There aren't enough surfers in the world to support the needs of capital at the scale of Wall Street. There aren't enough surfers because it's hard to partake in surfing and partaking involves being cold and wet and many mouthfuls of salt water. Regularly partaking means living somewhere with good surf. That's not most of the world. Regularly partaking means having a lifestyle that affords time for surfing. That's not most lifestyles. Surfing is and has always been mostly aspirational.
