Description

Bodyboarding History: While many Polynesians had probably ridden waves in a prone stance on thin wooden 'paipo' boards for centuries, the modern foam bodyboard is a direct invention of Tom Morey in the early 1970s. Tom's original idea was to find a fun and friendly way to make waveriding more accessible to the wider community. Tom's invention was licensed to the toy company Wham-O, makers of the Frisbee, and was sold to the public as the Morey 'Boogie' board. The subsequent mass production and embrace by the waveriding public led to the interest of the sport's early heroes such as Jack Lindholm, Ben Severson, Pat Caldwell, Mike Stewart and Nick Fahy. -see also Wikipedia- Thanks for looking and have fun!
