In 1985, a San Diego surfer named Tony Finn developed the Skurfer -- a hybrid of a water ski and a surfboard. It looked like a little surfboard, and was pulled by a boat while the rider performed surf-style carving moves on the wake. This riding style evokes visions of Snowboarding and Skateboarding with a bit of water skiing. Riders stood anywhere on these boards since there were no straps or bindings.
There is no actual date when it began. Nobody ever invented wakeboarding, it just happened! In the beginning, it didn't matter what type of boat or board you were using. People just wanted to try new things that had never been done before. People tried to ride everything from plywood to surf boards. I once read that until these sports were organized they were just random acts of "I bet I cans." Skiboard, skurf-board, skurfer are a few examples of names that were thrown around until wakeboard finally stuck.
