Imagine if somebody built a tow line on a popular break.
Then surfing could be more like skiing or snowboarding.
Snow sports don't demand that you walk up the slope every run, we have machines to do that for us. And you don't have to have great timing and a lot of experience to pick a ski run.
Anyway, I'm terrified of sharks. So I'll stick to the snow.
We use rip currents as tow lines so we don't need those ;) Around 5 times more people die from avalanches alone than from shark attacks each year so sell your skis and buy yourself one of those foam boards instead!

A good rule of thumb is a person should not surf a spot which they could not swim without a board. This keeps people from getting in over their heads and drowning.
