The surfing question asked for the preeminent big wave rider in the world, the best without question. And the answer is most certainly Laird Hamilton, basically the father of the sport. He invented tow-in surfing to be able to catch the waves for one. Great article about big wave riding about a month ago in Sports Illustrated.
They're still printing that rag?
Sure, make the guy from Indiana have to know the surfing crap.
I see how it is...
It's like that time VISHNU beat me head to head by 37 points in a CD game with two boating questions. He's from Michigan you heartless BT programming bastards!

So I loved seeing Kelly Slater up there knowing 99% of the players would pick him because to the average sports fan he's much more well known. Yes, Slater is top notch, and I've seen him surf on the North Shore in person, but he is definitely not the best big wave rider. Big wave riding is something totally different from what you have ever seen on TV.
Nice to know that I'm an average sports fan...

Sweet! When is your plane due in Indy?

All that said, congrats on your win tonight. The first two rounds just kicked my ass, even missed the first women's golf question.

Danke. In the land of the blind, at least for that game, our one eye finally came through for us...
That is, assuming ESM Lakewood didn't just fail to report out.
