>When the wind blows, you get waves.

>All those holidays in the Med I had where I imagined waves.

BillK:
Probably I'm unfair in scaling waves to Haleiwa and Waimea, but that's
the environment I grew up. People don't travel to Italy to tube the
waves because Mediterranean (at least the Italian) waves are
inconsistent and often angle-high or nonexistent. I think one can have
more fun windsurfing/sailboarding, as the conditions are much more
suitable for that.
