The problem is that they would still be gambling on the conditions being suitable on the day or days they have available for testing - if they are not then they end up with nothing to air. (This, BTW, is probably why they haven't tested the 'downwind faster than the wind' myth). Producers are under a lot of pressure to produce X number of episodes per year/season, and they can't afford to loose 7-10 days of filming. Thus they are going to be very wary of going forward with ideas that depend on factors beyond their control such as the weather. What is needed is a backup plan, a way they could test this (and similar) ideas out without having to rely on the wind. can't be that much harder than getting surfers, judges, sponsors, and camera crews together on short notice. Yes it is. Adam has noted that on several occasions they've had to scrap testing for the day, not because they were not ready but because they waited so long for the film crews to set up it became too dark to film. Filming for a TV show is a FAR more complex process than grabbing a camcorder, as the quality of the film and sound has to be higher for TV. In the case of MB they also have to set cameras up to cover all the angles because they probably won't get a second chance to get footage. angles like this? www.nelscottreef.com/NelscottReefSplashPage.html
