HRH Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who lit the Olympic Cauldorn at YOG Lillehammer 2016, became the Norwegian Junior Champion, following the sea sports tradition of her ascendants - her great-grandfather HM King Olaf V, three-time Olympic Champion, and her grandfather, HM King Harald V, three-time Olympian - both in sailing.

 

As we can see on that example, sailing is quite an old-fashioned sport, while surfing is very youth and... well, maybe not so urban.

He is already on Quaterfinals in Pipeline.
