Best surfing invention/inovation

Been thinkin bout this one after the response to the negative side of the argument.Enough of the negative,im sure lots of the negatives will raise their respective heads here anyway!!My vote for BSI,THE FIN!!LET’S here sum more?

Howzit silverbak, I think the best invention was the surfboard itself. Aloha,Kokua

how about The Board Itself ?

gotta start somewhere

WEBZ!

AMIRITE!?!?!?

Roy?

I’m well kokua,you are right,again!!I am a numbskull!!Wot would a fin be without a surfboard?

NO!!

BSI = the hoot!

give 'em away as much as possible!

don’t even need a board and much less a fin!

a hoot let’s your buddy or a perfect stranger know

Nice one chris,i give plenty!!

That would have to be the most ingenious looking device for quickly halving and slicing watermelon on a hot summer’s day. Now how do we get those pesky seeds out?

You sure those aren’t oven mitts?

In addition to “the board,” I’d have to add foam, resin, and fiberglass as the giant leap forward in surfing’s progression.

clay based surf wax?

Astrodeck!

removable fin systems

leashes? (Not trying to start any fights here. :slight_smile:

Lot’s of people like legropes

Yeah,foam n fibreglass!!Funny then ,so many are experimenting with wood,be it veneers,hollows or chambered.Why is this?

HA HA!!

Absolutely hands down the inflatable surfmat. We can thank Dale for 30 plus years of careful R & D on both design and materials research. Nuanced perfection. More fun than I have had surfing since early early days as a kid!!!

Hey dr,got one sittin at home.Havn’t ridden it yet,but fondly remember my first rubber surfoplane.Ahhh… those were the day’s.Thanks to mooneemick for the chrissy present!!

my vote goes to something thats not really something you can physically touch but you can feel… stoke

Fiberglass.
