so what's your favourite sport to watch on TV...........

I bet everyone is groaning now and going "oh my god....not another thread where Nels goes on about Rugby and the All Blacks...bla blah blah".....

But no..........my favourite sport to watch on TV is actually the weekly wrap ups of the ASP pro surfing events from around the world.....I just can't get enough of this.....and surfing in general on TV............

If you go to the contests often due to the smaler waves in front you can't really get a good view of what is happenning out the back on the bigger waves....but on TV you are right in there with the surfer the you get pan backs for the looser bigger manoevres.........

Big wave surfing is also fantastic....shot from overhead choppers with guys being towed onto those 10 story mountains which take them a minute or so to get all the way down the face of the wave sometimes......and then the wipe outs are just awesome........biggest wave I ever rode was about 12' which is huge and scary.....these guys are riding 3-4 times that height.......

oh..and yes....I do like Rugby on TV as well...........55555......especially test matches

hate cricket unless one team is about to win

football to me is boring now....not enough goals scored and too much money in the game....no allegiances anymore......

I'll also happily spend an afternoon watching golf..after just having come in off the course.........

I have actually played all of the games I mention above at some level too........so I guess that influences what you like to watch on the box.........you kind of have a inside knowledge of what you are watching.........and relate to it more intimately
