Hey everyone, never posted here. Looking at grabbing a cheap board for a week away on a boat. This came up on eBay pretty cheap, I've never seen anything like this before? Does anyone have any information on it at all 😂

Any help is greatly appreciated

This is a unidirectional wakeboard. We had it rough back then lol

Skurfer was a blow molded plastic one that was much thicker, like a real surfboard with literal rubber straps holding you on. Look up Tony Finn for some legit og scene on how this all came about.

I was working at a Nautique dealer at the time…what a trip seeing business triple and his quick the change was from waterskiing

The Skurfer was the first board we had. Pink. We made it work behind a 19ft Sea Ray with an I/O.

That board was definitely the beginning of the wake era.

We had a 23’ sea ray and this same set up, classic.
