> tl;dr - I’m interested in getting more surfing-centric tagging into OSM, hopefully leading to an open surfing map.
As an avid surfer (Sydney region) and OSM contributor I love the sound of this! Something I note that is missing on the wiki ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dsurfing) is how to tag something when surfing *isn't* an option at a beach - the absence of `sport=surfing` on a beach node may just mean it hasn't been surveyed yet. Being able to query all surfable (or exclude non-surfable) beaches would be great for a road trip or choosing a campsite. For example, Brighton-Le-Sands never has waves as it's in Botany Bay. `sport=none` wouldn't make sense as it's a great spot for windsurfing (and beach cricket etc :D). Is there space for a tag like `surfing=unsuitable` or `waves=minimal` to be added to a `natural=beach`?
