I don't see why it's such a big deal. Sledding down a snowy hill has been around a lot longer than surfing, and the former seems to describe what Legolas is doing better than the latter.<P>Legolas is a bright Elf, and anyone could figure out that you can get down the stairs faster that way. So there's nothing really anachronistic about it. Sure, Tolkien never said that Legolas did that, but he never said that he didn't.
