Do you need to study surfing specifically or can you study (say) economics and then focus on surfing - undoubtedly. Would I personally take that degree - no, its a recreational activity not a career. Do I think its likely to lead to employment - probably not really. But do I think its a worthwhile activity to be the subject of study - for sure.
I hate to see schools offering boutique degrees take advantage of gullible families and veterans.
