The invention of the surfboard rocker could be credited to Bob Simmons (1919-1954). Bob Simmons is also the guy you could call the âFather of the Modern Surfboardâ. He introduced number of innovations and new shapes. Bob Simmons was constantly experimenting with surfboard designs.
Algae floats on water. Surfboards float on water. Therefore surfboards are made of algae. Obviously thatâs not always the case, but it is with the board you see here. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego recently teamed up with local surf suppliers to produce the worldâs first surfboard made from algae. UC professor and algae genetics researcher Steve Mayfield, himself an avid surfer for more than four decades, was all too happy to head up the project. For years, Mayfield has worked at creating algae-based biofuels at UCSD with the help of undergrad biology students.
