How Surfing was Invented Allegedly

So how did surfing come to be (or not be)? That's a perfectly legitimate question, which I'm sure has a perfectly legitimate answer like the following:

One day, probably around the late 60s to early 70s because that's right about the time Hippies came into existence, there was a young man living with his mother in Hawaii. It was mid-afternoon when the young man's mother called the house. "Did you iron all of your clothes?" she asked. "Yah . . ." her son replied. "Good because when I get home I need to iron all of my clothes," the mom said.

Oh crap, thought the young man. So then he hopped in his jeep and headed down to the beach. When he reached the shore he started looking out across the waves. Whoever invented ironing sucks! he thought. At last he saw it. The ironing board he had passionately tossed into the ocean earlier that day was floating 20 feet away.

He began to swim out to the board. The waves were pretty rough, but at last he reached it. He started paddling back towards shore when a huge wave swelled up behind him and started carrying on top of it. The young man quickly jumped on the board and started moving back and forth swiftly along the waves. At last he reached the shore. When he got off the board and looked back at the ocean all he could say was "Tubular".

And that is how surfing was possibly invented. (Image brought to you by Ffffound.com)
