More vs. better waves: the surfer’s dilemma
Choosing the beach where we’re heading for our next session is part of the surfing experience. However, in most cases, the decision involves a series of non-ocean-related variables.
If waves weren’t scarce resources, our rational brain would lead us to the place where we could score the best waves, with distance to it being the only non-surf-related thing we would have to consider.
Sadly, we’re not alone in the surfing world, and our greedy nature forces us to evaluate all possibilities to maximize fun.
