricas porque pocos deportes —o quizá ninguno— dependen tanto de una variable tan incontrolable: el clima. Y pocos se definen en una cancha tan dispareja literalmente, el océano. Se sabe que los surfistas estudian a detalle todos los...
