Honl’s Beach the Origins of Boogie Boarding
In fact, boogie boarding was actually invented here! On July 9, 1971, Tom Morey invented the modern Boogie Board. Residing just across the street from Honl’s Beach, Tom saw the awesome swells out his window, took a nine-foot piece of polyethylene foam, grabbed a knife, cut it in half, then shaped the board with a hot iron and an electric knife and the rest is history.
