Hollow surfboards were invented in 1926 by a surfer named Tom Blake (1902 â 1994). Besides being one of the most influential and important figures in the history of surfing Tom Blake was also a national swimming champion, inventor, author and actor. Hollow surfboards soon replaced the old solid surfboards.
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.
