I'm with Teehar and others on this. I lived in Florida a chunk of my teens and California most of my 20's. I always liked surfing and always watched the various championships since The Wide World of Sports days (I actually met Vinko Bogataj, the 'agony of defeat' ski jumper in San Diego once), but to have a surf channel? After the way all of us have complained over the years about the channels we'd like to see on Dish. And they want to blow the bandwith on surfing?!? Geez Louise.
