Posted by Tom Morey Death – Tom Morey designer of the Boogie Board and one of the most compelling creators in the game of surfing, passed on Thursday, October 14. He was 86.
Morey got riding going to USC concentrating on science. In the last part of the 1950s Morey worked for Douglas Aircraft, with “material composites” that would ultimately prompt his advancement of perhaps the most well known wave-riding vehicle ever, the eponymous Morey Boogie, in 1971.
Reasonable, simple to ride, less unwieldy than surfboards, ok for youngsters, the Morey Boogie, more than the Wavestorm or any SUP, opened the conduits to the world when it came to getting to and riding waves.
Morey sadly sold the brand in 1977, a couple of years in the wake of beginning it, and never saw the monetary profit of his innovation’s fleeting ascent in mainstream society.
In a meeting with Surfer Today last year, Morey was gotten some information about the thing challenges are confronting boogie boarding in the following 50 years. Ever the futurist, and to some degree a spiritualist, Morey was a given individual from the Baha’i Faith, “a generally new religion showing the fundamental worth, everything being equal, and the solidarity, all things considered.”
