Question

When was the very first ever surfboard made?

Answer 1

The first prehistoric boards came from Hawaii & possibly other Polenisian Islands. The first modern boards were produced in Calafornia.

Answer 2

The hawaiians have been making wooden surf boards for centuries, they were used by the chiefs.  Since they didin't keep a lot of records there's no way to tell when the first "Surf Board"was invented...  Probably the first one was a broken up canoe, and not an actual "made" surfboard.

Answer 3

The History of Surfing dates back hundreds of years. No one knows for sure who exactly invented surfing but somewhere in the Polynesian islands seems to be the consistent hypothesis.

History of the Surfboard: They surfed on 12 -24 foot surfboards carved out of a single piece of wood.

Answer 4

I heard it was made from a toy.
