Judges deducted points for such infractions as "bottom turning"-cutting in front of another surfer knifing down the wave.

When things finally skidded to a stop, 34 cars were locked in a tangled mass, blocking the expressway from curb to curb-and providing a classic picture of what happens in modern civilization when the slightest thing goes wrong...
