ISA boss has high hopes for surfing's Olympic debut, Xinhua reports

Surfing's world governing body is trying to make the world a better place through the sport, Fernando Aguerre, the president of the International Surfing Association (ISA), said on Monday. "The ocean is probably one of the very few places left that is free to everybody," Aguerre said in an exclusive interview at his home in sunny San Diego on Monday. "The vision of the ISA is to make the world a better place through surfing ... so we can connect." added the man who started lobbying the IOC in 1995 to get surfing into the Summer Olympics.

Aguerre's collection of 190 surf boards, many handmade in Hawaii, includes some from the 19th century.
