Hamboards, Huntington Beach, California, United States

The board served two purposes: transportation for the preschoolers and a training device to get the older boys started on surfing. As neighbors saw the family on the boards, some asked Hamborg to make boards for them.
Despite the neighborhood popularity, Hamborg didn't think he could create a business selling the boards. Because of the great length of the decks, the plywood began to sag in the middle after continued use, and the bolts holding the wheels in place eventually would break through the wood.
