Surfers compete in heats in the Olympics. Depending on the conditions, each surfer can catch as many waves as possible. The surfers with the highest scoring waves will advance to the next heat. In the first heat of the day, there are three waves to choose from.
The first wave is the hardest, the second is medium, and the third is easy. If you catch a wave, you get a point for each wave you caught, up to a maximum of 10 points. You can only catch one wave at a time, so you can’t catch two waves at the same time.
There is no time limit on catching waves, but you have to catch at least 10 waves in a row before you are eliminated from the competition. In the event of a tie for the top spot in the heat, it will be decided by a coin toss.
