Surf media in our Age of Internet Wonder is absolutely bearhugging big waves, and from my end of the screen it is a joy. All that technology and information, the production-team manpower, truckloads of hardware, suites of software, everything aimed at a swell event rolling like a Panzer division into a contest window, then mixed and uploaded and streamed into my overheating MacBook Pro. Purple blobs, yellow lights, green lights, Condition Black, the surfer in orange needs a score in the excellent range to move into first. Four camera angles, minimum. Forget the highlights, forget the wrap-up. It has to be real time, with multi-view replay, and my Twitter feed on the side. Take it right up to the edge of overkill⌠then cross the line. I want to wakeâŚ
