A surfboard, invented in ancient Hawaii, is an elongated platform used to support an individual standing on them while breaking a wave. They are made of polyurethane or polystyrene foam covered with layers of fiberglass cloth, and polyester or epoxy resin, making them light, strong, buoyant and maneuverable.
