Other: Assess: newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page); Swimming into Swimming (general activity) and Swimming (sport) (eventually create subarticles for varieties) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

[edit] Paddle In?

I'm gonna change the start where it says "paddle in," as tow-in big wave surfing is still considered big wave surfing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winkie (talk • contribs) 14:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remove Blue Crush

I make a motion to remove Blue Crush from the list of films about big wave surfing. First off, its not a film about surfing, but a romance movie with surfing in the background. A movie about surfing would be any movie that talks about the sport including the boards, spots, people, etc. involved, such as the remaining movies listed. Second, when compared to places like Jaws and Mavericks, Pipeline does not begin to compare. I would dare say pipeline is not big wave at all considering it is almost unheard of to do tow-ins (we wont even discuss how tow ins are the worst thing to happen to surfing ever).
