History Wakeboarding started in
the mid 80's when Tom Finn pulled a surfboard behind his
boat. Tom and his friends called it skurfing. They made
their first boards out of fiberglass, but then in 1987 Tim
hooked up with a Frisbee company to mold the first
skurfboard out of plastic. they added wind surfer stapes to
the board to add a potential for bigger air possible.
In 1990 Herb O'Brien put
out the first compression made board. the earliest tricks
were a lot like surfer moves. However, when skiers, skaters,
and snowboarders came to the sport they added a whole new
meaning to the word Wakeboard. By adding the tricks created
in all of these sports they made such tricks as the Tootsie
Roll, and Tweety Bird.
