NOTES
BOARD HISTORY:
DESIGN HISTORY
Flexible foam bellyboard invented by Tom Morey in 1971 as an offshoot of his experimentation leading to the Morey-Doyle flexible surfboard.
Based on the Hawaiian paipo and incorporating flex and ‘vacuum track rails’ (Greenough / Brock hull design). Soft construction circumvents bodysurfing area restrictions.
Originally offered as a buyer assembled/mail order product.
The most popular surfcraft design of the twentith century.
