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.
