Surfing, obviously
but I used to play hockey for a local team for a while.

I'm so shit at football it's unbelievable. I can tackle and make half decent crosses, but that is the total of my ability. Not very useful when I can't dribble, control the ball, shoot or defend.

Is surfing a sport?
EDIT: I suppose it does fall in the watersports category. I more think of it as a pasttime. I wouldn't call skateboarding a sport either.

I just don't think of stuff like surfing, diving, sailing, etc., as sports. Probably because the word sport leads me to feelings of hatred and annoyance because it's synonymous with football.

It's a sport if it requires a degree of athleticism
so you could argue snooker, cricket, darts, pool, are games

surfing, footie, rugby etc are sports.

if you read the first bit of the wikipedia entry about sport
then only organised, competitive things are sports.

I'd really like to try surfing.
I play footy every Tuesday. I'm by far the worst that plays, but it is fun. Like you, I can tackle and cross, but my finishing is shit...
