Skurfing

Australian surfboard shaper and inventor Bruce McKee, along with associate Mitchell Ross, launched the world's first mass-produced plastic roto-molded construction skurfboard.

[citation needed] Later in 1985, California surfer Tony Finn invented the "Skurfer", a shorter, more narrow version of a surfboard with foot straps.

[2] Although the "Skurfer" was originally trademarked by Tony Finn, the word skurfing was potentially first coined in New Zealand by surfboard shaper Allan Byrne.

Byrne lent a surfboard to a man named Jeff Darby, in Queensland, Australia, who then started to make his own, and later came in contact with Finn, who would later produce the brand 'Skurfer' under royalty.

There are two main styles of water skurfing: noseriding – mostly used by people who surf on a longboard – or using cutbacks, carves, and other turns.

The rider then gently pumps the board to maintain speed and moves their weight further forward to help them stay on the wake wave.
