    I think you don’t see many blacks surfing because it’s not a sport to which many blacks are exposed. Yes, we can watch in on TV like everyone else, but the average American (white, black or other) isn’t living in a part of the States where it’s warm enough or safe enough to surf. Not to mention those who have never even seen the ocean (some Midwesterners, for example). It’s not like the average black teen can just opt to join her high school surfing club as opposed to basketball or softball. If she’s from a large city or suburb, surfing is something she maybe will try only once in a lifetime. Much like the way a native of Florida might only take one ski trip in his or her whole life.
