Could this be the first image of someone wakeboarding? Or would it be considered wakesurfing? Or would it be ditchin'?

I saw this photo this weekend. It looks like it is from 1940ish. Interesting.

What a lame a$$ comment. No where in this thread does it mention Tony's name or discredit him, so you basically discredited him by bringing it up. This picture was taken before Tony was even born.

Well said. I would say that it has to be one of the first pics of a board being pulled!!! Call it what you want it's pure innovation!

that actually looks like more excitement than wakesurfing.

Looks like they are starting off the others car's bumber. Almost more of a wake skate session then anything else.

This photo isn't as old, but still pretty funny. I think i cropped the part that says it was from 1966. Might be the first time the word wakeboard was used?

Tony Finn, I assume. Founder of Liquid Force and creator of wake boarding and the original skurfer.

Lee, you're one to call him a dick for defending himself from your unnecessary comment.

Your opinion is fine. But when it implies that I am saying something that I am not, I'm going to call you out.
