- Abstract
Live sports broadcasting on television and radio has been an object neglected by the sport's historical studies in Brazil. In this work, we approach a sport that was rarely broadcast on television and radio, but that, in the last 15 years, has been broadcast over the internet: surfing. The article is divided into three parts. The first deals with live transmission, a historically relevant feature of television; the articulations between live and the immediacy of sports live; and technological convergence and live streaming. In the second part, we discuss characteristics of surfing and competitions in this activity that, historically, made it a challenge for live television broadcasting; and we describe the World Surf League platform/application, and its technical operation. Finally, we examine the webcasting of Corona Open J-Bay 2017 final, an event stage of the men's surfing World Tour. The description and analysis include practices adopted in the transmission and data of the audiovisual apparatus and technological effort mobilized by the WSL platform. One of our goals is to understand how the classic standards of live sports broadcasting appear within the webcasting of surfing championships. To do so, we use a bibliography that includes historical studies of the sport and debates about the possibilities of spectatorial provided by streaming technology and the lexicon of sports transmission theorized by Garry Whannel.
