Trivia: The first surfboards were made of what?
Fiberglass
Stone
Rubber
Wood
The correct answer is Wood
So why is this answer correct? : Modern surfboards are commonly made of polyurethane or polystyrene foam and covered with layers of fiberglass cloth, but the earliest surfboards used by Polynesians were made of wood. Materials that were popular at the time included redwood, koa, cedar, and wiliwili. Eventually, surfers started mixing in lighter balsa wood to make the boards easier to carry, and after World War II, plastics entered the picture.
