The Ultimate Surfer

I'm sorry, but this is just dumb. Who cares about surfing? What percentage of the United States lives on a coast and surfing is a thing in their area? They have to add all the drama to the show to give us something to actually watch - and the drama is flat and uninteresting.

In the end, who really cares about a surfing show? This is just dumb.

Scripted drama series like every other. Only with a surfing theme. If you're into fake drama you'll enjoy this, but if you're into surfing, this is not what we'd hoped it could have been.

Let's be honest here - We're only watching this show because Malia Ward is in it.

Keep up the good work kid - San Clemente, California is proud of you.

Casting for the sake of drama is so old. Please trust your show runners and producers to create a good enough show to hold our attention without creating #TeamX vs #TeamZ. It's ok and actually preferred to watch a show where contestants root for each other and are nice to each other. After the first episode I feel like I'm supposed to like one "side" and hate the other. Pitting the ladies against each other is pretty low.

I want to like the show; it aims to be Survivor-lite set on a wave. I've never had the opportunity to surf and would love to learn in that big wave pool! Sign me up, it looks so fun!

Awesome show! WSL Slater and ABC hit it on the spot with this new series.
